Maxine Waters, a key Democrat congresswoman that has been implicated in blocking government oversight that could have prevented the current financial crisis, was caught lying Friday evening about her connection to failed lenders Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.
During the panel discussion of HBO's "Real Time," Waters was challenged by the Wall Street Journal's Stephen Moore about the campaign contributions she's received from these government sponsored enterprises.
Despite what public records clearly show, Waters denied she had ever taken any money from these two companies (video embedded right courtesy our dear friend MsUnderestimated):
BILL MAHER, HOST: When John McCain was at the Saddleback Ranch, I mean Church...I always call it a ranch; and he was asked a question, they both were, by Rick Warren, you know, "what do you do about evil?" and he said DEFEAT IT!
STEPHEN MOORE, WALL STREET JOURNAL: That's a good answer!
MAHER: Right. But it might take him two terms. And Obama said...he had a very different answer. He said "Be humble about it." Because he was trying to say, you know, ‘evil, it's not something you can really defeat because there's no devils out there.' Sorry.
{audience laughter}
MAHER: The devil is within us, you know. And when I see what went on on Wall Street the last eight years, that's evil to me. That's the evil within us.
{raucous applause}
MAHER: You don't see that?
MOORE: I do!MAHER: What about...I mean, don't you think they need regulation? People say ‘well, they don't need regulation because, you know what, it was just because they got greedy!' Of course, they went to work on Wall Street! Who goes to work on Wall Street except greedy bastards?
MOORE: Is there something wrong with wanting to make money?
MAHER: No, but you have to regulate it! That's where the problem is; that there was no regulation.
MOORE: Well, let's talk about regulation. One of the insti...the biggest institutions that's failed this year was Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. This is an institution that your friends, the Democrats... in fact you, Congresswoman, did not want to regulate...
REP. MAXINE WATERS (D-CA): ...I believed...I believed...
MOORE: ...you said it wasn't broke, you said it wasn't broke, you said it wasn't broke five years ago at a Congressional hearing, and you took $15,000 of campaign contributions from Fannie and Freddie.
WATERS: ...no I didn't.
MOORE: Yeah, you did, it's in the Senate (inaudible)...
WATERS: No it's not.
{inaudible cross-talk}
MOORE: You took money from the PAC.
WATERS: Wait just a minute, just a minute...
MOORE: ... and so did Barney Frank, and so did Chris Dodd.
WATERS: That is a lie and I challenge you...
MOORE: Okay.
WATERS: ...to find $15,000 that I took from Fannie PAC...
Okay, Congresswoman, I'll take that challenge, for the Center for Responsive Politics' OpenSecrets.org reported the following on September 11:
When the federal government announced two months ago that it would prop up mortgage buyers Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, CRP looked at how much money members of Congress had collected since 1989 from the companies. On Sunday the government completely took over the two government-sponsored enterprises, and we've returned to our data to bring you the updates, this time providing a list of all 354 lawmakers who have gotten money from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac (in July we posted the top 25). These totals are based on data released electronically from the FEC on Sept. 2 and include contributions to lawmakers' leadership PACs and candidate committees from the floundering companies' PACs and employees. Current members of Congress have received a total of $4.8 million from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, with Democrats collecting 57 percent of that. This week we also wrote about how much money lawmakers had invested of their own money in the companies last year--a total of up to $1.7 million. [...]
Name Office State Party Grand Total Total from PACs Total from Individuals
Waters, Maxine H CA D $17,800 $15,000 $2,800
As such, Moore was right, and Waters was lying through her teeth.
For those interested, during a 2004 Congressional hearing about Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, Waters said:
Through nearly a dozen hearings, we were frankly trying to fix something that wasn’t broke. Mr. Chairman, we do not have a crisis at Freddie Mac, and particularly at Fannie Mae, under the outstanding leadership of Franklin Raines.
With this in mind, as odd as it might seem, for the second week in a row, a panelist on "Real Time" actually divulged information about Democrat involvement in the current financial crisis that most mainstream media outlets continue to hide from the public. With stocks cratering, and a serious economic contraction looming, one has to wonder when America's "serious" media will follow suit and expose the truth behind the current crisis.
After all, in 2006, the word "macaca" and solicitous e-mail messages from a little-known congressman were headline news for weeks, and were largely responsible for the Democrats taking back the Senate and the House. Of course, all this attention came despite the misstatement by then Sen. George Allen (R-Virg.) and the behavior of Rep. Mark Foley (R-Fl.) no way threatening the finances of Americans or our very economy.
There is absolutely no question that if Maxine Waters was a Republican that had blocked GSE reform this decade, and was caught lying on national television about campaign contributions from Fannie and Freddie, this would be headline and front-page news for days with full-scale coverage of how she and others in her Party were responsible for the current calamity.
Yet, it seems almost a metaphysical certitude that with about three weeks to go before Election Day, the Obama-loving media are going to keep this matter buried long enough to get their candidate in the White House.
Frankly, I'm not sure what Americans should be more concerned about: falling stocks and a looming recession or Democrats being completely in control of the nation's major press outlets.

WTF is going on in American Politics ? Every Guest lies about themselves and muddies the water. Used to, we had an Occaisional MSM Talking Head we could trust who would blow the whistle, now we have Talking Heads skinny dipping in the Tank with the Politician who Ignore any Washington Times articles, and FBI arrests for ACORN, and generally Assault Palin's supposed crime of "Exceeding her Authority"......You wanna talk about "Exceeding Authority", I did NOT authorize Congress to "Govern" mortgages . . .

Sat, 10/11/2008 - 13:40 ET by MazziThis is simply the next stage of the game. Libs know that they have a better than 90% chance of never being called on a lie. So, why not lie? If they get caught, they just mumble stuff about "out of context" or "mis-speaking" or "not understanding the question", and that's that.
If you saw the O'Reilly ripping of Frank, it was not 10 seconds after O'Reilly played the tape - Frank speaking on camera, that Frank denied he said it! Not TEN SECONDS!
That used to be called audacity. Now it's just politics as usual. These people know that they have no ethical barameter to meet, so why not go all out. Getting indignant and daring someone to prove them wrong just makes them look that much more honest. By the time the proof is produced, the voting public, who have brains the size of peanuts, will have forgotten the question.
It's sickening.

Maxine Waters and the Federal Housing Finance Reform Act of 2005
Sat, 10/11/2008 - 14:28 ET by Par for the CourseMaxine Waters voted for the Federal Housing Finance Reform Act of 2005 while it was in committee (the housing subcommittee, I believe), but didn't vote for it when it came to the floor. She seemed to be inconsolable about an amendment that was attached to the bill, that would not allow non-profit organizations that receive housing grants to use that money for voter registration drives. (Sounds like she wanted money to go to Acorn to me).
From the Congressional Record: October 26, 2005 (House)
I wonder if Congresswoman Waters has any ties to Acorn.
The Bill was passed/agreed to in the House on 10/26/2005: Passed by recorded vote: 331 - 90.
On 10/31/2005 The Bill was referred to Senate: Received in the Senate and Read twice and referred to the Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs.
I believe Senate Democrats on the Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs Committee killed the bill.
What in the world
Sat, 10/11/2008 - 20:57 ET by NorthCoasterWhat in the world is it about programs like this that drives Socialists to siphon money off?

Oh, and yelling racism at us will not work this time 'cause we've heard that song for so long it no longer sticks. hehe!
Listen carefully: There is a united hum across this nation and it's building to a loud roar-it is the voice of the frustrated American taxpayers and we will not let you and your dem buddies cheat us out of BILLIONS and retain your seat on the hill....this is not the last election!

I've been loath to say it publicly for fear of being labled a nut job but, I really believe there is a second American Civil War in our future. It won't be about "state's rights" or "slavery". It'll be a battle of Socialism and Freedom. It's only my gut reaction, but there is a tide of anger and frustration rising across the nation. I have this sense that our blessed republic is slipping away right before our eyes. I don't believe we've reached a tipping point yet. But there's one coming. I can just feel it.

They are already getting weary of getting kicked around and lied to. This could be the beginning of something totally unplanned and the hum may be the sound of Americans' finely tuned radar, sensing a threat to our freedoms. Let's just hope that as Americans awaken, they express it at the voting booth in overwhelming numbers. If not, well.. it's not like we haven't been there before. Courage is NOT something decent Americans have ever lacked. Just check out our military and our vets. Hoo-rah!

Imagine the power of the people, we the people - we the voters, in this country if they were armed with a sense of the truth. For goodness sakes, even Alec Baldwin, when convinced by a friend of his of the truth here, suddenly became a citizen again with a voice of reason.
In fact, perhaps a slight defense of the soul of Baldwin is in order. Without a doubt, most of us would agree that the man has been a disgrace to the the subject of ethical and civil discourse; to the concept of "useful and truthful speech." Is it because Baldwin, like so many more, has become so twisted (biased) and angry because he simply has not been exposed to the other sane and truthful facts and views? We could argue that it's his responsibility to tune into Fox and to NNB and to read IBD ocassionally, but should not the citizens of this coutry expect that the broad media would some sense of the truth to the poeople? Just a little taste of this truth perhaps has awakened a tiny bit of decency and fairnes inside of him?

The big problem is that all
Sat, 10/11/2008 - 15:11 ET by fitzfongThe big problem is that all of the crooks...Frank, Pelosi, William Jefferson, Maxine Waters, Waxman, etc...are in strategically safe, heavily partisan districts. These individuals will never lose their Congressional seats unless the law sprouts some and carries them out in shackles. The only way to neutralize these scumbags is to focus attention on defeating the locally vulnerable, usually first-term "Blue Dog" Democrats. Tie the likes of that phony Heath Schuler to Reid, Pelosi and the Congressional Democrats who have ruined the economy, and you could bounce "Stretch" and "The Body" back where they belong in the minority (and then go all out to stick one on Reid when he runs for reelection in 2010). If you defeat the first-term "Blue Dogs" locally, you reduce the authority of Stretch, the Gay Pimp, Nostrilitis the Dwarf, the Freezer Bagger and that lunatic Maxine nationally. But the RNC isn't that smart, unfortunately.
"Government's view of the economy could be summed up in a few short phrases: If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. And if it stops moving, subsidize it." -Ronald Reagan

You are correct about them
Sat, 10/11/2008 - 15:50 ET by cocodrieYou are correct about them being safe. I live in the suburbs so I am not in Refrigerator Jefferson's district. I so far have not been able to contact my dead friends and relatives in the city to get them to come back and vote against him. Maybe I'll get ACORN to contact and register them, even drive them to the polls on election day.
The last 8 years, or the 4 before that?
Sat, 10/11/2008 - 15:43 ET by Gary HallMaher said: "And when I see what went on on Wall Street the last eight years, that's evil to me."
Well, it seems most everyone in the MSM and the Democratic party is saying that, are they not?
Could not they have said, "..on Wall Street the last 12 years?"
Or, in the 2004 race, ".. on Wall Street the last 8 years?"
Or, in the 2000 race, "..on Wall Street the last 4 years?"
I mean "they," from their point of view. I'll give them their point of view on greed on Wall Street - but for goodness sakes, the last 4 years of the Clinton era bubble economy was just a wee bit full of corporate greed. Enron, WorldCom, Global Crossing, Anderson Cooper, the CA energy crisis of 2000, etc. Not to mention a stock market - $10 Trillion over value in March, 2000.
And how did the CEO's do in the 90's under Bill Clinton's "fair hand for the working class?"
For the record, the ratio for 2007 has now dropped to 344:1.
Take a close look at the graph. From about 1993 to 2000. See what I see? The Democrats and the MSM always push this,and similar, issues as proof that the evil mean Republicans are the ones behind the CEO's getting more than their share - of not caring about the workers. This is evil for Bill Maher (wonder how much he makes?); but it's only the Republicans. Anyone remember the progressive left, the MSM and the comic activists making this an issue for the Gore/Bush contest in 2000?
And of course, that era crashed in March, 2000 - that is what sent those silly little projected $5Trillion in ever growing budget surpluses back into deficts - that was the most critical element in the return to deficits. There were to be no surpluses once the bubble burst.
Only in America!
Sat, 10/11/2008 - 16:04 ET by pbthinkerI was just looking on Drudge and there's an article posted about the Democrats, looking forward to winning the presidency and increasing their margins in Congress, might come back for a lame duck session to pass some legislation mostly, from the looks of it, the pork they couldn't get in the original bale out bills. Only in America, with the media we see highlighted here every day, could a party with their fingerprints all over this crisis, be planning on winning so much.
What is it with Hollyweird and SNL, actually pointing out the Democrats have problems with this stuff? Now, if the alphabet newscasts would figure this out, perhaps we could have a real election. Instead, it's up to the Republican candidate to point out Obama's relationships and new media outlets to point out how their policies are all over this.
I haven't seen it mentioned too much; but didn't I hear Barney Frank, just this week, accusing the Republicans of being racists because of their complaints about Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac? Where is that mentioned in the MSM? I'd make that a campaign ad and just say, "You wonder why Republicans didn't do anything about this when they had the power?" Democrats don't debate issues, they demogogue them and the media just repeats their lies.
Democrats: Stuck on Stupid since 2000.
Cutting out the middleperson
Sat, 10/11/2008 - 16:09 ET by jaywlNow that Fannie and Freddie are wholly owned by the people and after the election it looks as the entire government will be owned by the Dems it appears we will have a more efficient system of wealth creation than anyone dreamed possible. Taxpayers can pay taxes directly to Pelosi, Waters, Boy Barney. The old way of the money going through so many hands; Banks, poor people, Treasury, campaign committees until the proper bank account is credited is ridiculous. Then there is the oversight people; FEC, the Fed, RTC, FHA...not to mention the courts, special prosecutors, hearings! My God, this is much simpler. After January 2009 the bribe money could be inserted into a bill quietly, no hearings, no readings, no veto, no press, no audit. But really the question is, why bother appropriating enough money for Fannie to pass around when we can have Direct Deposit, its the American Way!

BHO and Hillary received the most money this election cycle from the investment and securities industy; BHO received more money in 4 years from the mortgage industry than anyone else id in TWENTY years except for Chris Dodd, another Dem etc.

They are the ones that got us into this mess and taking OUR money to try and fix it.

Know what I mean?
the majority of people do not realize when these suits are brought and won upon on, let alone the outrageous cut/agreement the lawyers get...that they who are cheering for most of these cases are the real losers...it always comes out of our pockets...one way or the other.
Now if it is against people who produce and it stifles or stops your business, therefore your employees...you never win, even if you win in court.
I am rambling on too long...it is a vicious cycle created by the socialists/RINOs... we need torte' reform in the worst way in this country it isn't funny...some businesses would come back..and the ones left here could produce and add to the economy.
Get rid of capital gains taxes, rules/regulation burdens, torte reform, the country/economy would hum right along..and employment would increase for all in big and small communities.
...this country would thrive.
