Factcheck.org is another site that one needs to check the facts on. It's name doesn't give it automatic credibility. It is wrong many times
And stop holding the lack of a rule as equally responsible as the illicit and unethical (immoral?) behavior of the wrong doers.

That's why they were given so much rope to start with. The threat of the charge of racism. The same game I see played right here. Why throw color into it? I know who the racist is here. Agitators and radicals don't bother with truth. They strive to achieve their goals by whatever means available. Right? Right!

I know a rather well-known fellow who has spent his career identifying religious frauds. He is convinced that the simplest way he can think of to make a whole lot of money is to dream up a story of having been a satan-worshiper [or, I might add, a former Muslim terrorist] who has become a Christian, is supposedly under death threats, and does speaking tours in evangelical churches. He knows people who have done this - one claiming fraudulently to be a 3rd daughter of Anton LaVey. And when he alerted the churches who were hosting her and giving her money, they chewed him out for doubting her story and went right on.

davey, I'm sure somewhere there's another video just like this only with D heroes and R scapegoats. Fact is, many on both sides messed up. Surely you know better than to trust this kind of goodguy/badguy mashup.
It does remain true, however, that deregulation has been a central part of the Republican platform since Reagan, and not a part of the D's. And it's true that Obama wrote to Paulson warning of impending crisis a year ago last March, just as some Republicans in Congress were doing in this video.
And where was John McCain? Pitching deregulation. And insisting - like the Dems in your video - that the economy was strong.

Let's not put lipstick on it, or get fanatically anti- this or anti-that group. Both let us down, just as in the Iraq war decision. A few saw more clearly than most.
