“The American people will never knowingly adopt Socialism. But under the name of ‘liberalism’ they will adopt every fragment of the Socialist program, until one day America will be a Socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.”

Barney Frank initiates the impending condo crisis

The near collapse of the US economy a year ago was prompted by the housing bubble bursting. The mortgage crisis came as a direct result of Barney Frank and Chris Dodd intimidating mortgage companies to issue loans to minorities who they knew couldn't afford to pay them. Boy, does history have a way of repeating itself.....

(Reuters) - Two U.S. Democratic lawmakers want Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to relax recently tightened standards for mortgages on new condominiums, saying they could threaten the viability of some developments and slow the housing-market recovery, the Wall Street Journal said.

In a letter to the CEO's of both companies, Representatives Barney Frank, the chairman of the House Financial Services Committee, and Anthony Weiner warned that a 70 percent sales threshold "may be too onerous" and could lead condo buyers to shun new developments, according to the paper.


If you check, you'll find that the current CEO's of Fannie and Freddie have donated, or promised to donate, thousands to the respective campaigns of Frank and Weiner(no giggling). That's why Frank interfered with regulators 3-5 years ago, who warned about the collapse of the US mortgage industry....his friends were on the boards of Fannie and Freddie, they were raking in millions, and promising to donate a lot of it to Frank and Dodd's PAC's. In return Frank and Dodd protected the scam Fannie and Freddie were running in order to enrich themselves and their friends. Everybody walked away with millions in their pockets, everybody except the honest, American taxpayer who is on the hook for their unethical shenanigans.

Here's Barney Frank, "recruiting" an intern.

Old dogs, new tricks, and all that.

Should we expect any less? And of course, the morons in his district will continue to vote him in term after term after term.... while the rest of us pick up the mess he makes.

Again: WE ARE PAYING FOR THIS! We continue to elect scum. We continue to pay the scum. And we will (all) become scum on the world's stage.

Figure out your core values, identify the candidate that most closely aligns THEN vote. The "Ready! Fire! Aim!" election process is a recipe for failure.
