I am convinced that there are enough Repubs involved in this mess that BOTH parties want to sweep this white elephant under the carpet.
Sarah and Herman Cain are the only ones I trust.
I am with you. They are both "outsiders" to Washington.
There is a game changer for the GOP, Sarah Palin, else it is more of the same. Congress is corrupt to the core. Connie Mac was on last night, couldn’t bring himself to call for Weiner to resign, more comity cr@p.
I don’t understand this ‘gamechanger’ talk. We already know about the complicity of Barney Frank, et al, in the shenanigans of Fannie Mae. We already know about the cozy relationship between the Democratic Party, ACORN, George Soros, La Raza, the public labor unions, etc.
None of this information is new. The real problem (or ‘root cause’ as the libs like to say) is in our institutions: the public school system, the colleges and universities, and the MSM. They work incessantly to fill people’s heads with mush, creating new generations of lib zombies.
No one book is going to change that. It is a much deeper problem and it is going to take a generation or more to fix it.
Yes, but this one involves the whole reason we are in all the other messes....including Obama getting elected.
If the economy hadn't crashed (explained in this article as caused by Democrats) then Obama wouldn't have gotten elected? Why? Because ALL Democrats everywhere blamed everything on Bush and that's how they got the Chicago Charlatan elected.
James Johnson on Obama's transition team? Right...he's the one who crashed the economy in the first place. He straddled BOTH Fannie AND Wall Street.
If this story is explained clearly it will cause a civil war in the Dem party. Interesting that it's a Democrat in this article who is explaining that.
Depends on how simply the book is written.
If it is clear and irrefutable and is marketed correctly, one book can do a whole lot of damage.
BFL
here’s the thing and my big beef- James Johnson should’ve been a major issue in 2008 election cycle and the GOP should scream about it everytime zer0 brings up “wall street, etc”- it was/is barely touched upon...
Confusion reigned. "Bush's fault" and "No TARP!" were the resounding choruses even among conservatives who should have known better.
If this book lays things out correctly it could indeed be a game-changer. However, I have had high hopes before that were dashed so I will have a wait-and-see attitude instead.
>>The GOP would have gotten shouted down, even by many conservatives who were demogogued by Dems who incessantly shouted “It’s all the banks’ fault”.<<<
ta-da!!! there’s my greater point- they (GOP) fight like little girls....who cares if they were shouted down if they had a valid point and the principles to stand by it??? was the Tea Party embraced or shouted down at just about every possible corner??? i’m glad you think they’ll take up this sword and use it this time around cause i sure as hell don’t.....
The Obama, Pelosi, Weiner Democrats......
I heard many people on the GOP side try to talk about FNM, the CRA. Yes, you may not CARE that they were shouted down but that's inconsequential; the fact is that they WERE.
Louder screaming would never have worked because as I said confusion reigned and people didn't really want to hear truth...they just wanted to vent. Even many conservatives believed Democrat lies of class warfare.
Some people think that shouting is the answer. Not so. Sometimes revenge IS a dish best served cold. And logical cases such as the one this book may present have won many wars where loud shouting could not.
They have to be brief and a lot more entertaining with the voters to be able to get the issue understood by them IMO.
Riot at the donut shop. Just to look rich and make a little happy pill buck, they would destroy country, nay, entire civilizational works. Your average “I just do my job and I am not paid to think” type bureaucrate at work.
If anyone in Congress is an expert on Weiner waivers...
It is hysterically funny to think that a book will have any impact on an electorate ignorant and stupid enough to vote Urkel for more than dogcatcher. Probably half have never read a single serious book and that includes the Bible.
And be able to connect a complicated chain of events is waaay beyond the voters. They only understand suffering in which Urkel is giving them a crash course.
Today one cannot speak on any subject for more than a couple of minutes before eyes glaze over. While conservatives are better than most they are not as knowledgeable as they should be particularly in economic and financial matters.
What matters more than explaining the story is to go on the attack and never relent. Attack the lying media and the lying RATS and never back down. Make the enemy defend and we have a chance.
Winston was totally correct. Look what the dumb asses did to him AFTER WINNING THE WAR they voted him out of office. His remark should have the phrase “...on ANY subject.” added to it.
But, but we already knew this stuff.
But, but we didn't get the word out. Think of all the people who associate the GOP with Wall Street bankers. A movie about all this fraud would help, IMHO. Youtube segments?
Made for TV movie released September 2012.
