Does anyone believe the Democrats orchestrated this crisis to win the election and to change this nation?

I am not a conspiracy theorist but something does not sit right with me ...one month before a election the housing collapse and all the so called bright people in Washington did not see it coming....please watch the video before responding http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LPSDnGMzI鈥?/a> I am curious if anyone else don't smell a ratDoes anyone believe the Democrats orchestrated this crisis to win the election and to change this nation?Absolutely, but it is their standard operating procedure. Democrats win elections by creating victims and villains. In Republican administrations Democrats constantly state that we are in a recession. They were stating this almost from the beginning of the Bush Presidency even though there was no evidence to support the contention. Their claims would be pretty useless were it not for the media constantly reinforcing and presenting these statements as actual fact rather than providing adequate analysis. The danger in this combination is that if you state something like this often enough and people begin to believe it then it ultimately becomes a self fulfilling prophesy as people lose faith and stop spending. Recession then becomes a reality as market capital dries up.



However there are deeper forces at work which aided the Democrats. These being the pressures applied to make funds available to unqualified applicants and the resistance to proper oversight or investigation of the entities charged with implementing the process. In short, the Democrats fear mongered the recession and refused to allow proper investigation of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. The funniest thing yet is that they are now demanding a return to business as usual in these lending practices using the exact same failed entities and standards. Can you say vicious circle?



The Republicans must bear responsibility for this also. Their response was to deny any problems in the economy which helped defer the crises for a time, but really refused to push for the oversight and investigation which was required. This was a hallmark of the Bush administration though. Any policy proposal which was challenged to harshly outside of Homeland Security and the War effort was immediately scrapped as being dead on arrival.

if they didn't plan it, they caused it.

No. The Bush/Cheney Junta screwed everything up so bad the Dems didn't even have to try.
Your link didn't work.
A crisis is a terrible thing to waste....Rahm Emanuel
the collapse didn't happen one month before the election. It started happening in august 2007. Geez, get your facts straight.



Hey dipshit.........your question and I quote...



%26quot;one month before a election the housing collapse and all the so called bright people in Washington did not see it coming%26quot;



and your damn link doesn't lead to a video.



I can also tell when a republican asks a question...it's full of conspiracy with no backing or rational. Just fearmongering and FUD.
If you believe that, you'd have to also believe that Republicans orchestrated 9/11.
No.
Yes
They aren't smart enough to orchestrate anything.



What Pelosi did, upon her taking her little thrown, was to torpedo the economy and hope for the best.



Now they have 2 years in the candy store to make America USSR before America tosses them all of Congress into the street in the mid term.



Then it will be Commi Obami and a Republican Congress, and more gridlock.



Gridlock is why the Clinton's last term was so good, government was barred from screwing everything up. Clinton couldn't enact his commi agenda!
duh? passs the joint
Wow now that would make Democrats the master of all organizations in planning,message discipline,organizing,development and every other organizational skill known to man. Think about all the people that would have to be involved in a conspiracy that large, and it would have to include other nations and would have had to be put in place years ago when Obama was in his 20's
The Housing / Banking crisis was actually very easy to spot for folks who are financially literate. The only problem is that it was not able to really come to fruition until the masses learned exactly why interest-only subprime mortgages could spell doom for an economy built on the wealth associated with the debt if housing prices ever went down.



Not surprisingly, someone leaked this information into the financial community and eventually the country at large and that is exactly what happened. Those mortgages and associated securities were always worthless, the only differences is that nobody knew about it. Investor confidence is tied directly to how much the investing public knows and once that cat was out of the bag, the economy took a nose dive.



Personally, I think you may be right. After all, it was democrats Barney Frank, Chris Dodd, and the folks at ACORN who were directly responsible for causing the current crisis - the Republicans are only guilty of sitting on their hands and keeping their mouths shut while the Democrats were setting up the American people, and in Bush's case, for taking advantage of the crisis with his bailout proposal.
If you believe that, you must also believe that cheese is actually flavored C4.
The Republicans have had the power during these last thirty years. Clinton bowed to them. Bush had the veto. No this sits squarely with the Republicans and their mania for tax cuts and deregulation.
You're a walking contradiction, first you say ...%26quot;one month before the election the housing collapse%26quot;, then you criticize BO for calling you out on it by saying %26quot;any moron knows the crisis did not start a month before%26quot;.... Can you get your incoherent statement together before hitting preview, you're making republicans look like a bunch of imbeciles, never mind, they're doing a pretty good job of that on their own.
With the obvious support of a Republican president, Republican senate, and Republican congress???



Wow!!! We're more powerful than I thought!
I'm not a conspiracy theorist either but my first thought on all this spending was to get us used to a big deficit so the Dems could raise our taxes.
no, they are just trying to clear up BUSH'S MESSES of 8 years!!
