Lawmaker Accused of Fannie Mae Conflict of Interest

I am ever apalled at the way political correctness protects perversion.

The last great sin a civilization embraces (accepts) before collapsing from within is homosexuality.

To paraphrase Claude Raines:  "I'm shock to discover conflict of interest going on in Congress."

"Your campaign donation, sir."

+1... remember Sodom and Gomorrah?.....


Also, the Dems are steadily trying to make the financial crisis out to be Bush's fault.....business as usual, and the general public goes with the flow because they generally don't understand how politics and finance works.
Good or bad, there's usually about a 10 year 'delay' for things to take full effect. The bad we're in now seems to have stemmed from misconduct, conflicts of interest, and misappropriations in Congress and finance 10 years ago.
All I can say is hang on.

I just talked to a woman yesterday that was all hyped up about Hobo.  "Bush's fault! McCain is Bush! (yeah, lady, and the walrus is Paul) Crisis caused by Bush! Bush could have stepped in and stopped this. Bush has all kinds of power."  I tried to discuss Congressional oversight (come to think of it, the alternate definition of "an inadvertent omission or error" is closer to the truth, w/o the 'inadvertent' part) and the powers and  limitations of the three branches of government. I tried explaining why Bush had to ask for a bill from Congress but that whole separation of powers thing fell on deaf and dumb ears.

Yes. It's yet another example of our failed educational system at work. Along with good old 'liberal blindness'.
Just more evidence that even though our educational system is in the process of 'dumbing down' America, it is still entirely 'possible' to educate some people beyond their intelligence.
