Re: Lesser of Two Evils

Last night's 60 Minutes featured a truly shameful story on the Justice Department's failure to investigate Wall Street, crony corporatism, and Countrywide. Steve Kroft pretended to be investigating while not asking the Obama Justice Department lackeys (former Clinton administration lackeys) ANY pointed questions at all. One wonders if he got slapped around for asking Nancy Pelosi about her insider trading profits a few weeks back and was told to make atonement.

He was skewered for it today for an hour by radio host Chris Plante on DC's WMAL (which is usually rebroadcast on the weekend, since I can't find it for you on-line). But all one need do is repair to Wikipedia (George Soros has not bought it yet) to find that everyone from Nancy Pelosi's son to Congressman James Clyburn to former Senator Chris Dodd to many other Clinton and Obama hireling were given favorable loan terms for keeping the party going:

"Friends of Angelo (FOA)" VIP program

Further information: Countrywide financial political loan scandal

In June 2008 Conde Nast Portfolio reported that several influential lawmakers and politicians, including Senate Banking Committee Chairman Christopher Dodd, Senate Budget Committee Chairman Kent Conrad, and Fannie Mae former CEO Jim Johnson, received favorable mortgage financing from Countrywide by virtue of being "Friends of Angelo."^[13]^[14]

Senator Dodd received a $75,000 reduction in mortgage payments from Countrywide at allegedly below-market rates on his Washington, D.C. and Connecticut homes. Michael Moore'sCapitalism: A Love Story shows on film that this was actually over a million dollars of a sweet-heart mortgage deal.^[13]^[15] Dodd nonetheless called for stronger regulation of mortgage lenders and proposed that predatory lenders should face criminal charges.^[16]

Clinton Jones III, senior counsel of the House Financial Services Subcommittee on Housing and Community Opportunity, and "an adviser to ranking Republican members of Congress responsible for legislation of interest to the financial services industry and of importance to Countrywide." was given special treatment. Jones is now state director for federal residential-mortgage bundler Freddie Mac. Alphonso Jackson, acting secretary of HUD at the time and long time friend and Texas neighbor of President Bush, received a discounted mortgage for himself and sought one for his daughter. "In 2003, using V.I.P. loans for nearly $1 million apiece, Franklin Raines, Fannie Mae's chairman and C.E.O. from 1999 to 2004, twice refinanced his seven-bedroom home, which has a pool and movie theater."^[16]

Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi's son, Paul Pelosi, Jr., also received a loan with Countrywide. Barbara Boxer, Adam H. Putnam, Richard C. Holbrooke, James E. Clyburn, and Donna Shalala are also among those with mortgages from Countrywide.

CBS News has obtained the following list of then-Fannie Mae employees whose names have been turned over to investigators as having received VIP loans from Countrywide:^[17]

Re: Fwd: [New post] Why Cain Supporters and Others Should Back Gary Johnson

1. "I'm not a natural leader. I'm too intellectual; I'm too abstract;
I think too much."
~Newt Gingrich, admitting that he's an intellectual elite incapable of
leading.

2. "If the Soviet empire still existed, I'd be terrified. The fact is,
we can afford a fairly ignorant presidency now."
~Newt Gingrich, saying that it's okay for the President to be
ignorant.

3. "The idea that a congressman would be tainted by accepting money
from private industry or private sources is essentially a socialist
argument."
~Newt Gingrich, arguing that it's okay for politicians to be bought
and paid for.

4. "Give the park police more ammo." ~Newt Gingrich, responding to a
reporter who asked what to do about the homeless a few days after the
police shot a homeless man in front of the White House.

5. "The problem isn't too little money in political campaigns, but
not enough."
~Newt Gingrich on campaign finance reform.

6. "I have enormous personal ambition. I want to shift the entire
planet. And I'm doing it. I am now a famous person. I represent real
power."
~Newt Gingrich, blowing his own horn.

7. "Gingrich – Primary mission, Advocate of civilization, Definer of
civilization, Teacher of the rules of civilization, Leader of the
civilizing forces."
~ Newt Gingrich, blowing his own horn.

8. "The most serious, systematic revolutionary of modern times."
~Newt Gingrich, blowing his own horn.

9. "It doesn't matter what I do. People need to hear what I have to
say. There's no one else who can say what I can say. It doesn't matter
what I live."
~Newt Gingrich, saying we should do as he says, regardless of what he
actually does.

10. "This is one of the great tragedies of the Bush administration.
The more successful they've been at intercepting and stopping bad
guys, the less proof there is that we're in danger…. It's almost like
they should every once in a while have allowed an attack to get
through just to remind us."
~Newt Gingrich, at a book talk in Huntington, NY, April 2008, saying
that Republicans should allow terrorist attacks on American soil to
remind us of the dangers in the world.

11. "Now, we don't get rid of it in round one because we don't think
that that's politically smart, and we don't think that's the right way
to go through a transition. But we believe it's going to wither on the
vine because we think people are voluntarily going to leave it —
voluntarily."
~Newt Gingrich, admitting that while they won't kill Medicare
outright, Republicans will try to make it wither on the vine and die.

12. "She isn't young enough or pretty enough to be the President's
wife."
~Newt Gingrich, talking about his first wife after divorcing her.

13. "I read Men Who Hate Women and the Women Who Love Them and I found
frightening pieces that related to…my own life."
~Newt Gingrich, talking about his problems with women.

14. "It is tragic what we do in the poorest neighborhoods, entrapping
children in child laws which are truly stupid…These schools should get
rid of unionized janitors, have one master janitor, pay local students
to take care of the school."
~Newt Gingrich, advocating for an end to child labor laws so
businesses can fire union workers and replace them with cheap labor.

15. "We should replace bilingual education with immersion in English
so people learn the common language of the country and they learn the
language of prosperity, not the language of living in a ghetto."
~Newt Gingrich. Two years later, Gingrich unveils a new Spanish-
language website, The Americano.

16. "The left-wing Democrats will represent the party of total
hedonism, total exhibitionism, total bizarreness, total weirdness, and
the total right to cripple innocent people in the name of letting
hooligans loose."
~Newt Gingrich, smearing Democrats when in fact it's Republicans who
want to cripple innocent people. Remember when they cheered for
letting a man without health insurance die? And speaking of
exhibitionism and bizarreness, have you seen the Republican
Presidential field?

17. "These people are sick. They are so consumed by their own power,
by a Mussolini-like ego, that their willingness to run over normal
human beings and to destroy honest institutions is unending."
~Newt Gingrich, once again smearing Democrats, but telling the
complete truth about himself and the GOP. Republicans want to kill
Medicare and Social Security, the EPA, and several other honest
institutions that serve normal human beings. Speaking of running over
normal human beings, remember when Republicans cheered for letting a
man without health insurance die?

18. "I think one of the great problems we have in the Republican party
is that we don't encourage you to be nasty. We encourage you to be
neat, obedient, and loyal and faithful and all those Boy Scout words."
~Newt Gingrich, advocating for hateful rhetoric and smearing opponents
with lies.

Re: M O O S E------oh my god HILARIOUS~!

survival of the fittest!

Canada: There are an estimated 500,000 to 1,000,000 moose [30]
with 150,000 in Newfoundland in 2007 descended from just four that
were introduced in the 1900s.[31]
Finland: In 2009, there was a summer population of 115,000 moose.
[32]
New Zealand: Presumed extinct.[29]
Norway: In 2007, there were some 120,000 moose.[citation needed]
Russia: In 2008, there were approximately 730,000 moose.[citation
needed]
Sweden: The summer population is 300,000–400,000 moose. 100,000
are shot each fall.[33][34]
United States: probably around 300,000, as follows:
Northeast: A wildlife ecologist estimated 50,000 in New York
State and New England in 2007.[35]
Upper Midwest: Michigan estimated 433 (in its Upper Peninsula)
in 2011,[36] Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources 20-40 (close to
its UP border with Michigan) in 2003, Minnesota 5600 in its northeast
in 2010,[37] and under 100 in its northwest in 2009;[38] North Dakota
closed, due to low moose population, one of its moose-hunting
(geographic) units in 2011, and issued 162 single-kill licenses to
hunters, each restricted to one of the remaining nine units.[39]
Rocky Mountain states: Wyoming is said to have the largest
share in its 6-state region, and its Fish and Game Commission
estimated 7,692 in 2009.[40]
Alaska: The state's Department of Fish and Game estimated
200,000 in 2011.[41]

The Constitution entrusts our elected representatives in Congress with legislative power, but in recent years much of that power has been delegated away to unelected, unaccountable federal bureaucrats.

This week the House of Representatives has an opportunity to fix this. On Wednesday, the House will vote on H.R. 10, the REINS Act, to make it clear that Congress makes the laws in this country, not agency bureaucrats.

Click here to urge your Member of Congress to support the REINS Act and restore the proper balance of power in the legislative process!

The Small Business Administration reported recently that it cost American businesses $1.75 trillion to comply with federal regulations in 2008, more than individual and corporate income taxes combined. With such significant costs, clearly something has gone awry in the process.

The REINS Act helps correct this problem. Whenever an agency seeks to finalize a new "major" regulation – one with an economic impact of $100 million or more – the House and Senate must first vote to approve it, and the President must sign it before it can take effect. Sound familiar? This is how the Framers intended the legislative process to work!

The REINS Act won't stop every costly federal regulation or solve our existing regulatory problems, but it will ensure that when a new regulation takes effect every citizen will know exactly who voted for it and will be able to hold them accountable. We'll soon find out how many Members of Congress are willing to accept that responsibility.

Congress should make the laws in our country, not unelected and unaccountable bureaucrats. Click here to take action!
