McCain right in the center of Fannie Mae lobbyist

[sauvesean]

Yes, I am a racist and a redneck.  I wasn't even born in the states. I am not even Republican. You're prejudice outshines your ignorance.

I am right, you are wrong. Try to have a debate without throwing childish names at people.

[floatingcapital]

You certainly have a lot in common.

[sauvesean]

Why? Because I tell the truth, unlike you who can't face reality.

[floatingcapital]

No, the opposite: you are both ignorant and devoid of facts.

Good bye child. I am done with you.

[sauvesean]

You never started with me. Don't pretend like you pay attention to people you disagree with.

[floatingcapital]

You must be thinking of how the Bush Administration has behaved over the last eight years.

Typical Republican projection.

[sauvesean]

I see you;ve learned a lot from your President. Im not even an American, why do you keep calling me a republican you narrow-minded fool?

[floatingcapital]

He's not my president. He is a crook, liar and a warmonger.

You sound just like the bullshit I've been listening to in this country for the last 8 years. If I am mistaken, my apologies, but I doubt it.

[sauvesean]

Typical Obama supporter, blame everything on Bush. That seems to be the only thing you can come up with these days. You have no grasp of history, economics, or morality, so you think you can make up for that with comparing people to Bush.

[floatingcapital]

Now you are making no sense.

[sauvesean]

LOL. Of course I'm not making sense to you. You have no concept of the word!

[sauvesean]

You can try to change the subject to Bush if you'd like, but that wont change the fact that you have shown utter discontent for the truth.

[floatingcapital]

Where?

[jlenaghan]

This little bitch McCain needs to go down.

[PalemoonSun]

lees20022,

McCain took $24+ million from the folks involved in the bailout and current crisis across the board. That's according to the opensecrets website.

And McCain never became a co-sponsor of that bill your own GOP Congress wouldn't pass, until May 25, 2006 according to the Library of Congress.

Research before you blindly post comments and make errors.

One last thing, I despise CNN as much as Fox. Both are right-wing propaganda houses. Most of the talking heads on CNN are republicans.

[sauvesean]

Bush warned every year about Fannie and Freddie. Obama continues to lie and say that this is Bush's fault.

[floatingcapital]

SO What About FM&FM? That's not the problem you dipshit.

[sauvesean]

You can use your insults how you like, it doesn't change the fact that F&F were the leaders of the pact in subprime mortgages. They bought high risk loans and made it seem like they were making huge profits. The rest of the banking community only followed suit. There are economists that can explain this much better than I can, but I find it surprising that you havent been paying attention but yet insult people who are on the right track.

[floatingcapital]

You are so wrong, but this is typical of you ignorant racist lazy redneck Republicans.

Again, not an insult, just the way it is. I pity you.

[lees20022]

In the decription of the donors at the end, CNN is being misleading once again.

The donors linked to Fannie and Freddie that contributed to McCain are mainly regulators that have been warning that reform of both was necessary.

CNN has lost all it's credibility and this is just another example of the reason for that.

[lees20022]

McCain co-sponsored a bill back in 2005 to regulate Fannie Mae and Bernie Mac, which all the Democrats voted against it causing it not to progress.

Obama stayed silent on the issue all these years.

Now who is in the pocket of these lobbbyist???

take a wild guess?

[PalemoonSun]

I am so glad that someone posted a video about McCain's ties. Thank you floatingcapital. And according to opensecrets website, McCain's top 5 contributors are involved in the bailout, like merrill lynch, goldman sachs, citigroup, morgan stanley and jp morgan chase. He also took lots of money from Lehman Brothers (where Jeb Bush works) along with UBS, Bear Stearns, Bank of America and Wachovia. All involved in the bailout bill. No wonder McCain voted for it.

[roonalwazlib]

Would that be the same Wachovia that bought 24billion dollars worth of subprime loans from Herbert and Marion Sandler (allies of billionaire liberal douche bag George Soros, the same man that paid researchers to tell the world the bald faced lie that US troops have killed over 1 million Iraqi civilians just before the 2006 Congressional elections) just before the housing market crashed in 2006leaving them holding the bag while they parachuted away to safety and Wachovia crashed and burned.

[roonalwazlib]

Go ahead and present me with your "unbaised facts" so I can LMAO.

[floatingcapital]

Facts have no bias. McCain received far more loot from FM lobbyists than Obama. He even hired one to run his campaign! Rick Davis!

[roonalwazlib]

Rick Davis worked as a lobbyist for a whole bunch of different interest groups. In any case it doesn't matter what Rick Davis did or didn't do. McCain still voted to increase regulatory oversight of Fannie and Freddie. Obama, Frank, Dodd, Shcummer, and his voter fraud buddies at ACORN (the ones the Dems tried to give a 20% of all returns made from selling bailout assets to) were against it. Bush and the Republicans tried to get regulatory overhaul of FM/FM passes numerous times. Dems blocked it.

[floatingcapital]

Even if you were right, which you aren't, so what? McCain is a psycho right-wing nut job who has been suckling at the political teat of the Bush Administration since they pwned his ass in '00.

You want 4 more years of the last 8? Good luck with that.

[adamsohn1001]

For every $10,000 deposited into a bank the bank can loan $9,000 or 90% of that. So for ever $10,000 the banks creates a number that approaches the limit $100,000 in money that can be loaned if the loans after changing hands are deposited back into banks. Anybody who regulated Fannie or Freddie or any banks for that matter would greatly decrease the ammount of money in circulation slowing the economy. NOBODY, REPUBLICANS OR DEMOCRATES, WANTED THAT. People building more houses is the problem!!!!

[terynclarke]

Fannie and Freddie wanted their reserves to be 2% because their loans of up to 100% loan to value to people with poor credit "were so safe." That's way below the percentage the FDIC requires for banks to remain solvent and an obvious reason why Freddie and Fannie's paper is not worth much.

[colossus48]

He took their money, if that is even accurate...and still tried to regulate them, so he actually did something. They don't say that Obama sat by and did nothing...

Obama - "Thanks for the campaign contributions (money) guys, I have your backs..."

McCain - "Thanks for the campaign contributions (money) guys, but we still need to regulate you, I'm sorry but this is getting out of control..." Thanks Mr. Maverick!!!

[floatingcapital]

Wrong. Obama received donations from the EMPLOYEES of Fannie Mae.

McCain received donations from LOBBYISTS, OFFICIALS AND AGENTS of Fannie Mae.

There's a big difference which most right wingers constantly dismiss because it lays their false claims bare.

Obama has the backs of the workers, McCain has the backs of the Lobbyists. In fact he even let one of them run his campaign: Rick Davis!

[roonalwazlib]

CNN's truth squad is a joke. Anyone who takes the word of CNN and the NYT over the Center for Responsive Politics is just plain stupid. Obama got money from lobbyists employed by FM/FM, their PAC's (politically motivated special interest groups), and their business as usual emloyees.

[floatingcapital]

Those are the facts, regardless of who is carrying them.

McCain received far more money from FM lobbyist than Obama. In fact, he even hired one to run his campaign: Rick Davis!

[sauvesean]

Dems are to blame for the mortgage meltdown, plain and simple. Try to slice it how you want, you will always come up short. The facts do not support anything but that.

[sauvesean]

You want to talk people running campaigns? Obama hired the CEO of Fannie Franklin Raines, as well as the chairman Jim Johnson. I could mention some other CEOs from predatory lending banks that are now on Obama's campaign team, but I'm tired of wasting my time on you, the loser of losers.

[floatingcapital]

Obama NEVER hired Franklin Raines. You are a fool.

[roonalwazlib]

According to Obama and Raines he never did. You're a fool if you believe that. Another "not friend" thrown under the Obama train.

[sauvesean]

I am a fool? You are the one who posted this garbage video.

[floatingcapital]

If you cease to post foolish tripe, I will cease to call you a fool. OK?

[sauvesean]

Remove this video and I will stop calling you the fool.

[sauvesean]

Dems are to blame for the financial crisis. Neither candidate for President will do this coujntry any good, since they both think FDR was the saviour of the Great Depression, which is the Great Lie of that era.

[roonalwazlib]

You can keep saying they're facts all you want. It doesn't make it so. PAC's are special interest groups and PAC's use lobbyists they employ to contribute to political campaigns. The members and lobbyists of those PAC's are the source of Obama's Fannie and Freddie money. Period. Open Secrets is right. CNN and the NYT are full of shit as are you.

[sauvesean]

The stats being listed in this video only contain CAMPAIGN funds given by the regulators and other agents of Fannie and Freddie. They do not include the thousands of dollars that Obama has received in the past twenty years. Do us all a favor and stop posting purposeful misrepresentations of the facts. Reminds me of the saying "figures don't lie but liars can figure."

[roonalwazlib]

There are lies, damn lies, and then there are statistics.

[roonalwazlib]

Douche bags!

[roonalwazlib]

The New York Times is the source for this claim. The people that refused to print McCain's op-ed. You expect anyone other than kool aid drinking Obamaniacs to believe that horse shit! LMAO! How about showing just the FEC data without the New York Times filter. I'll go with the non partisan Center for Responsive Politics for the factual claim on this one and leave the horse shit mathematics to all you kool aid drinking comment posters. Honestly though your comments are laughably disgusting.

[floatingcapital]

Too funny. Co-opting the kool-aid line. That's what we've been saying about you numbskulls for the last eight years.

[JakiiRSM]

roonal Members of major POW/MIA family organizations know the real John McCain and they despise him. They saw firsthand his cruel angry temperament.

In 1996 McCain encountered a group of POW/MIA family members outside a Senate hearing room. They had worked tirelessly during the Vietnam War to make sure Hanoi released all POWs including POW McCain. McCain immediately began quarreling with them. These are legitimate family members concerned with their loved ones. Make up anything you want.

[JakiiRSM]

Has anyone seen the video of McCain a few years back at some hearings for POW's and MIA's? He was incredibly rude, & angry. I felt so sorry for the relative he lambasted. He then got up and stormed out of the meeting. This is who some want as president, and who touts being behind our vets? Check his voting record, he's voted against most vet bills. They don't even like him. He is a liar on many major concerns of the American people. They need to research this guy.

[roonalwazlib]

Oh wait maybe he was rude b/c he was dealing with scumbag POW/MIA con men like Ted Sampley and his government protector Bob Smith. And the bit about him voting against vets is horse shit too. He actually had his own veterans benefits bill that he drew up which would make the educational benefits transferable to the families of military veterans and would provide incentives for staying in the military. Once he got those provisions added he voted for the new GI bill.

[JakiiRSM]

Anyone who is for numbskull McLameBrain and his sidekick the wilderness lady should get some help. When will you people ever wake up to these disgusting people you choose to support? All you neocons are exactly the same, you become hysterical when someone presents you with the facts. Your so called facts are way off base. FYI I get my informatiion from unbiased independant sources, yours are very questionable.

[roonalwazlib]

Last time I checked the Center for Responisve Politics and the American Enterprise Institute along with govtrack where all unbiased sources. CNN and the NYT that cobbled this crap together are anything but unbiased. The directors and officers linked to FM/FM include the people REGULATING Fannie and Freddie and trying to warn people about the corrupt practices and mismanagement going on at FM/FM. That's how they were "linked" to McCain and FM/FM.

[JakiiRSM]

roonal You need to do more intensive research. CNN are biased, huh, but bet you listen intently to FAUX, and hang on every word!! FYI factcheck tends to lean to the Right. No matter what I told you you would still LYAO, so why bother. BTW are all you neocons LYAO over superficial Palin? All of a sudden she has all the answers What a joke... but she couldn't name one supreme court ruling she disagreed with! How about the Valdez ruling Doggone it? LOL

[roonalwazlib]

What about unbiases or non-partisan don't you understand? The Center for Responsive Politics is not factcheckdotorg (if anything factcheck leans left in what they choose not to discuss concerning Democratic party lies and half truths) and it is unbiased. I never said Palin has all the answers you bleeding heart douche bag but she does have a better grasp of the VP position than Joe Biden since it actually is part of both the legislative and executive branches despite what Biden said.

[Salsassin]

Palin has a grasp of what? She was forced to hire an Administrator, she is a Senator for the state with the largest Oil subsidies out there, so the economy is nothing like the US. She left her city in debt as a Mayor, etc, etc, etc. She has no clue on the national and international level.

[JakiiRSM]

roonal This is NOT about who you are referring to. Nov. 11,92 Dolores Apodaca Alfond, chair. of the Nat. Alliance of POW/MIA Families (her pilot brother Capt. Victor J. Apodaca a MIA in North Vietnam), was testifying at the Senate Select Committee on POW/MIA Affairs. McCain rushed into the hearing room to confront her.

McCain's face was red & angry and his voice very loud, Making a fist he shook his index finger at her. She tried to speak with tears in her eyes, and he kept interrupting her.

[CBALLEN]

McCain got his money over a 20 + year period so that's not saying much.The Dems are definitely responsible for not doing ANYTHING to avert this crash even after the Reps.brought it to light many,many times.There are many past c-span hearing tapes that show the Dems being COLD BUSTED by playing the race card to giving F&F a clean bill of health almost shaming the REPS.for bringing it up.Now WE ARE REAPING WHAT THEY SOWED.

[Searay89]

you obamabots are a joke...lol...lol

[flashback950]

Poor judgement is McCain's highest achievement!

[ILuvBobbyDarin]

Lying snake McShame

[Kflash3782]

The guy in brown shirt and sunglasses, "Obama, Obama..." (:48 sec)...lol!

[SinzyG]

McCain=Lies

[givebirthathome]

Its really disturbing. Have you seen the one at the Young Turks where they discussed how its likely McCain stole his story of being inspired by faith in prison from Solzhenitsyn?

[flashback950]

At Saddleback, McCain talked of his faith as a POW. It definately seemed scripted NOT heartfelt....sad he had to reach that low.

[givebirthathome]

I wonder how many people felt that way. It seems to me there are so many people whose reactions are indeed like "pressing buttons".

[JakiiRSM]

flashback950 Saddleback is a church I used to attend. I consider it very dishonest when we were told McCain was secured where he could not listen to questions put to Obama. The truth was he hadn't even arrived yet. To say he was not enroute watching Obama's answers is very highly unlikely. I said to a friend during the interview by Rick, that he sounded rehearsed. Bingo!

[radicum]
