A lot of talk yesterday about the foreclosure scandal sweeping the nation. With calls mounting for Congress to intervene, we are starting to see bigger names in Washington coming out to protect the poor bankers. Here’s Eric Cantor coming to their defense yesterday: What we’re talking about, Debbie, you have 10 percent, if that, of […]
Sovereign citizens are the craziest of the crazies. They are the most extreme of the right, believing that the federal government has zero authority and even rewrite history to say as much. But it doesn’t stop there. These people are also some of the worst predators out there: They call themselves sovereign citizens, U.S. residents […]
It amazes me every time I hear Boehner decry federal money as being a failure. He tried to do it on the stimulus by saying there were no stimulus projects happening in Ohio, despite one going on a couple of miles from his own house. Now we have this issue: Nearly a year and a […]

The new Republican strategy to prevent people from voting – foreclosures. The Michigan GOP plans to put their minders at polls in November to challenge people who may have been foreclosed on. Sounds like the GOPs master plan of disenfranchisement is coming to fruition.

Yup Americans are still losing their houses, no matter how hard the idiots on Wall Street try to tell you that the economy isn’t that bad.
This is rather shocking. Chabot is a staunch conservative, but this looks to be the reasons he is siding with Democrats: But when foreclosures in his hometown of Cincinnati skyrocketed, Chabot found himself aligned with Democrats – and against his party’s leaders, his conservative colleagues and the White House. I can say firsthand that foreclosures […]
