allowed their big fat egos to override common sense.

m*therf**kers !

That committee is run by the Money Party, some of whom wear the D brand and others who ride for the R outfit.

with the Dems.

succeed in saying 'Good Bye' to me once and for all and I will not look back. Silly fuckers.

On edit: However, keeping her off the BC will give her more time to run for Prez in 2016 on a "Nationalize the TBTF Banks" platform.

Are the dems fighting for the middle class? Remember that the President did not fight for her previously.

Call your elected officials. Call the President. It is time to force their actions to match their rhetoric.

We all better get busy and call Reid's office to demand she be placed on the Banking Committee. It's time to bust up the cozy nest egg the banking committee staff have created for themselves.

Flat out NO SUPPORT, zero, zilch, nada, NOTHING & Primary opponents too.

Senate Banking committee.

We have the power! Break down that damned wall! Write, call and make lots of noise. We are not through.

kick

ring any bells for you? Harry Reid is the Senate Majority Leader because he won't upset anyone, Max Baucus still chairs the Senate Finance committee, and so on. This is why just having a 'D' after your name doesn't matter as much as we like to pretend.

Kos' mission is to elect more and better Democrats, it's better part we have yet to achieve.

"And the banks -- hard to believe in a time when we're facing a banking crisis that many of the banks created -- are still the most powerful lobby on Capitol Hill. And they frankly own the place."

It was true then and it's true today

I don't believe he'll spend one iota of his political capital on this. He's banker friendly.

This from the same leadership that tossed out the public option on day one to protect the interests of the insurance companies, now they want to protect the banks. Gee, what a shocker.

better understand that pronto. Just like Reid to undermine an opportunity for some real change
in the Banking industry. I can't stand him.

That pretty much tells us everything we need to know about Governmental oversight of this industry.

Call, Write, on Day 1, Day 2, Day 3, and so on.

Lobbyists are telling senior Democrats. Let that sink in.

Eliz. Warren would be a good fit on banking.

I spoke with Tim Johnson d- SD chairman & Harry Reed's office & told them "screw us around & 2014 will be like 2010".


Then I pointed out in OH, PA & CT GOPs (senate) with $100,000,000 between them lost & money does not matter anymore, we have our own sources of info & brainwashing is dead.

At any rate if the lobbyists do not like Warren, then get another job.

Tim Johnson the chairman has an election in 2014.

We need new democratic blood in congress. Some of these longtime democrats are almost as bad as republicans. Schumer will personally block any changes to the financial industry.

Here it comes

nt

remove the gag & blinders that many of us assumed a year or so ago in order not to harm the President's re-election chances by scrutinizing the failings of the administration or trumpeting them to the world.



and get back to our noble Progressive task of monitoring the Democrats and keeping up the leftward pressure.

For starters, no "bargains" on Social Security, and none that hurt Medicare recipients. I got no problem with increased efficiency through bargaining on drug prices or provider price controls, but nothing that harms the recipients.
