We did. Now we are Homeless. Thanks Mr Bush, thanks one helluva lot.

Shouldn’t have spent 200 thousand fighting these bastards in better times.

Hope your Christmas is better...

Sorry, had to tell someone, and believe it or not this IS Politics..

Appreciate the DU keeping us sane over all these years, but I’ll not be posting any more, hopefully we’ll get it together, but it’s time for me to go.. This is too Grim.

Thanks to all.

OK, I feel bad for anyone who loses their home. But did they not make the connection between spending $200,000 fighting President Bush, and not being able to make their mortgage payments? So now, of course, it’s all Bush’s fault.

Extreme fail!

I was following Symbolman’s plight when this was happening. This was one of those cases where he was trying to raffle the house off. Raise enough money off the auction to pay off the mortgage and then give the house away. As I recall, Symbolman got around this being an illegal lottery by making it an essay contest that cost $100 to participate in.

The guy blew $200K trying to "fight Bush"? Instead of paying his mortgage? I genuinely feel sorry for anyone who is homeless, but this guy might make me rethink that.
