uh, no. me and 100,000,000 others did as we were told by the rich

-we worked hard

Doesn't matter though; you're brainwashed. Carry on with your ranting

As much as I can't stomach some of the sleezy losers on Wall Street,
including the banks that endorsed creative BS financial tools like
CDS's, do you honesty think we, as middle class, were not somewhat
responsible for the record foreclosures, as you've claimed?

I know people that were fully aware should not be trying to take out a
loan for a $450K+ house but did so anyway. Also know people that
purposely faked their true incomes to get the loans. And, many were
on a "home-flipping" spree and bragging about it during the housing
bubble. They knew what they were doing.

But, according to you, it wasn't their fault. They were the
"victims".

Give me a break.

*Many* were responsible for the housing bubble and subsequent crash.
Including us regular Joe's and Jane's. But also people like your
beloved Dems in Congress, namely The Honorable Congressman Barney
Frank.

Yes. I think many people over-extended themselves without really thinking
about it as much as they should. That doesn't absolve WS for lying and
cheating though.

I know people that were fully aware should not be trying to take out a
loan for a $450K+ house but did so anyway. Also know people that
purposely faked their true incomes to get the loans. And, many were
on a "home-flipping" spree and bragging about it during the housing
bubble. They knew what they were doing.


I know people who were leveraged up to the Empire State's roof line. One
couple bought 20 houses across the country. They're now bust. They didn't
fake income, however.

If you knew people that faked income or committed some other kind of fraud,
did you turn them in? Probably not, so you can't be blameless either.

But, according to you, it wasn't their fault. They were the "victims".

Give me a break.

*Many* were responsible for the housing bubble and subsequent crash.
Including us regular Joe's and Jane's. But also people like your
beloved Dems in Congress, namely The Honorable Congressman Barney
Frank.


Yes, there's blame to go around. I think we get your point. Now, as to
solutions... WS needs regulation. Banks need regulation, but your beloved
Republicans were blocking (up until yesterday) even debate on what should be
done. Instead they wanted "backroom" deals first.

we were. we kept voting for politicians that preached free market
fundamentalism...look at the GOP and the teabaggers today, and the
fact they'll probably win the house in november.

Give me a break.


the average % of homeowners has been about 65% for 40 years. that has
stayed constant. homeowners werent responsible because we were
marginal influences. compare that to the scope of CDO's:

1 trillion in '96

62 trillion in 2006.

tell me which was the bigger..by far...influence.

irrelevant. you're talking marginal influences

i'm talking meat and potatoes. that's why you need FACTS rather than
right wing myth

Sent to me by a friend. Now I can better understand the relationships
between
Democrats and tort reform. Not putting down Democrats, or anything, just
thinking out loud.

This hits close to home but makes some interesting points. A similar theme
was articulated by Scalia a while back when he essentially said that "we
are devoting too many of our best minds to lawyering".

Barack Obama is a lawyer.

Michelle Obama is a lawyer.

Hillary Clinton is a lawyer.

Bill Clinton is a lawyer.

John Edwards is a lawyer.

Elizabeth Edwards is a lawyer.

Every Democrat nominee since 1984 went to law school (although Gore did
not graduate).

Every Democrat vice presidential nominee since 1976, except for Lloyd
Bentsen, went to law school.

Look at leaders of the Democrat Party in Congress:

Harry Reid is a lawyer.

Nancy Pelosi is a lawyer.

The Republican Party is different.

President Bush is a businessman..

Vice President Cheney is a businessman.

The leaders of the Republican Revolution:

Newt Gingrich was a history professor.

Tom Delay was an exterminator. Dick Armey was an economist.

House Minority Leader Boehner was a plastic manufacturer.

The former Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist is a heart surgeon.

Who was the last Republican president who was a lawyer? Gerald Ford, who
left office 31 years ago and who barely won the Republican nomination as a
sitting president, running against Ronald Reagan in 1976. The Republican
Party is made up of real people doing real work, who are often the targets
of lawyers.

The Democrat Party is made up of lawyers. Democrats mock and scorn men
who create wealth, like Bush and Cheney, or who heal the sick, like Frist,
or who immerse themselves in history, like Gingrich.

The Lawyers' Party sees these sorts of people, who provide goods and
services that people want, as the enemies of America. And, so we have
seen the procession of official enemies, in the eyes of the Lawyers'
Party, grow.

Against whom do Hillary and Obama rail? Pharmaceutical companies, oil
companies, hospitals, manufacturers, fast food restaurant chains, large
retail businesses, bankers, and anyone producing anything of value in our
nation.

This is the natural consequence of viewing everything through the eyes of
lawyers. Lawyers solve problems by successfully representing their
clients, in this case the American people. Lawyers seek to have new laws
passed, they seek to win lawsuits, they press appellate courts to overturn
precedent, and lawyers always parse language to favor their side.

Confined to the narrow practice of law, that is fine. But it is an awful
way to govern a great nation. When politicians as lawyers begin to view
some Americans as clients and other Americans as opposing parties, then
the role of the legal system in our life becomes all-consuming. Some
Americans become "adverse parties" of our very government. We are not all
litigants in some vast social class-action suit. We are citizens of a
republic that promises us a great deal of freedom from laws, from courts,
and from lawyers.

Today, we are drowning in laws; we are contorted by judicial decisions; we
are driven to distraction by omnipresent lawyers in all parts of our once
private lives. America has a place for laws and lawyers, but that place
is modest and reasonable, not vast and unchecked. When the most important
decision for our next president is whom he will appoint to the Supreme
Court, the role of lawyers and the law in America is
too big.. When lawyers use criminal prosecution as a continuation of
politics by other means, as happened in the lynching of Scooter Libby and
Tom Delay, then the power of lawyers in America is too great. When
House Democrats sue America in order to hamstring our efforts to learn
what our enemies are planning to do to us, then the role of litigation in
America has become crushing.

We cannot expect the Lawyers' Party to provide real change, real reform or
real hope in America Most Americans know that a republic in which
every major government action must be blessed by nine unelected judges is
not what Washington intended in 1789. Most Americans grasp that we
cannot fight a war when ACLU lawsuits snap at the heels of our defenders.
Most Americans intuit that more lawyers and judges will not restore
declining moral values or spark the spirit of enterprise in our economy..

Perhaps Americans will understand that change cannot be brought to our
nation by those lawyers who already largely dictate American society and
business. Perhaps Americans will see that hope does not come from the
mouths of lawyers but from personal dreams nourished by hard work.
Perhaps Americans will embrace the truth that more lawyers with more power
will only make our problems worse.

The United States has 5% of the world's population and 66% of the
world's lawyers! Tort (Legal) reform legislation has been introduced in
Congress several times in the last several years to limit punitive damages
in ridiculous lawsuits such as "spilling hot coffee on yourself and suing
the establishment that sold it to you" and also to limit punitive damages
in huge medical malpractice lawsuits. This legislation has continually
been blocked from even being voted on by the Democrat Party. When you see
that 97% of the political contributions from the American Trial Lawyers
Association goes to the Democrat Party, then you realize who is
responsible
for our medical and product costs being so high!

*mouths of lawyers but from personal dreams nourished by hard work.
*Perhaps Americans will embrace the truth that more lawyers with more power
*will only make our problems worse.

*The United States has 5% of the world's population and 66% of the
*world's lawyers! Tort (Legal) reform legislation has been introduced in
*Congress several times in the last several years to limit punitive damages
*in ridiculous lawsuits such as "spilling hot coffee on yourself and suing
*the establishment that sold it to you" and also to limit punitive damages
*in huge medical malpractice lawsuits. This legislation has continually
*been blocked from even being voted on by the Democrat Party. When you see
*that 97% of the political contributions from the American Trial Lawyers
*Association goes to the Democrat Party, then you realize who is responsible
*for our medical and product costs being so high!

Pssst......

According to congressmerge.com, a searchable database on the 110th
congress...


Your database search matched 78 members of Congress, including:



•19 Senators and 58 Representatives
•78 Republicans
You searched for members of Congress who fulfill all the following
criteria:


•They are Republicans.
•Their Professional experience includes "attorney".

I found another 3 under lawyer for a total of 81


So what? Like Jim says, liberals are dishonest as hell. You're a good example of
same.

Now hush. I'm done with you. Maybe in June I'll answer another of your inane
posts.
