The overwhelming majority of the American people are for financial reform. The overwhelming majority of the big money boys and gals on Wall Street are against it, and are ticked with the Democrats, and are showing their displeasure by making the Democrats pay a price for financial reform, by withholding financial contributions, and by channeling that money to the Republican Party. Now, if only the large majority of the American people, who are for financial reform, will show their displeasure with those who opposed it, by withholding their votes from the Republican Party!
The Washington Post keeps track of the money in politics, or does about as good a job trying to keep track as anyone. The Post reports that the Democratic campaign committees are losing big Wall Street donors, and the committees leaders are nervous about losing those donors. The Democrats pot is way down.
"The drop in support comes from many of the same bankers, hedge fund executives and financial services chief executives who are most upset about the financial regulatory reform bill that House Democrats passed last week with almost no Republican support. The Senate expects to take up the measure this month.This fundraising free fall from the New York area has left Democrats with diminished resources to defend their House and Senate majorities in November's midterm elections."
So what should the Democrats do? Kowtow to Wall Street? Water down the financial reform bill more in the Senate? Become like Republicans? Become the slaves of Wall Street? The answer is simple. Tell and show. Tell what Wall Street is doing. Show why. Tell why Wall Street loves their Republican slaves. Show why America needs to support reform by getting behind the Democratic reformers.
