(62,325 posts)expecting more than 'new rules' to tell those naughty people 'you just can't do that anymore'. How ridiculous, the FBI has been trying to stop that fraud for years, but Bush rather than allow them to go do their jobs, pulled many of them off the job leaving short staffed and unable to do so.
Then we elected Democrats expecting to see PROSECUTIONS for the fraud and corruption, and all we got was some new rules? When was it ever LEGAL to scam people??? Passing 'new rules' is like saying 'this USED to be okay but now it's not'.
So sick of the excuses and obfuscations. No wonder there are more Independents now in this country than members of EITHER party. Do you think you are helping the Dem Party with all these excuses for everything they HAVEN'T done?
We know what went on, you're not talking to a bunch of ignorant, blind Bush supporters. WE ARE DEMOCRATS who followed all of this AS IT WAS HAPPENING, and some of us know some of the victims of these scams who have received NO justice while the crooks have received TRILLIONS in bailouts. It's despicable and no amount of trying is going to change the facts.
Now we have to move on, and this time, make sure to get PROGRESSIVE DEMS elected, enough of them to start the job of applying the rule of law. Because what happened here was NOT 'just immoral' as Obama unbelievably said, as if that was okay, it was CRIME on a massive scale.
