Isn't it by definition a waste of time? We saw that a lot on Duncan Hunter threads, now on the certifigate threads. I'm sure there are some religion threads that would qualify. So I offer this thread where Freepers can log on and let other freepers which ones they consider to be a waste of time. Maybe at some point in time we'll have the capability to filter...

In 2006, he pushed for stronger regulation of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac - while Mr. Obama was notably silent.

Now, Joe Biden and Obama say that Obama wants to return the top tax rate to the REAGAN yeras, which was 28%. He says one thing to one group, another thing to another group. He initially said that he wanted to give a tax cut to 95% of Americans, and increase federal income taxes for those making over $250,000 a year. But when this was exposed as being a lie - since over 40% of Americans... http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-bloggers/2096886/posts#comment Fri, 3 Oct 2008 19:41:16 GMT http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-bloggers/2096765/posts Check it out and let me know of any suggestions you might have.

The single main reason I'm glad it failed is that Bush, Paulson, Benanke, et.al. pushed so hard to get it passed. Did we not learn our lesson after 9-11. Remember how much Bush wanted the Patriot Act passed? What kind of awful stuff did we find out later was in it? What is the chance this $700 billion bailout deal has some bad stuff in it?

This Act requires that banks offer credit (home loans, etc) to minorities and the "underpriveleged." Democrats have used code-words to bolster this ACT, saying that it has provided home ownership opportunities to minorities, needy Americans and the "underprivileged." Changes in 1995 allowed groups like ACORN to put pressure on banks to give home loans to unqualified home loan applicants.
