This is Gold Erick. I love it. When will J Mac disseminate this to the people. BO helped this mess along with his ACORN work, and thought it was a good idea!!???
Good work.

Erick, I just read an article at Politico by Vandehai and Allen. In it, they say Republican operatives are openly discussing the loss of nine Senate seats and 20 House seats. They say some Republicans are already looking towards 2010.

Since the article comes from Politico, I realize it should be taken with a grain of salt. Still, what is the shape of the Republican party in the House and Senate races? Do your sources feel this kind of rout is possible? They are even talking about my Senator, Mitch McConnell, losing now.

I’m worried about a reverse 1980 or even a 1932 style loss. Am I too pessimistic? Right now, I feel like 2006 is playing in front of our eyes again. Not trying to flame, just looking for some answers. Thanks.

and a 15% chance of a filibuster proof senate. If its a big blue tide, then a 9 senate seat loss is definitely possible. 5 is strongly likely at this point

my, my, my – what do we have here? We have a month folks. Hope this gets out by then…

There are a lot of videos and clips out there right now with great info, but I fear only conservatives are viewing them and ignorant independents only believe what they see and hear from the MSM.

Well, we’ll keep fighting the good fight

I pray the Mccain camp pushes this type of stuff hardcore in the remaining weeks.

I am curious how true and accurate these poll numbers I ve been hearing really are. In 2004 election day, the polls said the same thing about Kerry who was leading Bush everywhere and look what happened. Also look at Hillary Clinton in New Hamshire in January. She was supposed to lose that one handidly. I know if the conservatives come out in full force we can win this. I am curious if anyone from a toss-up state can tell me what its like there in terms of campaign organization, voter registration, advertising… I hear that the McCain camapign is putting a weak effort in Florida and Ohio. Is that true???

This is perfect and proves he is a crook.

McCain should run that video right before the debate. Shows what Obama’s “change” in all about

Obama BinBiden supports sub-prime and/or any other Fannie/Freddie activity…

A Socialist supporting this warped sense of Social Justice redistribution (by having others have to pay more to cover losses) type program…

Here is the “Subprime lending started out as a good idea” line in context:

“Subprime lending started off as a good idea – helping Americans buy homes who couldn’t previously afford to. Financial institutions created new financial instruments that could securitize these loans, slice them into finer and finer risk categories and spread them out among investors around the country and around the world.”

“In theory, this should have allowed mortgage lending to be less risky and more diversified. But as certain lenders and brokers began to see how much money could be made, they began to lower their standards. Some appraisers began inflating their estimates to get the deals done. Some borrowers started claiming income they didn’t have just to qualify for the loans, and some were engaging in irresponsible speculation. But many borrowers were tricked into glossing over the fine print. And ratings agencies began rating bundles of different kinds of these loans as low-risk even though they were very high-risk.”

“Obama Loves Subprime Lending?” How one can come to this conclusion on the basis of the above quote is beyond comprehension. He clearly states that the intentions of sub-prime lending, the stated goal of housing those in most need of affordable housing, was a good idea, but that it was corrupted.

I’m not saying Barack fought against subprime lending and I’m not denying that McCain rallied for regulating Fannie and Freddie, but I am saying that posting a headline of “Obama Loves Sub-Prime Lending” and claiming that a quote, taken out of context, is some kind of bombshell is completely irrational and irresponsible.

The problem is that it’s well nigh impossible to reason people out of something they were never reasoned into in the first place.

The hit in the polls that McCain has taken over the economic mess is simply NOT a rational and reasoned response that takes into account the facts. It’s an emotional response on the part of a segment of the population–a response derived from an unthinking and largely subliminal association with Republicans and economic greed. You can’t change that with arguments, at least not in four weeks when you’d have to do it all by yourself with the media pulling in the opposite direction.

I hear a lot of Republicans calling for McCain to go all out to pin the credit crisis on Democrats during the next month.

I strongly disagree.

Their time and money would be MUCH better served trying to change the subject altogether to issues which Obama is more vulnerable on. There are tons of issues that Obama is more vulnerable on, and those are the places to focus at this last stage of the campaign.

couldn’t afford mortgages BEFORE, yet the ad acts as if he says “can’t afford now.”

Not good

If a lender is willing to take the risk, go for it. Remember, 94% are not in default.

The problem was government distorting the market and removing the consequences of failure.
