Nothing wrong with what's in this video. The problem is that all these comments are biased toward democrat or republican agendas. You're all foolish for falling for this age old crap. A politician is a politician. While you are all chasing parties these politicians are cleaning up. I can't understand how everyone falls for this partisan rhetoric. What one party's for, it goes without saying, the other is against. This is all subterfuge. Wrestling for idiots that like to think they're intellects.
It is funny that democrats that view and comment on this video and know this to be true, as reported by several news sources about the corruption and lies told by the democrats still choose not to believe it! You people need to wake up and realize the only thing the current democrats in power want are votes and more power, at any cost!
Wait a minute... Democrats may have received a lot of money from Wall St. Yet, they're still fighting to reign in the banks. Republicans receive contributions from banks, Republicans fight FOR banks. Democrats receive contributions, they still fight AGAINST banks.
You can only make this argument against the side that's trying to protect the banks.
The Democrats are the biggest phonies attacking Wall Street. Wall Street has bought off these sleazy politicians. Pass the word. A lot of sheep swallowing this circus show.
Yeah both parties are guilty. when we clean out the congress in November, the Tea Parties need to continue to keep the heat on, until congress passes legislation to restrict themselves!!!
There is no question that the republicans think the Americans are stupid. I guess they have alot of research to show that. I know I am not stupid. The question is are you stupid?
Nice try NRSC! Unfortunately for you, Americans are finally waking up to the fact that the Dems and GOP are both corrupt to their core. The fight is now against Corporatism, not the diversion that you try to create in the media with your battle of right vs. left. We're on to you.
If anything this simply shows that democrats stick to their convictions regardless of who is contributing to their campaign. Strange pro democrat video there.
@BelgianJ : that's very odd, b/c it's rather well-known that Dodd, in addition to having been caught a couple of times for helping out his buddies at AIG by custom tailoring the bailout bill, is in charge of writing the reform bill. Among many criticisms, the reform bill not surprisingly protects the interests of the banking industry by giving more power to the Fed - for which the banks have been lobbying.
@tooltalk You make a good point tooltalk. To be totally honest my comment was just in the spirit of being contrarian. Obviously, it is both the Republicans and the Democrats who are at fault in this. All modern politics serve the will of the corporations who pay their campaign bills. Lobbyists are the cancer of American politics.
@BelgianJ : no, so the problem isn't so much that the demos are stick to their conviction. There's plenty of backroom deals. It's just that you libtards choose to ignore it - just in the same way that the wars in Iraq and Afghan are no longer discussed in your libtard media. Obama's war is now peace and the demo's backdoor deal with financial is "mainstream bailout"
Everyone in washington d.c. gets paid by Wall Street. Ask yourself this: Is it a coincidence that the party in power is getting the most money?
The whole system is corrupt. America will not have true democracy until the power of money and money holders is kept out of politics and the lawmakers' pockets.
and they actually expect us to believe that they want to reform wall street..right...what a bunch of lying, cheating scum criminals..both parties..they all need to go..they all are bringing about the collapse of american....regular people without politica backgrounds can go to washington and do the job without corruption and whoring themselves out...lets change for the better and boot all these criminals out
So why do Reps block reform? They want the status quo - more money to big corporations and profiting off of the "lower" classes - that's what capitalism is, and that is all Republicans stand for. I guess spending money is okay when you're buying bombs and bullets and not expanding healthcare to Americans.
@barwana2007 : well, no sadly, I see more problem with the demos wanting to bailout every financial firms at every downturn, then pretending to regulate them as if they really understand the problem or they are free of corporate influence.
At least, the repubs are consistent - they voted against the bailout. With the bad banks failures, none of these would have been necessary. In capitalism, you make mistake, you go out of business.
@tooltalk Repubs aren't consistent. The first bailout came from Bush who is of course a Republican. Since Obama has been office, Repubs have been voting against almost everything. They even vote against things they themselves proposed. It has nothing to do with being consistent with their principles. They're simply putting on a show. All politics is just a show.
@MarmaladeINFP : Actually, Bush was the only one supporting the bailout - remember the GOP did vote against it at the height of the collapse when Bush was still in office - though it probably had more to do with the fact McCain wasn't going to win the next election.
Of course, everything is just a show. Just look at the demos who voted against the wars, you now don't see any protest from anti-war liberals anymore, despite the increase in Obama's defense spending and escalation in Afghan.
the real truth . I also recall the Dems defending Fannie and Freddie. Yes, dems in bed with wall street too, of course main street media ignores how Obama and freinds are in bed with Wall Street, Ever wonder why all those bonus got paid? Do you really believe the Dems did not know in advance?
why do they bother spending money on this shit, the only people that would believe it already do.
Also, you cant claim that Democrats want to destroy or limit capitalism with their socialism and regulation AND claim they are in bed with capitalist companies.
Pick one because you can only have both if you are RETARDED.
Yes, you can have both, as has been the case in Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy. When the government is in bed with companies, that is not capitalism. If the government treats some companies different than others, it is not capitalism. Also, think of who the regulation benefits. If it costs more to comply with regulation, then it will hurt the small companies more than the big ones.
I encourage you to read Hayek's "The Road to Serfdom".
@xp19375 No, you cant have both. You can try to SPIN it all you want. The economy is a capitalist economy. The government being in bed with 1 or 10 companies does NOT mean the other 10,000+ companies are suddenly not capitalistic you FUCKING IDIOT.
its because small minded petty pieces of SHIT like you that the nation is in the shape it is in. You and your political rhetoric can take a flying leap, the nation does not need you keeping it down.
In a capitalist economy, the Rule of Law is upheld and everyone is treated equally under the law. Treating one company different than others is inconsistent with capitalism. Furthermore, when the government gives an advantage to one company, it drives out the competition, creating a monopoly. This monopoly leads to poor service and/or high prices and a call for nationalization. When this is done in several areas, you have socialism.
@xp19375 No, a Capitalist economy is one where the means of production are privately owned either individually or collectively and operated for a profit.
Free-markets, law, favoritism, competition have SHIT TO DO WITH IT. Your problem, like OH SO MANY in this nation is you know shit about fuck. YOU CANNOT HAVE BOTH AT THE SAME TIME IF YOU KNOW WHAT THE FUCKING WORDS BEING USED MEANS.
hey people i just made my very first video on my channel and i want you guys to check it out, so if you guys please would go watch my video. its my very first one so it might not be as good but oh well. and make sure to comment and subscribe also if your gonna out a rude comment dot even bother. thanks guys :)
Make sure all the Republicans you elect are similar to Ron Paul and replace those Republicans who aren't! Do the same in all state and local elections also.
you've been telling me for the last 20 years YOU were the party of Wall Street...now that its unpoplar its suddenly the Democrats...tsk tsk we are not all morons you know some people have read a newspaper in the last decade.
if you are a lower to upper middle class earner in this country neither party cares about you. period. aside from a SMALL handful of reps, they are pretty much soft money whores. there are a few Congressmen that have come out and clearly stated a few banks run this country - and i believe them. all you have to do is look at the winners and losers in this manufactured "crisis" to see who is running what. greatest theft in mankind.
THOSE CAPITALIST-SOCIALIST GREEDE FUCKS .......lmao!!! how about we talk about the oil companies, and the thousands of greedy more corporations who are NOT Goldman Sachs wonder why they were not in this video?? oh that is right they donate to Republucans.
Bush failed when he had the change to get rid of Fannie and Freddie and let them fail. Obama is doing the same thing he gave F&F unlimited funds of your money through TARP. And now F&F are being left out of the financial reform bill that will only lead us to the next crisis. It is time to fire congress come NOV. They no longer work for the people.
I love how the Republicans are blaming the bailout (that Bush signed into law) on the Democrats. Of course, the Democrats will blame it on the Republicans. It's like two kids getting caught with their hands in the cookie jar and pointing at each other while mumbling "he did it" with their mouths stuffed with cookies.
Its both democrats and republicans. They're all bought and sold by the same people. So to make it a one sided issue as it is in this ad is piss in a bucket.
I guess those 100 Wall Street lobbyist John Boehner met with behind closed doors is paying off ? Also, the employees of Goldman Sachs gave more money to Obama . The CEO's and higher executives gave more money to the Republicans . Let's see big man gives more to Republicans ? The little man gives more to Democrats ? Do the math people .
This video is so disingenuous . Am I to believe that the RNC is now the champion of regulation lol ? Didn't Republicans give tax breaks only to the richest 10% of people ? Didn't Republicans vote as a bloc to filibuster Wall Street reform bill ? Cont.
Its funny how this is so selective on its time frame. Republicans over the past 6 years have received more money then Dem's in total. Not to justify either side receiving money, that is but all this is just misleading advertisement meant to get Conservatives voting in the midterm
Who's the real party of wall street? Republicans AND democrats. It's like fighting over who's more obese while polishing off a plate of chicken wings and bacon burgers. Please.
Also they are talking about 1 bank at 1 point in time. Pretty desperate.
@tooosweeet Yeah, let's be real. Both parties are in the pocket of Wall Street. Our government doesn't regulate Wall Street because our government is owned by Wall Street. Republicans would be the worst kind of hypocrites for complaining about Democrats for taking money from Wall Street.
To be fair, this proves nothing other than it costs more to buy people who aren't already on your side. The cheap whore and the expensive whore. They're both still whores. The only difference here is the whores are keeping the money and we're the ones being screwed.
Didn't Obama also take money for his campaign from Insurance Co. ?
Look how that turned out, used their money too win the election and then reform to put them in their place !
BRILLIANCE @ WORK ! You know like palin taking money from teabaggers (12 million) and not given them anything, the only brilliant thing she has done yet !!!
Other people in favor of the 2008 Wall Street Bail-Out at the time: Sarah Palin, John McCain, Mitt Romney, Henry Paulson, Glenn Beck (though I'm sure he denies it now), Rush Limbaugh....those guys are Democrats????
The people who made this video are The NRSC....the National Republican Senatorial Committee. They want you to pay attention to the Democrats crookedness, but ignore theirs.
The bail-out was supported by both parties. Now the Republicans are trying to pretend they had nothing to do with it. The text under this video literally says "Democrats...Hold them accountable." That's really dishonest to pretend that only one party does things to help Wall Street.
Gee, I wonder why... might have something to do with them being in charge. I know if I were going to donate money, I'd rather give the lion's share to someone who can actually do something rather than someone who can merely engage in obstructionism. Let's take a look back a few years ago, and I can guarantee you you'll find the Republican leadership getting more money than the Dems. This is blatant political opportunism.
Gee for some campaign donations, Goldman Sachs got to see its two biggest competitors GONE. Lehman brothers and Bear Stearns. Guess those two didn't donate enough to be "too big to fail".
@medlock01 Budgets don't become law until the president signs them.
Republican President Bush put former Goldman Sachs CEO Henry Paulson in charge of the Treasury Department. Later, Bush Administration Treasury Secretary Paulson asked the Democratic Congress for the bail-out money. The Democratic Congress agreed, passed, and then it became law with Republican President Bush's signature.
Fantastic ad. The Democrats survive every election cycle due to blatantly false popular perceptions, the most powerful of which is that the Republicans are the party of big money, whereas the Democrats look after the little guy. This couldn't be further from the truth. This ad, which is hard to take issue with, lays it out clearly enough for even the most casual voter to comprehend. While Main Street collapses, the Democrats and their friends make out like the bandits that they are.
And that's why I believe in limited government. Tougher to go to war, less or no business subsidies- you know fail if you can't run a bank or auto company, no CRA, less or no entitlements, but maybe I'm wrong then again everything I mentioned just ruined your country. Too big to fail yet they always do. Government or Business or Unions or all those with their hands out- just a little more.
Top 5 = Barack Obama University of California $1,591,395 Goldman Sachs $994,795 Harvard University $854,747 Microsoft Corp $833,617 Google Inc $803,436 Top 5 = John McCain Merrill Lynch $373,595 Citigroup Inc $322,051 Morgan Stanley $273,452 Goldman Sachs $230,095 JPMorgan Chase & Co $228,107
The worst offenders and the biggest bailout recipients gave the vast majority of their millions of campaign contributions to Democrats. There is no denying it. Now President Obama and the Democrats pretend they are the heroes who will take on Wallstreet? It is laughable.
Nothing wrong with what's in this video. The problem is that all these comments are biased toward democrat or republican agendas. You're all foolish for falling for this age old crap.

Big companies love big government. Together, they make sure the rest of us get screwed. Even better if they distract us with some double speak.

Well put!
The Democrats are nothing but FULL of CRAP when they talk about NOT being BIG BUSINESS, BIG CORPORATE.
Americans are paying attention now and we are NOT buying it anymore!

Good ad... although the music reminds me of the running theme music from the Saw movies, so that's a little creepy.

Gee, I wonder why... might have something to do with them being in charge. I know if I were going to donate money, I'd rather give the lion's share to someone who can actually do something rather than someone who can merely engage in obstructionism. Let's take a look back a few years ago, and I can guarantee you you'll find the Republican leadership getting more money than the Dems. This is blatant political opportunism.
Pot, meet kettle.

Utterly ruthless. Kudos to the NRSC. Who says there's no truth in campaign commercials?

Gee for some campaign donations, Goldman Sachs got to see its two biggest competitors GONE. Lehman brothers and Bear Stearns. Guess those two didn't donate enough to be "too big to fail".

@medlock01 That happened in 2008. Who was president in 2008? It wasn't a Democrat.

The President cannot set budgets or spend money, they can only ask Congress to do so.
Who controlled Congress in 2008?

@medlock01 Budgets don't become law until the president signs them.
Republican President Bush put former Goldman Sachs CEO Henry Paulson in charge of the Treasury Department. Later, Bush Administration Treasury Secretary Paulson asked the Democratic Congress for the bail-out money. The Democratic Congress agreed, passed, and then it became law with Republican President Bush's signature.
Both parties are responsible for the bail-out.

Fantastic ad. The Democrats survive every election cycle due to blatantly false popular perceptions, the most powerful of which is that the Republicans are the party of big money, whereas the Democrats look after the little guy. This couldn't be further from the truth. This ad, which is hard to take issue with, lays it out clearly enough for even the most casual voter to comprehend. While Main Street collapses, the Democrats and their friends make out like the bandits that they are.

And that's why I believe in limited government. Tougher to go to war, less or no business subsidies- you know fail if you can't run a bank or auto company, no CRA, less or no entitlements, but maybe I'm wrong then again everything I mentioned just ruined your country. Too big to fail yet they always do. Government or Business or Unions or all those with their hands out- just a little more.

The worst offenders and the biggest bailout recipients gave the vast majority of their millions of campaign contributions to Democrats. There is no denying it. Now President Obama and the Democrats pretend they are the heroes who will take on Wallstreet? It is laughable.

Obama out raised McCain. What else do you need to know?

Seems to me, the proportion of GS' contributions reflects the party they think most reflects their interests. =^[.]^=
