Republicans and Democrats if the real failure of the Bush White House was the inability to stop the left wing?

The Fanny and Freddie scandal actually began under the Clinton Administration and was supposed to boost minority home ownership. Although the Bush Administration did nothing to end the madness, they did warn congress that the poop was about to hit the fan. Barney Frank and Chris Dodd "pooh-poohed" the situation and insisted that Fannie and Freddie were fine. source

So the Democrats unveiled their health care bill?

A new fee on banks to recover TARP funds?

Bammer can demonize the banks, then tax them to get funding for his idiot programs. People will think he is putting it to the banks when he is really having the people who use the banks, and have to pay higher fees, bend over. They are getting a tax increase but are to dumb to realize it. And his sheep in congress will tell everyone how wonderful it is that they are putting it to those terrible bankers. source

What principles do liberals follow?
