1. if they're intent on building their own gallows, don't interfere.
The Republican platform has a trapdoor in it!

5. I agree the Public is up in arms on the golden Parachutes
and lack of regulations. Major Polls lean 80% on general outrage on these issues.

2. Lobbyists to McCain, "You'd better get your ass to D.C. and get
rid of that CEO clause if you know what's good for you..." Or some such blather.

3. I don't see how this could possibly pass with Democrats in power.
We will likely have gridlock on this issue until January, if we get more Democrats in Congress to override these assholes.

4. This financial "crisis"
I was wondering if anyone ever thought about the PMI that
everyone pays when they purchase a new home. I believe if you
purchase a home and you then cant afford it the insurance
company will take over for you. Am I not correct? If not
please educate me on this because I feel this "housing
crisis" didn't really happen if people are paying PMI
until 20 percent of your balance is paid then what is the
problem?
