A brief review:

For at least six years the Democrats/media have been trying to talk us into a recession.

For at least six years the Democrats/media have been blasting the Bush Administration/Republicans as the “worst administration ever’ and responsible for all the ills we experienced, the Republican Culture of Corruption.

Bottom line, the Left blast the present administration, depending on the adage of “A lie repeated often enough becomes perceived as truth, and the bigger the lie the better its chances of success.

Unfortunately, for whatever reason, Bush refused to defend himself or his policies, allowing the Republicans to sink lower and lower in public opinion and helping the Left.

Then, as the coup de tete, the Democrats trigger this economic crisis, which they set up, and they and the media are blaming the Republicans for the crisis the Democrats engineered.

The Democrats/media have no ideas that are acceptable to the right/center American populace so they must depict the other side, the Republicans as the Devil in order to make themselves acceptable. That is wht they have done. They then populate the frontpages and evening news with negative stories, conduct polls to agree with the stories, and then say "The American People think ..." to validate that slant even if it is not true. This strategy continues until the election, including the "exit polls" during the election, and if they still lose, wbhich is often the case, they scream "Fraud, stolen election, etc." Too many people fall for it. Go figure!

“We made a mistake as a society in promoting homeownership as a universal achievable goal,” [Barney Frank] said.

What an astounding piece of work this revolting little rump ranger is. Every time he opens his mouth some new nugget of rancid lib speak spews forth. I feel like I need a shower every time I hear him. I'd say he's a criminal waste of oxygen except that would be insulting to criminal wastes of oxygen everywhere. How even brain dead Rats can continue to vote for this ass clown is one of the great mysteries of the Universe. The only phrase that comes to mind is “I wish I knew how to quit you!” AUGH! Now I definitely need a shower.

That also applies to Big Gubmint health care and retirement plans - no?

I find this so humerous when these asanine policies come back to bite them in the butt. Unfortunately, we have to pay for it first. That's why, according the Maha, they're dangerous in power.

The Newton Democrat also reiterated his call for a substantial reduction in the military budget, saying the US armed forces had become "overextended."

Let's cut Barney's salary by 50%. If he finds himself financially "overextended", cut it by another 50%. Continue the process until his approach solves his problem. What a dumbass.

“We let the free market set housing policy for a while in this country, and you can see what we get when we do that,” Callahan said.

Well, for one thing we would have be 700 billion less in the hole, moron

Was that a confession?

Barney Frank Confesses To Entire Mortgage Mess

If that was a confession, then this satire is pure genius.

Having the guy from the Mass. Affordable Housing Alliance on board confirms it: ‘affordable’ rental housing is the next big scam, and they’ve already got approval for that $700 billion they’re about to dig into.

Exactly correct. President Bush was a huge disappointment to me but he is hardly one of our worst presidents ever. The Rat strategy is an age old one practiced by every would be dictator. They realize that at least half of the population is clueless and wouldn't know a Marxist from Groucho Marx. This is why they need a lock on the schools and media. They like the populace nice and ignorant.

When asked what experience he has to run any financial institution, Mr. Frank replied, “Other than keeping the books on my boyfriend’s brothel, not much. My checkbook is balanced most of the time and I have no outstanding debt that I wish to discuss at this moment.”

Is that true? Oh, my...

the market will likely encourage a large increase in affordable rental housing.

Especially for those making more than $250,000.

I dunno about you but I vote for my GOP represenative to actually represent me and my conservative values. Not give me lip service.

Certainly not sit on his/her thumb while the Dems run the show.

The GOP had control of both houses and the White House for overten years and they didn't do a damned thing about this.

Even if they couldn't do anything but shout at the top of the lungs, it would have been better than to be silent and give approval of this fraud.

Sorry but the GOP is just as guilty if not more. THEY should have known better.

I'm no F%%king Dem. I EXPECT more for my tax money and my Vote. You should too.

"We let the free market set housing policy for a while in this country, and you can see what we get when we do that"

So says Tom Callahan, executive director of the Massachusetts Affordable Housing Alliance

Another "Community organizer" and Barney's back up Butt Boy.
