Thomas Woods I am going to call you a racist since you see no problem with that video, you are what I think is the worst possible version of your party. You along with guys that post "damn spooks ruined the banks" in that videos comments section are sickening and your blind loyality to some greedy unethical, win at all costs people in your party, have taken this country to a really horrible place in history. So far this thread has been free of racist bullshit and the fact you post that, should be called out for what it is.

I bet you are the exact kind of guy that was spouting that anyone that opposed the Iraq war was unAmerican.

Of course they did...as did Republicans.  No one comes out of this financial crisis unscathed.  The Republicans are no more visionaries or knights in shinning armor than the Democrats are the sole reason why we are in this horrible economic crisis.

Well, Thomas, for one thing, the video is helping to perpetrate the myth that this current financial situation is based on black people buying homes.

Also, Matt, Thomas - as I noted in my Congressional post - you can use congressional records to prove any point you like.

Did Rs try to stop this?  Yes!  Did D's stop them?  Yes!  Did D's try to stop this?  Yes!  Did Rs try to stop them?  Yes!

zzzz... relevence?

Whenever you hear/read a talking point blaming some congressional vote - take it with a grain of salt.  Look it up, investigate a little - you'll frequently find that it's a wash.

As is the case with this financial mess.  Did the Rs try to float a plan?  Yes, and it didn't pass committee, and then it became another bill that no one was too concerned about.  Oh, and 16 months after the fact, McCain piggy backed onto it.  Also, Obama introduced a bill.  And it went no where too.

Because?  Bills are introduced every day.  Some make it, some don't.  Sometimes two bills that say almost the same thing, but one has pork for Ds and one has pork for Rs and thus, the party line votes.

Thomas the video wasn't an indictment on democrats it was a video blaming black people for the Fannie problem. Seriously you saw that as such a correct idea, you posted it here.  The fact that you put a video on this thread that had comments like I listed before, is just wrong. Those weren't the only racist comments on there in support of that video. And as for my quick judgement of you I will use a saying that was a favorite of my dads.
