>>The GOP would have gotten shouted down, even by many conservatives who were demogogued by Dems who incessantly shouted “It’s all the banks’ fault”.<<<
ta-da!!! there’s my greater point- they (GOP) fight like little girls....who cares if they were shouted down if they had a valid point and the principles to stand by it??? was the Tea Party embraced or shouted down at just about every possible corner??? i’m glad you think they’ll take up this sword and use it this time around cause i sure as hell don’t.....
I heard many people on the GOP side try to talk about FNM, the CRA. Yes, you may not CARE that they were shouted down but that's inconsequential; the fact is that they WERE.
Louder screaming would never have worked because as I said confusion reigned and people didn't really want to hear truth...they just wanted to vent. Even many conservatives believed Democrat lies of class warfare.
Some people think that shouting is the answer. Not so. Sometimes revenge IS a dish best served cold. And logical cases such as the one this book may present have won many wars where loud shouting could not.
