Another "best caliber" discussion?

"People are no longer able to afford their mortgage payments," said McCain as he laid out what he billed as an original proposal for addressing the grassroots impact of the Wall Street credit crisis.

"As president of the United States, I would order the secretary of the treasury to immediately buy up the bad home loan mortgages in America and renegotiate at the new value of those homes, at the diminished value of those homes," he said.

Doing so would enable struggling homeowners to meet their mortgage payments and stay in their homes, he said.

+1.

Would be nice if someone with American values & a conservative outlook could actually get nominated. Wouldn't think either of these guys was a Republican by their agendas or acomplishments & neither is conservative. They should let the economy tank.

True - maybe I should have had one that said "better a waffling moron than a conniving dictator!"

Anyway, McCain scares me less than Obama.

What scares me most of all is the utter ignorance of most of the electorate, and the failure of the Republican party to grasp the concept that "Democrat lite" just doesn't cut it.

I feel little sympathy for those who allowed themselves to be talked into loans that they could ill afford, and knew it. Sub-prime lending is the crux of this problem. Both the lenders and lendees are culpable, and greed is behind it. Living above your means seems to have taken on a new meaning in the 21st Century. Now that these dummies are caught up in the web of their own making they cry to the government for an easy way out. Sorry, but I am not interested.

This is a true statement.

I don't believe I can describe my feelings about the state of politics... certainly not in mixed company... or a public forum.

Yup, I'm SO proud that I've worked all my life under the the impression it was the right thing to keep employed (at any kind of sucky jobs, or maybe two of them), pay all your bills mostly on time, not go on welfare and be a burden, have some pride in your values AND that the thanks I get is to pass along some MORE of MY hard earned money to some clown or CEO that screwed up and thought money was free...... From each, to each: Sound familiar? I'm SO fricken pleased that the 15% of what I've been sticking into a 401 is about a third gone this last month, but it pleases me to NO end that the Illegals and welfare mutts won't lose a dime and will get their cost of living increase and lots more freebees loaded on my back to bare........... At the very least, audit the illegals and take what they get and use it to prop things up; two birds with one stone, as it were. Thank God I work in the water utilities...I think my job is safe, but I wonder who I'll be working for?

I too have zero sympathy for either the folks that got loans they shoulda knew they couldn't pay nor the lenders that gave them the money knowing they likely wouldn't be able to afford.
But from where I sit it looks like the Gov't, the administration I voted in, is tripping over itself trying to fix it, or help its friends more than the recipients of the loans are begging for help.
The Govt is not bailing out the sorry suckers who cant pay for their homes, its bailing out the banks, CEO's & corporations that caused it. This is not because Bush or anybody else cares about Americans getting fleeced or making mistakes.

At the end of the day some 700 billion or whatever dollars will be sucked from our pockets & those people will still have outstanding mortgages even tho the banks got bailed out. Nice scheme, they get their money & still get to collect the mortgages or foreclose & sell the real estate.

Deregulation is deregulation. They were happy as all get out giving away money & collecting interest without much oversight, now its biting them in the butt & I think it should be allowed to happen.
Sure as heck printing more money & making believe that helps is not going to be good for anyone except the ones to blame. Screw them.

But, no doubt, McCain is the lesser of the 2 evils. I'm just not sure I want to participate in that kind of election again. Its a sad day in America when these two are judged the best of the lot.

Vote for McCain and you are really voting for Palin down the road.

[revorg]

Hobie...

I hear that.

[Wayne Miller]

Palin/Jindal
2012

Let us pray the Republic can weather four years of Obamunism.

[Old Savage]

If Obama gets in the middle of the road idiots that let that happen, I believe, will shortly realize they have been had.

[Leverdude]

Its my opinion that middle of the road idiots got McCain nominated. Conservatives wouldn't have voted for him in the primaries.
We get what we deserve. Palin looks good but she's an unproven entity in almost every way. I think in reality she will cost us votes. Time will tell I supose but it kinda looks like both parties are trying to see how absurd of a candidate they can get elected.

Anyway I dont see a conservative to vote for & if McCain aint middle of the road then he's left of center. We might not like to admit it but we already been had.

[Ysabel Kid]

Please name me one Democrat President since Kennedy who actually kept his promise to lower taxes for the middle class. They all did during their campaigns and then magically either the middle class became the rich (as far as taxation was concerned), or they "never worked harder in their lives" before putting the screws to us once again.

Palin/Jindal 2012!!!
