Ya, after Wall Street heard Obama couldn't get 70,000 to fill the stadium
they figured Romney/ Ryan would be a shoo in. 
No one is taking any chances though, Gold is at an all time high.
Who knows, only thing for sure is there won't be any lightning deaths at the stadium
tonight.  |

I believe what he actually said was...

We know that churches and charities can often make more of a difference than a poverty program alone. We don’t want handouts for people who refuse to help themselves, and we certainly don’t want bailouts for banks that break the rules.

You do know that earlier this year banks agreed to a $25 Billion settlement for reckless lending don't you?

Spence - he insinuates that the GOP is tricking into bad mortgages because "We" believe, than the other people don't
Quote:
We believe that when a family can no longer be tricked into signing a mortgage they can't afford, that family is protected,
but so is the value of other people's homes, and so is the
entire economy.

It's really just a remark about regulation, the GOP opposed many of the reforms the democrats pushed through.

There are some good articles on this, CRA influenced lending wasn't a big contributor to sub-prime defaults.

It's a convention speech, I'd expect a bit of hyperbole or it will be boring...and considering the deregulation the GOP has discussed, not that crazy of a statement to make.
