HOUSE REPUBLICANS PUT UP HISTORIC FIGHT!

[sluggish]

“Gentlemen, I have had men watching you for a long time, and I am convinced that you have used the funds of the bank to speculate in the breadstuffs of the country. When you won, you divided the profits amongst you, and when you lost, you charged it to the bank. You tell me that if I take the deposits from the bank and annul its charter, I shall ruin ten thousand families. That may be true, gentlemen, but that is your sin! Should I let you go on, you will ruin fifty thousand families, and that would be my sin! You are a den of vipers and thieves. I intend to rout you out, and by the eternal God, I will rout you out.”

Andrew Jackson

[DREDIOCK]

Well, I'm sure you'll note that Pelosi couldn't resist getting one last shot in at Evil Boosh before the vote. Pissed off enough Republicans that it failed, at least that's what the talking heads are saying right now. WTG Pelosi eh?

Pelosi isnt just a liar. she's a damned liar.

The " moron" Bush. Introduced a bill for oversight of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac back in  Sept of 2003.
Sept 11, 2003 to be exact

The bill was defeated by house Democrats.

Andrew Jackson

Thing was with Jackson. Everyone knew he had the stones to do exactly what he said.
He wasnt one to make idle threats just for the sake of sounding good and hearing himself talk.

Problem is. I currently know of no politician who has the kind of stones Jackson had

New York Times article on that very subject.

"Published: September 11, 2003

The Bush administration today recommended the most significant regulatory overhaul in the housing finance industry since the savings and loan crisis a decade ago."

And the rest of the rest of the story (from the same article--

''These two entities -- Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac -- are not facing any kind of financial crisis,'' said Representative Barney Frank of Massachusetts, the ranking Democrat on the Financial Services Committee. ''The more people exaggerate these problems, the more pressure there is on these companies, the less we will see in terms of affordable housing.''

Representative Melvin L. Watt, Democrat of North Carolina, agreed.

''I don't see much other than a shell game going on here, moving something from one agency to another and in the process weakening the bargaining power of poorer families and their ability to get affordable housing,'' Mr. Watt said.

Your prolly right Dred.....just found it a great quote for the current situation we the people find ourselves in. Something we don't or didn't anyway  , have control of. Im very ticked that so many people are sitting on tons of money made now at our expense. Something seems very wrong that they will keep all they have....while many wont keep chit.

[DREDIOCK]

And the rest of the rest of the story (from the same article--

Right.
and Pelosi claims it was all due to current administration policy.

Think she needs to worry about cleaning her own house before she tries to point at how dirty someone elses is
