U.S. banks should "undermine" Occupy protesters: memo

The memo also suggests that Democratic victories in 2012 should not be the ABA’s biggest concern. “… (T)he bigger concern,” the memo says, “should be that Republicans will no longer defend Wall Street companies.” (now that is scary. But have no fear. Republicans won't forget their "corporate masters")

Two of the memo’s authors, partners Sam Geduldig and Jay Cranford, previously worked for House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio. Geduldig joined CLGC before Boehner became speaker; Cranford joined CLGC this year after serving as the speaker’s assistant for policy. A third partner, Steve Clark, is reportedly “tight” with Boehner, according to a story by Roll Call that CLGC features on its website.

Using shorthand for Occupy Wall Street, the memo said:

"It may be easy to dismiss OWS as a ragtag group of protesters but they have demonstrated that they should be treated more like an organized competitor who is very nimble and capable of working the media, coordinating third party support and engaging office holders to do their bidding. To counter that, we have to do the same."

Says a lot about a movement that Fox says is "falling apart".

Funny, if those same companies would invest in rebuilding America's infrastructure, the movement would probably die.
 
Some of these lobbyists need a steel-toed crotch stomp followed by a perp walk.

Sounds like cronyism.

I thought Republicans were all "pro" constitution.
 
...this could merely represent a lobbying firm trying to drum up some business. And it’s still unclear whether Occupy Wall Street, in its current form, will ever translate into real reform. But at a minimum, these well connected lobbyists saw this pitch as something that had a chance to be taken seriously by the American Bankers Association. This could also open the door to more reporting on how Wall Street firms really view the meaning and potential of the protests.

Indeed, today’s New York Times has one more data point: The paper reports that Wall Streeters are privately discussing with genuine worry the prospect of Elizabeth Warren ascending to the Senate — and raising big money for Scott Brown in order to stop her.

Nah, they're not scared of a bunch of DFHs, are they?

In the "black/white" of "Republicanland", everything is binary. It's either this or it's that. Democrats see a country where the laws have been slanted so far towards big business, they even decide what they think is best for us.

People such as yourself feel that if corporations aren't given power over our lives and if we don't bribe them by letting them run roughshod over the average America, they will take their toys and go home.

Well, I have to break it to you. They are home. And it's about time they did their share of the dishes and the yard work. And that's what it's all about. Fairness.
