Mark, The Republicans had less control of Congress then than the Democrats have now, yet despite this advantage and the popularity of Obama the Democrats STILL needed three Republican senators to get the spending bill thru. Just having the majority doesn't guarantee a thing when voting goes along party lines.
Democrats would not want THIS video getting out because it's documenting Republicans speaking of the pending crisis and pushing for legislation, and it shows Democrats Franks and Schumer claiming the Republicans were being Chicken Little's and that Fanny and Freddie were healthy. Of course reining them in at that time would have meant fewer low income families getting home ownership, and with everyone being fat, dumb and happy at that time, trying to push thru legislation that would result in this would have been rather unpopular. I'm sure blame rests with both parties, but these sound bites of Schumer and Franks are rather embarrassing to the Democrats On Feb 24, 1:42 pm, THE ANNOINTED ONE <[email protected]> wrote: > That would be the Republican controlled 108th congress and senate ??? > Gee, it would seem it would not be the Dems that wanted the video > "hidden" (to them its release would be proof that the party in TOTAL > control at the time was indeed a neutered party with no fiscal > responsibility even when brought up by its own leadership). > > Just the opposite of your intimated charge. > > On Feb 24, 10:17 am, Philobealo <[email protected]> wrote: > > > > > Watch this short video which was banned in America for insight on our > > current mortgage and credit crisis. > > > THIS IS THE VIDEO THE LEFT DOESN'T WANT YOU TO SEE! > > > This video shows that Congress in 2002 was warned that this economic > > crisis was coming, if something was not done.
