Chuck,
You're logic eludes me. Banking oversight is at issue here. The regulators tried to blow the whistle and the Lib Dems lambasted them for the attempt.
And your saying what... that the Dems being politicians didn't mean their attacks on the regulators; secretly they were for tighter regulation.
By extension the Republicans who called Fannie and Freddie to task, risking labels of racism, also being politicians were likewise just lying and they secretly wanted looser regulation.
No; sometimes things are just as they seem. Too pull too much out of the video requires just too much imagination for me.
Now you could declare that the whole thing is a Fox News contrivance and that all the statements were taken out of context. But I don't think that is what your saying.
Anyway, for the benefit of sck, who no doubt thinks along those lines. If the tape was doctored, it's the best edit job in history. Dubbing of words would have had to take place because the meanings stand on their own, otherwise.
I do defend "W" against all unreasoned and habitual attackers. But he was no hero in any of this. I don't know how many years of vitriol a man can take and remain effective. The problem is attempts at reform were made, but they ended up much like the attempt to reform Social Security, in political purgatory.
sck,
Keep your hat it fits you.
