Poppycock. It was Christopher Dodd and Bawney Fwank, both Dems, who refused Bush administration requests to set up a regulatory agency to watch over Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, who denied that there were any problems as the bubble was growing and growing, and who were still pushing for these agencies to go even further in promoting sub-prime mortgage loans almost up to the minute they failed. The Dems did this for a specific reason: to 'help' the lower classes by ensuring everyone was entitled to own their own home - qualified and capable or, not.
