1. "Delinquent" is such a nasty word

Nobody likes a delinquent in their neighborhood. Every adult remembers a classmate or some other kid on their block who was known as a juvenile delinquent.

Maybe the results would be different if they had phrased it differently.

2. Looks like freepers finally realized that their applause when Mccain suggested this

was a mistake ..

I guess they reclaimed their "personal responsibility" mantra..(unless one of THEIR family members or friend ends up facing foreclosure)

3. This is going to be hard. There has to be some kind of safety net

to keep families in their homes, but speculators should not be rewarded or bailed out. banks need to be held accountable for predatory loans. I need someone smart like Obama to figure out this mess.
