Republicans may lose the fight over Wall Street regulations, but the fight has helped their campaign accounts. For the first time since 2004, the biggest Wall Street firms are now giving most of their campaign donations to Republicans. massage therapist insurance

Ani, I am constantly fasinated by the macinations of those who serve two masters, yet must choose. If Craig had / has a grudge it will be interesting what discovery documents he would request from the feds.

I read that this investigation was 18 months in the making, which puts him in OLC and if not directly, indirectly knew of the goings on with GS.
Having been an investment banker from Chicago, Craig also has some historic “insights” when it come to the money scene in Chicago when BO was a state senator.

Then again, it could be a three ring circus where the clowns alternate acts in the big aluminum foil tent.

FF, Read this speech Adolf gave SPEECH DELIVERED IN THE GERMAN REICHSTAG ON JANUARY 30TH 1937 (2) It is out of the question to think that such a revolutionary reconstruction could be carried out by those who are the custodians and the more or less responsible representatives of the old regime, or by the political organizations founded under the old form of the Constitution. Nor would it be possible to bring this about by collaborating with these institutions, but only by establishing a new movement which will fight against them for the purpose of carrying through a radical reformation in political, cultural and economic life. And this fight will have to be undertaken even at the sacrifice of life and blood, if that should be necessary. Sound familar?

Obama is bought and he’s going to stay bought. He knows how to win elections, and it isn’t through public financing. It’s by going to corporate America and cutting deals at the expense of the common folk. That’s what he did on healthcare, and that’s what he’s going to do on Wall Street.
But the SEC will get cut in, too. That Federal regualtion on not accessing porn sites from government computers? Gone.

I didn’t know the soundtrack had been cut out. Figures. Hillary gets to keep none of her marbles and bo gets them all when all he did was cheat and pull her hair and steal her ice cream cone right out of her hands.

Her name is Meredith Brooks.

there isn’t a politician who hasn’t received the bulk of their contributions from financial powerhouses

Well, edward, common practice is no justification. Besides, this is about That One, Wall Street, and his lying. Do try to remain focused.

As usual, FF has mined a couple of statistics from a poll and used them to “prove” his point.

What he didn’t do (and rarely does) was provide you with a link to the poll. Here’s a recap:

Note the headline: Obama’s job approval rating hits all-time low of 46.1 percent.

FreedomFighter, you’re a troll. And not a very good one.

Only brain-dead dedicated and rabidly partisan Obamacrats would believe, could believe, that Oblahblah came out of a cesspool like Chicago Politics without being a part of it. None so blind as those who only see what they want to see.

Many of them must see by now how wrong they were in worshipping at the feet of this despicable man. but if they admit how wrong they were then they expose themselves to themselves as the fools they were.

Better to just keep fingers in ears, eyes shut tight and sing la, la la. Honesty may be the best policy but life is simpler and more pleasant in Fantasyland.

there isn’t a politician who hasn’t received the bulk of their contributions from financial powerhouses – that’s who has all the money. even hillary, your favorite – up until the 2008 campaign for the presidency she had the most contributions from wall street than any other senator, even more than the bankers best friend Chuck Shumer.

Ferd, it’s not even that “good” – because those blacks who support Obama are democrats – so really you’d just basically need to look at the democrat number, not add dem and black percentages together, right….?

Oh and Geraldo Rivera had nothing to do with telling lies that got Vickie Weaver killed at Ruby Ridge – in other words the media never lies!

I believe they had to cut the soundtrack – i forget the name of the singer but the authors of the great video did not have permission to use the music. They should re-edit it with different music in the background.
