Well, you could always just stop making the payments and let the government bail you out!

See - - what does that move tell people that actually think like that. They will do exactly that. Sad.
That is true. My question is still - what can they do after they gave the houses to them? Kick them out in the street? How can a person lose their home that were hoodwinked by the lenders? It's almost the only solution, unless someone knows something better. I'm not that far into seeing a better option for these people.

Will that last vote include the fraudulent ACORN votes?

PO, it is time to fall back to the last line of defense. The Bradly effect.

only about 6% of these loans are acutlly defaulting. They are likely to have to do something. like refinancing the bad ARMS to low fixed rate mortgages.

now I think in some instances, doing a refi on some of these might actually bring the value of the assets (that would be a package of a bunch of loans together) back up. without acutally costing anything in real dollars, but Im not an economist.
Then you get into riots and theft. You can't force them out now.

On the last part of your post - it seems that McCain's idea is the same as yours. He didn't elaborate, but I think that was the bailout talk.

That's what I meant. I read this morning that an ACORN office in Nevada was raided.

Right, but we feared this with Kerry too.

Re: 2nd Presidential Debate

Here's something interesting that I read this morning.

Before everyone succumbs to a terminal case of inevitabilititis, it's worth remembering we've been here before. In the last months of the primary campaign, the press kept assuring Hillary fans that Obama's victory was inevitable and the shriller the media Obamaboppers got, the more bluecollar Dems sat on their hands. In the end all the King's horses and all the King's men had to drag the guy across the finish line. You couldn't replay his spectacular victory in slow-motion because it was already slower than any slo-mo technology ever invented.

So we already know there's a huge disconnect between the unstoppable Messianic force promoted by the media and the cooler appraisal by actual voters.

Yet Obama still can't open up a solid lead. After all, why would record numbers of viewers watch the vice-presidential debate if the election's already over?

Re: 2nd Presidential Debate

I just hope that the American people don't give up and just stay home and not vote.

With the polls pushing his "great" lead, which if it were the other way around they'd say a slight lead and the confusion on the economy it may cause some to say "what's the need to even go vote."
