I’d love for her to run. She is famous for being stupid and cutting her and her party’s throat. She has said or done:
This liberal would be about socializing uh, umm. Would be about, basically, taking over, and the government running all of your companies.
After the health care bill was signed in April 2010, Waters denounced flag-waving at a Tea Party rally.
As a senior member of the House Financial Services Committee, Waters played a key role in allowing Fannie Mae and Freddie Macs reckless actions that led to the housing meltdown. Here is Waters, at a 2004 congressional hearing, (and yes, that is the same Frank Raines that vastly overstated Fannie Maes earnings in order to receive $90 million in bonuses). We do not have a crisis at Freddie Mac, and particularly Fannie Mae, under the outstanding leadership of Frank Raines.
Policy, for the most part, has been made by white people in America, not by people of color. And they have tended to take care of those things that they think are important. Whether its their agricultural subsidies, or other kinds of expenditures that are certainly not expenditures for poor people or for people of color. And so we have to band together and keep fighting back.
With the financial crisis looming, Waters was mostly worried about a bank that her husband had a financial stake in. Here, she admits that she contacted the Treasury Department on behalf of OneUnited Bank officials, actions which prompted a congressional ethics probe: I followed up on the associations request by asking Treasury Secretary Paulson to schedule such a meeting.
She is a political suicide en-route.
