Something I have been trying to get across to people for months around here is how bipartisan the financial shenanigans has been in the last 10 years.

The primary culprit behind the whole financial mess we are experiencing is The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act of 1999. And guess what the Senate vote was on its passage....90 for and 8 against.

Both sides of the aisle sold capitalism down the river and our fate was sealed when that legislation was written and introduced by the GOP, passed by almost equal numbers of republicans and democrats and signed by Clinton.

Another good post. I wish people would step back a little, cool off from the joy they’re getting from being on the delivering side of the hatred for the president, and look at political philosophies instead of just labels. But that’s a useless hope. I’m starting to think I’ll just disconnect from all this stuff and just try to live out my life according to my principles and the rest of the world can go hang, if that’s how they want to live, I can’t stop ‘em.

I think you're right.

What I really want to know is, who was behind it? Who ordered out? Phil Gramm only worked for Big Money -- so who was he working for, to sponsor that bill?

David Horowitz keeps warning us that "it all comes together at the top" and that there is really only one political party.
