John McCain:
“This corruption was encouraged by Democrats in Congress, and abetted by Senator Obama.
Senator Obama has accused me of opposing regulation to avert this crisis. I guess he believes if a lie is big enough and repeated often enough it will be believed. But the truth is I was the one who called at the time for tighter restrictions on Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac that could have helped prevent this crisis from happening in the first place.
Senator Obama was silent on the regulation of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, and his Democratic allies in Congress opposed every effort to rein them in. As recently as September of last year he said that subprime loans had been, quote, a good idea. Well, Senator Obama, that good idea has now plunged this country into the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression.
To hear him talk now, you’d think he’d always opposed the dangerous practices at these institutions. But there is absolutely nothing in his record to suggest he did. He was surely familiar with the people who were creating this problem. The executives of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac have advised him, and he has taken their money for his campaign. He has received more money from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac than any other senator in history, with the exception of the chairman of the committee overseeing them.”
(In Billy Madison voice) Somebody’s closer!
Guess Sarah made a difference!!!
Woo hoo, now CBS is our favorite pollster. Oh well.
I was told today by Scarborough and O”Reilly it was over.
But but but.. the election is over. After all, Scott Rasmussen said so.
...since CBS only asked Democrats, I’d think we were doing pretty good....
hmm
I’ll take any better news at this point...:)
The “enthusiasm” weighing is interesting to me. Obama supporters will vote for him very passionately while many McCain voters will cast a lukewarm vote.
But each vote counts exactly the same.
That’s just the nature of our political system, but I remember in college I learned that there are alternative voting methods that can actually weigh intensity of feeling and adjust accordingly. I’m not sure if any nations around the world currently use such a system or not.
but Rasmussen says the race is over???
wsh we had some internals on this one...party weighting
LOL!
Once again McCain leads among Independents. And yet some polls have him down by 8 while winning independents by 10. Unfreaking believable.
Gee to listen to Fox Report and the Buttway Boy on there it is over forMcCain and Palin. What a bunch of out of touch morons. I recall McCain being broke and had to fire his whole staff not too long ago. Can a rag tag band of mavericks defeat the all powerful Obama and his media Empire. DARN RIGHT THEY CAN. Sarah Skywalker and Obie wan McCain on to the attack!!!
The polls, like the MSM are not to be trusted. They are all a joke. Just like in 2004.
“He has received more money from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac than any other senator in history, with the exception of the chairman of the committee overseeing them.”
In my fantasy world someone tells the little o to his face that he received $________ (fill in the number) of dollars from Fannie Mae, and then asks, Senator, did they get their monies worth from you?
