Goodbye Romney, Hello McLame

Romney drops out of the race, McCain visits CPAC.

Voters are used to being lied to. Little white lies, vague embellishments, and bold face lies. We've seen it all so what is different now? McCain stepped into CPAC and essentially told us what we wanted to hear, glossing over the facts and ignoring his liberal tendencies.

He played the "lets get along" card while selling softened stories about how the differences don't matter. Honestly, if the differences don't matter, then why do we care if Hillary gets the White House? The simple truth is that differences to matter when they effect the direction of our government.

Our ability to ignore his deviation from responsible conservative thinking doesn't make his job easier, it makes us quitters. If this country were founded by quitters, we'd still be getting overtaxed for tea and singing praises to England.

McCain walked in like a used car salesman and jerked everyone around at CPAC today. The only bit of honesty in that entire deal would be the boos when he attempted to broach the subject of Illegal Immigration.

The Mortgage Crisis

The mortgage crisis could not have been an accident. The people that "approved" the mortgages KNEW that:

  1. Were going to have prohibitive payments in 12 to 24 months
  2. Were going to be on property worth far less than what they sold for within 12 to 24 months
  3. Would be forclosed on because they couldn't sell for the amount of the mortgage

Bankers blame it on homeowners making bad decisions or not having foresight. However, those bankers get very uncomfortable when you point out that these mortgage were all approved by bankers that get PAID to know the market and it's trends.

When you point out that regular people like you and I saw this coming back in 2004/2005, they start to tap their fingers and look around nervously.

The short answer is that they set us up and we don't know "why".

Mortgages traditionally require people prove they can make the payments even when the market is not headed down. The banks knew exactly what they were doing...

The Media On It's Knees

Why is it that the mainstream media is clamoring on their knees in front of Obama as if their unwarranted affection will somehow lower his zipper and give them what they so desperately seem to want?
