  • Nuclear and Coal: The Energy 'Dream Team' for Years to Come
    It seems that data are accumulating that Man-Made Global Warming is a sraud. If so, the scientific opposition to CO2 must crumble. That means fossil fuel will be primary in our future.

    The Dems energy policy will result in $5 gasoline, skyrocketing electric rates, and with the realization that Man-Made Global Warming is a scam will turn the voters away from Dems.

  • Fannie and Freddie Did Not Cause This Crisis
    The people voted for a new Congress in '94 when they found out that Congressmen were using their in house post office as a piggy bank.
    Maybe they'll do the same when they realize Congressmen were using Fannie & Freddie as thier private piggy banks

  • Fannie and Freddie Did Not Cause This Crisis
    Ridiculous cop-out by Thoma. Even Barney Frank acknowledges Fannie was the problem but is trying to evade responsibility with a big lie.
    On O'Reilly's "The Factor" , Barney Frank claimed he was not responsible for the Fannie, Freddie debacle because from 1995 to 2007 his party was in the minority on the Housing Committee and he had no power until he became Chairman on Jan. 31, 2007.
    This is a Big Lie.
    For Your Information;
    You should be made aware of the following facts that O’Reilly did not have.
    During that 1995-2007 period Barney Frank was not powerless but had DE FACTO CONTROL of the Housing Committee on matters concerning Fannie, Freddie and sub-prime mortgages.
    Barney Frank was the ranking member and had all the Dems on that committee voting with him as a block and intimidated a few vulnerable Republicans with threats of racism unless they voted with him on matters concerning Fannie and Freddie.
    This gave Frank the majority he needed and DE FACTO CONTROL of the Housing Committee.
    Unfortunately, O'Reilly's staff didn't equip him with this information.
    The bottom line though is Barney Frank, all the Dems on the Housing Committee and Franklin Raines are the prime culprits in the Fannie, Freddie, sub-prime disaster.

    Paraphrasing the WSJ Sept 9, 2008 DEMS and BARNEY FRANK USE FANNIE MAE AS THEIR PIGGY BANK
    "But the biggest payoff for Mr. Frank is the "affordable housing" trust fund he managed to push through as one political price for the recent Fannie reform bill.
    This fund siphons off a portion of Fannie and Freddie profits -- as much as $500 million a year each -- to a fund that politicians can then disburse to their favorite special interests".

  • Majority of Americans Support Ethanol
    Ethanol can not exist without substantial government subsidies making it more expensive than gasoline. Further, it gets only 80% or less mileage than gasoline per gallon. 25% of our corn crop has been taken out of the food supply for ethanol causing all food prices to rise.
    When taking a poll, the results are affected by the way the question is worded. In this case, I believe the poll's question was worded to favor ethanol.
