http://www.kentucky.com/2010/04/15/1224749/mcconnell-to-big-banks-rescue.html FOXBusiness reported on Monday that Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell recently called on about 25 Wall Street executives, many of them hedge fund managers, to hear their complaints about proposals for regulating the financial industry. With him was Sen. John Cornyn of Texas, chairman of the National Republican Senatorial Committee, which raises campaign money for Republican candidates for Senate. "The undercurrent of the gathering," FOX reports, "was undeniably political. ... McConnell and Cornyn made it clear they need Wall Street's help" to defeat the reforms by electing more Republicans in November." SUCKING AT THE SAME OLD TEET AGAIN!
He was slightly embarrassed by it when asked, which is a good sign that politicians can still have shame. <object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/3NokT5nwrTY&hl=en_US&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/3NokT5nwrTY&hl=en_US&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object>
Thats bedrock. He's asked about hedge funds and he answers his own question on community banks. What excuse is the right going to use for not strengthening regulation, imposition of freedom? Using freedom as their first line of defense; making it their whore.
Democrats like to ignore the fact that Wall Street contributed more to Obama than McCain and heavily funds the democrat party.
