1. unreccers really???

pathetic... cant stand your craziness exposed eh?

[howaboutme]

2. I'd feel much more confident

in this bill if both Parties weren't so beholden to the big money interests of K Street and Wall Street.

Money talks and it controls both Parties. The Wall Street crowd are huge contributors to the Democrats, and the Republicans get most of their money from US Chamber of Commerce and Business Roundtable via K Street.

So where do you think that leaves us average people who are looking for honest and fair government?

3. it all depends on

what you consider "honest and fair government".

I see Theodore Roosevelt clamping down on robber barons as "Honest and fair government".
I see the Glass/Steagall regulatory act "honest and fair government". As it kept us out of another depression for 75 years.

is it not Governments role to look out for citizens as opposed to corporate interests?

4. I agree

but I believe the system itself (just validated by the US Supreme Court) has now so corrupted our government that it has become next to impossible for elected officials to look out for America and Americans. Instead they use the assets of the USA and our country to enrich global corporations, global bankers and other global interests.

There are few politicians who have the guts to clamp down on the (now international) robber barons.

5. Fair enough... thats why I am not happy with my

current Senator Bennet(d).<-- small "D"

and I am actively campaigning for Andrew Romanoff a Democrat who unlike Bennet does have the people in mind. whereas Bennet will change his vote (once the measure will be defeated) to appear a champion of main street.

all the while in Bennets wake His pals on wall street loose millions of Denver Public school money, Bennet "invested" while DPS superintendent.

6. the thing that pisses them off is our black President.

their issues are nothing but excuses.

[Froward69]

7. AND his curtailing of their

malfeasance.

all the while forgetting What America truly stands for.

8. I'm amazed some comments they don't want regulation.....okay

lets stop regulating their food and just shovel the bull--it down their throats. They don't seem to get it that deregulating got us into this mess. Everyone needs rules especially the robber barons. If Teddy Roosevelt was alive today he wouldn't be a Republican.

[Froward69]

9. Nor would Lincoln, IKE or Nixon

be republicans.

[Brewman_Jax]

10. Absolutely!

you'd think that excesses of the robber barons and the pre-Depression 1920's and the aftermath of those would show that we don't want to go down that road again.

11. Not necessarily so.

Sometimes the outrage is faked in order to get Dem's to line up behind ideas,legislatio,etc... that in reality does a disservice to all people.They are playing the knee-jerk reaction card knowing Dem's will support something just because the pukes are howling.
