Irony Example 1,208,921,246

Isn’t it ironic? Don’t you think? Good thing for these Republican voters that the bleeding heart liberals are in charge now, huh.

Today’s losers losing their homes are Republican districts. At least according to the Center for Responsible Lending, who has just issued a new report that shows nine of the top ten districts with the most foreclosures are Republican and most likely to receive the bulk of any homeowner bailout, and thus, at least according to one On Air editor of a major cable network, fit the definition of “losers”.

Things look a little better further down the list. However, only six of the 22 districts with more than 10,000 foreclosures projected are represented by Democrats, and only two of those have served a full term. So 20 of the 22 have been in Republican hands until very recently.

In other words, “Since the Rick Santelli’s of the world have been complaining about how the people who would be helped by this bill are so ‘irresponsible’ and are really just a bunch of ‘losers.’ …. Rick Santelli’s ‘losers’ may turn out to be the people who are supposedly his ideological fellow travelers.”

    Because the “R” in Republican is the second letter in GREED!

    I feel terrible for all the suffering going on in these areas. I especially feel sorry for the people of South Carolina and Louisiana who have to put up with such heartless and incompetent governors.

    Did anybody look at the data in the linked posts? Apparently the people who got homes they couldn’t afford are not just Republican but they are not exactly minorities either.

    Which makes alot of sense to me — Republicans have worked at being this aspirational party without ever demonstrating or encouraging the kind of responsibility of discipline that gets you to real upward mobility.

    And now the members of their party have thrown them under the bus too. I feel sorry for them too…
