9. Hilda Solis comes to mind as a definite liberal.

The only actual Republican I can think of is Ray LaHood.

5. Just a quick question?

When did it become ok to just pull facts out of our asses to support our claims? Is it because people think because the Republicans do we, its ok for us to do it as well?

10. Yes. He makes Rush Limbaugh and Michael Savage look like Noam Chomsky

11. Sherrod Brown and Elizabeth Warren both seem happy with that.

(she hired him for the job he is currently holding)

I would think this should be enough, but apparently, Warren and Brown must be GOP too.

12. Consumer bureau’s Richard Cordray, from state regulator to federal enforcer (WaPo)

The tall, soft-spoken man pad­ding around the fifth floor of 1801 L St. — often not wearing shoes and occasionally quoting Shakespeare — seems at first more like a college professor than a hard-charging enforcer. But he holds what soon could become a powerful post in Washington’s changing financial regulatory landscape, a prospect that has heartened consumer advocacy groups and deepened the concerns of an already skeptical financial industry.

Just months ago, Richard Cordray was Ohio’s attorney general. In that role, he sued some of the nation’s largest banks for their bungling of mortgage foreclosures, spoke of Wall Street as a “fixed casino” and became a leading advocate for the creation of the federal Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.
