The candidate running for Representative in my district [VA 5th] is gaining steam and is close to beating my conservative Rep by using ads that state that the fault was Bush and "his gang" (including McCain) in Congress that "didn't regulate Wall Street and the greedy bankers"

This lie appears to work on the stupid electorate. I'm wondering how well the Obama ads that claim "McCain will tax the old folks social security and take away their Medicare" that I hearrd this morning?

Lies seem to work...especially when the MSM promote them.

It's true to a certain extent. But who runs Wall St? I say anarchist Democrats run the large firms. Derivatives and credit default swaps are anarchy. Wall St contributions to Hillary Clinton were sky high

Sure lies work and they'll never pin the blame for Fannie Mae on the Democrats. This economic disaster has many of its causes in Fannie Mae

Lies seem to work...especially when the MSM promote them.

My take is Democrats are 70% responsible for this crisis.
