is why would a voter want to vote and live in a Country
that moved drastically like France and Socialism.
Socialism means less freedom,more taken out of one's
paycheck and a lessening of standard of Living.
Voting Democrat will surely move us towards Socialism.
Like why would democrats want to Increase Capital gains
when the market is hurting.That makes No sense.
Why would democrats be obstinately against Nuclear power
when it is safe and beneficial.Or why against drilling where
we know there is oil.?
Why play games like Democrats do,in a time of a faltering Economy.
I don't understand the mindset of Democrats.
The surge IS working and yet they have an inability to admit.
In troubled times,it is dangerous to be babbling buffoons.
Like Harry Reid asking where McCain is and why not Washington,during
an impending crisis.So McCain rushed off to Washinfton and Reid and
Barney Frank call it a stunt and he gummed up the works and oughta just
go back home.Now,John Kerry was on - O'Reilly - basically blaming the
republicans as cutting for Dixie and weenie out just because they
may have had their feeling hurt by Madame Speaker calling Republicans
Unamerican and tied to Failed Bush policies.
Maybe it's good I don't understand why Dimocrats act and see government
as they do.
I mean ... doo-doo !

You have to have something to think/understand with, in order to understand anything, whether it's Democrats or silly putty.

That's easy... it's a Robin Hood mentality... we'll rob from the rich and give to the poor.

But what happens when the "rich" like in England in the 1980's decided they are done giving to the poor and close up shop? Putting people out of jobs and calling it quits on income that can be taxed? So then what?

I'm with the folks in England. As soon as my house is paid off I'm retiring and becoming one of the "unwashed" masses that collect whatever... I'm at that age and the only thing that keeps me going is bettering my own life, not theirs. I don't mind helping. I've done that all my life but I'm tired and have had enough. It is time for me, not them. I don't owe them. They OWE themselves to get off their butts and work... horrors of horrors...

Not exactly the - " cradle to grave " explanation I felt the
Dimocrats feel secretly entitled.Because no matter what,the Dems
can't just be Open & Honest.Always have to Hoodwink the Masses.

"Hoodwink" the masses? The Dems? You are too kind... they LIE... out-right and knowingly but who cares? Barney Frank? Helped what? He WAS the problem! He STOLE MILLIONS from unsuspecting investors with his assessment of Fannie Mae. Who cares? Not the DEMS. They tout him and "Call me Obama" as the angels of this bill. Spare me...

How unbiased of you. :rolleyes:

Prove it.


Who cares? Not the DEMS.

Of course you're right...half the country doesn't care...only the Republicans truly care enough about the people to spend trillions of dollars we borrowed from China.

[QUOTE=Vilepagan]How unbiased of you. :rolleyes:



Prove it.

So,Barney Frank,once described by The Wall Street Journal as " The Patron Saint
of Fannie Mae and Freedie Mac,as late as 2003 REJECTED Bush administration proposals
for increased oversight of Fannie Mae.And was offering-up praise the next year along
with fellow Democrat Maxine Waters of then Fannie Chairman and CEO FRanklin Raines,
who resigned under a cloud,to be investigated for garnering $90 Million in salary
and bonuses for 6 years service.I'd say that pretty much answers yer query.

Frank also rejected further government intervention in the mortgage lending industry
saying, " These two entities - Fannie Mae and Freedie Mac - are not facing any kind of
financial crisis,the more people exaggerate these problems,the more pressure there is on
these companies,the less we will see in terms of affordable housing."
That is when he and Fannie went into overdrive.

As late as July 14,2008 Frank said on CNBC { financial network } ," I think this is a case
where Fannie and Freedie are fundamentally sound,that they are not in danger of going under.
They're not the best investment in the long-term standpoint going back.I think they are
in good shape going forward.
I Rest Me Case .......................... Unless you want someone to draw a Pic of Frank
when he's at home,relaxing.
