Wow, how desperate do you have to be to try to smear your opponent with one of your own most cherished traits?

She's a liar. So is McCain. We knew this, but it sure is nice to see it in print and backed up by the facts. Maybe someday we'll see an article about something they said that wasn't a lie, and that will be big news!

why don't you try googling the community reinvestment act? you'll find studies which prove that cra regulated entities were less likely to make these bad loans in the first place:"A Traiger & Hinckley LLP study of 2006 mortgage loan data suggests that the Community Reinvestment Act, a federal law that requires banks to help serve the credit needs of their local communities, including low- and moderate-income neighborhoods, deterred banks from engaging in the kinds of risky lending practices that are provoking the foreclosure crisis."<a class="user" href="http://www.reuters.com/article/pressRelease/idUS135259+07-Jan-2008+BW20080107">http://www.reuters.com/article/pressRelease/idUS13 ...</a>"The real culprits of this economic crisis are democrats that have continued to push reckless policies that forced banks to make sub prime loans in the first place"were those democrats? this one seems to be a republican:"In late 2006, as economists warned of an imminent housing market collapse, housing Secretary Alphonso Jackson repeatedly insisted that the mounting wave of mortgage failures was a short-term "correction." He pushed for legislation that would make it easier for federally backed lenders to make mortgage loans to risky borrowers who put less money down.
