It’s amazing the stupidity of Jimmy Hoffa suggesting that the tea party folks are destroying American workers jobs, that they are somehow pawns led around by the Koch brothers and they are to blame for “right to work states” Huh?
The tea party started in February of 2009, all of the 22 Right-to-Work states were instituted prior to that date.
The tea party members did not invoke the free trade agreements that leave us with a lopsided trade deficit.
The tea party people did not start congressional over-spending
The tea party is not responsible for Café standards on automobiles
The tea party did not place restrictions on energy companies driving costs up nationally
The tea party did not threaten voters at the polls or partner with an organization that illegally registered Mickey Mouse and the entire Dallas football team to vote.
The Tea Party does however endorse reduced government spending, opposition to taxation in varying degrees, reduction of the national debt and federal budget deficit and adherence to an originalist interpretation of the United State Constitution
Maybe Jimmy Hoffa should take a look at these statistics before spouting off.
Percentage Growth in Real Personal Income (1999-2009)
Right to Work States 28.3%
Forced-Unionism States 14.7%
National Average 19.5%
Cost of Living-Adjusted Per Capita Disposable Personal Income
Right to Work States $35,543
Forced-Unionism State $33,389
National Average $34,256
Here’s another little tidbit of info for Jimmy; leading the pack in Big Labor’s violence category is the Teamsters. Since 1991, they have had 454 incidents of violence and they have twice as much as the group in 2nd place.
The comments this past weekend by these “democratic operatives” shows the level of urgency that this party is experiencing. The Democrat’s cannot run on their record so they need to attack anybody and anything to distract from that record.
When a conservative group of ordinary America’s concerned on which way their country is heading are called “terrorists, racists and jihadists” then they should know that they are the right track, especially when the name-calling comes from the extreme left wing, such as Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid and the number one race baiter in this country, Al Sharpton.

Our Efficient Government
Via the internet; author unknown
Once upon a time the government had a vast scrap yard in the middle of a desert. Congress said, "Someone may steal from it at night."
So they created a night watchman position and hired a person for the job.
Then Congress said, "How does the watchman do his job without instruction?" So they created a planning department and hired two people, one person to write the instructions, and one person to do time studies.
Then Congress said, "How will we know the night watchman is doing the tasks correctly?" So they created a Quality Control department and hired two people, one to do the studies and one to write the reports.
Then Congress said, "How are these people going to get paid?" So they created two positions: a timekeeper and a payroll officer then hired two people.
Then Congress said, "Who will be accountable for all of these people?" So they created an administrative section and hired three people, an Administrative Officer, Assistant Administrative Officer, and a Legal Secretary.
Then Congress said, "We have had this command in operation for one Year and we are $918,000 over budget, we must cutback." So they lay off the night watchman.
NOW slowly, let it sink in… Quietly, we go like sheep to slaughter.
Does anybody remember the reason given for the establishment of the DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY... during the Carter Administration?
Anybody?
Anything?
No?
Didn't think so!
Bottom line. We've spent several hundred billion dollars in support of an agency.... the reason for which not one person who reads this can remember!
Ready?
It was very simple. and at the time, everybody thought it very appropriate.
The Department of Energy was instituted on 8/04/1977
TO LESSEN OUR DEPENDENCE ON FOREIGN OIL.
Hey, pretty efficient, huh?
AND NOW IT'S
2010 -- 33 Years later – and the budget for this necessary department is at $24.2 BILLION a year. It has 16,000 FEDERAL EMPLOYEES and approximately100,000 CONTRACT EMPLOYEES and what a fine job it has done!
33 years ago 30% of our oil consumption was foreign imports.
Today 70% of our oil consumption is foreign imports.
Ah, yes -- good old Federal bureaucracy.
Now they want us to turn over control of our banking system, health care and auto industry to these same people and the same methods of mismanagement
Hello!! Anybody Home? Are you awake yet my little SHEEPLE?
NOVEMBER is just a few weeks away. Time to TAKE OUT THE TRASH!

Butt Nuggetts from Obama
The speech Obama presented to us on Tuesday night had me screaming at the TV, his lies are starting to stack themselves like Lego’s.
His three point plan is to; A) Stop the leak. B) Clean up the mess and C) make sure it doesn’t happen again.
Sounds like a good plan until he added his push for his Cap-n-Tax bill, the tax on carbon emissions.
Let us not forget that carbon was the blame for the coming of the new ice age in the 70’s, global warming in the 90’s and then climate change in this new century. This theory was blown out the window when the lid popped off that the “scientific” data was corrupt and so were the people reporting it. Al Gore went into hiding and has barely been seen since.
This legislation has nothing to do with climate change; it is a bill to tax the American people as a penalty for using 22% of the world’s resources while having only 2% of the population as Mr. Obama likes to state over and over again.
We don’t steal these resources; we buy them and make other countries rich in the process. If these other countries don’t like our cash, they don’t have to sell to us.
Obama put a 6-month moratorium on deep water drilling in or until he can be assured that this won’t happen again. What a joke! There is nothing he can do to stop an accident from happening. There is nothing he can do now. He lacks the wisdom and experience needed to handle this situation.
This man has never even run a cash register but he thinks he’s qualified to run this country, give me a break!
He wallows in self pity stating that this is the “hardest 18 months any president has served” Really? Harder than when Ford had to take over for Nixon after Watergate or when JFK had to deal with the Cuba Missile Crisis or when Johnson had to fill in after JFK was assassinated? The list is endless, this man does not deserve this high honored post and he brings down the nobility of it a little every day.
Instead of embracing the will of the American people to close our borders to secure our country and jobs, he attacks the people of Arizona and sides with the criminal dictator of Mexico. Against the will of the people, he signs a health care bill full well knowing we cannot afford it.
Obama states that he will be adding yet another Czar to the list. “Oil Spill Czar” I guess he’ll call the position.
The new oil spill czar is not to be mistaken for the old oil spill czar, U.S. Coast Guard Admiral Thad Allen, who was officially designated the "National Incident Commander of the Unified Command for the Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico" on April 30. Allen was appointed by Department of Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano 10 days after the disaster, which Napolitano and Obama claimed they had been on top of since “day one”
Obama deemed that Allen, Napolitano, Energy Secretary Steven Chu, environmental czar Carol Browner, Interior Secretary Ken Salazar and the rest of his self-declared "all hands on deck" crew insufficient. We told him this months ago.
I’ve seen enough of this clown. It took everything I could muster to watch the full 15 minute speech.
I would love to see him speak again after the conservatives have taken control of the house just to watch him squirm.

Where are the Fire Booms?
Despite the millions of dollars we have already paid in the form of taxes, the US did not have a single fire boom on hand to control the spill in the Gulf of Mexico.
Congress set a cap limit in the 1990 in response to the Exxon Valdez spill in Alaska at $75 million that oil companies would be expected to pay to cover the costs of oil spill clean ups. This is known as the Oil Pollution Act. Later in 1994, the Clinton administration produced the "In-Situ Burn" plan in 1994 calling for responding to a major oil spill in the Gulf with the immediate use of fire booms.
Problem is, they never purchased the booms.
Again, our government has failed us by spending our money that was intended to protect us against these accidents by spending the money elsewhere, most likely on some pet project in some congressman’s back yard.
Congress is now back peddling trying to raise the cost that oil companies must pay to $10 billion retroactively.
Obama, being the largest recipient of campaign donations from BP Oil had exempted them from a meeting on offshore oil safety.
No matter what his chatter, it’s business as usual in DC.
Taxpayers will again take it on the chin to pay twice and more for lack of government responsibility. If they succeed in raising the cost to BP to $10 billion, gas prices will go up. The fire booms that are now on order (6) that we already paid for will be paid for again using our tax dollars.
This in turn will lead to all costs rising again on food and consumables that are delivered using any method that requires oil and gas, which is everything we use. This is just what we need at this time. the economy despite the democratic talking heads, is not recovering. This has a real possibility of putting us into a real depression, something the Obama administration will be over-joyed about bringing about the "change" they have been looking for as spelled out in Saul Alinsky's "Rules for Radicals" that Obama taught in college and Hillary idolizes.
I can’t state strong enough the need to find the most conservative candidates and get them elected in 2010 and 2012. We thought the republicans were bad until this lot of criminals got put into the White House and are systematically destroying our country by “using whatever means possible” as quoted by Ms. Pelosi and “never let a crisis go to waste” Chief of Staff (as Sean Hannity refers to him) “Rahm Rambo Dead-Fish Emmanuel”

Democrats are willing to destroy our way of life and our country by looking at amnesty as a way to increase their voter support. They know that by passing an amnesty bill, they will increase their voter support by 16 million people; that is if all of them register and actually vote. By continuing the nanny state and giving these people health care, welfare and food stamps, the people will stay at or under the poverty level and will pay no taxes, thus guaranteeing democratic voters.
The democrats are not for the poor; they are for the elitists and use the poor as a voter base.
Illegal drugs brought to this country across our southern border destroy 1.6 million teen lives a year. And that doesn’t take into account the number of family members that are affected by these kids addicted to these drugs.
Everyday drugs are being carried across our open border. Every week people die at the hands of drug cartels trafficking drugs across our border.
Our federal government has done nothing to enforce the laws that exist. The people of Arizona -- fed up with the wishy-washy John McCain and his left of center ways passed a state law that in effect, gives state law enforcement the tools in which to carry out the laws dictated by the federal statutes.
There is neither “profiling” nor “racism” in this bill. People will not have to do as the liberal talking heads and the state run media has suggested will happen with the “show me your papers” remarks assimilating the law with Gestapo law enforcement tactics. Nothing could be further from the truth. This law does nothing more than what the federal law already provides for.
Read it for yourself SB1070. If you don’t have time to read the entire law, read at least lines 16 – 31.
There are close to 23 million illegal aliens in this country. The non-Mexican count is 579,543. So you can do the math and see were the major problem is. Additional stat’s can be found here: http://immigrationcounters.com/
So much controversy over racial profiling has been brought up, but if you ask the legal Mexican immigrants and the Mexican-Americans if they mind being questioned, there is a resounding “no problem”. These people have or are in the process of paying their dues to become legal citizens of this country, they play by the rules set up to protect them and us and resent the fact that congress is even considering amnesty.
The illegals are not just taking white American jobs; they are taking jobs from the Mexican-Americans as well.
The cost of Social Services programs since 1996 to handle illegal immigration is a staggering $397+ billion. We cannot afford this cost any longer. We need to elect people to congress that will enforce the laws and protect our borders.
I believe that every one as the right to live in whichever country they want, but I also believe that in order to get the benefits of that country, you must play by the rules. Learn the heritage, learn the language and pay your fair share.

Open Borders
The liberals always jump to conclusions anytime there is a problem. For example, the Times Square bomber that was stopped this week, the Democratic NYC Mayor Bloomberg suggested that it was “probably some right wing nut job that was unhappy with the health care bill” Why would he suggest this?
There has been no reported incident of violence by any conservative, tea party member or for that matter a republican, but the liberals are trying to show tea party members as Timothy McVeigh wannbes.
This is the third attack in a year on our soil. We had the underwear bomber in Detroit, the massacre at Ft. Hood Texas and now this foiled attempt in New York which by the way was thwarted by a newspaper stand vendor, but of course Janet Napolitano took full credit for the capture. Napolitano was of course the one that stated, “the system worked” when the Detroit bomber was captured by passengers after his bomb material failed to ignite.
How can she say, “the system worked” when the system had nothing to do with the detection or capture of this terrorist.
No one in the Obama administration will call these what they are; a terrorist attack. They don’t want to step on any toes in the Muslim world.
They will however call the people of Arizona “racists” for having the guts to enforce the laws that the federal government will not. These are laws already on the books yet the federal government will not enforce them.
The high cost of cheap labor is destroying our country.
According to the Center on Immigration Studies, households headed by illegal aliens imposed more than $26.3 billion in costs on the federal government in 2002 and paid only $16 billion in taxes, creating a net fiscal deficit of almost $10.4 billion, or $2,700 per illegal household.
Among the largest costs are Medicaid ($2.5 billion); treatment for the uninsured ($2.2 billion); food assistance programs such as food stamps, WIC, and free school lunches ($1.9 billion); the federal prison and court systems ($1.6 billion); and federal aid to schools ($1.4 billion).
Legalization (Amnesty) would increase average tax payments by 77 percent, but average costs would rise by 118 percent.
The Center did two simulations of immigration reform and found that in both cases the deficit left by each illegal household would be -$6,022 and -$7,668 It’s a no win situation. Granting amnesty will not alleviate the problem.
Leaving our borders wide open will however lead to many more attacks on American soil and will certainly kill more people. We need to treat these foiled bombers as if the bombs had gone off and we need to secure our borders now.

Carl Levin and The Bad Old Bankers
Senator Levin hauled in executives from Goldman-Sachs this past week to “scold” them and to try to suggest that they were the cause of the financial melt-down in the housing market. This is a joke and just more political posturing trying to vilify the rich and to try and boost the sagging democratic congressional poll numbers in an election year.
The financial meltdown began with Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac under the “expert tutelage” of Franklin Raines as he and others smoked the books and siphoned off billions of tax payer dollars as bonuses.
Most of all the home mortgages in the U.S. were covered by these 2 democratic controlled lending institutions. You can thank Barney Frank and Chris Dodd for the mortgage meltdown. They both are the chairman of the banking mortgage committees in the house and the senate and both voted against regulating Fannie and Freddie in 2005. Under guidance and control of the federal government Fannie and Freddie were told to keep buying up troubled mortgages, all this while bad mortgages were still being issued.
Janet Reno and several other former employees of Bill Clinton worked and were in charge of Fannie and Freddie. Also, you can thank ex-president and elitist Jimmy Carter for enacting the “Fair Housing Act”. That act forced lending institutions to give mortgages to poor people who could not afford a house. This act was expanded under Clinton in authority by Housing Secretary Cisneros and later Andrew Cuomo; all while being monitored by Barney Frank and Christ Dodd.
All these people mentioned orchestrated this by forcing banks and lending institutions to lend money to poor people that could not afford houses.
Under Housing Secretary Cisneros the law was that every dollar that was lent out by any lending institution had to lend an additional $0.35 to poor people in impoverished areas. Under Housing Secretary Cuomo, that rate was increased to $0.50 for every dollar that was lent out.
When problems started showing up with the mortgage meltdown, Fannie and Freddie were told to start buying up the risky mortgages. To hide this they cooked the books to keep this problem under lock and key. Hence, the mortgage meltdown was created because the “haves” must give to the “have-nots”.
This is socialism at its best. Stop blaming bankers and Wall Street for our problems. Mr. Levin needs to start blaming his liberal socialist agenda that has kidnapped the Democratic Party that believes the money will never run out. When it does, their motto is to borrow more. And when they can’t borrow anymore and they have no answers to solve this collapse of our economy, so they blame the evil capitalist that are wealthy. They make them villains only because they have a lot of money. It must be the rich that caused this problem.
Well, I got news for you; it is the liberal socialist movement that encourages people to be lazy, to become dependent on the government for everything, to hate anyone that is successful, and to become dedicated democratic voters.
Hard working tax payers of America need to wake up. We may have different beliefs, but the one thing we have in common is that we pay far too much in taxes. Taxes that encourage people to be lazy and taxes that allow politicians to spend our money with no consequences. I am sick and tired of my hard earned tax dollars going to people that whine, complain, and people with low or no self-esteem, no dignity and I object to my tax dollars being wasted going to lazy people in this country.
And I am fed up with politicians raising taxes on everything they can think of in order to continue their out of control spending.
Common sense tells the average American families that during hard times to control spending, cut the waste, and work with a budget, the politicians answer to this crisis is to spend more and increase entitlement programs for the lazy. The people that truly need a hand up should get it, but the hand-outs have to stop.

Hard working tax payers of America need to wake up. We may have different beliefs, but the one thing we have in common is that we pay far too much in taxes. Taxes that encourage people to be lazy and taxes that allow politicians to spend our money with no consequences. I am sick and tired of my hard earned tax dollars going to people that whine, complain, and people with low or no self-esteem, no dignity and I object to my tax dollars being wasted going to lazy people in this country.
And I am fed up with politicians raising taxes on everything they can think of in order to continue their out of control spending.
Common sense tells the average American families that during hard times to control spending, cut the waste, and work with a budget, the politicians answer to this crisis is to spend more and increase entitlement programs for the lazy. The people that truly need a hand up should get it, but the hand-outs have to stop.

California v/s McDonalds
As the California legislature is looking into forcing the McDonald’s fast-food chain to drop the toy in the Kid’s Meal package they sell if an effort to curb kids away from fatty foods, I for one would like to know; who are these kids driving themselves to McDonald’s and buying these meals?
McDonald’s has over 450 restaurants in California and each location employs around 60 workers, that’s 27,000 jobs for this state which is a drop in the bucket to the top 6 largest employers in Los Angeles County, all of which are government agencies.
This county alone employs over 95,000, no wonder the state is broke.
Now they are threatening private businesses with socialistic laws. The last thing this state needs or this country for that matter is more laws, specifically laws that will cut more jobs.
The toy may be made out of the country but there are still many jobs along the way that would be eliminated if this toy is removed and what if McDonald’s decided it was no longer in their best interest to do business in California – 27,000 employees’ plus at least that many more that support the restaurants such as food suppliers, cleaning companies and landscaping services.
If these kids are getting too much fat and calories in their diets, I wouldn’t point the finger at McDonald’s as the problem. Maybe we should also outlaw videos games and computers.
If the parents of these kids would grow some stones and set the record straight instead of catering to and coddling them they’d have a better diet outlook and most likely we’d have much more respectable group of children in this world.
Can California afford to lose another 50,000+ jobs?

Geoffrey Fieger
I listened to Paul W. Smith on WJR Radio Show this morning as he interviewed Geoffrey Fieger.
Mr. Fieger was on talking about the death of his brother, the singer for the band “The Knack” who had passed away recently after a 6 year battle with cancer, his recent movie about his life and times with Dr. Jack Kevorkian that just aired on HBO over the weekend.
Mr. Fieger then moved the topic to his election as the democratic candidate against then sitting Governor John Engler. Governor Engler won a third term by a landslide.
Mr. Fieger still believes that taxes must be raised in this state, even though we have lost nearly a million residents. Michigan’s annual budget bottom line they must have to stay in business is around $33 billion but for some reason, the legislators in Lansing are working with budget in $47 billion range. This is $14 billion above what is needed to cover operating expenses for the year.
We as citizens and residents of this state have had to take it on the chin and pear down on what we spend. Prices for everything have gone up; food, gas, electricity, insurance and our government still wants to raise taxes. Our salaries, dollar for dollar are what they were in 1998 yet the cost of living has more than doubled.
Mr. Fieger wants to know where the funds will come from if taxes are cut even more. Well, if we lost a million residents, wouldn’t one assume we have fewer expenses now? If was feeding 2 kids and they moved out to be on their own, my costs would certainly go down.
His thinking and his party are what is wrong in this state. The demise of Detroit and some surrounding suburbs comes from the destruction of family values by substituting a welfare check to replace the father in the family and embedding the idea that people are “owed” something.
Nothing is ever free and everybody needs to contribute their part.
Republicans are always accused of supporting the rich while the democrats are support the poor.
My take is that the rich provide jobs to those that want to work while the democrats supply welfare checks for those that don’t.
Liberals always want to give away money as long as it is not their own, that’s why they support Democrats; they take from the middle class to give to the poor while the rich hide behind tax shelters that the democrats create.
They make these rules and laws so complicated that only the rich can afford to hire the accountants and attorneys to navigate through them.
Mr. Fieger also believes that a republican will win the Governor’s race no matter who is running this November, I can only hope he is right on this note.

Barack Hussein Alinsky
Why is it that Barrack Obama taught from Saul Alinsky’s book “Rules for Radicals” gave it as a gift to foreign dictators like the Kim Jong IL of North Korea and yet half of the people in this country don’t believe he is a radical himself nor has Marxists tendencies?
What will it take for these people to wake up and see what this man is doing to our country? Don’t “listen” to what he says, watch what he does.
The number one step to dismantling a country like ours is to drive a wedge in between our intelligence agencies like the CIA and FBI. In doing so Obama has made our nation incapable of defending its interests or its allies around the world by requiring all prisoners “of war” to be Mirandized in the field as they are captured.
His attorney general Eric Holder went on the attack trying to criminally charge intelligence officers and others that followed out the Bush administrations directives to garner info from captured terrorists. The method that was seen as inhumane -- water-boarding was approved by all of the people that now said they were against, like Hillary Clinton and Nancy Pelosi.
Obama and the democrats knew this would go nowhere but by causing these people a great deal of financial loss and effectively destroying their careers would surely detour other agents from effectively carrying out their work on new suspects.
Al Sharpton commented on Obama and stated that he didn’t know why the people of this country were surprised at Obama’s socialist politics; after all “they voted for a socialist”
Obama and the democrats against the will of the people (nearly 80% by all polls) voted in a socialist health care plan that will raise taxes on all Americans contrary to Obama’s promise not to. He also is not renewing the Bush tax cuts which raise taxes even further.
Obama thinks we should be on the same line as Western Europe and how is that working for them?
It’s not. Crime is rampant, unemployment has sky-rocketed and spending is out of control. They are looking to bring capitalism and free markets back because socialism does not work.
So what is your definition of a radical?

Governor Granholm
Michigan governor; Jenny “No Jobs” Granholm is one of Obama’s list of ten possibilities for the open Supreme Court seat.
Just a few weeks ago, Ms. Granholm was red faced when it was discovered that she had been on-stage in a photo-op congratulating a businessman for securing a state tax credit of $9.1 billion dollars to create 765 jobs in Flint by converting an old chassis plant into renewable energy plant.
Flint resident Richard Short the recipient of the tax credit did 6 years in prison for embezzling from a Muskegon battery maker and was convicted of bank fraud.
Greg Main head of the Michigan Economic Development Corporation should have been fired over this boondoggle. He was the one that approved the tax credit and worked with Mr. Shot for months setting up the plan. A five minute check on Google would have alerted the agency of this man’s background.
In November of 2006, Michigan residents approved a proposal to prohibit discrimination or preferential treatment based on race or gender in the operation of public employment, public education or public contracting in the State. Ms. Granholm, against the will of the people is still fighting to over-turn this amendment going all the way to the Supreme Court if necessary, yet another waste of tax payer dollars.
Ms. Granholm has raised or tried to raise taxes in 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010 included in the 2007 increase was the largest tax increase in Michigan’s history.
New York should take a look at Michigan, because this is what they are going to look like after Governor David Paterson gets through with them.
I think Ms. Granholm would fit right in with the Obama regimes plan to do to this country what she has done to Michigan, tax us out of prosperity and destroy our jobs.
We definitely should not reward her with a life-time job after the destruction she has caused here.

Slick Willie Clinton
Ex-president Slick Willie Clinton used the anniversary of the Oklahoma City bombing as a opportunity to attack the tea party groups by paralleling them to Timothy McVeigh stating that the “bombs haven’t exploded, yet”
This is a guy who became President, went to the extreme left -- and when the American people rose up against him by electing a majority to take control of the house, he had to turn back to the center and he has been pissed off about it ever since.
This is the same man that was impeached from the presidency for lying under oath about his sexual relationship with White House aide, Monica Lewinski. He also has an incredibly long list of women conquests which I’m sure he collected the majority of them while married to his wife.
He is also the same guy that had to spend millions if our tax dollars defending himself in court over the White Water Real estate scandal.
Mr. Willy also wrote that McVeigh and friends "took to the ultimate extreme an idea advocated in the months and years before the bombing by an increasingly vocal minority: the belief that the greatest threat to American freedom is our government, and that public servants do not protect our freedoms, but abuse them."
The last line of his statement is true. The servants of this country are the greatest threat to our freedoms. Who was it that passed health care against the will of the people? Who are they that continually raise taxes and attach our first and second amendment rights?
No other country or group has the power to undermine our security or our system only those in power that write the rules and laws can do that. By installing like-minded people into key positions as Obama has done with his staff and judicial appointments can one control the law.
If they want to pass health care as they have, which goes against our constitution, we can fight it in the courts but if Obama has installed the judges he wants, he will attain the outcome he wants regardless of what the people say.
Slick Willy needs to get a bus and some fishin’ poles, gather up Jimmy Carter and head out for some fly fishing in Canada or some other country that has some of that free health care and keep his mouth shut. Every time he opens his mouth, all I hear is “I did not have sexual relations with that woman”

Senate Investigative Committee
I received and email from Sen. Carl Levin (D-Mi) informing me of a committee he is forming to investigate the financial crisis. What a joke!
This is like the coyote guarding the hen house!
It was Barney Frank’s committee that was charged to over-see the banking and financial markets but they fell asleep as the contributions to their campaign funds kept growing with donations from Fannie and Freddie.
It was the democratic members of congress that let this happen. They made the rules to allow this to come about and now they want to “investigate” it? Give me a break.
Financial institutions bought huge packages of loans from Freddie and Fannie because the American taxpayer through the federal government insured them, but the democrats let Fannie and Freddie cheat so that the bad loans spread like cancer in our system.
The democrats lied, covered up and killed legislation to protect Freddie and Fannie; their cash cow. McCain, Bush and the republicans tried to stop it over and over again. Bush asked 15 times alone in his last year about the problems at Freddie and Fannie. Maxine Waters and Barney Frank denied any wrong doing all the while knowing that Franklin Raines was criminally cooking the books to line his pockets with millions in bonuses.
This “committee” set up by Sen. Levin is just another bit of political posturing trying to make up some ground from their move against our Constitution and against the will of the people by passing a health care bill that they knew we did not want.
These people have been forthright it telling us that the Constitution meant nothing to them, that they had no concerns over it when writing and passing laws that the Constitution gave them no powers to do.
If Sen. Levin is truly serious about this, lets set up a committee of citizens to investigate this crime against the American people and let the chips fall where they may.
