All that 20 years means is that she has a very ignorant, probably illiterate base.

Sorry friend..Maxine has a history of "misspeaks"
She "misspeaks" so much there are websites dedicated to her quotes.

2008
“Guess what this liberal would be all about? This liberal would be about socializing … uh, umm. … Would be about, basically, taking over, and the government running all of your companies.”

2005
“The President is a liar. Dick Cheney, the chief architect of the Big Lie, is not only a liar, he is a thief.”

2004
“We do not have a crisis at Freddie Mac, and particularly Fannie Mae, under the outstanding leadership of Frank Raines.”

Parroting=dumb
Inventing=REALLY, REALLY, STUPID!
See the difference?
Bernanke may be stupid but there is no way he claimed 170 million jobs lost.

Seriously, do you even read what you type ? the Fannie Mae situation did not come to light in full until 2006. You are making an argument with hindsight just as that site was.

Im not even sure how you were trying to make the Bush thing part of your argument.

and 2008 proves my point.

The reason she was being questioned on this is because people were seeing the problems and where it was headed. There is no hindsight here, she simply refused to accept the facts.

Heck even many Dems would have no problem throwing her under the bus.

Get rid of your bad apples and you'll have a stronger, more credible party.
