>>Evidence Freddie Mac is a Democrat party institution. No surprise from this poster.<<

Michael -

Two things. First, the party to which you are attempting to refer is the Democratic party. That has been its name since its inception, in the 1830s.

Second, the article shows that Rahm Emanuel, a Democrat was one member of the eighteen member board of Freddie Mac. That doesn't really constitute compelling evidence that it was a Democratic party institution.

I note also that Emanuel is said to have "believed that Freddie Mac needed to address concerns raised by Congressional critics."

You're an intelligent man, Michael. Surely you can see that this article doesn't support the point you were attempting to make.
