As we wait to see whether all 41 Republicans will hold their pledge to vote against even debating a bill to at least monitor some of Wall Street’s saddest practices, we must consider this new NRSC video, which says, “the Democrats get money from Wall Street.” Why aren’t people listening to the Republicans, who have no money? Cloture vote in a few minutes!!! [WP/Dave Weigel]

Mine is faster.
Since Rove left, GOPer attempts at smear show they just aren’t really trying anymore.
No monies, no funnies. Jim, was that clippie done by the same guys who did Cheech & Chong’s Up in Smoke“?
Republicans are geniuses. The arrogance, hypocrisy and contrarian double-speak idiocy of this opposition to financial regulation while claiming the LIEbruls are in Wall Street’s pockets is enough to make peoples’ heads explode. Thinking people. People who are not their base. So there you go. The baggers and birthers will rise up in retardtacular victory after wiping liberal brains off their Dale Earnhardt t-shirts. Yay two-party system.
I’m waiting for the ad that makes the case that the Republican Party is the natural home for La Raza members.
If the Republicans want to stop the bailouts, then why are they filibustering the bill to do just that?
Nice job there, CNN, giving the NRSC (not the NRC, which has no money for ads after spending it all on strippers, alcohol and blow) ammunition for their ads in your attempt to always be even handed with the parties, facts be damned.
Just like how the GOP which wants to eliminate Social Security uses the prospect of that to frighten teh oldz about the Democrats.
Actually, this is the one effective argument that the GOP can make against Democrats that I can agree with.
“Democrats. They are almost as bad as us.”
Wait…billionaires on Wall Street give more money to the same Dem’s who raise their taxes and bring tyranny to the free-market? How do you Teabag that one?
“Why aren’t people listening to the Republicans, who have no money?”
The bankers have sense enough not to give money to Republicans. They know they’ll just blow it all on “office supplies” and lesbian bondage strip clubs.
You Demonrats just go ahead and filibuster the financial reform bill like you threatened to ….. wait. what?
Unless it’s written in crayon and/or has a Hitler mustache, “independents” won’t get it.
Other than themselves, who will actually buy this crapola? We are talking about the same people that after watching Obama eat pork ribs, will still claim that he’s a Muslim.
Wheee — Ben Nelson voted no. Because the Republicans don’t make things difficult enough.

Democrats new slogan: “At least we’re not as bad as Republicans.”
The GOP’s half-assed approach to deregulation – namely, the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act of 1999 – is almost singlehandedly responsible for causing the financial crisis. And yet they want to convince us that deregulation is the way to go.
Not surprising, I guess; your average teabagger seems to have such a short memory span, unable to remember even as recently as the government bloat, corporate welfare, and encroachment on liberties of the Bush/Cheney years. So 1999 must be ancient, before the age of recorded history, as far as they’re concerned.
Hey, GOP, the Dems got millions from Goldman in ’08 because Goldman knew the Republicans would get CRUSHED in November. Trust me, if there’s one thing Goldman is good at, it’s making bets with huge sums of money.
Wiegel’s sole (bless his heart) respondent supplies this lovely bit of linguistic legerdemain, straight from Bizarro World:
“The connection between money and polticians’ actions is wellknown, so, it makes sense here that, since the Dems received much – much – more money than did the Repubs, the Dems’ actions must be in favor of those contributors. Here, the contributors are Wall Street firms.”
Um, okay, what? Seriously?
The party of secret socialists is also the pro-corporate, big business party. From the minds of the same people that tried to tell you a black man could be a Nazi.
If it’s got a bunch of FoxNews clips with a “Bourne Identity” soundtrack it must be true.
Rethuglicans are all about the freedom of Goldman Sachs and other such douche bags to clean out your wallet without recourse. FREEDOM is the call of the red state retards.
Real Americans are totally flocked.
Tricky Pricks, taking that money and screwing Wall Street rather than huffing a chub.
Republicans are so poor, they have 1963 Zenith TVs. Sad.
