I hope not. Just goes to show you how tainted people’s mind can be of the truth.</p>
<p>[Palin</a> ‘governed from the center,’ went after big oil - USATODAY.com](<a href=“http://www.usatoday.com/news/politics/election2008/2008-09-11-palin-cover_N.htm]Palin”>http://www.usatoday.com/news/politics/election2008/2008-09-11-palin-cover_N.htm)</p>
<p>Just becase you have strong personal beliefs does not mean you’ll impose your own personal persuasions on others.</p>
<p>Yes the credit crisis…</p>
<p>**The New York Times reported this five years ago:</p>
<p>The Bush administration today recommended the most significant regulatory overhaul in the housing finance industry since the savings and loan crisis a decade ago.</p>
<p>”These two entities — Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac — are not facing any kind of financial crisis,” said Representative Barney Frank of Massachusetts, the ranking Democrat on the Financial Services Committee. ”</p>
<p>McCain spoke forcefully on May 25, 2006, on behalf of the Federal Housing Enterprise Regulatory Reform Act of 2005</p>
<p>I join as a cosponsor of the Federal Housing Enterprise Regulatory Reform Act of 2005, S. 190, to underscore my support for quick passage of GSE regulatory reform legislation. If Congress does not act, American taxpayers will continue to be exposed to the enormous risk that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac pose to the housing market, the overall financial system, and the economy as a whole.**</p>
<p>NOTHING WAS DONE</p>
<p>And now that stuff is about to hit the fan, the Democrats still won’t budge and still want to bail out “main street”. Didn’t work with the stimulus package, didn’t work with the housing bill, won’t work now.</p>
<p>Northwest is heavily liberal… in the city perhaps. You must mean the Northeast.</p>

<p>Gore beat Bush by a healthy 5% in WA…but that’s nowhere as “liberal” as his 25% blowout in NY. In OR, Gore and Bush both got 47%, Gore edged out by a couple thousand.</p>
<p>Where do people get these facts, geez. If they knew the truth, they’d be on McCain’s side :D</p>
