Stop blaming Clinton and the democrats for something that's obviously

Why? You have seen the votes by now. It was 51 GOP representatives and
9 democrats that opposed the deregulation of CDOs.


it was actually gramm who wouldn't let the bill pass with the original
regulations of CDO's intact. he forced amendments that stripped govt
regulations out of the bill


How does Gramm make 99 other senators go along? How does he keep the
president from vetoing the legislation. How does he make all but 9
democrats in the house go along, yet losing 51 republicans?
Somehow I have to believe he was just the point man on things that a
lot of other people wanted. (the bankers who buy congress and the
white house)



How does DeMint prevent 99 senators from confirming the TSA nominee?
