I typed it in and did not find it.

Thank you for providing what you claimed even if it didnt quite read like you suggested.

Of course it didn't. I was obviously using hyperbole. (Note the made up adjectives).

The fact is, this dude had a lover at the company, protected it from regulation for a long time, and even in 2008 just before the crap hit the fan he was still talking about how fundamentally sound they were. When McCain did that kind of crap he was rightfully excoriated. When Frank does it, "Well, he pwned that silly student who questioned him!"

It's really interesting to watch all the people who complained about the other side's supposed religious fervor in their party do exactly what they complained about when the power tide ebbs.

Which doesn't change exactly what I stated.

I guarantee that if I as an R had a lover there at any time, and then did these same actions, you would be all over it like white on rice, and IMO it would be right for you to be.
 
Why is it in twelve years the Rs ran the committee they did no reform yet Frank got it done in 19 months?

Then why did you mention the guy?

I mentioned it because it is salient. The company began giving him money before that, continued, he even had a lover at the company and continued to talk it up for a long time, in fact right up to its collapse. If any R had done these things the "Desh" I know would have been pointing out their corruption. When a D does it, she's defending them like Dixie would the R.

And see the threads of Onceler and I talking about the reform if you want the answers to those questions.
 
People are allowed to have personal relationships.

How much did the other members of that commision get?

Again why did the R leadership not reform them in the twleve years they held sway?

They didn't have 12 years sway. This is getting repetitive. Who held the Senate for four years of Bush's 8?

And again, I spoke of this on a different thread dedicated to that, you read it, made comments, etc. Please, stop pretending that past conversations never take place.

This thread is to celebrate the return of the uptick rule.

In 2007 after a request by the Finance Committee, the SEC removed the rule. Can you tell me who headed up the Committee at that time? Was he walking around telling us that FM & FM were fanstupentastically funded uber-companies that would never fail?

Nothing like mixing apples and oranges. The Uptick Rule was removed by the Republican majority on the SEC headed by Chris Cox a former Republican Congressman. I would like to be directed to the source of your information regarding Democratic(Frank?) requests to remove the rule.

Don't hold your breath waiting for an answer to that one. We're already well versed that everything is Frank's fault, so getting that law passed couldn't have been of his doing.
