——A whole big bunch of people in the city are Republicans. Being badly influenced by some thuggish Libertarians, they have been convinced that “City Building Inspectors” are just a waste of the city’s money.
Nice try (you are defending corrupt democrats - I get it) but —just like Congress when this subprime mess was being cooked up— big cities are run by Democrats. The bribes for the building inspectors — they get kicked back to the alderman and da mayor. The people that are immolated in the houses that burn down because of the wiring violations? - they are the little minority people that the Democrats said they were going to protect from the ‘exploitative racist Republicans’.
——In that vein, who got the greedy bankers money all those years? Fanny Mae Freddie Mac
Dodd, Christopher J S D-CT $133,900
Kerry, John S D-MA $111,000
Obama, Barack S D-IL $105,849 (in just 2 years)
Clinton, Hillary S D-NY $75,550
And of course the Democrats are always punishing the financials right?????
Democrats are darlings of Wall St.

Yes, citizens should be calling for prosecution of Elliot Spitzer (perverting the law as attorney general of NY)
It appears the Feds are suing Elliot Spitzer over his lawsuits in the Mortgage Industry. The New York State Attorney General, Elliot Spitzer is getting sued by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC). The NY AG’s abuses of power has been noticed by the Federal Government as the lawsuit against the mortgage industry by Spitzer appeared to be a power play to extort more money from the deep pocket companies.

Not sure why you say you got me.
It is I who has said all along that the government (Chris Dodd, Barney Frank, Andrew Cuomo, Pres Clinton, and some Republicans as well) failed to regulate ......identifiably when it forced lenders to make bad mortgages inspired by leftist ideology and the flood of cash that the financial industry shovelled to the Congressional thugs and thieves.
OMG, you are chugging full of Republican Bed Time Stories. Let’s see, it wasn’t Wall Street, it was those bad minorities and ACORN and the CRA. Now goody two shoes little Republicans can go to bed at nite smug in the knowledge that our Republic is safe if we can just cut the poor out of the loop. AND, it was those mean old crooked Democrats that caused this mess, and once again, we can sleep secure with little dreams of clipping coupons for a living, if we just get back in power.
BALONEY!
I like Ann Coulter, but Karl had to spank her bad little bottom for this same kind of nonsense. He spanked her so well that I’ll start there. (And if it was me it would have been a lot harder, because I would have included Phil Gramm, Leach, Bliley, and other Republicans:
parsy, who says consider your self on time out in the corner
