HALL OF SHAME: 35 Dems Voted Yesterday To ROLL BACK DODD-FRANK Provisions

[Segami]

Oh, come on. Wouldn't you rather get one big fat check than ask all the people you represent?

UPDATE: It was 35 Dems. List has been updated.


From Crew of 42, Lauren Victoria Burke points out that the Congressional Black Caucus, whose members were accused last year of selling out to Wall Street -- had only five defectors on this bill. Meanwhile, there were plenty of white Members who voted to gut Dodd-Frank:

The five CBC members had tons of Democratic caucasian caucus company in the form of 30 House Dems who joined Republicans to roll back Dodd-Frank protections. Why any member of the Democratic party who isn’t representing Greenwich, CT or Manhattan is voting YES would be a fun question to ask each one of them. Is there a hidden group of Wall Streeters living in Iowa or Nebraska? I would tend to doubt that.


Standing with Goldman-Sachs and Wall Street has become the theme for a party that’s basing candidate recruitment on who can raise cash rather than who can actually win elections. Think that’s one and the same? Go see who raised the most money during the 2014 cycle and who won the election.


The Dodd-Frank rollback in the CRomnibus and the one voted on yesterday provide evidence of who’s fundraising from the House floor and who isn’t. Even stranger: If New York members with Wall Streeters in their district as constituents voted NO (See: Carolyn Maloney, Greg Meeks, and Jerold Nadler who all voted NO) — what are Reps. Loebsack (D-Is there a Wall Street in Davenport Iowa?), Suzan DelBene (D-Is there a Goldman Sachs office in Washington?) and freshman Rep. Brad Ashford (Nebraska?) doing voting YES?


Freshman Rep. Gwen Graham (D-FL) is out of the box fast to show she can vote the opposite way of the Democratic party. It took over eight million dollars for Graham to barely win. Let’s see how she does in 2016 in a red district voting for Wall Street. Here are the 35 Democrats who assisted Republicans with their latest effort to scale back Dodd-Frank consumer protections:

[MANative]

1. Very displeased to see my Rep (Esty) on this list.

She'll be getting a call and a letter from me.

[Wounded Bear]

2. Me too....(delBene)...

I knew she was a corporate 3rd-wayer, but damn, this is disappointing.

[MANative]

4. Yes, I know what you mean. I understand why Esty might...

have felt the need to vote that way (some of Fairfield Cty CT - home to bankers galore - is a big chunk of her district), but that still doesn't make it right.

[monmouth4]

3. I thought Clare McCaskell was on that list too...n/t

[Jackpine Radical]

5. Ron Kind.

I knew it.

Every time. Every fuckin' time.

[LiberalEsto]

6. I am disgusted to see Maryland's John Delaney on this list

but not surprised. He's a DINO if ever there was one.

[madville]

7. Gwen Graham probably won't be in that House seat long

She will have a tough battle to keep that seat in 2016, Southerland was a horrible candidate that she probably won't have the pleasure of running against again.

I would look for her run for the next open Senate seat here in Florida, whether that be Rubio's or Nelson's.

[bigwillq]

8. Yuck. 2 from CT.

[dissentient]

9. Shameful. The republicans don't need any help in enacting their agenda to destroy America

This is not a good sign, this many so-called Democrats jumping ship already to assist the right wing GOP.

[Segami]

11. You never saw this many repubs

in the last six years jump ship in order to help push forward any Democratic Party positions.

[dissentient]

13. If Republicans keep getting this much help from so-called Democrats,

this country is in for a world of hurt.

I agree with you completely.

[MFrohike]

10. Wow

Not a single North Carolinian. Either B of A didn't go all out or they grew some spines. Very nice. Now, we just need David Price to stop falling in love with every so-called free trade bill in existence and we might get somewhere.

[Historic NY]

12. Mines on the list NY-18 WTF Sean????

[pkdu]

14. And yet Ami Bera's biggest contributor seems to be ActBlue.....WTF nt

[Johonny]

15. Why does wall street want to roll back given it is doing great right now?

I assume by Wall Street they mean narrow minded rich people that think they understand investing but sound like Ben Stein when talking about the actual stock market.

[alarimer]

16. They are just ensuring their financial future.

They sell us out so they can make mega bucks.

[Katashi_itto]

17. Why vote Republican, when you can vote 3rd way?

Go Hillary! Get us to the bottom 1st!

[L0oniX]

18. Turd way greed grovelers.

[LiberalArkie]

19. There isn't a liberal or moderate Democratic party any more.

I actually think the Republican will (at some point) go back to moderate/liberal like Eisenhower, Rockefeller etc, the R's of the 50's and 60's before the Democratic party can be thought of Liberal again.

[Cha]

20. Wth.. I recognize Ami Bera as one who we were glad won in close race in Cal..

What are they thinking?!

thanks for the names Segami.. I was looking yesterday for them.

[RiverLover]

21. Traitors! De-regulating Wall Street is NOT what people who care about Americans do

So it isn't what Democrats do.

We Stand Up for People. We didn't elect anyone to Stand Up for Wall Street corruption or to put Our Economy at risk Again.

Thanks for posting Segami! We need to OUT these wolves in sheeps clothing.

[Scuba]

22. Not surprised to see Ron Kind (DINO - WI) listed. We need to primary this anti-union ....

... pro-Wall Street wolf who wears sheep's clothing.

[marmar]

23. Follow the money.

[SidDithers]

24. And now the uberprogressives have their new purge list...

Get rid of 'em!! Replace with Republicans!!

Sid

[onecaliberal]

29. No we have our list of democrats who consistently

Vote as if they are republicans to screw over the poor so the wealthy can have even more. Give me a break.

[joshcryer]

30. And there won't be substantive discussion.

We won't discuss why they chose to vote that way, no one will make efforts to get a statement, they won't be able to explain what happened behind the scenes, or if they voted for it for other circumstances.

Basically there's no analysis here at all. And I frankly don't care anymore.

It is what it is.

[SidDithers]

31. "And I frankly don't care anymore"...

You and me both, friend.

Sid

[hobbit709]

25. They should be forced to wear suits with their sponsors names on them like NASCAR drivers

So we would know right away who owns them.

[Puglover]

26. Very proud of my

Congress Critter Keith Ellison!

Otherwise this blows.

[bullwinkle428]

27. Pathetic. I need to make a call to my representative's office today (Loebsack).

[WillyT]

28. Garamendi Finally Gets To Congress... And Immediately Sells Out...

And I voted for the fucker.

[Jakes Progress]

32. Of course you mean

republicans who call themselves Democrats.

Hypocritical scum.
