"Obama worked for Acorn to sue banks into giving poor people 100 % financing mortgages"

Isn't it just possilbe that the real culprits are the ones who benefited the most from this meldown? And who would that be? Some poor person who is being forced out of his home? Or some executive on Wall Street who had no interest in whether the loan could be payed becuase his bonus came from making, not sound loans, but ninja or liar loans that looked good on paper if the loan was repaid, but blew up on someone elses ledger when it couldn't.

In a similar vein. Who benefits from voter fruad? The person who shows up at the polls and claims to be someone else (probably happens once in a while) Can that one vote actually effect the outcome of an election? If you answer yes to that question then you must also agree that when, in an attempt to stop voter fraud you actually keep a legitimate voter from the polls, you have created a larger problem.

The GOP doesn't care about voter fraud. They care about keeping people from the polls. They are the ones who are looking at a historical route so they may as well push this voter fraud issue so that they can suppress the vote or claim they lost because of it.

If you posters here actually cared about voting you would be more outraged at elctronic voting machines that are easy to hack and almost impossible to trace. But ofcourse that would be voter fraud on a larger scale than some homeless guy showing up to cast his vote for his bribe. How about for once focusing on the players that have the most to gain instead of blaming some individual group like the poor who are the victims in this case.

Incidentally there is no law that requires banks to lend to anyone. If that were the case we wouldn't have a credit freeze right now, would we?
