NEVER FIND OUT

Please watch ALL the videos in this series (and share them widely) from LET FREEDOM RING. These are clear and concise and speak to the issues in ways that McCain's speaking skill cannot match. And for sure not Bush. Consider donating to help air more of these commercials. Listen to the RADIO SPOTS HERE.

Like a Box of Chocolates

it is getting stupider and stupider...
moma always used to say
"Stupid is like a box of chocolates ... you can only get so many in the box - and those are the ones that wreck your glycemic index just before the heart attack".

Has this Occurred to YOU?

Perhaps the rapid rise in oil prices this year were encouraged at some point by the Islamic and communist controlled oil barons to lay waste to the capitalist nations around the world? SURE it was a quick boom and large windfall for the oil rich nations - but they overdid it and they drove markets to a recession that in turn are driving oil to a recession. It is typical cyclical economics of a free market ... but what if the original run-up was assisted by worldwide anti-Bush - Anti-American sentiment - hoping to drive America to a regime change ... a whole "sea change" of government? It is happening, if it was intended or not.

The result is - the American economy is in shambles (as well as the rest of the world). The world blames America for the problem (the housing issue - set off by a time bomb the Democrats built in Fannie and Freddie) and we are about to elect a left leaning Euro-Philic government with a short sighted view that opposes drilling for more oil and opposes the only real help to gain energy independence (nuclear power). " WHEW !!" say Iran, Russia and Venezuela. That was close!!

With real energy reform off the table again ... the oil cartels can again rebuild their profits.
Meanwhile, Obama will be subsidizing (with tax dollars) low margin high cost replacements for oil, like "ethanol" "bio fuels" , solar, geothermal and wind. All of these will find their markets in due time and a little research subsidy is a good idea -- but the Obama approach will be to SUPERFUND these efforts at the expense of nuclear, clean coal and more oil drilling. The oil cartels will be very happy! And the American taxpayer will pay for its fuel through taxation rather than profits to realistic capitalist solutions.

So sad. There is nothing that will stop Obama. Republicans have completely failed to bring humor programming against the Democrats to Youtube.

Covering up the Fannie Freddie Scam

And the people now facing foreclosure and failed businesses and lost jobs are blaming Republicans??? All I can say is the Republicans are the worst communicators in the history of the nation. It is OBVIOUS the Democrats killed all reform of this financial mess and set up the country for the huge failures cascading through the country now.
Yet, So many will be voting for Democrats for congress and will vote for Obama for president.

Stuff Like This Bothers Me

First Generation American - of a Kenyan father(University of Hawaii), Hussein Obama (Harvard) , has taken the mantle of suffering American Slaves and has positioned himself to lead African Americans with slave heritage out of the bondage and irrelevance and victim-hood forced on them by an unfair nation. Obama has "adopted himself" into to the leadership of the victims of American Slavery.

Of course he is looking to the future and this is not to be interpreted as being a backward looking strategy, since slavery was abolished over a hundred years ago by the dogged determination of Republicans. Add to that the fact that major Civil Rights legislation of the last century was largely the result of Republican efforts. Meanwhile, in maintaining his own FREE African heritage, Obama made trips to Kenya to support his cousin's corrupted and bloody reach for power. A Foreign Policy Feather in his cap? From his actions (and specific non-actions to halt Republican plans of oversight) with Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac he (and his Democrat allies) has pulled the rug out from under the most vulnerable people among us (many of them black).

He supports a corrupt regime in Kenya while supporting policy in America to undermine the people he claims to help. Add to that his posturing because of weak foreign policy so that he even says in a debate that he will attack an ally (Pakistan -- a nuclear power) if they cannot control their own enemies within. This stands in contrast to his assertion that he will talk to any enemy of the United States without precondition to negotiate for peace ( Iran in particular). What is that again? He will bomb our friends, but he will talk with our enemies??? This is a dangerous man.

Plus - he has no clue about energy independence. He is opposed to two major requirements of a multi-pronged strategy - Nuclear Power and Expanded Domestic Oil Access.
You want a black president? There are at least SIX moderate and conservative African Americans on the radar that would be superb choices. It is stifling liberal policies of the man, Hussein Obama that are troubling.

Obama Will Win !!

OH, YES, he is the WRONG guy ... but...
1. 8 years of tiny cuts and bleeding in the Bush Camp has killed confidence in the Republicans. Yes, we can say we agree with Bush on most things, but if he can't talk his way out of a paper bag - his leadership is (and was) doomed. READ ALL OF THIS HERE - 10 POINTS

Fannie Mae CEO

Pretty much shows where the problem came from. Hello? see the other vids on this topic. Is his name "MUDD??" or what?? "his name is MUDD" comes from the accidental association of his great great grandfather with the assassin of President Lincoln.

Bush, McCain warn of financial mess

At last - clearly reported showing Dems failing entirely to react to warnings from Bush and the increasingly irrelevant Republican members of congress.

Burning Down The House: What Caused Our Economic Crisis?

Five Years Ago! Financial Reform Killed

The following quotes are from the New York Times FIVE YEARS AGO.
Republicans proposed increased oversight and regulation of Fannie and
Freddie, but Democrats fought it.

"The Bush administration today ( FIVE YEARS AGO) recommended the most significant regulatory overhaul in the housing finance industry since the savings and loan crisis a decade ago. Under the plan, disclosed at a Congressional hearing today, a new agency would be created within the Treasury Department to assume supervision of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, the government-sponsored companies that are the two largest players in the mortgage lending industry.

The new agency would have the authority, which now rests with Congress, to set one of the two capital-reserve requirements for the companies. It would exercise authority over any new lines of business. And it would determine whether the two are adequately managing the risks of their ballooning portfolios." Democrats pushed back. "Among the groups enouncing the proposal today were the National Association of Home Builders and Congressional Democrats who fear that tighter regulation of the companies could sharply reduce their commitment to financing low-income and affordable housing".

"These two entities, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, are not facing any kind of financial crisis", said 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.

Let's face it.. The DEMOCRATS had a chance to fix this based on proposed legislation by REPUBLICANS five years ago. Records seem to show this has been brought up many times by Republicans and shot down consistently by Democrats who disregarded all financial caution to push home ownership to people who could not afford it - a way they viewed perhaps - to better distribute America's wealth and promote a stonger base of Democrat voters. I am the first to say this is a kind hearted approach - and well meaning. But kind hearted and well meaning actions have too often trumped logic and market forces in the manipulation of the American economy. When it does - UNINTENDED results often follow in the wake. Here we are with a boatload of mortgages secured by no assets at all and poor people being thrown into the streets- their homes foreclosed. It is amazing to me how this phenomenon is being effectively sold to the public as the result of REPUBLICAN policies !! Again, my lack of faith in Republicans to communicate with people is confirmed.
