Hi Leslie. First, thanks for your visits and comments at Politics Plus. I have added you to my blog roll as well, and am favorably impressed with what In see here.
ReplyDeleteBack on topic, thanks for the lists. Some voted against it because it contains several loopholes for Banksters to exploit. Others did so because it does contain some authentic reform.
TomCat: Thanks for your comment. I jumped into this blogging thing cold turkey 6 months ago and I'm still flopping around. So, anytime anyone says something nice I purr like a cat.
ReplyDeleteMaybe one day it will look like yours.
I doubt if these mostly southern Dems were very concerned about loopholes for Banksters.
I have another theory about the way they vote these days.
You're most welcome and thanks.
ReplyDeleteWe do have the best Congress money can buy, don't we?
