Democratic Congressman Jim McGovern received an ear full from constituents of Massachusetts’ Third Congressional District Tuesday evening during a debate with Republican challengers Marty Lamb and Independent Patrick Barron.
At one point during the debate which was sponsored by the local tea party, Rep. McGovern rebuffs criticism of his voting record and instead blames the George W. Bush administration for the collapse of mortgage giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, a response which drew loud “boos” from the audience:

Posted on October 27, 2010 at 9:35pmThis is a typical Democratic ploy blame the previous administration. Don’t they have anything else in their bag of dirty tricks. Gee maybe you need to blame yourself and the democratic senate and congress back in 2003 when they allowed all of the bad loans to be approved.

Posted on October 27, 2010 at 9:29pmOur great country was founded by and for the citizens of the thirteen colonies. It was designed to insure that a central government was controlled and limited by representatives of those citizens. It was given a limited amount of power, with many checks and balances, to secure the rights and freedoms for its citizens. They were making sure that an American Government would and could not become as Britian had. England enacted laws and taxes on their American subjects, but without allowing the colonies a say in their government. Ignoring the will of the people of America, they bullied and took away what limited rights they had and tried to force them to comply. Sound familiar? Yes, we don’t have to look far across the Atlantic at a despotic leader, we have only to look at the Oval Office in Washington, D. C. and to those whom we had entrusted the liberties of the people and the country. Our representatives, Senate and the House, are there to represent the will of the people. Instead, they have consistently lied to their constituents, both during campaigns and when in office. They have consistently robbed the American people, not only of their money, but also by stealing their liberties, little by little. The incumbent office holders allow themselves to be above the law, they allow themselves to steal by back-room corrupt deals and the like. They ignore the very people who put them in office, they even resort to passing laws, under cover of darkness. They hide laws and corrupt deals in the midst of thousand of pages of laws. This has always been a trick of unethical lawyers. Their mindset is to bog down any opposition by inudating them with mountains of paperwork. Then, they laugh and call the people stupid and ignorant, or worse! No doubt, I could go on and on. Their lack of character, morals and ethics makes them unfit to be employed anywhere, let alone entrusted with the security, freedom, and economic growth of this great country. They have taken your freedom to worship, especially targeting Christianity. They have tried to rewrite the American history, to further their agendas, just like the Moslems continue to do with Israel.
Soon after deciding what sort of Government America was to become, that very question was asked of Benjamin Franklin. In reply Franklin said, “A Republic….if we can keep it”. This is a question that should be upon the lips of all true American patriots. If we can’t or more correctly, if we won’t, then we don’t deserve it. The choice is up to us, the American people, and the answer should be and must be yes we will!
You’re probably asking how do we insure that we will keep this nation a free Republic. Oh, we voted for only those who promised no more taxes, no more spending, etc., etc. Of course they all were proven to be liars again (or should I have said they were just not quite forthcoming or perhaps they were a little disingenuious?). Then we did the “best of the two evils” choice. This was no different than the “Magician’s Choice” trick! We now know that there is no difference between Republicans and the Democrats when it comes to which is telling the truth. Neither has the best interest of America at heart, probably not even in mind! Their goal is simply to acquire power, money, more power and more money while doing and saying anything to remain in office.
So what is the answer? They don’t listen when the people, overwhelmingly, protest and tries to voice their opposition. So the American people need to get their UNDIVIDED attention. How? WE THE PEOPLE, must vote any and all incumbents out of office. It doesn’t matter if they are better than most. If they haven’t been part of the solution, then they are part of the problem. THEY MUST KNOW AND WE MUST LET THEM KNOW THAT GOVERNMENT WILL NO LONGER BE RUN BY ROUGUE LAWYERS AND OPPORTUNISTS, PROGRESSIVES (AKA SOCIALISTS), ETC. THEY ARE NOTHING MORE THAN MODERN-DAY CARPETBAGGERS OR WANNA-BE DICTATORS. THEY MUST BE EDUCATED TO THE FACT THAT THEY WILL BE VOTED OUT AGAIN AND AGAIN, UNTIL THEY LEARN THAT OUR REPRESENTATIVES ARE NO LONGER ABLE TO RUN THEIR OWN VERISON OF CRIME, INC.
AND THOSE THAT ARE ELECTED TO OFFICE, BUT CONTINUE TO DO WHAT IS BEST FOR THEIR OWN BENEFIT WILL SOON LEARN THEY WILL HAVE ONLY ONE TERM IN OFFICE.
We, the people, need to lobby our newly elected representatives to enact new laws to insure ALL our freedoms, our security, etc. Enact laws that ethical or criminal behavior of representatives will be prosecuted swiftly and severly, with no possibility of any pardon…not by a state Governor nor by a President! Enact laws or amendments to limit a President to one term only, ensuring that any damage to our country will not be as damaging as is obvious with this Government. Further limit the terms of our Representatives, both in the Senate and the House. Imperative to limit the term of all Supreme Court Justices to no more than an eight year term and make an amendment that the justices can no longer re-interpret the Constitution, but uphold the laws as it was written and intended by the original framers.
So, the bottom line is this: unless the American people get the undivided attention of those in government…when you and your family members are homeless and hungry or at the very least jobless…remember, you have only yourselves to blame.
THE ONLY WAY TO INSURE THAT YOUR FUTURE REPRESENTATIVES WILL LISTEN TO ITS CONSTITUENTS IS VOTE OUT ALL INCUMBENTS!!! FROM THAT POINT ON, EACH REPRESENTATIVE MUST KNOW WE WILL VOTE THEM OUT AGAIN AND AGAIN UNTIL WE HAVE RESPONSIBLE REPRESENTATIVES THAT UNDERSTAND THEY ARE THERE FOR THE WILL OF THE PEOPLE.

Posted on October 27, 2010 at 7:44pmIf there is one thing I hate it is the Democrats blaming EVERYONE ELSE for the housing debacle. If it wasn’t Bush it was Wall Street.
Meanwhile Obama, Dodd, Frank and Biden were among the biggest recipients of mortgage companies lobbyist money, including Fannie & Freddie. Biden’s son was a lobbyist for them, Obama was their top contribution recipient.
It is ludicrous.
YES _ it started with the repeal of Sorbanes Oxley, which was Lindsey Graham’s idea. But NO ONE forced the democrats to decide that people who could not afford mortgages deserved to get loans. And no one forced Fannie and Freddie to buy up any frickin’ mortgage any broker in the world could write to anyone who could fog a mirror.
The blame goes firmly to BOTH sides, but if you look at exactly who it was who that made the worst decisions that left us in this mess it was organizations like ACORN that forced banks into making loans to people with no income.
Also – does the blame really matter? When do we stop the tit for tat and start FIXING the mess? Fer Chrissakes, if we could fix two things in this country the recession might actually end:
The housing crisis and unemployment. The housing crisis has been an almost invisible campaign issue for years when in fact it is one of the biggest problems this country has.
Why are we wasting time on abortion, gay rights, illegal aliens etc when we have this huge housing crisis?? You know, if people felt they had SOME wealth they might actually stimulate the economy by buying stuff. It amazes me how much politicians generally have no understanding of the economy at all.

Posted on October 28, 2010 at 9:28amI guess if libs can somehow prove that Bush’s policies somehow forced banks to make loans to unqualified borrowers to avoid lawsuits from ACORN lawyers like Barack Hussein Obama (before he was elected) and ended up being bought and sold in massive quantities by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac under the guidance of Chris Dodd and Barney’s Frank, which created a massive bubble of toxic sub-prime DEBT in the portfolios of Democrat controlled Wall Street banks like Goldman-Sachs that eventually burst, causing average Americans to lose massive value in their homes, their jobs and their retirement accounts, then I guess they have a case.
