and, as i pointed out, the bill was subject to filibuster from the

took alot of work. but gramm, being bribed by his rich right wing
friends, prevented it from being passed until the SEC was made
toothless
That would explain a 60-40 vote if that is what happened but the vote
was unanimous.
uh..why? you're assuming they had an opportunity to discuss the bill,
review it and had plenty of time. none of this is true.
the fact is the far right free market fundies slipped this one under
the radar. your assessment is wrong
Your assessment is simply denial that the democrats could have
possibly had anything to do with it.
If that was true they would have passed real reform last year when
they did have the 60 votes. The fact is there wasn't even any
meaningful reform proposed.
uh. what planet do you live on? the bills richard shelby is fighting
against are in congress NOW.
not too bright...not too up on the news. you have your marching orders
from limballs and you fall in step.
