Iowa Liberal

When push comes to shove, your party is still slave to Wall St. And they’re really happy that you sit around having your tea parties without expecting them to change their behavior in any way whatsoever.

…in the House of Representatives…with the meltdown caused by a runaway financial system still fresh in our minds, and the mass unemployment that meltdown caused still very much in evidence — every single Republican and 27 Democrats voted against a quite modest effort to rein in Wall Street excesses.

Now, we Democrats know chagrin. It sits in our passenger seat, constantly grabbing the wheel and sending us into the ditch (see Joe Lieberman, who will let thousands die to settle his political score with the party, willing to filibuster the very compromise he suggested a few months ago). There you can see 27 Democrats going along with the bastards, the party of the little people once again containing disturbingly large numbers of politicians willing to go to bat for corporate fat cats, even with the public livid.

But every…single…Republican.

How long can you teabaggers pretend you’re angry about unemployment, or the recession, or the risk of future economic implosions-

Nevermind. The answer is forever. Why do I bother?
