GOPe. But, you have a point - it did take Republican help to get it onto the Philanderer’s desk.
But I still blame Clinton - you KNOW that he got a bunch of payola for doing that...and in doing so, he set us up for nearly going down the tubes. I can’t forgive him OR those particular members of the GOPe who helped him.
I make no distinction between GOP and GOPe. To me they are one and the same. Pretty much why I refused to join the Republican party 50 years ago when I turned 21. In 99, when the Republican party had BOTH houses, there were a lot more than just the “elite” in those chambers.
Rubin and Slick lobbied Congress heavily for GLBA. One week after it was passed, Rubin resigned as Sec.of Treas. and shortly thereafter ended up near the top of Citi.
As I stated on another thread on this subject, there were many wheels within wheels turning at that time....and the GOP was up to its earballs in it!
