It is widely known that the idea of universal home ownership is democratic. i.e. Everyone has the right to own a home. This idea was pushed through under Clinton and under democratically influnced Fannie and Freddie. The mandates were changed-these mortgage entities were forced to give loans to people that couldn’t pay back the money. Listen to Barney Frank, what an idiot. But, we did such a great thing by letting people who couldn’t afford it own their own houses, even if they couldn’t afford it. The banks do what they do best, make money by selling the most profitable products, albeit bad ones. Only a democrat would mandate that unqualified persons receive loans and not worry about what kind of loans they were getting. You have to earn a home, Vern. By the way, pretty cute to get your buddy’s back like that. I was going to tell you a little something about myself. I am married with two kids. My wife and I work very hard for our home and our family. Our children mean the world to us Vern. The small amount of time I can spend with my family is the best time in my week. I am curious about your life Vern. By the way, I just heard that 20% of the 700 billion dollar bailout will go to ACORN, a left wing voter registration group.

By the way, “these” is plural and you mentioned one (singular) Rick Davis.

“These,” weez, no doubt refers not just Rick Davis, or uber-lobbyist Steve Schmidt, or Georgia lobbyist Randy Scheuneman who dictated McCain’s saber-rattling last month, or the 80-something other lobbyists running McCain’s “reform” campaign, but also maybe to the guy he recently picked to lead his “transition team,” WIlliam Timmons, who earned 1/4 million lobbying for the deregulation of Freddie Mac as recently as THIS DAMN MONTH.

See for yourself http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601070&sid=aQIOOr9klOnE&refer=politics

So yes, “THESE,” weez.

(My pleasure, hackett. Love your comments here and elsewhere.)

Hey Hack, do you really want to go there with Fannie and Freddie? This election is about ideaology: I don’t want the government sticking its nose where it doesn’t belong. By the way, “these” is plural and you mentioned one (singular) Rick Davis.

I like it when folks like weez play guilt by association.

Here’s one for you. McCain’s longtime campaign manager Rick Davis made $2 million heading up a lobbying effort for … Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.

I would like to ask you how you can vote for someone who has associated with people like these.

Obama also worked closely with Billy Ayers and a group called ACORN. That is not the kind of experience I want the President of the US to have. Maybe you guys should look these items up. Then, I would like to ask you how you can vote for someone who has associated with people like these.

Don’t you think that experience should be an issue?

You’ll have to ask McCain that question about why he chose someone with none.

Obama has plenty of experience – he taught Constitutional Law for 12 years, served in the Illinois senate for 8 years, and has been a US Senator for 4 years. And he chose a running mate who adds immensely to his foreign policy cred, not some callow ignorant religious freak who happens to be a cute female. I sure don’t mind experience being an issue in this election.

Damon gave you nothing but left wing propaganda. How can you challenge Palin’s experience and remain mum on Obama’s?

Because it was the McCain campaign that made experience an issue.
