Maxine Waters' Leaky Argument Can't Wash Away Banking Scandal Dirt Banks pushed risky loans to people who could not afford them. Homeownership was promoted as a right for all instead of one for those who saved. Since the mortgage bubble burst, leaving many in financial trouble, a lot of anger has been directed at banks and the bankers involved. Lawmakers are worked up in a lather, but this should not remove them from scrutiny. In the case of Congresswoman Maxine Waters (D-CA), criticism of her involvement in one aspect of this crisis is extremely justified. Yet she is playing the...

The Bush Administration is commended for announcing that it would veto any legislation reinstating the so-called "Fairness Doctrine." The Administration's announcement came following media reports of support for reimposing the Fairness Doctrine by Senators Dianne Feinstein, Dick Durbin, Barbara Boxer, Hillary Clinton, and others.

Black Voter Suppression Blamed for Weak Katrina Response By Marc Morano CNSNews.com Senior Staff Writer September 29, 2005 Washington (CNSNews.com) - The Bush administration's slow response to Hurricane Katrina may be the result of minority votes being suppressed and Democratic candidates losing the last two presidential elections, a member of the Congressional Black Caucus has alleged.
