Spence -

"Do we really think that a hallmark of Republican party -- lower regulation -- is the answer to preventing a similar calamity with our economy? I'm not sure I know anyone who seriously thinks so."

Spence, I don't think less regulation is what's needed. We need regulation to prevent financial institutions from selling mortgage-backed cecurities the way it was done before.

But your memory is unbelievably selective. Part o fthe problem was subprime mortgages. I posted a link to a bill that the GOP proposed that would have tightened the controls a bit at Fannie and Freddie. That bill was defeated by the Democrats. Therefore, it seems to me that "less regulation" isn't an ide athat the GOP has a monopoly on.

You keep bending over like a contortionist to avoid criticizing Obama. Obama has never conceded that the Democratic party did anything to cause the recession. All he does is blame Democrats. Yet you do admit that both sides were at fault. If you think the Democrats were partly to blame, but Obama says it was all the GOP's fault, why can't you criticize Obama for his stance?

Answer? You are not rational. There is no fairy tale or excuse you won't hang your hat on to avoid critizing the Messiah. Obama's party controlled the legislature since January 2006, yet in his inauguration speech, all he did was blame Bush.
