If they're immune from outside or inside pressure, something might bubble up that's bad for business. That's how it's going with that Consumer Protection Bureau that was supposed to be set up.<br /><br />The Repubs won't confirm anyone for the top spot until and have been trying to gut it's authority, and sparing that, its funding.<br /><br />Because Lord knows we consumers don't need any protection from the banking industry.

Our redneck governor tried to FIRE the independent head of the committee for redistricting, because things just were'nt going the way the governor wanted. The Supreme Court shot her down on that.<br /><br />When confronted with the truth on issues, Republicans I know go into a coma, and stare mindlessly at something in the far corner of the room.Judiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02778815502961000469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-329507352453931374.post-15311394083261764022011-12-10T12:51:23.339-05:002011-12-10T12:51:23.339-05:00Blago's trial was Federal.

After it came out that the Watergate guys played golf, and after that scene in Good Fellas where the gangsters are eating like kings, the Feds got embarrassed and toughened things up a bit. They say that Blago's going to have it pretty rough for the next 12 years.

Keep it rolling.<br />Florida has added to the "voter fraud" blather with shorter time periods for early voting since thinking voters often vote early; restrictions on those with change of address or name which students and women often have.

What further surprises me (and strains credibility) is that they are going to appeal, siting violation of their First Amendment rights, in other words, their right to yell "fire" in a crowded theater. No shame... <br /><br /><b>Jayne,</b><br />That is exactly what I'm saying. The Dems have the numbers, if they would only use them.<br /><br /><b>Brandon (Beer),</b><br />As far as I can see, the only people that have a legitimate reason to vote Republican are millionaires. Everyone else is getting conned. Even the Evangelicals... The Repubs just use all that Family Values crap to get elected. Their party leaders don't give a shit about that; it's just a tool to ensure that they can stay in power and keep Big Businesses rolling in money.<br /><br /><b>Sherry,</b><br />This is one story you'll NEVER see on Fox, unless it's to claim that the poor Republicans are being picked on by the Maryland Democratic Machine.<br /><br /><b>Mad,</b><br />These prosecutions are key.

There is more backstabbing in the background than work in the foreground. I'm happy they found him guilty.
