Bloody Sunday: Wall Street Is Hit by Financial Tsunami

21

I’m not defending McCain for Keating 5 but some facts should be presented here.

**Revisiting McCain’s Keating 5 history

Oh BTW-The Keating 5 were 4 Democrats and McCain :wink:

**After a lengthy investigation, the Senate Ethics Committee determined in 1991 that Alan Cranston, Dennis DeConcini, and Donald Riegle had substantially and improperly interfered with the FHLBB in its investigation of Lincoln Savings. Senators John Glenn and John McCain were cleared of having acted improperly but were criticized for having exercised “poor judgment”.

22

Well now we have bald faced liar joining in on the fun.

Duh! Most everyone knows you can’t leave rep to the same person twice in the same day.:frowning:

More gutless Democrats.

Bloody Sunday: Wall… 9/15/08 1:45 PM wrong. typo correction.

23

Kinda helps you understand why John Kerry’s first choice for a running mate was John McCain in 2004…who would have considered it had he not already begun his 2008 campaign.

Why be a Republican to vote for a Democrat?:roll:

24

Senators John Glenn and John McCain were cleared of having acted improperly but were criticized for having exercised “poor judgment”.

25

How many other presidential candidates in history have been officially found and reprimanded, by their peers in the congress, to have “poor judgment”?

You see, when the soccer mom with lipstick leaves the room…this is what we are left with.

Okay…now it’s time for you to say something about Obama that makes this go away…

26

The balls in your court James. You tell me.:wink:

I didn’t look. Did you?

27

None.

A congressional sanction…except in this case…has always been the political kiss of death.

The public has a short memory. Perhaps the news media, as we get closer to election day, will help the public with its short memory and confront him with some of these facts.’

He’s had it pretty easy, up to now.

28

You’re kidding, right?

29

Back on topic.:slight_smile:

Some here would have you believe that Bush’s policies are responsible for the Lehman Bros. crash.

Quite the opposite. They were allowed to fail and that’s the way it should be.

Looks like our government has decided to stop bailing out billionaires.

How sad. :sarcasm:

Now let;s see who Lehman Bros. contributed too. Hmmmm. What does it all mean?

Members of the 110th Congress who have received c****ampaign contributions from Lehman Brothers, 1989-2008](http://www.opensecrets.org/news/2008/09/brothers-grim-is-lehman-next.html)

I don’t care who you are… Thats funny! :smiley:

31

I agree. It was funny and pathetic at the same time.:slight_smile:

32

Nope. Just watch.

33

I think is beyond dispute that Obama has been the least vetted presidential candidate in decades.

Talk about having a easy time. :shock:

34

Some would venture to say Phil Gramm had a hand in the mess we are currently in.

Except that ding bat palin, she is too busy on the porch watching the russians.

That’s odd.:roll:

He seems to be missing from this donor’s list

I guess they gave to the wrong guys.:roll:

36

Maybe if we had real watch dog groups on top of predatory lenders to begin with, this never would have happened.

Guys like me get shouted down , then the message (warning) forgotten later as everyone rushes to place blame.

So maybe some interference on these mega corps is not such a bad thing . ehhhh!

37

Donor list? That’s all you got? still rong:twisted: :mrgreen:

39

There is much much more Mr. rong:p

This mess has been building for a long time.

As long as the “too big to fail” firms knew the Fed would bail them they got reckless.

Today the Fed is saying no more no way. It’s about time.

Now those who actually factor in real risks to their capital can thrive.

Add to that the fact that many Dems encouraged borrowing to those that were poor credit risks to help their constituency and we have come to the current mess.

Still wONG wAYNEDEAR.

Palin might buy your mumbo jumbo, but it is not based in realty.:frowning:

McCain was against regulation before he was for it.

Free Marketeers unite, we don’t need no stinking regulation, we are the Federal-es.:wink:

Why does McCain’s name always pop up during a banking crisis??? Hmmmmm Coincidence???:twisted::twisted:
