If you guys from the left keep doing all this good work for us, it really is going to be a McCain/Palin landslide in November.

Well I know why I'm angry. I'm angry because the government got too involved in our lives and decided that everyone should own a home. Then later, when their little dream got out of hand, they didn't want to step in to clean up the mess they created.

Now while discriminatory lending practices should be unacceptable, removing all requirements was equally so. When you don't have to put any money down or demonstrate income or credit worthiness then it seems that banks were being very irresponsible as lenders. However, there was pressure from congress, through perhaps over enforcement of the Community Reinvestment Act, to continually lessen lending requirements - among those leading the charge were Barney Frank and Chris Dodd

As Chairman of the US Senate Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs, one of Dodd's responsibilities was to oversee banking so when he professed to have no knowledge of the depth of this crisis, it seems to me he wasn't doing his job, he was lying, or his knowledge of finance is slim. Ditto for Barney Frank as Chairman of the House Committee on Financial Services. Both should be thoroughly investigated for their respective roles in this crisis, particularly in the case of Frank who has been on record numerous times in the past few years defending the status of Fannie and Freddie and attacking any efforts to regulate them.

Further, the Republicans when they had the majority did not do their duty to force an investigation into Fannie and Freddie. That too, is inexcusable. And now, to add insult to injury, they all come to us for bailout money and continue to lace the bill with pork. They must think we are really stupid. The American people want answers - we want the perpetrators to be investigated, we want a thorough investigation of Fannie and Freddie by the FBI and the SEC to start and we want irresponsible lending practices curtailed. Wall Street has its culpability, but that's a separate issue. Let's start with congress and, as always, follow the money.

...leftists attack everyone with whom they disagree as stupid, ugly, racist, sexist even when that person is generally of the left as well. It is funny how a liberal like Paglia is just not the right sort of liberal. Like Clarence Thomas, Condi Rice and Michael Steele are not the right sort of Blacks and Sarah Palin is not the right sort of feminist.

Given the number of Catholics who voted for the great champion of abortion now sitting in the Oval Office, I wouldn't be too concerned that the Pope has much impact on American Catholics. That said, I abhor any denial by anyone of the Holocaust, but let's face it, most of that comes from the Muslim community and they would like to finish off what Hitler left undone. Bash the Catholic Church all you want, but your real problem is with the moon worshippers.

Let's face it, you couldn't answer his question as to whether you thought a late term fetus had rights. He asked several times and you evaded until finally you choked out a "no". Have you no conviction? Why the waver? The question had nothing to do with the law, try as you did to make it so. The question was about ethics and that's where you flunked. There is rarely a sound medical reason for late term abortion and it is late term abortion that O'Reilly always attacked Tiller for.
