WAKE UP

The pissing match continues with blame for the housing bubble and subsequent economic crisis picking up steam. Pick-up any newspaper and its almost universally believed that its the President's fault. I completely and utterly disagree that this crisis was created and enabled by conservative Republicans, and is far from Wall Street's fault.

Here are a few generally held beliefs about fiscal and social conservatives:

1.) uncompassionate
2.) racist
3.) out-dated
4.) tight with money
5.) selfish and greedy
6.) elitists that believe in trickle down vs. trickle up

Addressed one by one as reasons why the conservative movement couldn't have been responsible

1.) uncompassionate: lending to people to can't afford homes is very compassionate and the opposite of conservative's who believe you should probably earn something before you get it
2.) racist: a lot of the sub-prime lending was to minorities
3.) out-dated: no conservative would support a million different types of exotic financing
4.) tight with money: why would a conservative endorse over-paying for a home?
5.) selfish and greedy: why would a conservative suggest other's get rich?
6.) elitist: no conservative would support such a wide-spread trickle-up method of wealth creation

Take your pick, libs. Either we are the opposite of how you portray us in the media, or you are responsible. Either way, you are wrong and lose again.
