All he wanted was your telephone number and address so he could call and get a donation. Mission accomplished, they knew they couldn’t fill the stadium. Wake up people, you have been had again.

“I hope by next year we’ll have abolished Fannie and Freddie. It was a great mistake to push lower-income people into housing they couldn’t afford and couldn’t really handle once they had it. I had been too sanguine about Fannie and Freddie.” – Democrat Barney Frank, CNBC Interview, 2010

Democrats were overwhelmingly the biggest proponents of minority home ownership, which means you supported Bush’s approach.

And after Bill Clinton’s 50-minute evisceration of the Romney-Ryan ticket…. I can totally understand why the GOP is wailing and gnashing their teeth.

Most candidates backed by Clinton in the past ultimately lost.

I’m for North Carolina and I thought from the first day I heard it was going to be in the BOA Stadium that it was a bad idea because it always rains on August afternoons. And yes it is raining now!

I think the rain would have been okay – it’s the threat of lightning strikes that is the game changer.

In terms of Nielsen ratings…. the Dems have been crushing the Republicans.
After the insular, paranoid GOP convention….. the Democrats have cut quite a contrast. _________ YOu know, I stomached BITS of the RNC and their meany nastiness was just too much to take! They came off as fake, phony, mean and intolerant! Mrs. Romney talking about women being “wives, mothers, sisters, nieces,” etc., only regulated women to roles of SUPPORT for men! She never spoke about women in the workplace, because she doesn’t know an IOTA about that! Stepford wife for a clueless richy-rich guy. Match made in Republican-Land!

Bush warned congress of the problems facing Freddie and Fanny. Dodds and Franks claimed all was well while they covered up their paybacks.

You’re very ignorant of the facts. Read about the bill by Republican Mike Oxley that was torpedoed by the Republican senate and Bush – Republicans fought with each other and stopped passage of the bill that would have reformed F&F.

Rep. Frank continued to promote federal investments in rental housing over unaffordable home ownership.

“In fact, Rep. Barney Frank (D., Mass.) is the only politician I know who has argued that we needed tighter rules that intentionally produce fewer homeowners and more renters,” former Bush economics adviser Lawrence Lindsey wrote in 2008. “Politicians usually believe that homeownership rates should – must – go ever higher.”
