Was it caused by false rumor info spreading? Probably. Fred Posted by Lubow on July 16, 2008, 7:50 pm Hello, FrediFizzx!

Many many companies got caught up in the subprime mess and for sure many of them have to share the consequences. The question remains as to whether they could have learned from their mistakes and turned it around had the "run" not happened. It is not hard for rumor mongers to take down any weakened company. Do you think it is fair to take down a weakened company by spreading false rumors? I am sure that you don't. Perhaps we will find out what really happened and perhaps we won't. Fred Posted by Uncle_vito on July 17, 2008, 12:46 am Democrats will do whatever is necessary to make the Republicans and Bush look bad. Including bringing down the economy, wishing for more deaths in Iraq and making minorities feel like powerless victims. Look at what Schumer did to IMB, a perfectly good bank. I want to emphasize the word bank. They were closing their mortgage lending and were only handling checking accounts and CD's. Pretty harmless stuff unless some asshole causes a run on the bank. Thanks to that asshole, some folks will only get 50% of any of their deposits over $100K. I am sure charities, and widows and orphans kept money in that bank. I hope the SEC investigates him and puts him in jail. Democrats are insanely sick.

Of course, a Republican congress would do no such thing to a Democratic president, like, e.g., spending $50MM on Whitewater and coming up with zilch. And, of course, Ken Starr and his staff worked for free in donated office space. Yeah. Right. And look at all Starr and his witchhunters accomplished for our republic! But the reality is Democrats do not have to do anything to make Bush look bad. The administration does enough to make itself look bad. If Democrats worked like the Republicans did when they were in power, Dick Cheney would be behind bars right now. >Look at what Schumer did to IMB, a perfectly good bank. Apparently, the FBI disagrees with you as what constitutes "a perfectly good bank." But who the hell is the FBI compared to an internet genius like Uncle V? Lubow.
