    im' not talking about seats... everything i post goes right over your head. You don't take the time to actually read and asses. You're so quick to jump to defend the democrats that you don't take the time to actually make an opinion. I bet you didn't even watch the video. IF YOU DID IN FACT WATCH IT, the proof is irrefutable. Dem's are the reason for the housing bubble and subsequent meltdown 110% percent.

    no difference between you and i... i posted the FACTS you post bias propaganda w/o seeing it took both parties to get us into this mess. obviously the english language isn't your strong point either b/c when you say the dems controlled both house/senate since 2002... that means they held the MAJORITY. that is untrue.

    nice try though.

    actually, the only facts you posted were what seats were held by dems and republicans. i said nothing about seats. you, again, obviously do not get what i'm saying. It did not take both parties to get involved in this mess. The INCEPTION of this bill was a GOOD IDEA ( this was the only part the rep's had their hand in). THEN the clinton administration and the democrats proposed changes to the bill that is in place in which has failed our economy. IF YOU WATCH THE VIDEO YOU CAN CLEARLY SEE THIS. In 03 and 05 the republican party, namely the bush administration TRIED TO FIX THESE OBVIOUS PROBLEMS, but the democrats would not come to terms with anything. THUS, putting us in our epidimic. Look past the "oh well dem's have 48 seats and rep's 52, so they obviously had control!" Look at the votes, and what was voted on, and who would meet with who on certain issues that actually got us where we are today. Don't be so narrow minded. You obviously have done ZERO research other than what's plain to see. YOU are the type of american that refuses to look past anything and dig for truth, you are ignorant in this subject. CLEARLY.

    ya i'm clearly ignorant... the bolded statement says it all about your CLEARLY SUPERIOR KNOWLEDGE on how govt works.

    i'll break it down w/ our current situation.... example:

    bush wants to bailout failing companies he wants to put all power in 1 man's hands to control funding of the bailout. there are no provisions in this original plan. dems say sorry but lots of factors need to be added for this to work: oversight dealing out the money and limitations on earnings of execs we are bailing out.

    so perfect working example of how things work... two different points of views on how policy should be written. your take is b/c dems disagree they are at fault for not fixing but fail to see when you make policies opposition comes from both sides.

    do you honestly think people should just say yes to every bit of policy rep throw out?

    dont talk before watching the video. There is factual evidence INSIDE THE YOUTUBE VIDEO (mystical, i know). from documents and you can research the entire video for it's 100% truth IF YOU'D LIKE. i already took my time and it is in fact 100% correct. Now, please, before you and admin have a circle jerk about how great democrats are, watch the video.
