I know ACORN is a very small player, but they are somewhat significant because of their political ties. And sure, the mortgage companies are to blame, but the people must share in it. The mortgage companies are being blasted while the citizens who took on a mortgage they couldn't pay are being helped by the government. For me, a lot of it goes back to personal responsibility. Don't buy crap you can't afford just because someone tells you it's a great deal. If you work hard and still can't afford a house, either rent or find a job that pays better. Not everyone can afford a house, plain and simple.

I'm willing to bet that Vick will be playing in the NFL next year. I guess that does make me a gambler. Oh well.

Conservatism is not about leaving people behind. Conservatism is about empowering people to catch up, to give them tools at their disposal that make it possible for them to access all the hope, all the promise, all the opportunity that America offers. - Marco Rubio
