This economic crisis is not just about bad mortgages and/or the housing bubble bursting, and it won't be solved by reinflating that bubble, the Republicans' latest dumb idea. These problems have been building since at least the 1970s.

Hey, a$$hole, it was the Commie Rats idea in the first place: forcing banks to give loans to people that they knew had no way to repay them, in order to satisfy socialist ideology (aka. the 'Community Reinvestment Act').

Here's a better idea: bring back redlining, and screw the subhuman slime that live in those areas. They embrace Third World barbarism with their 'gansta' culture anyway, so let them turn their neighborhoods into Baghdad. When they want to live like civilized human beings instead of rabid animals, then give them a hand. Until then, f' em.

The power of liberal dominance of the media is that they can blame the Republicans for everything. It reminds me of Orwell's' 1984. Rewrite the news to fit the needs of the state. The Republicans had little to do with this economic mess. First, they are usually the minority party, second all of the bad guys so far have been Democrats and huge Democratic party supporters, third, Bush was a serious RINO and gave the Dems what they wanted more often than not. Its them, folks but the media says its us.

Wait until the stimulus fails to pass. Republicans fault. Wait until the stimulus passes and doesn't work. Republicans fault. Wait until the stimulus passes and works. Republicans were obstructionists and didn;t support the miracle... yada yada yada.

Amen, I totally agree with your entire post. Too bad no one in power will speak the plain truth and say what you said.
