Mike Sechler,

Your comment that bad facts do not make for a better argument would have “weight” if the content and main point of the story were not true. The truth of why he changed is name maybe in dispute, however, his contact information is in the letter that Darrell Issa signed telling government regulators to back off investigating Goldman Sachs and other Too Big To Fail Banks.

Until and when you can factually refute the content and main point of the story from ThinkProgress, I suggest that you do not term a disputed issue as bad facts. Have a great banking day tomorrow.

Bad facts do not make for better arguments. The gentleman in question did in fact change his name, but not for the reasons suggested by Think Progress. He changed his name to honor a grandfather who died fighting facists in Transylvania in 1944. By the way his sister also changed her name for the same reason. Check out better reporting of the story here. http://goo.gl/fRkEi

I happened on your site looking for more info on this story, so I have no ax to grind one way or the other on your issue. In fact, I probably would even sympathize somewhat, but using bad info from a site with an obvious political agenda (Think Progress) does not help your cause look just.

charles is the one who “dated” martha stewart for 15 years and then married a much younger woman.

Giving guns and money in trade for drugs to fly into this country……That proof is out in the open….nothing new…..The media mentions a few fields of drugs growing but nothing of what is flown in…legally….who are they fooling? This country killed the Boarder Patrol fella….they gave the guns to the killers….and now they want this country to be gunless? Don’t think so..

I vent…just something short for now..got to read your comments….But back when…. I read where Chase bet short on 9/11 and made billions…you probably can google this….no one can convience me and millions of others that fraud and a whole lot of shit was going on for over 11 years now…. Fraud is not hard to prove..when millions have lost everything…including their homes? Millions just do not ALL lose everything without reason….what do they want… for crowds of homeowners to jam the courts everyday to show the bastards the fraud with the damn documents? The courts are no longer the court of respect….and we need not give it. Millions can not possibly be wrong…no way. On the Chase betting on 9/11… it stated how Chase had done days before that led up to the fatal day…..they knew it was going to happen….it was not a bet by chance.

We are in a PLUTOCRACY: Government by the wealthy that controls a government, often from behind the scenes, The preponderance of political power, whether directly or indirectly, A system of rule that is mostly by and for the super rich, A group of privileged people might shape the economy and government for their own benefit, I can go on….
