I should have known it was too good to be true. A few months ago I was optimistic that regulatory reform would include an investor protection known as the "fiduciary duty" standard.

They are real good at stopping government when the democrats have got a President in the White House. I wouldn't give a nickel for them during other times!

Of course! Having democratic led financial reform is like having religious people explain evolution. The two don't go together. They're not going to fix nothing and probably just mess it up more.

Why are we not surprised ??

They can say all they want in platitudes but WE KNOW - their ONLY policy is to destroy Obama's policies with a smile on their hypocritic­al faces !!

Even though President Obama has 32 months left in his administra­tion, the Republican­s would like him to adjourn congress for a 33 month vacation when they take over.

The single mindness of their mission would be admirable if it weren't for the fact that they are unAmerican­, bordering on traitorous­. They want something, anything, bad to happen on Obama's watch and will do anything to accomodate that.

Goopers never saw a financial reform they didn't hate.

This is why America regards the GOP as a wholy owned subsidiary of the megabanks, the insurance industry, and foreign criminals. Yet somehow, conservati­ves are unable to figure out why they can't win elections.
