The one main benefit to the financial reform effort so far is that it helps further do away with the false paradigms of “left” or “right” and “Democrat” or “Republican” – fewer and fewer people are falling for those lies anymore.
What we have now is a group of politicians with shifting alliances on a case-by-case basis to the special interests who fund them. And currently, the most damaging one to our nation is the rise of the Bankster Party. Thankfully, we can now better identify its members.
But there is a special place for those who have the audacity to do something as incredibly un-American as voting to provide unencumbered welfare for rich bankers and then subsequently do absolutely nothing to fix the problem. And that special place (for now) is in what we should call from this point forward the “Bankster Party”. Allow me to present to you its current members:

He also lists the members of the People’s Party, so be sure the read the whole article. Yes, we do have allies in Congress.
Forget tired left-right arguments that keep us divided. The real battle is People vs. Banksters. And there are way more of us than them. We will prevail.
(As always, the Polizeros Special Circle in Hell Award goes to Chris “the Snake” Dodd for unfailingly pretending to back the people then always reversing course and backstabbing them while showering munificence upon Wall Street. Now that the people of Connecticut have clearly shown they want no more of his sleazy ways, I’m sure he’ll retire and be amply rewarded for protecting the banksters as a senator. Until the show trials start, that is.)
