Special Report With Brit Hume

[Siena Dreaming]

What influence did Barney Frank have before 2007?

You honestly don't think Frank had influence before '07?

[trumandogz]

Did Barney Frank have to power to sign bills into law?

[MontaniSemperLiberi]

I’m sorry, what filibuster was that? Are we making up fictional filibusters just to make ourselves feel better about the party we vote for?

[Siena Dreaming]

Who said he did?

[MontaniSemperLiberi]

Between ‘03 and ‘07, no he did not. The only power he had was to flap his lips.

[MontaniSemperLiberi]

Distracted? Seriously? That’s our defense of Bush? He was so distracted he failed to reign in Fannie and Freddie?

[Pearls Before Swine]

Yes, any GOP President elected in 2008 would have had a problem to face, but I believe the deficit would not have broached $700 billion, and would be back down below $400 billion now, with unemployment down in the 7% range, with GDP growth in the 2-3% range.

I agree. Even Bush wouldn't have screwed up the budget this badly, and I've said I thought he was economically disinterested. Obama's crew is aggressively "never letting a crisis go to waste."

[Pearls Before Swine]

Bush did not propose spending ten or thirty billion to help minorities buy homes, he proposed 440 billion!

OK, I'm a piker. I was thinking of his compassionate conservative thrust right after election, when he was going to buy tons of AIDs drugs for the African continent. What was the 440 billion initiative?

[MontaniSemperLiberi]

Sorry but the financial crash was the Republicans' fault including Bush. They COULD have defunded Freddie and Fannie without the Democrats permission but they chose not to.

FR thread on this graph.

where it all began -

ACORN/Obama sued the banks and forced them to make the risky loans - and now they're suing the banks because they DID.

It's how Communists work - lie, lie, lie - knowing most people wont’ know the difference...

How tragically true that is

[Siena Dreaming]

Between ‘03 and ‘07, no he did not.

Really? You think he had absolutely no influence for those 4 years?

The fact that he was on TV constantly "flapping his lips" as you put it (in other words, giving the far left sickos their yelling points) shows that somebody thought he had quite a bit of influence.

[FromTheSidelines]

Fundamental problem with that graph:

Fiscal Year 2009 was NOT President Bush. It was passed by Nancy Pelosi’s House and Harry Reid’s Senate on February 23, 2009 and signed into law by President Obama on March 13, 2009. President Bush had nothing to do with FY2009’s budget - yet your graph says it’s his.

Sorry, when you get basic facts wrong, then the rest is under suspicion as well.

[LomanBill]

Very good.

"The right to search for truth implies also a duty; one must not conceal any part of what one has recognized to be true."
--Albert Einstein

The path that leads out of this bamboozled criminal fiasco goes directly through Truth and ACCOUNTABILITY. 

[FromTheSidelines]

I’m sorry, what filibuster was that? Are we making up fictional filibusters just to make ourselves feel better about the party we vote for?

No, we're remembering history rather than ignoring it and creating our own version. Revisionism is abhorrent to conservatives...

[LomanBill]

Who's the GodFather in the balloon and how did he get his Ambassadorship?

[LomanBill]

 

Q: Who's the GodFather in the balloon and how did he get his Ambassadorship?

 

{crickets crickets crickets}

 

Here, maybe this will jar some life back into the evidently inert RINO collective memory...

 

Best Rats and RINOs Money Can Buy

Dawn Arnall was the wife of Roland Arnall - the "Godfather of Subprime"

 

[FromTheSidelines]

So that means that Dodd didn’t threaten a filibuster? I’m not sure I see your point...

[LomanBill]

[Sorry, when you get basic facts wrong, then the rest is under suspicion as well.]

 

Well GeeOpie, how'bout you deliver some basic facts about who the Godfather of Subprime was - and how he got his self appointed Ambassador to the Netherlands?

 

Here - I'll help:

"Woops"

 

Where's LEO and RICO, RINOs?

 

 

 

 

[FromTheSidelines]

Ignoratio elenchi.

How does an ambassador appointment relate to or change the facts of FY2009’s passage?

Simple question: the graph attributes FY2009 to President Bush. Who wrote, passed, and signed FY2009?

[LomanBill]

Dodd's a Kleptocratic jackwagon.  So? That's his nature.

Try as you will, using that as a red herring does not undo the nature of the "Fithcally Conthervative" Rainbow RINOs who appointed the GodFather of Subprime as Ambassador to the Netherlands.

 

{Tawonnnnnnnng.... Incoooming!}

 

NO SALE

 

Maybe W shoud've given them a swift kick in the arse OUT of his administration instead of that "Nudge, Wink, just be patient" manure.
