It's just too simplistic to blame the financial collapse and all the "disappeared" wealth and jobs America experienced under the Bush Regime and in its aftermath on Republicans. The toxic, even pathological, conservative ideology that extols greed and revels in the Law of the Jungle is prevalent on both sides of the aisle even if it only remains unchallenged on one side. In their highly effective campaign to continue using legal cover to rip off the public, the Finance Sector, since 1990, has poured almost $1.4 billion into the campaigns of candidates for federal office. Why do you think they spend so much money... because they're civic-minded? The average Republican House candidate has gotten $128,484 and the average Democrat has gotten $100,501-- more than half a billion dumped into that cesspool. The 10 most devoted slaves to Wall Street interests currently serving in the Senate? Notice that there are criminals wearing both the red and the blue jerseys.
Joe Lieberman (I-CT)- $10,154,592
Arlen Specter (R/D- PA)- $6,486,535
Richard Shelby (R-AL)- $5,303,030
Mitch McConnell (R-KY)- $5,244,103
Lamar Alexander (R-TN)- $4,931,275
Max Baucus (D-MT)- $4,792,987
Kay Bailey Hutchison (R-TX)- $4,697,838
John Cornyn (R-TX)- $4,582,292
Evan Bayh (D-IN)- $4,469,297
Johnny Isakson (R-GA)- $3,848,624
And honorable mentions for sickeningly devoted Wall Street puppets: John Thune (R-SD- $3,755,561), Dianne Feinstein (D-CA- $3,710,806), Tim Johnson (D-SD- $3,135,515), Bob Corker (R-TN- $3,135,180), Richard "Bank Run" Burr (R-NC- $2,922,171), Ben Nelson (D-NE- $2,839,056), Chuck Grassley (R-IA- $2,612,899), Jim DeMint (R-SC- $2,501,810), Mary Landrieu (D-LA- $2,489,984), Blanche Lincoln (D-AR- $2,450,292) and Robert Bennett (R-UT- $2,412,367). All of the above senators serve Wall Street absolutely and their constituents come last. If every one of them, regardless of party, were removed from office, America would immediately be on a much sounder financial footing. Harry Reid is not incorrect in calling out McConnell as a pawn of Wall Street, but why should anyone listen when he's also cynically supporting Arlen Specter's and Blanche Lincoln's re-election bids?
