1. Only 6% of high risk (subprimes and the like) are covered by CRA. The CRA was not responsible for our financial mess.

Items 2-4 are bedrock principles of conservative and republican principles. To blame this on Clinton is ridiculous. It is like saying that the Democrats started the Iraq war. Although Clinton was definitely a conservatie Democrat, he signed most of these things so he could remain president and get what he wanted.

Deregulation and Free trade is what the Republican party is all about. That is what Reagan and the Bush’s ran on, what they rolled Clinton over on, and if Bush Jr. didn’t like any of it, he could have resinded any of it. He certainly didn’t have to run on promises of free trade and deregulation, which he did.

But Certainly Clinton’s weakness help damage the country, there is no doubt about it.

Nice try, but the last two were bundled in the Omnibus bill…you know the one Bush should have signed before he left office. The republican congress stuck that Modernization Act..the Gramm, Leach Bliley act of 1999 that repealed the Glass-Segal act of 1933. Bush had every opportunity to change that…the republicans had every opportunity to change that…but they wanted to steal from the people of this country. The republicans are all thieves and liars. They whine about 787 billion for creating jobs…yet they allowed the dumbest president in the history of this nation to dump 7 trillion in the hands of his contractor friends. A moron that was dictator from October 2001 to January 19, 2009. THAT is the reason the republican lost…combined with the only thing McCain could do was crash planes…then Palin who is a extremist did not help McCain. Her constant attacks made the republicans look like a complete bunch of morons…just like her!

There are idiots in every crowd. Bush was top idiot in the republican crowd. Seems to me allot of his stupidity was almost democrat. It was hard to tell sometimes which one he was, decisions based entirely on putting money in his buddy’s pockets no matter what it did to our nations economy. Retards are in both democrat and republican party’s. That is why the democrats won, may as well vote one in the republican we had acted like a retarded democrat

All Bills the Republican Senate put in front of him and threatened him with a veto override if he didn’t sign.
The Gramm/Leach/Bliley (all Republicans) bill is the one that deregulated loans and caused ALL these problems.

I think Republicans lost because they intended to lose. They KNEW what was coming. They KNEW the worst economic depression in U.S. history loomed [which I believe will strike by October, 2009]. They KNEW they had squandered trillions of dollars on an illegal, immoral, unconstitutional war. They KNEW there was very little support for an incompetent, unpopular President and his party. Better they ‘sit this one out’, let the Democrats win by a landslide, blame Democrats for the depression, then come back strong in 2012 [or 2016, depending on how well Obama's strategies work] to continue their war-mongering, reckless spending and ‘wink-wink’ tolerance of ‘big business’ shenanigans.
You saw a very mediocre attempt on the part of Republicans to win because that was the PLAN. -RKO- 03/28/09
