Political Forums

[AzGryffindor]

Realistically, since the banks are viewing these forums, perhaps it would be a far better move to remove the more "radical" sections from the website if you want to be taken more seriously.

This is NOT a political forum everyone. PLEASE, there is plenty of people and information being shared in the other forums that are about loan and homes.

It is simple, don't click on the links in the political forums if you don't want to see or discuss these issues and please do not waste your time commenting in them.

Seems pretty simple or am I missing something?

Moe, I am not saying I don't agree that the government needs transparency, I am saying your attitude about someone posting they don't like the direction this forum is taking, and then you tell them to like it or leave it is pretty hateful and counter productive. Garry has contributed positive feedback, I get that this is your forum but.... wtf? I thought you started this to give information about "loans" not politics...

No offense but you need to get your facts straight. Gary hasn't been on here all the long and when he did come on he was pretty hateful and counter productive. Research the early posts and show me where I am wrong. It is Moe's forum and for Gary to post little temper tantrums because it isn't going his way should not be taken seriously.

[Moe Bedard]

CW is right, but me and Garry are cool now and we see eye to eye. Mutual respect is what we agreed on.

Az and judububu- Please don't confuse or put "your labels" on my passion with labels like anger or the new forums on this website as radical. That is just so stereotypical and so media mind conditioned response. I am not worried if the banks read these threads and I am not afraid to tell the truth.

I see you gave me a negative reputation AZ because I am discussing "real issues" that affect every woman, man and child in this country. That is pretty petty to take the time to give me a negative rep when I have done so much for homeowners for 3 years.

Maybe you need to wake up and realize that real change does not happen until we get our bank bought politicians out of Congress. I am going to spend my time going exposing the people who failed Main Street and who should not have jobs in 2010 and the corporation who should be bankrupt.

The same reason and the same people that are the reasons why you do not get help.

My son will carry the home saving torch.

* Let me ask you this Az, what have you done unselfishly to help your fellow Americans and donated hundreds of hours of time lately?

* Also what are you doing as an American to do "your" part in bringing change to our country?

Don't spin my words jdubu!

You are putting words like hateful and saying counter productive when referring to me. I take extreme offense to your allegations and the spin of my words. Get your facts straight please before you comment and please don't use words like hateful or spin my words.

I said I am prepared to loose members if they don't understand or like the fact that I am placing information in my forums that everyone should know and affects our daily lives. From money, to the food crisis to the Federal Reserve. These are the things the corporate media is not talking about.

If you don't like the material or don't want to participate, don't click on the links. Simple Az and jdubu2. If you don't like me, don't read what I have to say and converse with others. If it offends you so much, then I guess you just have to leave.

I can't please everyone and I am not Amnesty International, nor am I NACA.

I'm a man who believes in the Constitution and the Truth with a computer and a website. That is it and if I have got this far, then maybe I deserve just a little credit . Maybe you can consider extending some confidence my way by possibly thinking I may know a little bit about what I am doing.

If you all can do better or have better ideas, I am all ears. I am a reasonable man and all I ask is the same from you all.

HERE HERE MOE!!! I wish MORE people were as PRO-active as you...maybe this mess would be over. A lot of Americans get complacent and angry but do NOTHING to help themselvesor others. YOU have a voice and its a voice that needs to be heard! Without this site my home would probably be gone by now. I'll do EVERYTHING I can to help!! I've had it with these SCHMUCKS!!!

Moe, this caught my attention, is the reputation thing are the green squares you guys have? I only have 1 green square, does this mean I don't have a good reputation around here?
How does that work?

[Moe Bedard]

Lol..

There is a little scale under your screen name where people can add or take away from your reputation. Yours is fine and it is not bad.

Pdsfoley, so glad to have you on board and love the enthusiasm.

Thanks Moe, my reputation suddenly improved!

BTW, how do we know who give a good or bad reputation?

Click on "User CP" to the far left of the blue bar near the top next to FAQ and Donate. Then scroll all the way down to see the latest reputation received.

Yeah, that I do not know. You can see that you got one, but not who gave it, unless you are Moe I guess

[Melanie702]

what does it mean if it's not green, but grey? someone gave me a bad mark? how rude. C'mon, peeps, give me the green!

[ohhhdear]

How does this thingy work?

How do you give good marks?? What do you click-- the middle thing that says: "Add to reputation?" I hope so, because I've been clicking that trying to add to a good rep.............. hope that's not for a bad mark!

Maybe I should stop all this clicking..........

[ama125]

What is reputation?
Reputation is a way of rating users depending on the quality of their posts. If the administrators have enabled reputation, then the reputation icon will be visible in posts.
Reputation may be positive (green) , negative (red) or neutral (gray). Negative reputation may only be given if the administrator has enabled this. Neutral reputation is only given when the person giving reputation does not meet the criteria set by the administrator to affect someone else's reputation.
How do I give reputation?
To give reputation, click on the reputation icon (the scale) in the relevant post. This will reveal a form to complete with the reputation type (approve = positive/green, disapprove = negative/red) and the reason for giving the reputation. If negative reputation is disabled then it will not be displayed in this form. You may not give reputation for the same post twice.

Grey just means that the person giving the reputation does not yet have a high enough reputation themselves, I think. If someone like me with a high reputation clicked on your post and the reputation icon (scale) and approved of your post, you'd get a green dot and probably more than one. I believe the higher the reputation of the giver, the more weight it carries, hence more green dots (or red if he/she does not approve of your post).

Moe, this is a serious question:

When you say vote them ALL out... how do we exactly do that? They are BOTH to blame. The Right created the majority of this mess in the last eight years and the left came in recently and are not doing nearly enough( examp. give Credit card companys x amount of time to rape and pillage BEFORE implementing the restrictions) to fix it, but who the heck are we voting IN when we vote them ALL out? If they are truly the same...?

I for one have so much stress in my life, I will not be clicking on any political links, but I am uncertain how voting back in the party that didn't help us for eight years fixes anything?

[Moe Bedard]

Tartbird, Main Street needs a new party. One that is new, fresh and vetted by us, the people. This may take until 2012, but we need to work towards this. The career politicians and lobbying need to go.

I am going to try and help by identifying the true patriots like Ron Paul of Texas, Brad Sherman of Ca, Marcy Kaptur of Ohio etc. These are the true patriots and we need more like them. They are not perfect, but better that the rest BY FAR.

People like this Tart.

OK, I agree with you there, Moe. My God we need a third party in this country!

Thank you.

P.S. I think the Pelosi joke thing makes it seem like you are to the Right. I am sure there are some Palin joke websites if we look...

[Slim Shavings]

I'm sorry. Is this America not a government "OF the people" By the People and For the People" Or did I miss something. Personally there are lots of Washington types I don't like But its time America came to grip with its self. We all got so fat that we let Washington and Wall st run itself. Wall St is about Greed and Washington is about Power so what would you think they would do if left alone. The media has been bought. But we kept on spending and running in the fog of consumerism. And now were paying the price. Suddenly we are all becoming a lot smarter in banking, finance politics and who knows what else. If you think this is gonna be a thing where Washington/Wall St gets cleaned up and we get to go back to our old ways your in for a big surprise. Best get your self set and teach your kids that the future freedom of this country depends on being a lot more involved and aware. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news no matter which side of the aisle your on.

[Tartbird]

Slim, I saw what was going on, I didn't vote in those who I personally feel are most responsible for the meltdown, I didn't get a bad loan, but EVERYONE else on my street did and THAT affected MY value of my house. It is a government OF the people, but half the people didn't vote into power those who allowed the rampant greed. You can be completely aware of what is happening and still be unable to stop it.

I am and have been fully aware/awake.

[Garry]

I meant to say thank you MOE, I know where you are coming from now and I think we are in the same book but you are just a couple pages ahead of me. We are most definitely cool.

I'm in the same boat. gotta get more people on our side to belly up to the bar. We may ALL have to get a lot more vocal to get back in control. then calm down a little to just invloved discusiion

[Tartbird]

I do like the belly up to the bar idea especially!

Moe, does this mean you are handing off the responsibility to Evan to respond to people's posts on getting loan modification, DIL, short sale assistance? If not, please clarify what exactly it is that you mean with this statement. Are you going to handle the new forums only? Just curious.
Thanks!
