Charles Bee /p> p> I still have not figured out what happened to allow the credit rating agencies to continue to rate Freddie and Fannie at AAA even though there were problems well known to the Congress. I also can not figure out how anything can be considered to be fixed without changing the rules to qualify for loans. I have heard that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac still have rules that are not greatly changed. If I don't get some kind of signal that the problems are fixed, then instead of being a bail out, this is just a continuing resolution that will happen again in the future. br> -- Danny L.

I am endlessly amused by conservatives who keep wishing that McLame were conservative. How long is it going to take (forever?) for you folks to come to grips with the fact that McLame is not now a conservative, he never has been a conservative and he is never going to be a conservative.

Mr. Ferrara's ideas for the McLame campaign were exactly on point. That is precisely why they will never be heeded or adopted. They make too much sense to a conservative, which McLame is not.

McLame is going to go down to defeat at the hands of the least qualified and most socialist candidate in the history of the Republic -- and a man who has proven himself to be one of the most inept campaigners in history, to boot. All because McLame would rather have the title of "Bi-partisan" and "Maverick" than win the election.

He had two issues handed to him on a silver platter, either of which would have given him the election in a landslide if properly handled -- the energy crisis and the sub prime mortgage fiasco. McLame managed to not only not take the initiative on either of those issues, he fumbled both of them on his own two yard line.

p>What an absolute idiot. It's a shame to tie a classy person like Sarah Palin to this jack-ass. br> -- Keith Kunzler /p>
