8. More Revisionist Bullshit |
|
For this to have happen, Tom DeLay would have had to have given special powers to Barney Frank (the MINORITY member of the Finance Committee) and Nancy Pelosi despite the fact that Dick Gephart was the MINORITY leader and Pelosi had little more power than to count votes.
Of course Seanity doesn't want you to remember that it was Armey & DeLay who ran the Congress like their own syndicate...ramrodding votes through (holding votes open while rushpublican arms were twisted)...Democrats couldn't even get a drink of water; remember the Conyers hearings in the basement? There was no way any Democrat could affect legislation that the rushpublican "leadership" didn't want to happen.
I'll be glad to show Seanity many foreclosed homes...McMansions. Those surely weren't purchased via FHA but surely those mortgages were put into the derivitive market as more gambling fodder with the banks betting on the owner to default.
