GOP Against Wall Street Reform After Meeting With Wall Street

Well, this looks just totally shady.

"As a financial reform bill starts to take shape in Washington, two key lawmakers came to New York City last week to explain what it means for Wall Street, and how financial executives might help prevent some of its least market-friendly aspects from becoming law by electing more Republicans, FOX Business Network has learned.

About 25 Wall Street executives, many of them hedge fund managers, sat down for a private meeting Thursday afternoon with two of the most powerful Republican lawmakers in Congress: Senate minority leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, and John Cornyn, the senior senator from Texas who runs the National Republican Senatorial Committee, one of the primary fundraising arms of the Republican Party."

It blows my mind to think the GOP goes to the corporate executives, solicites their money, then comes out against the legislation that would prevent another deep recession. The same one we are just recovering from now.

They make me sick!!
