I just heard a Democrat Obama campaign Spokesperson LIE about McCain, now I'm reading about Lies here on NB, and if I change a channel to NBC, or ABC/CBS I'll probably hear more lies.  If you're black and you are an Obama Supporter you have permission to LIE ? ?

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 . . . They DID ANYWAY, and they FAILED to govern Mortgages and the Companies that Give them.

Maxine 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)

Ms. WATERS. Mr. Chairman, I would like to thank the gentleman from Massachusetts (Mr. Frank) for yielding me the time and for the job he has done to shape this legislation.

I would like to thank the gentleman from Ohio (Mr. Oxley) for the tremendous cooperation and the leadership that has been shown that helped to get bipartisan support for this legislation. When it left our committee, it was a good bill. It was a bill that even some people who had not wanted to support it went along with, because in the final analysis, it was going to bring about reform of the GSEs.

Now, some of us know that there is a need for reform with the GSEs. We are concerned. We do not want them carrying debt that is not shown, that we do not understand, because we do not want these humongous general services enterprises to somehow get in trouble and we have to bail them out the way we did with the S&Ls.

So despite the fact that we think there was an effort by some on the opposite side of the aisle to basically deal with the some of the arguments of the banks and savings and loans about the GSEs being too big, getting too retail, basically taking over their markets, we support reform; and we voted for the bill because we support reform.

Because of the vision of the gentleman from Massachusetts (Mr. Frank), we were able to do something for working people and for poor people by creating this very, very special arrangement that could be used for the production and preservation of low-income affordable housing, this kind of set aside.

It would be the after-tax profit from these GSEs that will be used to produce low-income housing. And so despite the fact that for years there has been kind of a confrontation between the GSEs and the banks and S&Ls about market share and all of that, we thought it made good sense to make sure that the GSEs were not too big, carrying too much debt. So this reform is good.

But what is absolutely mind-boggling about what has happened, from the time the bill left committee until the time it has reached the floor today, is this politicizing of the fund by some of those on the opposite side of the aisle who never supported this fund for low- and moderate-income housing to begin with.

What did they do? After the bill left committee, they decided that they were going to try to put some unconstitutional boundaries on nonprofits, and I guess profit-making organizations alike, that would not allow them to participate in the production of low- and moderate-income housing no matter what the need, no matter what the crisis, if, in fact, they exercised their constitutional rights to assist people and lead people in doing voter registration.

That is so unbelievable because, number one, it is unconstitutional. It is absolutely unconstitutional. This government has shown that it indeed supports reaching out to the citizens of this country to encourage them to be involved in voting and participating in this democracy. We have the Motor Voter Act, which says motor vehicle departments all over the country, when people register their vehicles, encourage them to vote; give them voter regulation slips; do whatever you can to get them involved in the political process. We are on record with doing that.

And now to have those Members from the opposite side of the aisle say that you cannot produce low-income housing if you exercise your constitutional right by helping people to get registered to vote is absolutely mind-boggling. And let me tell you what is even more mind-boggling about this. We know that we have gone through some terrible, terrible times recently here in this country, down in Florida, where there were databases that were developed of people supposedly who had been incarcerated and committed felonies that were supposedly not allowed to vote. But it turned out to be fraudulent databases.

We have had attempts to stop people and discourage them from voting by having uniformed officers question them when they come into the polling place. I would think that they would not want to continue with that kind of reputation.

I will not vote for this bill no matter how much it is needed, as long as the constitutional rights are violated

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.

Noel.. powerful and needed material. Thanks. 

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?

One bit to add to the wonderful video clip:

New Agency Proposed to Oversee Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae "The Bush administration today recommended the most significant regulatory overhaul in the housing finance industry since the savings and loan crisis a decade ago." NY Times Sept. 10, 2003.

Wonder if the NY Times is aware that they have archives? (;~/ gary

I 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.

They will all need bigger refrigerators at home to stash the cash.......invest in Whirpool or Fridgidaire

Amazing how the Repulicans are held to a higher standard. Can you guys imagine the venom from the media and the left if Cheney or some other Republicans did this?

Silence is golden...when it comes the msm and their party.

Agenda...all that matters, all that ever will when they have absolutely no accountability...therefore the dem congress-critters have none either.

Pretty little scenario that has been working for decades...and getting worse.

....things are looking bleak.

"America isn't the problem...America is the solution." ~ Rush Limbaugh

...and the party in power they will of course get always more money from PACs, but isn't it interesting how the Dems, the defender of the little people and the paragons of virtue and fairness, continually rake in the tons of bucks from all the different industries that are supposedly screwing us over?

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.

Bill Maher's show?  Oh, that's just an entertainment program.  Nothing newsworthy ever happens there.

They act like 3 and 4 year olds, lying because they are trying to shore up poor self image.
