EXPLOITING TAXPAYER RAGE NOT THE WAY BACK FOR GOP
Rick,
Surprised you let Tim slide.
:
:Tim, you are to be commended. You completely hit the nail on the head. Rick Moran IS a "loyal, GOP sock puppet". I couldn't have described him any better.
That was incredibly astute. And everything else you said about GOP as "poor hating, gay hating" and "gop as terorists" also broke new ground.
What we missed are your ideas for the GOP, how we can better appeal to incredibly astute voters like you.

Smart thinking, good post. I think a dose of optimism is a good prescription for the GOP, but not right now. Not yet. We have reason to be ticked, let it fester a minute. (And you may be saying the same thing, it depends on when you think campaigns start.)
I'm not convinced that Obama has necessarily ceded the HOPE territory. Once he uses fear to enact his agenda, which he's doing at lightning speed, I think he'll quickly revert back to campaign mode. That's where he's most comfortable, under the "O" orb.
At that point, we will either have already claimed the mantle of the party of optimism and "bright future", or we'll have to wrestle it from Obama.
So, it comes down to timing, doesn't it? If we had a willing media, we could flip a switch and the buzz would change with a new template within minutes. But we don't, so whoever is going to create our message has to hit the target right on, timing-wise.

THE SANTELLI RANT: A RED BULL RUSH
bsjones,
I think you found the answer. The bank securitized your loan, and cannot modify the terms without resecuritizing it and maybe there are no programs that you will fit into.
How many other firms did you call? I assume as many as you could find, I probably would. We had a mortgage thru Wells Fargo a few years back. I don't remember them being flexible, I think they hold their own paper. Many times you will find that when your original bank turns you down others are very interested because they have more flexibility. I think you ought to go thru a broker. Call around.

bsjones,
From what I understand, you need to be living in the home to qualify for help. The goal is to keep people in shelter, not to mitigate financial pressure. Is that what the issue is with your refi?

Michael,
We apply gentle and non-damaging punishments, just enough pain to teach a lesson.
So, using your parenting principles, when your son Michael Jr. does something wrong, you increase his allowance, and you penalize his sister Mary instead. That will teach Susie a lesson!

Oh, duh.
I forgot, Michael. You believe in Obama. But isn't he kind of an ill-formed mythology?

As a "practical person", I punish my child when he does something wrong. I don't give him an increase in his allowance. I have no idea what you think rewarding bad choices will get you in the long run. Hmmm. Maybe more bad choices? Did you learn it some other way?
Michael,
Whew, aren't you a snob? What gives you the impression you will "pay a hell of a lot more of the bill than most of" us? Our writing style? Because we disagree with you, we are therefore stunted mentally and financially? Gee, wonder where the term "elitist" comes from.
Most of us don't want to "punch some dumb ass", we just don't want to pay his bills. And it is pretty disgusting that you think you have the right to tell us that we should want to.
Ideology, purity, ill-formed mythologies. What do you believe in Michael, besides your own intellectual superiority?

Your answer was priceless. Thanks for that, really.

I see. "We" had our chance, now you have yours, and we need to STFU (ah, a college grad).
I take it you are in favor of slavery reparations? Because this is what is happening, just nobody will call it that. This administration is obviously targeting assets of the "haves" to give to black people in urban areas. The haves got it by abusing black people, right? They shouldn't have so much in the first place, right? Well, Obama will fix it.
As the Obama administration takes a whip to our backs, "using the full force of the office" to force us into submitting to the massive transfer (stealing) of our wealth, when will be allowed to speak up again?
After everything has been taken from us?
