Reality-based commentary on politics.

Once again, Barney Frank concisely sums it up…

“The Republicans – their own philosophy blew up in their face. They were so extreme in their insistence that there be no government intervention that they have wound up provoking far more government intervention than the Democrats ever would have.”

The whole interview is a worthy read. Go check it out…

Oh, and all you low-down, slapdash, moralizing, slanderizing, GOP supportin conservative ditto monkeys… your ideology, such as it is, has been nakedly and pellucidly betrayed.  I’m laughing at you now.

Laughing hard.  Not just the giggles… No.  Side splitting, can’t breathe, paroxysms of spastic schadenfreude.  

It’s all swirling into the plumbing, and we’ll all hurt together, but at least you can’t deny that it’s the fault of the people you voted for… who actually promised to do the opposite.

And it’s people like Barney Frank who are gonna pull us outta the muck.  

Ha ha ha

  1. (love that word)

    p>I think someone needs to dig into the legislative history here, especially the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act. Greenspan’s contribution to the mess was not inconsiderable, see the NY Times article.

  2. “‘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.'”

    NYTIMES  

    • Let the whining continue while they of course blame everyone with an “R” following their name, completely ignoring Barney Frank’s contributions as well as the rest of the majority US Senate and Congress who no doubt have been sitting on their fat asses for 2 years now.

      Myself, I’ve made some nice cash these last 2 days and am worried sick about any increase in short term capital gains. GO GOLD!!!!
