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!!

GOP Senators Mad That They Voted For Rape

It seems that the GOP is going after Al Franken because he wrote a bill that would have stopped federal funds from going to companies that prevent employees from suing their employers for work related sexual crimes.

Backstory: "In 2005, Jamie Leigh Jones was gang-raped by her co-workers while she was working for Halliburton/KBR in Baghdad. She was detained in a shipping container for at least 24 hours without food, water, or a bed, and 'warned her that if she left Iraq for medical treatment, she'd be out of a job.'"

A no brainer type of amendment. Well, not for the GOP. Several repubs voted against it. It spawned many stories and videos about how the GOP was for rape. The GOP senators then get angry at Al Franken for introducing such a "partisan" amendment.

At the end of the day, these morons voted for against a good bill. They deserve everything they get.
