Financial deregulation largely happened under a Republican Congress with a Republican President. The following Democratic Congress certainly deserves part of the blame, however, for not doing much to reign it back in and it certainly deserves a lot of scorn for not doing much to reform things even after the collapse.
The Citizens United ruling falls squarely on the shoulders of Bush though. He knew what he was doing when he appointed Roberts and Roberts did a brilliant job of not saying shit to Congress and not giving them a reason that they could object to Bush's pick. I may hate his guts, but he's a smooth motherfucker. That's why I have a lot more respect for Scalia. judah On Tue, Oct 26, 2010 at 2:34 PM, Robert Munn <[email protected]> wrote: > > On Tue, Oct 26, 2010 at 2:17 PM, Vivec <[email protected]> wrote: > >> >> Uhh...yes it is change. >> >> Let's hope it continues past NOvember. >> >> " tarnished by financial scandals and the influence of money in politics," >> >> Since all the things highlighted occurred under a Republican Government, >> including the Financial meltdown. >> And the Supreme Court (top Republican picks) Voting that there's no limit >> to >> corporate financing of political campaigns. >> >> Or did you forget? >> >> > When you say, "Republican Government", you are aware that these things > occurred under a Democratic Congress, yes? > > > ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:330244 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/unsubscribe.cfm
