    Whenever the legislation includes the following, you know we’re in trouble: “communities”, "low-income, minority, or underserved”, “fair lending”. And that is what this legislation is all about. They will train the ‘less fortunate’ to be financially literate so after they get all the money from the workers of America they will know how to invest it. It has been another eye-opener to see just how far this country has progressed toward socialism and the Obama dream. Granted, there have been many laws on the books that did bits and pieces of the new legislation, but as the Progressives get more...

    Hidden on the Federal Reserve's website is a full explanation of its part in the creation of the housing crisis. Each of their 12 offices has a CRA (Community Reinvestment Act) department for the promotion of "social justice". Congress and the Fed, who was to be overseeing the banks, knew full well what was going on. The defense from them that the banks were solely to blame is another Progressive lie. They both knew that the banks were making bad loans and issuing mortgage backed securities, dumping them into the giant garbage cans paid for by taxpayers--Freddie and Fannie. Whether...

IMHO, the narrower the definition, the less likely they will be elected. What are the most important factors? Thanks for your patience – this is meant to be an honest question.
  • What's wrong with the GOP - take a look at gop.com

    When is this pathetic group going to wake up. This website http://www.gop.com/ is a disgrace. And they are going to compete with a computer savvy group like moveon.org? I know what I'm talking about here. I just completed a great site of my own. Granted gop.com is a beta version, but the retards should know you test the site off line before you 'show' it to the public. First the artwork reminds me of communist China - the overall design sucks. Nothing works - you have to sign up multiple times - the links don't work. Of course there is...
