See & Hear For Yourself:

Devastating!... Dems Refuse to Reform Freddie & Fannie in 2004 (Video)

Video proof that Democratic leaders refused to reform over Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.

...Don't expect to see this on the nightly news.

Shocking Video Unearthed Democrats in their own words Covering up the Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac Scam that caused our Economic Crisis:


http://gatewaypundit.blogspot.com/2008/09/devastating-dems-refuse-to-reform.html


After having served less than 4 years in the US Senate and spending most of that time campaigning, Barack Obama was still able to collect $105,849 from mortgage giants Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae since 2004.

Former Fannie Mae Chairman Jim Johnson is still advising Barack Obama.

Thoughts everyone? Thanks for sharing.

I saw that 2004 video a couple years ago. Pretty bad and of course the Dems made a big deal about it, covering their tracks to say the Repubs were out to get them.

This video is snipped and spliced together. Rather than letting the viewer determine the context, there are 2 second sound bites which are preceded by typed wording about what we are about to see, with the video putting everything into context rather than the viewer. Snippets of someone saying something with no clarity or understanding of what was said before and after and who they are even talking about, with people using lots of "they" in the video but the splicing making it impossible to figure out who they're talking about. This is just another attempt to swiftboat Democrats with propaganda video.

McCain's campaign manager's very own lobbying firm was receiving payments of $15,000 per month until very recently (last month I believe). Now could you please tell me, what was McCain's campaign manager doing for that money? Oh. And this guy will no doubt have a very high position in a McCain administration, God forbid.

Since the Reagan days, the Republican party has had a platform centered around deregulating everything in sight. Every industry is doing worse under deregulation and the fruits of the Republican theories are coming to fruition. What a mess the Republicans have created, and now try to blame on Democrats. Dont get swiftboated!

It's true and everyone knows it.

http://www.ireport.com/docs/DOC-88137

Democrats really need to reconsider their vote. Whatever it is that makes them differentiate themselves from Republicans needs to be re-evaluated. The signature "I hate Bush" thing isn't a good enough rationale anymore.

The sooner Democrats realize that "their" representatives are part of the problem the better. Barack would be a Democratic enabler to Harry Ried and Nancy Pelosi. She may want to save the planet, but she'll crap on every American if she has to, to do it. If Biden were to have to leave his postion, Nancy Pelosi would become Barack's vice president.

Now, everyone knows you can't change the minds of people who don't think they have a problem. Ask an alcoholic in denial if he thinks he has a drinking problem.

For the sake of the country, Democrats that have enough sense and courage to stand in the way of our current Congress, need to do just that. Stand back and look at it all. Then make a responsible decision.

It does not good to tell Obama minions anything, this is not an election for a president for them where all of our welfare is at stake.
This is a season of Americian Idol.

Coming from someone who's supporting the party that brought us Sarah Palin as a VP candidate, that's quite the pot/kettle statement..........
