Hey Don, You wont ever hear McCain pressing on the GSE's because the old legislative errors of the dems pale in comparison to the recent fraud and mismanagement lobbied for by republican actors. McCain doesn't want to explain the fees paid to Bill Timmons and especially, Ric Davis, his campaign manager.You really ought to stop blaming Carter and Clinton. The real estate industry is solidly republican and all those brokers, agents, assessors, mortgage brokers, bankers, etc. made millions off this scandal. I bet there were Rotary Club seminars on getting in while the "getting was good". Froma Harrop has a good column in today's Projo, if you haven't seen it.
