Republicans Stand With Wall Street

As President Obama and Democrats in Congress fight to pass comprehensive financial reform, what did the Republicans do? They nominated the Wall Street lobbyist Dan Coats in Indiana and one of the biggest Wall Street cheerleaders they could find, Rob Portman in Ohio.

GOP ran this country for so long including 8 years of bush . the country slid down hill until people were fed up and voted the dems in. now in 2 years with the GOP dragging there feet and stopping the dems at every turn and blaming every thing on them. the only idiots are those who dont see the GOP for what they are. how short is every ones memory. if you want this country to move foward vote democratic.

Talk about garbage. The Democrats really take Ohioans as idiots don't they? Sherrod Brown and the rest of the good ole Ohio Democrat boys are taking money left and right from Wall Street. Hell Obama gave Wall Street a bail out. What a joke!

@karen4215 We didn't win. We lost slightly less hard than we would have if the republicans got in. :\ Don't get me wrong, we're definitely better off; but by how much? IMO, not much.

@Bobbiethejean WE WON!!!!! HA HA HA IT IS OUR TURN GOP HAD THEIR CHANCE AND DID NOTHING, NOTHING FOR HEALTHCARE, NOTHING FOR IMMIGRATION, RAISED THE NATIONAL DEBT TO TRILLIONS, TO US TO A WAR OVER A FARCE, ETC. AND NOW THEY OBSTRUCT EVERY ATTEMPT AT GETTING SOMETHING DONE FOR AMERICA. IF THE GOP DOES NOT WANT TO GOVERN THEN THEY SHOULD GET THE HELL OUT OF THE WAY, QUIT, I am tired of paying the salaries of filibusters.

This is ABSOLUTE bullshit. Obama and the democrats are not fighting for anything! They've betrayed us. All they do is capitulate and bow to the republicans. We might as well not even call them the democratic party anymore so much as the republican-lite party.
