this is how it's going to be...
sane people would pay attention to what Jerome Corsi has to say because only the insane will cast a vote for Obama. Obama is a very very bad man.
Hopefully his only claim to fame will be ''Barack Beer''.
Well, since the economy is in the tank ....
... and the wars still have no end in sight
(Afghanistan getting worse ... Iraq leveling out a bit - but certainly not good yet, since you still can't get a safe ride to the airport ... Al Qaeda still growing in power around the world ... Pakistan becoming more and more a problem ... Iran getting more closer to real nukes, etc etc etc ... many, many international problems) ...
And with the news that OVER 750,000 jobs have been lost in the US this year alone ... and it's only October ... still lots of time to lose more.
You republican guys want to talk about these things instead? Fears and rumors of fears?
I'm trying to say ... we have REAL problems that we should be talking about.
But no ... the republican fools above would rather talk about rumors written by a guy with a right wing agenda ( oh and you like talking about lipstick too).
Why? ... Because it's feeds the fears in their little minds.
Hey guys ... switch to water for a day ... get back to real issues ... the republican kool-aid has you forgetting about the very real problems in front of your face.
They play you like a cheap fiddle.
the only thing sp4 knows is John McCain predicted Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac crises. this my dear asshole is getting old as you are getting more stupid. or did you put on your famous tinfoil hat today.
'the only thing sp4 knows is John McCain predicted Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac crises. '
You forgot to mention that Obama and the democrats helped bring it about. Obama took more money from Freddie and fannie than any other senator in such a short period of time. The only reason Chris Dodd was able to wring out more is because he was in the senate over 10 years. Here:
All Recipients of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac Campaign Contributions, 1989-2008
Name, Office, State, Party, Grand Total, Total from PACs, Total from Individuals
Dodd, Christopher J S CT D $165,400 $48,500 $116,900
Obama, Barack S IL D $126,349 $6,000 $120,349
Obama was the number 1 recipient of money from the failed countrywide mortgage lender.
This entire bailout/Crisis was caused by Freddie and fanny deliberately buying loans that were marginal from banks that deliberately loaned to people who were not qualified to borrow. Jim Johnson and Franklin Raines were CEOs of Freddie and Fannie and both walked away from the mess they made with tens of millions in undeserved bonuses and BOTH are not only contributers to Obama but both are key political and economic advisers to him and his campaign. Jim Johnson oversaw the Obama vice presidential search committee.
Penny Pritzker is Obamas campaign finance chairman, she made millions in the sub-prime crisis. Add Jamie Gorelick who is one of the Fannie executives who benefited from inflated bonuses based on Enron-style accounting and another Obama adviser and you pretty much have most of the major people involved in buying off politicians in order to limit Fannie/Freddies accountability giving money and advice to Obama.
Barack Obama is continuing a long history of helping other people steal from the tax payer in exchange for financial contributions and power. He did it with tony Rezko in Chicago who stole millions from the taxpayers took care of him well.. Now he is doing it with the CEOs of these failed banks who have bought and paid for him with OUR money in order to stop the regulatory bodies from stopping them from stealing.
Old men look backward and go over and over the past - young men look forward and try to improve the situation at hand. Mistakes have been made all the way around, but dwelling on them and pointing fingers isn't going to solve anything. Learn from mistakes, whoever made them, and try to do better. If you're a Republican, any thing related to Obama is wrong, if you're a Democrat, the same goes for McCain - boooring! Independents are the ones who usually weigh the issues and make a better decision.
You do know who Phil Gramm is don'tchya SP4?
He's the author of the deregulation Bill in the late 90's that paved the way for this current economic mess ... (oh, I know ... Rush Limbaugh didn't teach you about him, did he?)
How 'bout you google his name ... you'll learn bunches.
Or do you wanna keep talking about rumors of international espionage and assassination plots created in the twisted mind right wing nut-job, as if it's fact?
Yeah, that'll make you look smart ... Ha.
... you know SP4 ... if you only count on one biased source for your information (limbaugh) ... you end up not knowing the full story ... and making yourself look like a fool .... as you so often show us.
'He's the author of the deregulation Bill in the late 90's that paved the way for this current economic mess ... (oh, I know ... Rush Limbaugh didn't teach you about him, did he?)'
No, he is not. Regulation was fought by the likes of Chris Dodd, Barney Frank and Barack Hussein Obama. Here, take a look:

Obama was the second highest recipient of kickbacks from Freddie and Fannie in the shortest amount of time. Jim Johnson, Franklin Raines, Jamie Gorelick and Penny Pritzker; all thieves who gt millions out of creating this mess all work for and support Barack Obama. Barack Obama is just trying to do on a national scale what he did in Chicago: Help his cronies steal.
'Old men look backward and go over and over the past - young men look forward and try to improve the situation at hand. '
You can't fix the problem without knowing how we created the problem.
'Mistakes have been made all the way around, but dwelling on them and pointing fingers isn't going to solve anything.'
No, mistakes are one thing, these are politicians helping their cronies steal from the tax payer and letting the system collapse because of it.
Obama did this in Chicago with Tony Rezko at the cost of millions, he (Along with Frank, Dodd, etc) is doing it again at the federal level the cost of billions.
'Phil Gramm is/was also McCains economic advisor[sic]'
He was. Jim Johnson, Franklin Raines, Jamie Gorelick and Penny Pritzker ALL advised Obama and they ALL stole millions.
'Do you fools really think that this economic mess was created within the last 2 yrs by a mere freshman senator?'
He is of the corrupt pack of traitors that the CEO's of Freddie bought in order to stop regulation and enable them to keep stealing.
'Obama wasn't even in the Senate when this mess was started. Or ANY elected position for that matter.'
Yet he got the second highest amount of graft from Freddie and Fannie, in the shortest amount of time. Yet he is in bed with all their old CEO's. Yet he got the MOST from countrywide.
'It was deregulation that John McCain supported'
That is an outright, provable lie. McCain Proposed regulation for freddie and Fannie. Here:
he following statement was made by John McCain on the floor of the Senate on May 25, 2005.
Mr. McCAIN. Mr. President, this week Fannie Mae’s regulator reported that the company’s quarterly reports of profit growth over the past few years were “illusions deliberately and systematically created” by the company’s senior management, which resulted in a $10.6 billion accounting scandal.
The Office of Federal Housing Enterprise Oversight’s report goes on to say that Fannie Mae employees deliberately and intentionally manipulated financial reports to hit earnings targets in order to trigger bonuses for senior executives. In the case of Franklin Raines, Fannie Mae’s former chief executive officer, OFHEO’s report shows that over half of Mr. Raines’ compensation for the 6 years through 2003 was directly tied to meeting earnings targets. The report of financial misconduct at Fannie Mae echoes the deeply troubling $5 billion profit restatement at Freddie Mac.
The OFHEO report also states that Fannie Mae used its political power to lobby Congress in an effort to interfere with the regulator’s examination of the company’s accounting problems. This report comes some weeks after Freddie Mac paid a record $3.8 million fine in a settlement with the Federal Election Commission and restated lobbying disclosure reports from 2004 to 2005. These are entities that have demonstrated over and over again that they are deeply in need of reform.
For years I have been concerned about the regulatory structure that governs Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac–known as Government-sponsored entities or GSEs–and the sheer magnitude of these companies and the role they play in the housing market. OFHEO’s report this week does nothing to ease these concerns. In fact, the report does quite the contrary. OFHEO’s report solidifies my view that the GSEs need to be reformed without delay.
I join as a cosponsor of the Federal Housing Enterprise Regulatory Reform Act of 2005, S. 190, to underscore my support for quick passage of GSE regulatory reform legislation. If Congress does not act, American taxpayers will continue to be exposed to the enormous risk that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac pose to the housing market, the overall financial system, and the economy as a whole.
I urge my colleagues to support swift action on this GSE reform legislation.
THE DEMOCRATS KILLED The Federal Housing Enterprise Regulatory Reform Act that McCain proposed. It would have prevented this.
and you are a certifiable idiot. YOU SAY:''THE DEMOCRATS KILLED The Federal Housing Enterprise Regulatory Reform Act that McCain proposed. It would have prevented this.'
The Repubs had a majoriy. They defeated it themselves. Got any more crap from the Republican backroom dirty tricks/lies bureau(AKA the toilet)?
' It would have prevented this.'
The Repubs had a majoriy.'
Your ignorance of the process is matched by your ignorance of everything else... The bill was killed in the Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs which was run by the democrats, notably Chris Dodd who received just a little bit more money from Freddie Mac then obama did. Of course it took Dodd 8 more years to accumulate it...
None of your pathetic Phil Gramm hallucinations, which who(?) signed into law, or anything else negates the fact that the CURRENT democrats in Congress were warned at a time when all this could have been avoided, under rules they had at their disposal in the banking committees, and that they knew this, but went ahead anyway.
None of this negates the fact that Obama, promptly, upon entrance to the senate, immediately went to the public housing trough and fed next to Barney Frank and Chris Dodd.
You're going to have to face the fact that the dems were warned by the President and the GOP candidate for the last 5 years and, like everything else, thumbed their noses at them.
... how dumb they are.
McCain DID campaign for deregulation ... here's a 1999 quote from him ... ''There's a number of reasons why we are experiencing this almost unprecedented prosperity. Among them are a lack of regulation, free trade, and most importantly, we are going through a revolution the likes of which the world has seldom seen.'
Phil Gramm DID author banking and mortgage deregulation in 1999 ... and successfully got it through congress. (no matter how much you stomp your feet and say no, the truth is he did)
In October 1999, Senate Republicans led by Phil Gramm were deep in negotiations on key legislation to deregulate the banking industry.
They got it passed under a republican controlled congress.
Also, McCain presidential campaign manager Rick Davis has financial DEEP ties to Fannie and Freddie too ... Rick Davis headed Fannie Mae lobby and said people wanted 'into houses cheap.'
Not long ago Rick Davis was making more than $30,000 a month doing work in Washington for them (still part owner of a company that CONTINUES to work for fannie and freddie) ... overall Rick Davis made more than $2 million doing work in DC for Fannie and Freddie.
McCain is also one of the 350+ members of congress to get fannie and freddie donations. (google it)
You think your guy McCain and his campaign is clean?
Not even close.
Don't be so self-righteous in your smear attempts ... it reveals you as a blatant hypocrite.
and you are an inbred, bain dead pig f*cker, just like your inbred, brain dead daddy and grand daddy.
Phil Gramm DID author banking and mortgage deregulation in 1999 ... and successfully got it through congress. (no matter how much you stomp your feet and say no, the truth is he did)
sp4 - now, go see who signed it into law. I'll give you a hint:
White water
FBI records scandal
chinese and russian campaign funds scandal
MFN for China for campaign funds
Vince Foster
Travel Office scandal
Lying to a federal judge
Pardons of Puerto Rican terrorists
employment of domestic terrorists in the justice dept.
firing a fed prosecutor investigating whitewater
Any guesses on who might have signed such a bill?
Get back to us on that...
SP 4 doing the Republican't shuck and jive and misdirection. He's doing the big O in GOP(Graft, Obfuscation, Perfidy. You are so perdictable, SP. You are so boring.
you guys KNOW nothing about your candidate.
He blames the Dems for Iraq ... (no s**t, he really does)
Instead of blaming the guys who told the lies (Bush Cheney) ... SP4 blames the fools who believed them (dems).
So now in this economic mess ... SP4 does it again.
He absolves the guys who actually pushed for the banking deregulation ... McCain and Gramm.
And blames someone else for it.
Where's your principles of 'personal responsibility' today SP4?
Oh that's right ...You walked away from your principles along time ago.
