That is actually a good song, too.

Keep your points.

Foiled again by Mark Knopfler!

Paul isn't running. Why not replace him with Barr who has the same views minus a few of the wacko ones.

Classic post hoc ergo propter hoc fallacy.
That guy strains too hard to connect the CRA to the sub-prime crisis when there isn't even a correlation. The CRA was enacted 30 years ago with Clinton making changes in 95. There was a jump in sup-prime lending in the late 90's as a result of CRA but died down around 2001. The Bush admin weakened the CRA yet subprime loans continued to rise.

Studies show the sub-prime loans made under Clinton as a result of the CRA performed quite well and had low default rates. Also lenders subject to the CRA made less subprime loans than private lenders that weren't subject to the regulation.

Notice how there are no lenders crying about the CRA and claiming that it forced them to make 120% loans, neg-am loans, interest-only loans etc.

But any idiot can make a video and put it on Youtube.

Ooh, there's a Proposition 8 thingy on it too. I've been meaning to pray about that one.

I find it odd that in 2004, a million people claimed they prayed over Bush or Kerry, and half of them received a "Bush" answer while half received a "Kerry" answer.

I just said it was interesting.

I like you, ute4ever, but if you are basing your vote on a poll on CG from people you don't know, then a better option would probably be "do not vote" (although a MUCH better option would be to read up on the candidates and find the one who most closely represents your views).

Do you really think 4ever would base his vote on a CG poll? I rather doubt it. And if someone like 4ever is, then that says an awful lot about the two candidates and the state of our politics.

I see we disagree about Dire Straights and Knopfler. One of my favorite bands and artists.

And yes, I've seen Knopfler both with Dire Straights and solo.
