FAnnie Freddie and GOP

[rayboyusmc]

WASHINGTON – Freddie Mac secretly paid a Republican consulting firm $2 million to kill legislation that would have regulated and trimmed the mortgage finance giant and its sister company, Fannie Mae, three years before the government took control to prevent their collapse.

In the cross hairs of the campaign carried out by DCI of Washington were Republican senators and a regulatory overhaul bill sponsored by Sen. Chuck Hagel, R-Neb. DCI's chief executive is Doug Goodyear, whom John McCain's campaign later hired to manage the GOP convention in September.

ty, a VERY ENLIGHTENING article!

I knew, and am on record of several posts on this very site, of calling bullcrud on the republicans saying the Dems stopped them from voting on this bill...I pointed out that the republican controlled congress NEVER brought it up for a vote, THUS the Dems could NOT have filibustered it!

They never brought it up because of the republicans that were lobbied not to sign on to it....gees, we live in such a scummy world where money talks and walks....
