The Party of No. . .Shame

If it wasn't obvious that the Rethuglican Party has always been in the tank for large corporate and financial interests -- health insurance, energy, banking, you name it -- you need only look at the vote in the House on a bill to curb the out-of-control financial derivatives industry. With only one Rethug joining the 42 Dems on the House Financial Services Committee, the bill passed 43 to 26, with every Rethug saying "no" to regulation of the industry that nearly brought America's economy to its knees.

As John Cole asks, "the financial crash of 2008 was not enough?" Then there's their efforts to torpedo health insurance reform. . .nice bunch.
