[HATE US BECAUSE WE OWN HOMES]

only a 'moran' as the GOP turds call them, could believe that these are the BEST OF TIMES.

for opportunists, bottom feeders and other parasites, it is the BEST OF TIMES...where else can they lay their hands on properties for less than a dime per 100 dollars invested, due to foreclosure?

but Bush said; "They hate us because we OWN HOMES.."

oh yeah? at this rate, they must LOVE US, because nobody owns jack shit here...and I do mean NOBODY!
