Heh-heh-heh...winning the hearts and minds...
 
....of the American people, Republicans once again show who their masters
are.

By Kevin Drawbaugh

WASHINGTON, April 27 (Reuters) - For a second time in as many days, U.S.
Senate Republicans mustered enough votes on Tuesday to block debate of a
Democratic bill that would bring the biggest overhaul of financial
regulation since the 1930s.

President Barack Obama and the Democrats want tighter rules on banks and
capital markets to prevent a repeat of the 2008-2009 financial crisis,
which tipped the economy into a deep recession and unleashed reform
efforts worldwide.

Many Republicans say they see a need for reform, but oppose the
Democrats' bill as an overreach by government.
