Call Nancy Pelosi @ (202) 225-0100 & let her know you want Congressional hearings investigating the mismanagement of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Tell her you want answers from Barney Frank and Chuck Schumer. Ask her why Franklin Raines and James Johnson were allowed to cook FM books enron style without being held accountable. Ask her why her democratic party refused reform of these entities in exchange for campaign donations.

How is this guy (and Nancy Pelosi) still in office. Don't you guys have elections?

Isn’t it amazing that the “blame Bush” crowd doesn’t know anything about this, the regulatory changes or who or what Barney Frank is. None of them even know what the CRA is or what part it took in our financial freefall. In discussions with the “blame Bush” crowd you always hear the same think when Frank’s name comes up, Homophobe. These avoidance tactics drive me crazy, I guess it’s easier to just let them “blame Bush” and the Republicans.

He won reelection...we deserve what we get.

Wow, two different definitions of the same word.

Oh well. My point has always been that I'm NOT perfect, and don't pretend to be.

Yes, please, explain to me, what you must do to be a Christian.

What are the commandments of Jesus?

What is the "work of God?"

[Guest4000]

Ha... okay, honey, here's the Merriam-Webster definition: "a person who acts in contradiction to his or her stated beliefs." Do I really need to explain to you the beliefs and virtues that come along with claiming Christianity as your belief system? You really don't know when to quit, do you?

Unfortunately, I don't think there's anyone out there who can help you with your problems with basic logic. You're too far gone, I'm afraid. ;-)

Ok, I'll do it for you.

Webster's defines hypocrite as follows: One who pretends to be pious, virtuous, etc. without really being so.

You know, there are people who can help you with your literacy. I'm sure you can even find one that's payed for by the taxpayers.

[Guest4000]

I see you're in the habit of telling other people to do things that you yourself haven't bothered to do. Interesting.

Guest4000

I see you still haven't looked up the definition of a hypocrite.

[Guest4000]

Haha... I don't tell Christians how to behave. That would be Jesus. I figured you would know that...

And, yeah, you actually are defending your sins, you're embracing them, in fact. When it's pointed out to you that you contradict Jesus' teachings with your actions instead of saying, "you're right, that was wrong", you defend what you did. Being a "Christian," yep, that's hypocrisy.

Clearly "God's grace" hasn't had much affect on you. Please, keep it up, you look more and more hypocritical.

Guest4000

I'm not defending my sins, I'm just stating the obvious, that I AM a sinner. So are you. I'm just not rejecting God's grace, like you seem to be.

However, you may certainly continue to tell Christians how they should behave, if you like.

Maybe you could become a legalistic, fundementalist preacher?

P.S.

Look up the definition of a hypocrite.

I'm sure someone there in the welfare office can help you.

[Guest4000]

Ha! You just can't help but embarrass yourself further, can you?

Jesus died for your sins so that you could go against his teachings, and then when it's pointed out to you to say, "so what?", and continue to actually *defend* the very thing that was against his teachings. You're the very definition of what Jesus preached against, and you embrace it. Again, that's fine with me; but the more you defend it, the more un-Christian and hypocritical you are.

*Enjoys dbviewer's continued hypocrisy*
