Peruse through the reader responses. This is the story that's being largely ignored as McCain grandstands as savior and Bush panics with democrats. Both are big proponents for this crap and both are responsible for encouraging law breakers to use Federal resources to accelerate bankruptcy of the mortgage loan industry. And you people want McCain as your President? LOL!

Ping.

...after all, isn’t everyone entitled to credit?”

They sure are. It's in the constitution. Just after the right to an abortion. And just before the right to infringe on owning a handgun.

If McCAIN does NOT get on the news and tell the people how the democraps CAUSED this mess, then he deserves to lose and we are all doomed if this $700Billion boondoggle to ACORN gets passed.

In case you didn’t notice, there are 2 viable candidates for the presidency. If not McCain then it must be Obama. I would rather elect my Coon cat!

[NonValueAdded]

NO, we don’t want Obama as our President. There is no other choice now. None.

Peruse through the reader responses.

Interesting reading, with some good anecdotal reports.

But because she was a legal alien waiting for her green-card (which she had recently applied for), we didn’t qualify.

Does this mean that fewer immigrants would have qualified for the special loans if the "Amnesty program" had gone through and they had received green cards?

THE ROOT OF THE PROBLEM: Congress enabled this financial disaster. Sap-happy liberal Congressmen threatened banks for "red-lining," .......when banks were simply doing a lender's job to qualify people for mortgages.

This is the political correctness atrocity at work. It would have been too "judgemental" to tell marginal people they could not afford to buy a house beyond their means.

Political correctness is the sword that slew the economic dragon.

Many of the laws requiring government oversight of the market written after the last great market crash-----in 1929---- were eliminated during the Clinton administration---one of many ignorant moves by the self-absorbed "tolerant and compassionate" liberal Clintons.

It's not beyond reason to conclude that the mortgage/market debacle is the consequences of (1) moral relativity----and (2) disestablimentarianism (the deranged obsession with tearing down the foundation of Western Civilization).

Anything remotely connected to moral absolutes of right and wrong smacks of "religion" to disturbed religion-hating liberals.....and has to be destroyed.

TAXPAYERS WANT TO HEAR POLITICIANS SAY (1) THEY WILL REPLACE THESE LAWS, (2) throw out political correctness, AND (3) WILL NOT ALLOW ILLEGALS AND OTHER MARGINALS TO PROFIT FROM OUR ECONOMIC SYSTEM.

McCain has some clear strengths. He’s also got weaknesses. That’s why I supported first Hunter, then Thompson, then no one, and finally, McCain, after he picked Palin.

I absolutely do not want Obama to be president.

Mathematically, every vote that McCain does not get makes it more likely that Obama will be president. I’m not talking about anyone’s motivation. I’m simply addressing the mathematics of the situation.
