		<description>Fred,

Say old fella, would you mind saving those Daily Quotes so I can have mine all at one time?

Also, if you wouldn&#039;t mind, put them in a paper bag (preferably recycled paper) and have them ready on Tuesday evenings, since my trash collector comes on Wednesday mornings.

You were mainly strawberries and ball bearings to begin with, but now it appears your &quot;vital bodily fluids&quot; are also corrupted.

Even so, you still insist on devouring those half baked wing-nut cookies over at those fast trash joints you frequent.

There was nothing &quot;filthy&quot; in post 88,
but everything you address becomes vile and twisted before you are finished with it!

Everthink?

PS Democrats have the goods on Cheney, you&#039;ll soon see. I expect him to offer up Dumbyah to avoid a Madoff-like sentence.

Whatcha gonna say then scooper?</description>

		<description>Laughing gasbag, quit projecting, dude. The &quot;hateful and dishonest trash&quot; that has been posted here mainly comes from trolls like you. When we post counter-arguments and other sources of facts which contradict your ignorant Obamabot mantra you immediately resort to name calling and then condemn us for holding a mirror to your faces by answering in kind!

It&#039;s interesting how you Obamabots are unwilling to deal with facts that the liberal media ignores (if I understand you correctly, the &quot;mainstream medai&quot; is your steady source of biased kool-aid) and when any other fact-based information is posted here that contradicts your warped, leftist worldview you call it &quot;trash&quot;, often without even bothering to try and read the links and honestly comprehend how that information seriously contradict your Bush-hating, liberal humanist view of the world!

You see, invariably when you trolls post information which is either erroneous, based merely on liberal &quot;journalistic&quot; opinion, or conveniently lacking certain details of a news story that would often turn the lamestream media&#039;s original story on its head, you trolls resort to calling it &quot;hateful and dishonest trash&quot; without posting a single, irrefutable source which contradicts our subsequent criticisms of your &quot;news&quot; sources.

I and many other Scrapplers on this site have been consistent all along by exposing your lies and disinformation with links to other news sources which often, as the saying goes, tells the rest of the story. 

Given how doped up you are on your leftist kool-aid I can understand how you would believe anything which contradicts your warped worldview is &quot;hateful and dishonest&quot; when in fact the shoe is actually on the other foot ... yours. Your sad attempts at pre-emptive fingerpointing won&#039;t work here because there are too many other honest folk who post here that have access to all kinds of information which never shows up in your precious &quot;mainstream media&quot;.

Despite your own lies about how progressive and open-minded kneejerk Bush-haters like you are, you invariable prove to be little more than uninformed tools parroting the ideological detris of the very political kooks who are presently destroying this nation&#039;s economy and social structure, kooks who are present crowing about how their political remedies are working! Clearly a case where the emperor has no clothes and trolls like you condemn us for daring to tell the truth.</description>

		<description>&quot;Disgusting filth&quot;?

Are you related to that other little squirt here who likes to throw that expression around?

I can see where you might find it insulting, but filthy?

If you insist it is &quot;filth, what makes the hateful and dishonest trash you so often post less filthy than the hyperbole posted by Newsman?

		<description>Newsman, I&#039;m not going to dignify your disgusting filth in your #88 comment. 

Oh, and please quit engaging in revisionism, okay? We Scrapolers have already documented here time and time again - with links - the inescapable fact that from late 2001 to 2007 President Bush and his administration warned Congress no less than 18 times that something needed to be done about Congressional oversight of Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and other financial institutions who were engaged in reckless lending practices which were inexorably creating a housing bubble. And in 2008 alone &lt;a HREF=&quot;http://nicedeb.wordpress.com/2008/09/21/the-white-house-warned-congress-about-fannie-mae-freddie-mac-17-times-in-2008-alone/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;the Bush Administrations warned the Democrat-controlled Congress no less than another 17 times&lt;/a&gt; that they needed to either reform the regulations governing FM/FM or at least exercise their oversight in a responsible manner. The Democrats saw fit to do neither.

POTUS does not have oversight over these crucial Government Sponsored Enterprises (do you know what a GSE is, Newsman, they sure aren&#039;t &quot;free market&quot; financial institutions) CONGRESS HAS OVERSIGHT and Congress failed. Yes, Republicans ran Congress for six of the eight years under the Bush Administration but it is also demonstrably true Democrats succeeded in bottling up any attempt to address the coming economic tsunami.

So would you quit lying out of both sides of your mouth ... it&#039;s so unbecoming of someone who considers themselves so &quot;progressive&quot; and informed.

BTW, did you even bother looking at the C-Span footage (in their own words, sir!) I linked to. Yeah, there was some commentary to provide context, but I&#039;ve done far more to throw light on this topic using actual video-tape than the lamestream media did by ignoring Democrats&#039; culpability in the financial mess America finds itself in today.

And would you please do us and yourself a favor by clicking on the links I&#039;ve taken the trouble to post so that you can educate yourself about the real history of the Congressional Democrats&#039; overwhelming complicity and incompetence in having the economy meltdown on their watch.

Even the left-leaning New York Times reported on September 11, 2003:

&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;The Bush administration today recommended the most significant regulatory overhaul in the housing finance industry since the savings and loan crisis a decade ago. &lt;/b&gt;

Under the plan, disclosed at a Congressional hearing today, a new agency would be created within the Treasury Department to assume supervision of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, the government-sponsored companies that are the two largest players in the mortgage lending industry. 

The new agency would have the authority, which now rests with Congress, to set one of the two capital-reserve requirements for the companies. It would exercise authority over any new lines of business. And it would determine whether the two are adequately managing the risks of their ballooning portfolios. 

The plan is an acknowledgment by the administration that oversight of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac — which together have issued more than $1.5 trillion in outstanding debt — is broken. A report by outside investigators in July concluded that Freddie Mac manipulated its accounting to mislead investors, and critics have said Fannie Mae does not adequately hedge against rising interest rates. 

….. 

”These two entities — Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac — are not facing any kind of financial crisis,” &lt;b&gt;said Representative Barney Frank of Massachusetts&lt;/b&gt;, 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.” 

&lt;b&gt;Representative Melvin L. Watt, Democrat of North Carolina&lt;/b&gt;, agreed. 

”I don’t see much other than a shell game going on here, moving something from one agency to another and in the process weakening the bargaining power of poorer families and their ability to get affordable housing,” Mr. Watt said. &lt;/i&gt;

So please stop your ignorant obfuscation and get a clue before you come back here to embarass yourself. This is really the kindest think I can say to a troll who refuses to follow the links to actual C-Span video and blows off the FACTS that virtually every Scrappler has shared with you to enlighten as to what your precious mainstream media has managed to ignore as they carry the liberal Democrats&#039; water on this and other important issues which face this nation.

Oh, and as to your snarky comment about deregulation and the Bush Administration, if you bother to do your own independent investigation instead of believing the crap being spoonfed to you by the lamestream media and leftist blogs (I mean, where else could you possibly be getting your &quot;information&quot;, right? Certainly not out of thin air) you would find that &lt;a HREF=&quot;http://www.dissentmagazine.org/article/?article=1229&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;a significant amount of deregulation that you complain about was started by no less than the Clinton Administration.&lt;/a&gt;
