You must be talking about McCain and the Savings and Loan disaster. There are definitely some similarities.

Kevin   October 15th, 2008 - 12:55 pm

It tests so well because it speaks the TRUTH!

Homer   October 15th, 2008 - 1:00 pm

Didn’t McCain promise not to go negative? Didn’t McCain himself say that if you go negative “its because you don’t have anything to offer”?

Why, yes he did. So much for being a man of principle.

By the way, John Sidney McCain III has 177 registered lobbyists working in his campaign and 83 of them lobbied for the same financial institutions that he blames for the crisis.

finally, the truth comes out…will any of the undecided nimrods hear it or understand it? we can only hope

Mike D   October 15th, 2008 - 1:04 pm

Take ONE thing out of the Finacial Crisis timeline (1981 – 2008) and it all goes away…..

FANNIE MAE/FREDDIE MAC

Democrates created the problem and blame the Republicans for not stopping it!!!!!

It IS that simple!!!!!

…..and just whom are we supposed to be voting for now again?

The last couple days now I’ve been going out and picking fights with liberals.
I’ve won two out of three, and not arrested yet.

VD   October 15th, 2008 - 1:21 pm

claspur – What a tough guy. Your the winner :)

dswilli   October 15th, 2008 - 1:32 pm

Don’t think you want to go down the road of past associations Homer. BHO has kept company with some of the most unsavory @sses in the world.

ozymandias888   October 15th, 2008 - 1:32 pm

Homer,

you try to sling mud at McCain – this doesn’t exonerate your guy (which I noticed you did not try to do).

Your guy was at the center of this sub-prime time bomb from the beginning, along with those vote cheaters at ACORN – they have a symbiotic relationship. One of Dear Leader’s top people – Herb Moses – was also a top guy at Fannie Mae AND Barney Frank’s lover, and somehow Barney did not come down on Fannie Mae as recently as two months ago. Hmmm.

El Capitan   October 15th, 2008 - 1:43 pm

Could we please FIRE EVERYBODY running the GOP and hire the folks from Let Freedom Ring? If McCain used that approach he would have a 10 point lead in the polls right now. But noooooo, primary voters thought McCain was the best candidate for some reason. Now we have to suffer with a lame candidate that won’t criticize the most flawed Democrat in history.

Franc   October 15th, 2008 - 1:59 pm

Obama is a slime connected to the criminal scum at ACORM. He was a lawyer for ACORN and his CRA lawsuits for ACORN forced banks to loan money to people who could not pay it back. This is why were are in the mess we are in. 5 million bad mortgages to illegal aliens alone thanks to Obama.

dswilli   October 15th, 2008 - 2:30 pm

Whatever you say Mary Pat. Just don’t get too excited, the masses of @sses who will vote for your commie won’t be blind forever. As an added bonus Republicans won’t be held hostage by the president. So be smug now, it won’t last.

Jeff   October 15th, 2008 - 2:32 pm

McCain wouldn’t have to go negative if the mainstream media actually did the job the public expects of them and did some investigative journalism of their own to expose these issues. However, as we all know, it is not in the best interests of the MSM to do this because they back Obama.

if   October 15th, 2008 - 2:32 pm

What mud slinging? The add states actual FACT. Liberal democrats that have lost money should be furious at obama dodd and kerry, not defend their poor judgement. Liberalisim is a mental illness.

Jill   October 15th, 2008 - 2:33 pm

One thing is for sure: McCain better put his gentlemanly side to rest for this last debate, and come out swinging with facts like these in his own defense, or his campaign is toast and Obama will be the President of the United States for four to eight years. He’ll make Bill Clinton’s administration look conservative!

Video Mst.   October 15th, 2008 - 2:36 pm

This no where near the best yet to come.Those of you voting early might want to wait.Remember barry saying he never heard or was present when the good rev. did some of his hate-whitey,hate-America rants from the pulpit??Well,the new video release wall calendar has been updated.Nov. 2nd is the “Day of the Dead”also when daylight savings time ends.What better day for the national(worldwide)release of the video that tells it all and clears up once and for all the story of barry and jerry and hate-filled rants.Good ole barry,michele and kids in tow, standing,cheering and raising their fists in complete agreement with the one of the revs hate-America rants.The mike was so close it even sounds like the messiah himself laughing and cheering over it all.It will remind every American of the 911 videos of the haters in the arab world cheering when the towers came down.Nov. 3rd,I’m guessing the new polls will not even register that there is a dem candidate on the ballot.Hillary was right…should of listened.It’s going to be the best video of the new millennium,emmy material if I say so myself.

Yoda   October 15th, 2008 - 2:40 pm

Not quite sure why you’re so excited to see America achieve third world status Dr. Mary Pat Jordan. Your children live here too, you seem to think this is going to be some sort of left wing Utopia. Some doctor you are, can’t even understand basic economics. You can not raise taxes during a recession. If you do you’re going to kill off any chances for a recovery. Welcome to Jimmy Carter II. It’s cool though just like under Carter, once his economy killing agenda gets enacted EVERYONE will turn on him. Even liberals at some point will see that Obama is turning their country to crap.

Solaison   October 15th, 2008 - 2:43 pm

Henry (THE LIAR) Paulson told Americans that the ROOT CAUSE of all these financial problems was due to the real estate market and that he was going to FIX THE ROOT CAUSE PROBLEM FIRST, HE LIED!

The first thing the LIAR did was:

1. FORCE a $700 Billion dollar BAIL OUT package down Americans throats.

2. BAIL OUT the Largest American Banks with another BAIL OUT package at the American Taxpayers Expense.

3. We are STILL WAITING for the LIAR to address the ROOT CAUSE (Real Estate Market)

4. Well Henry, what do you say to the American people now, you LIAR?

Americans, REVOLT BIGTIME! Take all your money out of the American Banks and put it into a safe and tell Henry Paulson and the other High and Mighty LIAR and THIEVES of Wallstreet and Congress to got to hell!!

Eileen   October 15th, 2008 - 3:01 pm

Thank you to the group that put this truth out there! We need more of them.

I find so many people who don’t know what is going one…they just aren’t paying attention and are believing these lying sound bites from the “Messiah of Islam” campaign.

We need to get the word out…the Speaker of the failed Democratic House – Marie Antoinette – Pelosi and her cronies of Reid, Frank, Schumer and Dodd are responsible for not heeding the warnings that were given to them for years. It is a matter of public record. There are public records…America…look them up yourselves.

In addition, the reason Barney Frank didn’t want to rock the boat, he had a lover at Fannie Mae and all of them had their hands in the cookie jar of Fannie Mae!

America…the only “all American” candidate for the Presidency is the one I cast my vote for this week, President Elect McCain and Vice President Elect Palin. They will bring honor and integrity into the White House and friends that are loyal to our government not friends that want to bring our government down like the friends of the “Messiah of Islam”!

VOTER REVOLUTION HERE AND NOW!

fsweep   October 15th, 2008 - 3:21 pm

McCain and the Republicans must be exceptionally pathetic to be pummeled in the polls— by an African-American. Wake up Republicans. People want change. There is more to a campaign than god, guns, and gays.

Home ownership is evil. Obama will teach us that they way of the commune is the best for our planet and our society. We must all share and make sure all outcomes are equal. This will remove stress, greed, hate and poverty. Marx was right. But Marxism needed Obama to make it work. Our time has come. Our leader has arrived to care for the people. Peace begins in January 2009!

Viva Obama!

gS MAX   October 15th, 2008 - 3:43 pm

Homer,

All campaigns go negative. They always have and always will. Let me explain why:

Power is at stake. These parties want to consolidate power for themselves, and are concerned about the other party’s success because they disagree with the opposition’s thinking and are worried it would be bad for the country. Naturally, they trust themselves. A lot is at stake, therefor. And ‘negative’ accusations work to undermine the character of the opponent. Also, often there is much truth to the ‘negative’ comments, as in this case. Should they simply not bring up anything that might be a mark against their opponent, that might expose that person as not being as truthful as they pretend to be? And why shouldn’t they?

No, campaigns always go negative and always will. It is silly to think that they should not. McCain did not want to go negative and neither did Obama. But the real world is what it is, and so we get to this point. McCain has seen that he cannot rely on the media to do its job and point out the history and track record of Obama, so he must do the work himself— even though it is obvious that he doesn’t like doing so. Trust me, he could have gone at this much more aggressively. If it were Bush and Rove against Obama, they would have torn him a new a$$ by now. McCain has wanted to win based on charm and policy, and that hasn’t done well for him so far.

Also— note that this ad was not from the McCain campaign. That is something important that you appear to have missed. And furthermore, note that Obama has not refrained from going negative, either.

In closing, please don’t be so naive.

Fauxbama   October 15th, 2008 - 3:45 pm

Senator ObaHamas has been endorsed by all of our enemies, such as the terrorist groups hamas, hezbollah, and islamic jihad. They all love this guy. Why? Doctor, this is no “neocon plot.” No, our enemies want ObaHamas elected.

Castro wants ObaHamas to win, and la camisa roja, Hugo Chavez, has also endorsed the good Doctor’s messiah.

Tell me Doc, why do our enemies want the guy with the flimsy credentials and slim resume elected?

BTW, Putin endorse fauxbama yesterday…..you know why…because Putin knows he can beat fauxbama like a drum.

yeah right   October 15th, 2008 - 3:54 pm

oh boy… 5 hours until the last and final debate. I’m heading to a pub to have some beer and enjoy watching the STOMPING with a raucous crowd. After that I’m heading to a Barack-and-Roll fund raising party. What an awesome election season we’re having.

GO BARACK!!!

Barack will dust off this ad just like a little dirt off the shoulder.

BLT   October 15th, 2008 - 3:55 pm

These Dems are all powerful! In almost two years of being in control of Congress (Repubs had it since ‘94-06), they managed to tank the entire financial institutions, continue to fund two wars, and for the first time since the depression, they had the power to lower the value of your house. I’d say, don’t mess with Dems!

The Observer   October 15th, 2008 - 3:56 pm

Hey everybody…….What does Osama Bin Laden and Obama Bin Biden have in common…………

THEY BOTH HAVE FRIENDS THAT BOMBED THE PENTAGON.

Bill Ayers is the leftwing equivalent of Timothy McVeign. Can you imagine if Senator McCain had declared his initial candidacy for public office in Timothy McVeigh’s home? The media would have front paged that for the entire month of October.

Chuck   October 15th, 2008 - 4:02 pm

I have more finacal credits than Brokeazz Obanga and Im, a 8 grade drope out, Me an all my freinds are votign 4 the senator Mccane, he was a p.o.War and the Alaska lady, she is a buety queene, Liberals are moron. BrokeAsz Obanga wasn’t even borned in this Country, he is a mulzlim trader, they caused the stoke markete to Crash. Period

The Observer   October 15th, 2008 - 4:02 pm

FannieMae and FreddieMac were at the very epicenter of the mortgage meltdown, and the d’rats resisted every attempt to impose tighter regulations. It wasn’t deregulation that caused this but the corrupt d-rats and their moronic supporters.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S81brjpteDk

Ole Hank has got it right. This morning Hank Williams said he would appear with McCain/Palin at least twenty times in the next three weeks.

Stick a fork in it d-rats, you’re done.

[...] by a group called “Let Freedom Ring,” the ad does the best job I’ve seen of linking Obama to the Fannie Mae meltdown. It’s spot-on, [...]

davem   October 15th, 2008 - 4:14 pm

I really wonder , when the curtains close behind every voter on election day as they sign the ballots, how many pro Obama supporters will say to themselves … I’m just not ready to elect this black president especially considering his ties to Fannie Mae , Accorn , Rev Wright ,Farrakhan , Ayers, Muslim relatives and others. I think we are going to be surprised.

Can anyone answer this, is the S&L problem we have today the same one/kind we had with banks in the 80’s? or is this different and how?

Nobama   October 15th, 2008 - 4:39 pm

Senator Obama is the most liberal/leftist member of Congress. More liberal/leftwing than the self-avowed socialist from Vermont, Bernie Sanders.

What happens to our economy if Senator Obama is elected and tries to fight a recession by following through on his campaign promises by raising taxes on investment capital and small business? Senator Obama will be following the Hoover plan of fighting a slowdown by raising marginal tax rates, capital gains, and choking off trade by imposing higher tariffs (which is a tax).

If Senator Obama is elected, America will be building a bridge to the 1930s. Progressives will not be happy until they hammer the American economy into a great depression.

Is that what you want leftwing pukes?

Not Refuted   October 15th, 2008 - 4:41 pm

The Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) set numerical targets banks must hit to avoid financial penalties. These targets forced banks to write more mortgages in poor neighborhoods or be sued by activists like Obama for supposedly ‘redlining’ these neighborhoods. They could only hit such targets by lending money to people with bad credit, as bad credit, not racism, was the real reason banks were not lending money there in the first place. The banks obediently lowering credit standards as the only way possible to increase lending in these neighborhoods. So the sub-prime mortgage industry was created. Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and some private banks bought and sold so many of these bad loans that they went bankrupt. Now there is not enough money left in the banking system to finance normal business activity (a liquidity crisis). So the stock market crashed. Naturally it was the Democrats shaking down banks, forcing them to loan money to people without the means to pay it back, while claiming or implying that anyone who tried to stop them was a racist. Those who honor their financial commitments automatically get good credit scores based on the records kept at the credit bureaus. If they happen to live in the ghetto, they have a much better chance of being able to move out to more desirable neighborhoods. So these People who don’t make promises they can’t keep get rewarded for honoring their commitments. Then they have no reason to stay in the ghetto, making it difficult for banks to find credit worthy people in such places, that are supposedly redlined. Mortgages get approved by people of every race, who don’t even know the races of the customers they don’t even get to see. They use mathematical ratios, not racial profiles. The Democrats created this scandal by punishing innocent people for racist practices that did not exist, and the Democrat MSM refuses to admit which members of their own party are responsible, proving their partisanship.

For those of you who were in the middle of a freindly conversation here, I’m sorry to have interrupted it. Please continue. I will get out of your way. I wanted to call out the censors monitoring this board, who apparently feel threatened by comments they disagree with. Fortunately, you now have a link to the information they were trying to block as they apparently failed to notice the live link in my last comment. Unfortunately, my first comment, which also contained the same live link is still blocked. They hate that link. Just try to see for yourself how many times Breitbart will try to block your comment if you supply that exact link to their readers.

Not Refuted   October 15th, 2008 - 7:03 pm

I would like to thank Breitbart for finally showing my first comment (above) of October 15th, 2008 – 4:41 pm. For those who may be confused about what I mentioned in my comment from 6:09 pm. It refers to my comments posted 5:12 pm, 5:22 pm, 5:31 pm, 5:43 pm, & 5:47 pm which have since disappeared. They did not violate Breitbart policy, but were removed for other reasons.

Steve F   October 17th, 2008 - 10:54 am

Mary Pat Jordan, speaking of “going down girlfriend” how much did you earn last night for yo man? You are a BIG reason why LIBERALS are hated by the “real Americans” the folks that actually pay the MAJORITY of TAXES. Notice I do not use your much advertised “dr” of WHAT? Female studies? or “Afro Studies”? With an attitude like you have working with patients would be impossible, your such a jerk!
