Republicans Chase Wall Street Donors – WSJ.com.
It’s gotten to the point that the politicians don’t even realize how outrageous their behavior and language surrounding their lapdog relationship with Wall Street might actually appear to the rest of us. Case in point, the above article from the Wall Street Journal. Please read it to get the full effect, but I just have to include a couple of quotes that stand out for there sheer unmitigated gall. I only wish I had a video of John Stewart facial expressions to go along with them.
Last week, House Minority Leader John Boehner of Ohio made a pitch to Democratic contributor James Dimon, the chairman and chief executive of J.P. Morgan, over drinks at a Capitol Hill restaurant, according to people familiar with the matter.
Mr. Boehner told Mr. Dimon congressional Republicans had stood up to Mr. Obama’s efforts to curb pay and impose new regulations. The Republican leader also said he was disappointed many on Wall Street continue to donate their money to Democrats, according to the people familiar with the matter.
Thank goodness we have the Republicans to stand up for the little guy.
But that is nothing compared to this beauty of a quote by Rep. Eric Cantor (R., VA).
I sense a lot of dissatisfaction and a lot of buyer’s remorse on Wall Street,” said Rep. Eric Cantor (R., Va.), the second-ranking House Republican and a top Wall Street fund-raiser for his party.
Do they not even listen to themselves talk anymore??!! Buyers remorse??!!! Well, I’m sure Rep. Cantor and the other Republicans are more than ready to step in and give Wall Street their money’s worth. They will probably even give them a discount, with the economy being so bad and all.
