As I read this, it actually started taking off during the Bush administration with a REPUBLICAN Congress, correct? Hussein just pumped steroids into the system, in the final attempt to DESTROY the country.

Tell me again, WHY should we vote for republicans? Because they're better than the "alternative"??? What the hell's the difference these days????

You ask a good question even as you hint at the answer. Objectively, both parties bear considerable blame. Yes, the Dems were instrumental in passing the CRA and pressuring Fannie and Freddie to underwrite the goofy loans that were being forced on local banks. But the GOP was roughly equally at fault for their acquiescence to the repeal of Glass-Steagal. Glass-Steagall was a 17 page bill that kept banks who had access to the Fed lending facilities from gambling with taxpayer money. It did a damn good job from 1932 to 1987. If you’ve been watching the hearings on finan reform lately, you’ve heard mutterings along the lines of “we need to bring back Glass Steagall”, and I think Sen Levin said that, quote unquote. Both of these sagas are longish stories that I can’t precisely chronicle...(but the info is out there if you wish to delve. I believe it is helpful to understanding “how we got here”)

But I’d also suggest that the “solution” (if any actually exist) lies not in the assignment of blame to this or that party. Where it *does* lie, IMO, is along the lines of what occurred after the S&L crisis in the early nineties. After that crisis was resolved, over 1,000 successful prosecutions were carried out by the Feds and great numbers of bank executives did hard time behind bars. Now? You can count the number of bank execs who have been prosecuted on one hand with fingers to spare.

You may wish to look for a few videos by William (Bill) Black on YouTube. He has a smallish number of lectures and interviews posted there. He was the primary Fed prosecutor during the S&L fiasco, and makes it pretty clear what was going on.

Now I will say, that what you might learn from Bill Black is forensic. It’s historical. It may be that you’re more interested in what we will be facing as time goes by. It’s not pretty, but it is a serious purge and reality-confront that we almost certainly cannot avoid.

you do remember that the rats controlled the House TWO years before bama didn't you?...and that the messiah was sitting his skinny little arse in the Senate TWO years before the presidential election......you do remember the constant hinderance the rats put up to ANY reform or changes to Fannie and Freddie don't you ?.......

.if you don't realize the sh^t that this country is in, that if we only had won a few more Senate seats intead of having close calls in several states, we wouldn't be in this mess....

if people can't figure out the good guys vs the bad guys, then either they're not really reading and listening or they just aren't really conservatives to begin with...

I see it coming already.....the "conservatives" and the pubs are going to eat each other alive INSTEAD of focusing on a complete shift in the house and senate that would STOP the insanity going on immediately...

we'll dink around and divide the patriots and then some idiots will run third party and some idiots will vote third party and SHAZAAM....the rat gets elected again and again and again..

I absolutely believe that there are many plants on blogs and forums that are paid to disrupt and agitate.....
