" Fraudulent morgage companies are criminals too. Pointing the finger at other guilty parties doesn't make loan sharks any less guilty. "

" Payday lenders are not the predators. In my neighborhood alone, I know of five families going through foreclosures, and payday lenders had nothing to do with it. And instead of going after fraudulent mortgages companies, Goddard's gonna focus on low lying fruit. "

" I went to Willcox a while back went to Mac Donalds wanted just a hamburger could not make the girl behind the counter undertand what I wanted. Finally I gave up because she could understand "Uno", I got a number one meal, paying for more than I wanted. I think every employee in there was an illegal. No wonder Big Bill is for open borders.

" When someone feels compelled to use the phrase, 'to tell the truth' (and then proceeds to explain something), you have to wonder what they've been telling you all along? "




Ask him about it wrote on Oct 28, 2008 8:55 AM:

" Maybe Konopnicki's never consulted with Nathan Sproul about Proposition 202 or his congressional run. Perhaps the campaign financial reports hold the answer to that one.

We do know that Konopnicki fully supports 202 and opposes the current employer sanctions laws because he supports an open border and an amnesty program for cheap labor for his special interest backers. "

" Voting yes on Prop 200 will renew the payday loan industry - voting no will simply let the whole thing expire and sunset.

Just because Nathan Sproul wrote Prop 202 doesn't have anything to do with Konopnicki's support of the measure and his opposition to Arizona's present employer sanction laws, does it. "

" Bonita Bob only THINKS he know the story. McClure and Konopnicki are opposing prop 200.This is being funded by an out of state group that run's Pay-Day-Loans. Also prop 202 was written by Nathan Sproul.

So much for Bonita Bob's know it all writing. "

" 100 are the ones put on by the legislature..

200 are the ones that require signatures to get to the ballot , usually by paid circulators.

300 is put on the salary review commission. "

" I am the son of someone who works for a company in the payday loan industry and I have not seen these interest rates occur. The fact that it is called "predatory lending" is just wrong. The payday loan industry has helped many americans survive off of what little they have. Coming from the "yes" side of The Payday Loan Reform Act, I can easily see both aspects of this proposition; the good and the bad. I tell you that as an informed person, I would vote yes on prop 200; unbiasedly. Get all the information possible first "




Question wrote on Oct 23, 2008 8:38 AM:

" So, I have a couple questions regarding this issue: Are you suggesting that legislature leaves an unargueably harmful loan system alone? How does this qualify as a special interest? Are the "people" behind this legislation profiting from this? If so, can you prove it with SPECIFICS please?

And finally general comment... as for "special interests", how do you know that these propositions isnt the will of the constituents that the elected official (of any party affiliation) represent? What if their "special interest" is what their district/region wants? Hmmm? "

" It is time someone came up with a real market solution to the payday loan problem. New innovation has finally come to the point where that can happen.

I found a new peer-to-peer payday loan platform at http://www.yadyap.com. They allow people to lend other people a payday loan. The bidding system will get the rates down as low as possible.

It seems like a real solution as opposed to all of the arguing and legislation. "




Bonita Bob wrote on Oct 22, 2008 5:06 PM:

" This is how it works: When the legislature doesn't get a bill passed they want (like Konopnkcki's guest worker bill), they put the item on the ballot as a proposition before the voters. Usually the 200 and 300 series propositions are those placed on the ballot by the legislature. Proposition 202 is in fact Konopnicki's handy-work. He's hoping you don't actually read the existing employer sanction law (but buy his bull). Just like Marian McClure, this is how they operate in Phoenix when they fail to get something their special interests want passed. "




Bonita Bob wrote on Oct 22, 2008 5:02 PM:

" Aimee you're right on target, Prop 200 is ballot slight-of-hand.

But what everyone doesn't know is that Corporation Commission candidate (and ex-member of the legislature, and good friend of Konopnicki) Marian McClure is one of the people behind Prop. 200

So, please leave the space next to Marian McClure on the ballot blank. "

" It's great to see people can cut through the deception of the payday industry's campaign!

They've event taking to attacking themselves in trying to trick voters into protecting their outrageous interest rates!

At the end of the Prop 200 will allow this predatory system to continue a business model that thrives on creating debt!
