Sorry to bit** one more time about the bankruptcy abomination . . .
I disagree with Kos. Joe Biden sold us out. The other democrats did the same.
Let's start here:
1. If Joe posted to Kos and Atrios, etc., saying in essence, "I would be going against a major donor's wishes, and I will filibuster if you send me a few $$ to make up for it." the blog community could have sent in $150k in a MONTHY. We PROVED this works in 2003/2004.
Why don't our most powerful Dem Sens. UNDERSTAND THIS and kiss off these corp masters? Am I naive?
More below. . .
- His son R. Hunter Biden was an EVP at MBNA, and gets $100k a year as an "Internet Law Consultant" for MBNA on top of what he makes at his Washington law/lobbying firm.
- According to Opensecrets.org, Biden raised $147,700 in contributions from MBNA employees from 1999-2004, his biggest source of campaign cash.
- The credit card industry made $30 BILLION in profit last year. A record. No jobs were going to be lost in DE OR ANYWHERE ELSE if this bill crashed.
- No protections for our troops? No protections for the medically fragile? Joe could not have backed those two simple amendments? WTF?
Biden and those other bums sold us out. Plain and simple.
Whadda ya'll think?
