Perry, could you, like, give it a rest. Many of us here are disaffected Dems because of Hillary. We’re voting McCain/Palin this election cycle. Who knows how many of us will go back to the Dems. All I know at this point is that the Democratic Party, the Party I’ve supported and voted and contributed to all my adult life is as corrupt as the GOP. No matter how you whitewash it the Democrats are culpable in this bailout mess, just like the Republicans, only more so this time around. This election has solidified for me that we’re all Americans first and my McCain/Palin vote represents that.

Hey, if you can’t track the FedEx number, it’s probably because the item hasn’t actually been picked up yet by them. The store probably has a “spotted” trailer outside that the store loads up and then FedEx comes by every so often to pick up the trailer. It could take a couple of days before the package gets a scan at the hub. Keep checking your tracking number. Same thing happens with packages at UPS and DHL. I used to be in the shipping industry and this is probably what happened.

Media Matters is a liberal group. For the conservative side, pundit Flopping Aces has a good guide. http://www.floppingaces.net/2008/09/18/8726/

Here’s some of the skinny on Frank:

Frank Blocked Multiple Attempts At Reform Spanning Back To 1992:

“[Frank's] Record Is Close To Perfect As A Stalwart Opponent Of Reforming The Two Companies, Going Back More Than A Decade. The First Concerted Push To Rein In Fan And Fred In Congress Came As Far Back As 1992, And Mr. Frank Was Right There, Standing Athwart. But Things Really Picked Up This Decade, And Barney Was There At Every Turn.” (Editorial, “Fannie Mae’s Patron Saint,” The Wall Street Journal, 9/10/08)

“In 2000, Then-Rep. Richard Baker Proposed A Bill To Reform Fannie And Freddie’s Oversight. Mr. Frank Dismissed The Idea, Saying Concerns About The Two Were ‘Overblown’ And That There Was ‘No Federal Liability There Whatsoever.’” (Editorial, “Fannie Mae’s Patron Saint,” The Wall Street Journal, 9/10/08)

“Two Years Later, Mr. Frank Was At It Again. ‘I Do Not Regard Fannie Mae And Freddie Mac As Problems,’ He Said In Response To Another Reform Push. And Then: ‘I Regard Them As Great Assets.’” (Editorial, “Fannie Mae’s Patron Saint,” The Wall Street Journal, 9/10/08)

“Again In June 2003, The Favorite Of The Beltway Press Corps Assured The Public That ‘There Is No Federal Guarantee’ Of Fan And Fred Obligations.” (Editorial, “Fannie Mae’s Patron Saint,” The Wall Street Journal, 9/10/08)

“A Month Later, Freddie Mac’s Multibillion-Dollar Accounting Scandal Broke Into The Open. But Mr. Frank Was Sanguine. ‘I Do Not Think We Are Facing Any Kind Of A Crisis,’ He Said At The Time.” (Editorial, “Fannie Mae’s Patron Saint,” The Wall Street Journal, 9/10/08)

“Three Months Later He Repeated The Claim That Fannie And Freddie Posed No ‘Threat To The Treasury.’ Even Suggesting That Heresy, He Added, Could Become ‘A Self-Fulfilling Prophecy.’” (Editorial, “Fannie Mae’s Patron Saint,” The Wall Street Journal, 9/10/08)

“In April 2004, Fannie Announced A Multibillion-Dollar Financial ‘Misstatement’ Of Its Own. Mr. Frank Was Back For The Defense. Fannie And Freddie Posed No Risk To Taxpayers, He Said, Adding That ‘I Think Wall Street Will Get Over It’ If The Two Collapsed.” (Editorial, “Fannie Mae’s Patron Saint,” The Wall Street Journal, 9/10/08)

NOBODY will activate the draft for anything short of an actual invasion of the USA, because to activate it for anything less would be political seppuku for the party that did it.
