Why These Democrats Flipped To Defeat Wall Street Deregulation

WASHINGTON -- Anyone who wants to understand the current state of the Democratic Party should pay close attention to what happened this week in the House of Representatives, where Democrats cut down a GOP-backed Wall Street deregulation bill. In response, the bill's supporters avoided talking about who the legislation would have helped (hint: two big banks), focusing instead on calling its victorious opponents a bunch of flip-floppers.

"They were for this bill before they were against it," said House Financial Services Committee Chairman Jeb Hensarling (R-Texas).

Rep. Jim Himes (D-Conn.), a Goldman Sachs alum, made the same point more softly during an appearance on C-SPAN Thursday morning.

"The atmosphere is a little bit different," Himes said. "I think there were 35 Democrats who voted yes. On similar legislation in the last Congress, that number was more like 75* or so. So yes, there were some folks who looked at the same thing this Congress and thought that they felt differently about it."

* - actually 95

So it looks like the Democrats are not bystanders after all, and that Boehner actually needs them to pass anything.

 

[Mr. H.]

Funny how a Liberal administration spent $58 billion per month to build up Wall Street, only see its legislators knock it back down.

You fucking morans crack me up.

Do you know what this proves? It proves that somebody or several somebodies wasn't getting paid off sufficiently according to the mandates established by legislators previous to the vote. So things fell apart.

What Boehner needs is a one way ticket back to his pops bar.

Wrong again there skippy, the bill will be brought up again next week and will pass, and according to your link with a higher degree of dem support. No dem votes are needed to pass anything in the house. In fact a couple of the deregulation items were included in the omnibus bill and your dear leader signed them into law.

Why not post the actual legislation instead of a hit piece by an unreliable source?

Simply because a few Democrats call it deregulation, does not mean it IS deregulation.

We haven't had an actual deregulation of ANY industry in this country................ever.

The House controls the purse strings. You should have learned that in Middle School.

And propping it up doesn't equate to giving it full reign.

You just don't do a convincing wingnut impression, Mr. H. Stick to rational, albeit wrong, thinking.

Not the point, Dorkwind. The point was that the Democrats were able to defeat a Republican Bill. That's all.
