The mindset of non-accountability (Barney Frank) created this whole mess.

I agree with that...

This is what I meant when I said the top executives should be made to pay this 700 billion bail out money.
They make the bad loans and when their banks go bellie up, they get millions of dollars. Something is definately wrong with this picture.

As was I. Why comment on the guy getting busted for committing a "Crime"? Whether it was worthy of people getting ripped from their life savings or not.

The liberal mindset of non-accountability (Barney Frank) created this whole mess.

Greed, corruption, and evil needs to be kept in check. So long as the dummy liberals block legislation as they did in 2005, no wonder wall street went crazy.

McCain Received $166,000 In Campaign Contributions from Charles Keating and his Associates.

McCain Used Keatings Private Planes on Nine Occasions

McCain Had Direct Financial Ties To Keating

When the story broke, McCain did nothing to help himself. ''You''re a liar,'' McCain said

when asked about the investments. He challenged reporters saying, ''It''s up to you to find that out, kids......

The other night I saw some old guy get busted...handcuffed and thrown in jail for stealing ( actually attempting to steal ) a frickin candy bar.

One *** candy bar....2 fricking cop cars, tv cameras and jail for the poor guy.

But these guys literally rape thousands and thousands of people of their life savings...creating God knows what kind of family strife for years to come and all they get is a little talking to by Rep. Waxhead ? !

Enough !!!!!!!!!

While the Wall Street ship was sinking, the executives ran off with pails full of money.

Erratic and unstable McCain''''''''s is loosing. Attacking an 8 year old Obama is ridicules, desperate, and somewhat disturbing. We had enough of Repub pedophile Mark Foley.

But McShame who was part of the Savings & Loan collapse should be held responsible for his crime in the Keating 5 corruption. McShame admitted he was guilty and the Courts gave him a suspended sentence for testifying against the other Keating 5.

Repig Rick Davis, economic advisor to McShame is still collecting monthly checks from Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae... more financial burden for the taxpayer.

I can cut and paste just like Fenner!!

This story is about the fraud and greed on Wall Street. Why are you people talking about phony birth certificats regarding Obama ?? It seems that the Republican spin machine is rearing its ugly head everywhere.

The bail out is a scam against the American people and the Bush Republicans are behind it. They have ruined America. Wake up..Its time to smell the coffee!

This revelation should reveal how saturated the corporate political environment. The corrupt federal government is literately catering and paying this type of regime.

So, what should we do about it?

I say, VOTE OUT *ALL* INCUMBERTS FROM *ALL* elected offices.

Then the mafia would have to make all new connections. Might slow them down a bit.

The attorneys for Obama and the DNC today filed a motion asking for a protective order stopping "all discovery%u201D in the Berg verses Obama lawsuit pending the Court''s decision on defendant''s motion to dismiss the action for lack of subject matter jurisdiction. This is the first time in American history a %u201Cnaturalized%u201D citizen and/or illegal alien has been allowed to campaign for the Office of President of the United States. The FEC and Democratic National Committee have refused to verify and furnish Obama%u2019s eligibility. All that has been provided is a copy of a %u201Ccertification of birth%u201D which can be easily made up by anyone. Mr. Obama has NOT and does NOT plan to give any evidence to the American public. Obama is now throwing the American public %u201Cunder the bus%u201D.
