EXACTLY!! McCain and Palin need to keep hammering on the fact that it was DemocRATs that caused this mess!

It was Clinton policies that mandated reduced lending standards. It was DimocRATs Dodd, Franks, Meeks, Waters, et al that for years opposed ANY tougher regulation and oversight into the activities of Fannie and Freddie, despite warnings from Republicans (including McCain himself) and OFHEO auditors.

Make so much noise that the MSM are forced to start talking about the Dims involvement in this mess, just like they are having to do now with Ayers.

Precisely! There is a YouTube video somewhere that shows the hearing a few years ago where the Republicans are sounding the alarms and hauling Franklyn Raines across the coals. Interestingly, Maxine Waters and a bunch of other Dems are on record saying “Mr. Raines is doing great job. There is nothing wrong at either Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac.” The GOP should use this info to show that the Dems are not capable of seeing beyond their own special interests. Instead, what do we hear from the GOP?
