1. They are soliciting political donations.

[SkyDaddy7]

2. The simple answer is...

Becaue Obama is for it!! Why beat around the bush and act like it is a mystery WHY the GOP is against Financial Reforms.

[LetsgoWings13]

3. well would we be in favor of a republican bill on financial reform?

did you really think they would be on board with anything the dems are doing?

[DFW]

4. If it benefited their moneyed backers? Absolutely

In a New York minute.

They have nothing against our selling them the rope with which they plan to hang us.

And yes, we would be in favor of a reform bill they offered--IF it were indeed a reform bill that did some good.
We'd have to get over our initial shock at seeing such a bill, of course..........

5. I have a tidbit.....read this

This morning while going thru the channels, I see this scroll. "McCain says he is now partisan"....what in the hell has he always been. What a bunch of crap...again...CNN enables republicans.

11. "CNN enables republicans."

Actually so does MSNBC and NPR. They are just a little more subtle about it and NPR isn't even so all that subtle about it any longer.

6. The CEO & owners of 99% of the corporations are republicans. There is a party

for the rich & their corporations, which is the republican party, and there is also the party for the working class, the democrats....

The republicans (the rich, the elitist) have always fought tooth & nail and continue to do so against any legislation that would help workers - the 40 hour week, overtime pay, unemployment insurance, child labor laws, medical & dental benefits, vacation time & vacation pay, sick pay, work place safety (OSHA), Unions, consumers rights, land preservation, clean air & water bills, Social Security, Medicare, health care reform, equal rights, civil rights, pollution clean-ups, tax cuts for small businesses & the middle class, business & corporate regulations & oversight, freedom of speech and whistleblowing, etc.

Republicans hate, despise and have fought against all the aforementioned....And democrats have fought for all the aforementioned gains, every single one...NEVER ever the republicans, not a single fucking one!

Republicans believe our tax dollars should go to the rich & the corporations in the form of Corporate subsidies (corporate welfare), corporate incentives, tax cuts, tax breaks (or even no taxes for corporations) and corporate bail-outs.

Yet, the dumb, ignorant tea-bagger workers support the elitist corporate fascist republicans.

7. because it is expected and necessary...

to keep the two party system going, how would it look if the republicans supported all of the democrats pro banking and corporate policy's...

[breadandwine]

8. Why? Because corporations are PEOPLE. See this song ---

9. If the finance sectors is re reformed,

like it was in the past law makers will lose money. Once again "LAW MAKERS WILL LOSE MONEY."
