Maybe the Democrats will pull their head out of their ass and listen to Feingold and Cantwell |

on Dodd's financial bill
Doing a half-ass job will be worse than doing anything at all, and they had better get a handle on the derivatives market regulation in this bill, along with Glass Stegal safeguards or their will be a lot more pain for people who have their money in 401Ks and IRAs

1. Will not happen I do not think |
|
Blanche might filibuster if she doesn't get to define the derivatives for reform. And Reid doesn't have the balls to cross her, or we would have a single pay health care system. So lets keep on the phones and the emails. We do have a chance to beat her.

2. They could if they wanted to |

another half a bill won't do. They are going to be the ones gambling with our money in hopes that nothing happens again. It's the core of the bill that they want to kill.

More likely they will be bullied by Rahm and Barack and threatened till they surrender.

4. We can hope. Those who are bashing Feingold for standing up are misinformed. |
|
The GOP has been pushing for days to shut down amendments (just after they were finished offering their amendments). The rush to cloture is an attempt to protect Wall Street from tough regulations which will, actually, protect the people.

5. Feingold voted against the IWR and the patriot act. I think history has shown who was right |
