Why are the Republicans in Congress supporting the crooks on Wall Street by opposing financial reform?

I hope you don't mind if I answer with a quote. Very good stuff Newt Gingrich vs. Mitt Romney -- Has It Really Come Down to This? By John LeBoutillier Published November 28, 2011 So the Republican race – in a year when President Obama is totally beatable -- has come to this: Newt Gingrich, serial philanderer, liar, hypocrite, secret Rockefeller Republican, back-stabber and megalomaniac versus Mitt Romney, the Supreme Panderer, the man-with-no-principles, an utter phony who will say anything and flip-flop at any time – and someone who was not a Reaganite until he ran for president in 2007.

How can the GOP have sunk so low? Two candidates so flawed, so inherently fraudulent and so phony. It is almost as if the Republican Party wanted to help Obama get re-elected.

Clearly the GOP primary voters and caucus attendees do not want Mitt Romney. After six years of running, we have seen enough. We don’t buy Mitt.

Period. Even while all his flavor-of-the-month opponents have come and gone, Mitt never goes up. The others come and go – and Mitt just keeps steady with about 20% of the GOP vote.

Period. How can a party end up nominating someone who only has tepid support from a disbelieving party base? How can that party support someone with 80% of the voters wanting someone else?

As for Newt, he is not what Tea Party, grass-roots conservatives want. He is a total manipulator out just for himself. He wants to make himself gobs of money and have the aphrodisiac of power.

Newt is not a conservative! He is a soft, mushy moderate Republican – just like Romney! The Manchester Union-Leader’s endorsement does not get the Real Newt at all.

He is not a conservative – yet these guys believe he is. Oh what a tragic mistake! I ought to know: I served in the House early on with Newt.

He is the most egotistical, disagreeable, self-centered fraud in a House filled with similarly affected people. Please note how virtually none of Newt’s former colleagues are supporting him in his presidential race. To know Newt is not to respect him – in any way.

The only crooks on Wall Street are OWS persons and John the ex governor of NJ.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
