For sane people, there's no denying that Fannie and Freddie were the fountainhead of "mortgage backed securities" which brought about the real estate implosion. So leave the tea party movement out of you shenanigans. And by the way, I'm not a Republican. I have a little more spinal and intestinal fortitude than the jelly fish cohorts that inhabit the GOP.

Here's one more thing to be thankful for: we are still here despite the shenanigans and machinations of the 'Bamas.
True to form, and as I earlier emphasized in a recent book (see, p. 308 at http://www.flirtingwithmisadventures.com/aboutthebook.htm) Republicans just seem to be congenitally incapable of resisting the penchant to self-destruct without any prodding, or incentive of a prima facie political gain. Their urges to compromise seem as irresistible as the pre-pubescent initial awakenings of the libidinal hormones of adolescence.
The most recent and most prominent monument to institutionalized scapegoating is the Congressional Super Committee for debt reduction which was created precisely to deflect any accountability for the country’s economic woes falling on the Obama regime’s shenanigans and incompetence. How else could Obama be re-elected if nobody else takes the fall for the failing economy?

The main difference between Democrats and Americans is this: When one finds a problem, the Democrats look for somebody to blame it on, and Americans endeavor to fix it. This defines the essence of Americanism.

Eclecticism is simply incompatible with mathematical thinking. Secondly, he paid his dues in the private sector where the result of ones endeavors is more than anything else reckoned by the cumulative prudence of one’s judgment calls.

As a registered Independent, I am not a GOP primaries voter, so I can’t be possibly voting for Herman Cain. But I also said before if President Obama were running against a trash can, I’d vote for the trash can. At least it’s not going to knowingly and deliberately undermine the country’s chances at survival as a super power. Obama is intent on doing just that. There are 999 reasons to support Herman Cain and here's the first one, and his ethnicity should be the last of them: He is schooled in mathematics. His thinking process is doubtlessly rigorous. This means, among others, he does not cut & paste and/or photo-shop platitudinous talking points to come up with program to govern. Eclecticism is simply incompatible with mathematical

How exactly is skirt-chasing deleterious to ones ability to put back the economy on the right track eludes me. Is that because I have not chased enough skirts? The other side of the same question: Why is a politician's prurient proclivities deemed an asset to Democrats and a liability to Republicans? When Republicans get entagled iin sexual 'scandals' they are gone from the political landscape. When Democrats get into a similar tangle, they flourish in their exploits. So far the notable exceptions have been Wiener and Spitzer. The both had no qualms about flaunting their indiscretions.
