Political Forums

[Garry]

Something I thought was good just turned bad. Can't be part of it, and I'm sure no bank will either. Peace out.

[Moe Bedard]

I have no problem if the banks decide not to work with us because the political message MUCH more important than just homes and loans. Plus I have absolutely no problem losing members because of it.

If you cant grasp the fact that the root of the problem is Washington, corporate controlled media and that we must address these issues to get anywhere on Main Street, than I cant help you further, nor can this forum.

A proud peace out from Moe!!

I highly support and agree with you Moe. Don't let the door hit you in the ass Gary.

What political forum are you talking about? What political message? What am I missing? I'm sure I'm missing something since I do not wander away from CW/BOA forum..

[caldwellb02]

I don't see this forum shifting to the right or left or up or down. I see it trying to protect main street, and that is neither Republican nor Democrat right now. If there is something I'm missing, please let me know. I've been unhappy with some of the new forums, but not incensed and certainly not to the point of quitting here. We can agree to disagree here. I wish Garry all the best. I will miss whatever input he might have had.

[caldwellb02]

Oh I think I see what Garry is talking about. I take issue too with singling out anyone like Pelosi and Dodd are singled out. I mean why start with them? Are they the worst of the bunch? If there is a hidden Republican agenda here, please let me know now cuz I'm not buying that at all. Not at all.

[nativelasvegan]

I agree caldwell. I do not see anything shifting, just a broader base of knowledge. Garry, maybe you can agree to disagree? We are not all going to agree with whatever each has to say. I hate politics. They do play an important role in what we are trying to accomplish here. Perhaps you can just stay away from those forums?
You are very knowledgeable and I hope you come back.

[NacaNation]

I agree as well caldwellb02,
The financial industry imploded at the end of 8 years of GW Bush's watch.

But the real problem we all have here is the homeowner versus the banks not the Reps vs the Dems.

I agree the real problem here is the banks not following HAMP guidelines, I personally think that Obama is doing a fantastic job to help homeowners keep their homes, HAMP is his program.

We can agree to disagree, Garry is a great contributor to this Forum, I hope he stays.

I love this Forum!!

[darlyj]

Republicans and Democrats have BOTH contributed to the problem, make no mistake. The banks "lobby" (= pay) anyone that they can get into their pockets. The "false economy" that led to the implosion stretches back into the early 90's if not before. HAMP could be a much better program if ANYBODY in DC with the power to do so would start cracking down BIGTIME on banking institutions. Wanna help with the deficit? OK big banks, show us that you put an honest effort into modifying a mortgage before foreclosing on it....if not, you do NOT get the tax break from the business loss. Period. Easier said than done, I realize.

[ama125]

Garry, I do hope you'll at least come back to post an update on your situation... I've been following your story since you joined and was really looking forward to posting my congratulations message to you when the time came. You've been a great contributor and I will miss your style

[Moe Bedard]

The time for the people on Main Street to unite as one folks and put ALL OUR differences aside.

DON'T LET MEDIA AND OUR POLITICIANS DIVIDE US!!!!!!!

That is what they want, don't you get it?

I am one of the most independent dudes you will ever meet.

When I was a kid, I used to laugh at all the old people fighting over donkeys and elephants. I just didn't get it and you know what, I still don't. It just seems like a ploy by media and the powers at be to divide us all on Main Street and confuse us from the real truths.

I take a non-partisan approach to everything I do and judge no one by the party they align with, color of their skin or religion. I study what people and groups do, analyze this information and then make an educated decision on what view I will take based on my values.

All the while understanding that my views may not coincide with others and that is fine. No need to fight or not talk to my fellow Americans who disagree, but maybe it is time to talk to each other since we all put on our pants the same way and seems to me that you all are losing your homes the same way.

This forum has been going for almost 3 years and I decided based on the 2010 elections coming in one year and the FAILURE of ALL of Washington to do ANYTHING to help Main Street, that we need to identify who is really for us the people and who is for the Banks and mega corporations.

Republican or Democrat, I don't think Chase or B OF A could care less what party you vote for when they deiced to foreclose on your a$$ or when your big fat corporate boss that just made $5 million fires you looks at your voting record.

As far as listing Dem's or republicans, there will be no singling out on the forum.

I look at most all of Washington is tainted with terminal toxic lobbying Herpes simplex 666. From career politicians to BS lobbying. More Republicans will be listed and so will the Democrats.

Don't matter if they Dem or Republico, we don't know who is friend or foe. So, with that said, they all gots to go!!!!

[jdubu2]

Omg! I thought this forum was to help each other get our loans modified?? it seems that more negative, crap is taking over... I myself have gathered great information here, I like that some people try to focus on the positive.

Moe, what is your real agenda? to gain notoriety for yourself? we that read the news online nearly all day trying to find, news on home loans, what the government is doing and what is happening with our unemployment, are well aware of our government's inability to enforce the rules they set. the banks seem to blatantly ignore the rules, we all see that. why start making this a political forum? I don't get it???

[Moe Bedard]

Can't we all agree that they have all failed and they all should be fired for failing to manage the good ole US of A properly or are we going to treat them like they treated Wall Street?

Please people, lets NOT give them another two years with a job they failed at and give them a bonus while they are at it!!

[caldwellb02]

And... we can just choose not to look at the political forum threads if we don't want to. There is still lots of great info coming out and being shared on loan mods.

One way I am linking the two is making sure that I am writing (actually faxing) my congressman and senators and the president about every other week. I'm not bashing them. I'm asking them to do their jobs.

[Moe Bedard]

Yeah jdubu2, I am here to be a fricken rock star and run for President. You pegged me right on, NOT!!

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?

[darlyj]

The banking instutions in this country are only going to do something to help people like you and I if they are FORCED to, one way or the other. That in and of itself should be fairly obvious. The only reason the banks are getting away with ignoring the "rules" is because our elected and appointed officials choose to allow it. The appointed officials are put in position by their elected counterparts. The only way to get enforcement is to not re-elect the officials that choose to ignore the banks' disregard for policy. Ergo, the only real way to make these institutions change the way they do business is to be involved in politics on some level or another, primarily at the voting level.

BTW, the only way that you are going to get more attention directed to this subject is to get the word out, and that usually involves bringing attention to yourself long enough for people to listen!

That is what they want, don't you get it?

......................

Exactly! That is the whole point---- our lawmakers want us to bicker and divide us, so we will be distracted!

UNITED WE STAND!!

I get it Moe!

Thanks again for all you do!!

[Catherine]

For my two cents I am glad this was added to the forum. I agree if you don't want to be a part of it don't click on it. It is not like anything has been taken away just more added to get a broader picture of why we have faced this time in our lives. Since I spent most of my life focused on my family I never really paid much attention to what is going on in Washington or who the players are with a need to know if they are for or against us. I better freaking start paying attention now!! I admit at becoming almost numb to the what I hear for never knowing if it the truth or another lie when it comes from Washington. It is past time for their word to count in actions. This is a sensitive subject, but I for one and grateful to have trust and faith to actually believe in what Moe says and his reasons for saying them. He has our back and I hope he knows we have his. I appreciate getting educated and wanting to pay attention like I never have before. Thank you, Catherine

[babydeejordan]

Check out the minutes of a hearing held in Washington this past week that talks about how the loan servicers have no interest in modifing these home loans....very interesting writing...check it out!

[Moe Bedard]

You got it Darly. We have to get involved in politics if we want real change and we need to start now for 2010. Not everyone has to get involved in this and I wouldn't be upset. I just feel we are better united as one as opposed as divided. Glad you agree fellow patriot!

Oh Dear - Thanks fellow patriot. I am here for you and you for me. United we stand, dived we are NOT Peace to you.

Catherine - Most all of us on Main Street have been numb to this. I too am guilty and only after blogging here and following all that is done in Washington did I realize that things need to change there. The only way to help is for me to get active on my blogs in causes for the good of Main Street.

Glad that you have my back fellow patriot and I have your as well. Thanks for all you do. Peace!

I have come to rely on this site and rarely go a day without checking in. However, when it comes to politics I am taking a wait and see attitude with regard to most of the politicians in office at this time. There were many things done against the people in the past, and these wrongs cannot be corrected in less than one year. I would like to see the president get more support from working people - especially on a public option for healthcare.
How many people on this site alone would benefit from a comprehensive government healthcare? The senate finance committee working on mortgages do need to be tougher on the banks in general and give bankruptcy judges the power to cram mortgage principals and payments lower.

I am not going to argue that it would be nice if there were more than two actual political parties, but believe we are more likely to meet with success for our collective cause by sticking together on message with the ones already in office. I do not have time to wait until sometime in the distant future for the modification I needed months ago.

Then maybe you can do something about this Moe? Nancy Pelosi Political Jokes - Loan Modification Forum - LoanSafe.org Nacy's looking pretty singled out.

Good to see you Garry..please stick around! I deeply appreciate your contributions to this forum.

[Moe Bedard]

Garry and fellow Americans,

Many of you may not understand what or why I am doing certain things. But it is all for the common good of Main Street.

I base my blogging and much of what I do online using search engine optimization or SEO. This is like an online science in which I perform certain functions with blog posts, articles and the forum in order for them to rank high in search engines.

Part of this SEO is studying what people are searching for and then writing articles an staring forums based on these searches. I was surprised that Nancy Pelosi jokes gets about 863 searches a day and that is almost 30,000 a month. I thought many people must not like her and maybe a forum to display these jokes would bring more people to the forum who may need help with their home or loans.

I had planned to list additional politicians and so forth.

It is ALL in good faith and I am the most non-political, independent dude you will meet Garry. I don't mind what party you are part of and I am not favoring one or the other.

I would prefer a new party to be honest. Like a Main Street Part with Main Street people like firemen, teachers, small business owners etc.

These career politicians have failed us, do you agree with that?
