Rush said that it wasn’t true. His staff looked into it and Kanjorski recanted what he said and they deemed it to be false. What was up with that?

As I no longer listen to Rush, I had not heard this bit of info. What's up with it? They were told to STHU about it as well as the eligibility issue...IMHO.

I believe Kanjorski

As do I ... his original C-Span statments that is.

YW. My reading of the poster at PJM was yes, they were referring to the 9-08 run. No, I am not aware of additional runs from 11/08-1/09, but that does not mean there were none.

I have to run out for a bit, but will do some checking when I get back.

Both the first WTC attack in 93 and the 9/11 attack were attacks against the economy.

Yep, I agree.

I remember reading at the time that the International Monetary Fund had their computers hacked. The news reporting was that “no significant damage” was done. I always wondered if there was a connection between that and the financial crisis.

Democrats were WARNED of Financial crisis and did NOTHING (Fannie/Freddie)

Now when I look back to late 08, I see a lot of interesting things:

September 7, 2008

McCain Moves Ahead 48-45

http://www.gallup.com/poll/110050/gallup-daily-mccain-moves-ahead-48-45.aspx

To this very day, I feel there is something strange about the Paulsen advice to Bush to do the first bailout. Paulsen is a Goldman Sachs guy and so is Schumer. (They are both Democrats) Remember Schumer caused a run on IndyMac late June of 08.

IndyMac: Mini Bank Run, Thanks to Schumer (late June of 2008)

http://www.housingwire.com/2008/07/01/indymac-mini-bank-run-thanks-to-schumer/

I see Goldman Sachs made out like a bandit in the outcome of all of this. I do not know for sure, but I look backward and forward to now and it all makes me wonder. I just did a Google search and found this:

http://www.thedeal.com/dealscape/2008/09/goldman_eyeing_assets_of_small.php

Is Goldman eyeing failed IndyMac?

Per Rep Paul Kanjorski, Democrat, Pennsylvania:

On Thursday Sept 15, 2008 at roughly 11 AM The Federal Reserve noticed a tremendous draw down of money market accounts in the USA to the tune of $550 Billion dollars in a matter of an hour or two. Money was being removed electronically.

Published September 23, 2008 at 2:26 PM
With Goldman Sachs Group Inc. converting itself to a bank holding company to strengthen its future, the New York-based financial institution is said to be on the prowl for deposits, but not necessarily an entire bank. Such speculation has led some in the media to ask whether Goldman could be looking to acquire the assets of failed IndyMac Federal Bank, which has fallen under the control of the FDIC.

Chiming in a bit late, but... I agree with the Soros theory, too much, too fast, too powerful. Isn’t that about the time when McCain suspended his campaign, came running back to DC and at the same time Obama went to HI? (to see Grandma suppossedly?) Everything stinks with these people. Sure glad they aren’t *my people*!
