Still needed is regulation of yield-spread premiums — cash rebates paid to third-party brokers as a kind of reward for funneling unsuspecting consumers into higher-rate loans<\/p>\n

-Rich Cordray, Ohio Candidate For Attorney General, Demonstrating for the record his utter lack of understanding of how real estate financing works.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

That is in my inbox.  Enough to make any broker mad<\/a>.  And, while I\u2019ve responded to the industry requisite \u201cspam your congressman,\u201d and occasional political action calls, I have never <\/em>been as ready to fight as after I was reading that.  Cordray enjoys a congenial reputation, but I can\u2019t stand willful ignorance.  <\/p>\n

Rich Cordray is the anointed Democrat who is in line to succeed disgraced (also Democratic) Ohio Attorney General Marc Dann<\/a> (the link is precious).  There is a Republican running, but he\u2019s even referred to himself as the sacrificial lamb of the Republican party.<\/a>  <\/p>\n

This email was sent from my friend Jeremiah<\/a>.  One of his small \u201cl\u201d libertarian buddies, Robert Owens<\/a> got drafted by the Ohio Liberty Movement. Would I pitch in to stop the madness?  Would I give my time energy and effort to a longshot race?   Hell yes.  <\/p>\n<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve regarded politics as an onastically futile pursuit, someone must do something.  And I\u2019ve got the time, the interest, and hopefully, the acumen.  I\u2019m responsible for creating a social media and blogging plan to raise enough money to compete.  We want our electorate to be especially cognizant of the anti business positions of our candidates.   Oh, and the candidate<\/a>?  His biggest issues are following the constitution, and having transparency in government.  <\/p>\n

So, I\u2019ve got a few weeks (80 days, which is 11.4 weeks) to come up with a plan to get enough money to be viable, to get the funds to keep our professional campaign staff in the hunt, and to fight, fight, and fight some more.  Can I successfully apply the lessons I\u2019ve learned over the last 9 months to this fight?   All eyes are on me as I\u2019m the one Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
