Oh, such a clever "gotcha!," Brian. You must be so proud. Gothcha! Gothca! How juvenile.
At least Republicans have some principles. As best I can tell, Democrats don't have any, so they can never be accused of breaking them. ''These two entities -- Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac -- are not facing any kind of financial crisis,'' said Representative Barney Frank of Massachusetts, the ranking Democrat on the Financial Services Committee. ''The more people exaggerate these problems, the more pressure there is on these companies, the less we will see in terms of affordable housing." -- Barney Frank in 2003 leading a successful effort stop legislation that would impose stricter controls on Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Do you want to start a pissing match about which party is more deeply responsible for the current financial crisis? Or, would you rather stand down for a few minutes and let our elected officials work in a non-partisan manner to resolve the current crisis? I seem to recall that the candidate you support once stood for that. Why are you so eager to be partisan, particularly on such an important issue that requires bi-partisanship for problem solving?
