Brent you ignorant moron.

Fannie and Freddie HAD stringent standards for which types of loans they would purchase UNTIL Bill Clinton convinced them to buy subprime loans by giving them affordable housing credits for doing so. Your information and your mind is badly out of date.

As far as links to political parties, the top four recipients of campaign contributions from Fannie and Freddie were Chris Dodd, John Kerry, BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA, and Hillary Clinton.

Sorry to break the news to you, but we soldiers knew our internet activity and phone conversations were being monitored overseas. We were told as much. You’re not revealing any “news” to anyone except sniveling cowards like yourself.

The number of soldiers serving overseas and on the internet or phone at any given time is small. The number of Americans on the internet or on the phone in the US is ENORMOUS. Trillions of phone calls are made in the US. The government would have tremendous difficulty monitoring one MILLIONTH of all phone calls made. They would only listen in on your conversation if you were making an overseas call to a known terrorist phone number. Get a grip, take a valium, and stop believing in conspiracy theories.

I absolutely must join the chorus of outrage at Congresswoman Bachman’s call for, wish for, some kind of investigation into the degree of Americanism or anti-Americanism in her colleagues views! Sarah Palin and the Republican strategists are opening up Pandora’s Box with apparently no understanding of what has come out of that box in our American history! Once again, fear has summoned up the dark side of some of our natures, and those of us who have not succumbed to that fear better stand up and be counted!

POWinCA believes: “NO ONE is casually perusing your private e-mails and telephone conversations unless you are a suspected TERRORIST. The US government neither has the MEANS nor the DESIRE to comb through YOUR personal information. They are looking at people who have been communicating with people in Afghanistan on pre-paid cellular telephones with numbers found on captured Al Qaeda laptops.”
I’m sorry to be the one to break the news to you, but government agents have been spying on our troops in Iraq, among others, tape-recording any sexual conversations to pass around and chuckle about afterwards. See:

Is this disgusting enough? What exactly does the Bush Administration have to do before Republicans say “at last, have you no decency”?

thank you michele for raising tons of money for Tinklenberg. Those who want to help defeat Bachmann need to donate to either Tinklenberg on his website or go to the vote blue web site.
Bachmann needs only to look in the mirror to see an anti-american view. This woman needs to be defeated and sent back home where she and her husband have a christian counseling business and put her in for some in depth counseling.

Reading all the obviously right wing fringe posts here, all I can say is “It’s obvious to everyone with a functioning brain why you guys are having your political arses handed to you on a silver platter across the board this year. Just read your own posts.”

The fact that you guys can post this stuff and not understand that this stupid crap is the very thing that has driven people like me away from your party, is a testimony to just how divorced from reality you’ve become. You can say what you want now how you don’t need people like me, Colin Powell, and other reasonable republicans in your party, but on election day, you’ll learn the hard way just how much you relied on us in the past. You don’t have us anymore. Enjoy your losses. And for Christ’s sake, learn from them.

I also saw the Bachmann interview and was horrified by what she said. For too long, far Right Republicans have directed hate-speak at “liberals.” Bachmann said it very clearly: she believes it is unAmerican to be a liberal. To me, however, what is truly American (and truly patriotic) is when someone will say, as the Founding Fathers themselves did, that they would die to defend the right of another citizen to disagree with them. Ms. Bachmann wouldn’t do that; instead, it sounds like she wants to lead a McCarthyesque witch-hunt to root out her political opponents in Congress (and who knows where else too). How truly un-American is that!

After World War II, the Allies had “De-Nazification” programs in Occupied West Germany. We need a Ne-Nazification program here, and Bachmann should be first in line, along with the chairman of the Repig Party in Sacramento, who condoned having “waterboard Barack Obama” on the Sacramento GOP website.

How retarded is this woman? Seriously, have the people in Minnesota run out of intelligent candidates? How could such a mistake of nature be in Congress?

Bachmann gets what she deserves for perpetuating hate and intolerance when we need exactly the opposite more than ever. Mr. Tinkenberg, use those funds wisely and to make sure people with views such as Bachmann’s do not are not allowed to control the fates of others.
