Not surprising that today's financial markets turmoil can be traced with a solid line (not a dotted line) to Clinton policies.

Let’s hope Sarah makes this point, because all I’ve heard from McCain is that it’s a failure of the regulators. It is precisely because of Clinton’s regulations mandating that minorities with no credit rating and no income be given loans that this entire subprime mortgage/banking meltdown has taken place. Politicians know as much about finances as pigs know about calculus.

So let me see if I understand.

Dems try to ‘implement’ fairness and encourage an unsound practice — they argue that extra government oversight will keep this from going bad; except it didn't.

I am trying to find information about when the worst of the subprime loan types started. They are the zero downpayment NINJA loans. NINJA stands for No Income, No Job, (and no) Assets.

why was this posted in “general chat”?
It’s a news editorial

a well-intended Carter-era law designed to encourage minority homeownership.

And naturally the Dems will attack this line of criticism as racist.

What about all those millions of bad subprime loans that originated in 2002-November 2006 when the republicans controled the House and Senate???

The republicans are just as guilty. It was greed. Plain and simple.

I’ve been hearing Plugs - Menendez - Stretch and the rest of the RAT’s bash President Bush and McCain regarding the current situation. Our side needs to get out in front of this NOW before perception becomes reality.

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 liberal Clintons.

Quota-pimp Clinton made stupid PC appointments----he put know-nothing Franklin Raines into Fannie Mae where the crook proceeded to loot the agency while fraudulently cooking the books. (Wonder what Clinton's cut was?)

Thanks to sap-happy Clinton, 2008 markets are devastated, and multi-billion dollar bailouts will crush the backs of working class taxpayers.

Lets make it even more simple. Never invest in any corporation controlled by liberals.

McClatchy, Lehmann Brothers,Freddie Mac and Fanny Mae are real life models of what happens when liberals are in charge of corporations:

Please wise and conservative, never invest your hard earned savings into stock of corporations controlled by liberals.
