Let me go on the record as saying – as much as I think that Barney Frank and other free spending Democrats caused more than their fair share, over the last 20 years, of this mess – this recession was going to hit no matter who won the presidency in ‘08. Tactically, I’m just [...]
Barney Frank is one of those politicians that always makes my head shake in disbelief when I hear him speak on T.V. This guy spent years pimping government subsidized home loans and protecting Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. "Now Frank has the audacity to tell us "the Poor Should Rent, Not Own." ARRRGGGHHHH!
Now that the Treasury has removed any cap on the amount of money taxpayers will shovel down the Fannie and Freddie rat holes , the companies have stopped making any bones about the business they're in. And what business is that? The "foreclosure-prevention" business. (a.k.a., modify mortgages so homeowners can stay in houses they should never have bought and keep buying mortgages so mortgage...

We have 3 very strange candidates running in the Democratic primary to challenge Pete Olson in CD22. One is a Libertarian. One has absolutely no clue. The other is a member of the LaRouche Hitler Youth Group, a far out (not left or right, just out) candidate. She, Keisha Rogers, is not a Democrat but that doesn't stop her from running as one. Here is Congressman Barney Frank having his way with a LaRouchey....
Mark Steyn in a snark filled tirade......... Obama’s spending proposes to take the average Bush deficit for the years 2001–2008, and double it, all the way to 2020.
