12. The wording on that is to make Republicans sound heroic - deceptive, as usual.

What's wrong with simple accuracy: Republicans Stand with Wall Street to Block Reform.

9. Odd, Democrats want it called Wall Street Reforms, and the media won't bite.
Why not? The media usually likes zippy names!
Why not now? Mmmmmmm......

14. One guess, Frenchie - The CORPORATE newsmedia is the PR Dept for the Fascism of Financial Elite
Why do you think they bought control of most broadcast and print media in the 80s and 90s?

13. Repugs have been pretty much uniformly obstructionist
