This post really helped me in writing some thoughts about John McCain and his self awareness. The piece was about leadership and McCain’s own style. I tried to do a pingback, but I’m not sure it worked, so I thought I’d say hello the old fashioned way!

btw, the piece is online at http://www.fourgroups.com/blog/archives/19/john-mccain-and-self-awareness/

GO McCAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

God, that felt good.

and more

This is an open thread and everyone stayed on topic. Go figure.

Here is my off topic. Andy Martin is getting more death threats from Obama Campaign. It apperas that the threats are coming from his gaza supporters?
It’s a Muslim name?
And-this site is hijacked and someone is watching. I can tell. It was monitored in the past by Barfy’s google minions.
Andy says:
We are notifying appropriate law enforcement,” Martin will state. “We have no way of gauging the seriousness of these threats. But people were already concerned for our safety. Receiving threats does not make it any easier. Some of us have a feeling we are heading into a hornet’s nest of secret evidence involving Obama’s concealed past; that is the reason why he has been smearing me using his media puppies during the past week. In any event, we take threats very seriously.

“Obama’s campaign is led from behind the scenes by people who have a history of extremely violent action. His authoritarian personality also lends itself to violent support. We will exercise all appropriate security precautions.
“And we will not be intimidated from seeking the truth in Hawaii about the mysterious Mr. Obama.”

Obama is legit and a son of Hawaii.
If you’re gonna trash someone from Hawaii, then stay away from Hawaii if you know what’s good for you.

I felt those things once before. I will never let them in again. I’m an American. And I choose to fight.

Don’t give up hope. Be strong. Have courage. And fight.

& Yes, i think divided government is exactly what we need right now, & Senator McCain is the right man for that job. Consider how difficult it is going to be for a Repub Pres in a radical Progressive senate/house that is filibuster & veto resistant. McCain’s president will likely be thankless -a labor of love that would be a career destroying move for any other Republican.

He will likely get little done aside from slowing the tide of progressive legislation. People will likely condemn him as ineffective without appreciating the political obstacles he faced & the disastrous alternative of an Obama administration in 2008-2012.

All the more reason to admire the courage & sacrifice of this great Patriot! Thank you Senator McCain, you make me so proud to be an American!

Country First! God Bless America!

Please do not leave out the Sellers and what their part was in this. They knowingly sold or flipped a house they bought for $70k and sold it for $650k. Any home/land sold for more than 5 percent a year annual appreciation (the historical norm) should be investigated and prosecuted.

On all failed mortgages, the government needs to go after sellers who profited despite loan fraud. In all cases, the US should prosecute these profiteers and the realtors involved should give back their commissions since a valid, legal sale was not the result.

And yes, he is listening. Part of his mortgage plan is to make all mortgages recourse loans which is a deterant to the “walk-aways” on the non-recourse loans.

imo, a permanent black mark should be placed on the credit profiles of all those who’ve been foreclosed on from 2005 - 2015. Never again should any of them who contributed to this world crisis be able to secure a home loan. Let them pay cash.

1) lay off abortion and embryonic stem cell research restrictions - most Americans are a) pro-choice & pro-embryonic stem cell research and b) DON’T WANT GOVERNMENT LEGISLATING RELIGIOUS ISSUES

2) are ticked off that after we were responsible, sacrificed, and saved, we have to bail out people who have good jobs and KNOWINGLY signed on the dotted line for a free lunch mortgage - this isn’t an abstract, we all know people like that who put no money down and said we were dumb for saving up 20%, people who bought McMansions they couldn’t afford without a crazy loan THEY UNDERSTOOD and cashed out and bought SUV’s and said we were dumb for not doing the same.

Real people are saying all these things. Is he listening? I wonder.
