What stands out is the truth, that is more important than any opinion by anyone.

If a person is in favor of Pay Day Lenders, they are not progressive or caring in my opinion
If a person takes money from these business, they are not the kind of person that deserves a special position in my opinion
If a person takes a very strong position against fair consumer protection legislation and against the agency that is supposed to protect consumers from fraud and unfair business practices, then that person does not deserve my support. ever !!!

I do not care what sex that person is,
I do not care what religion that person is,
I do not care about their family,
I do not care about their position on a lot of other issues.

To me, taking money from the poor, on so called legal loans, at incredible high interest rates, disqualifies that person from a position in the party that I support. That is a crucial character issue for me.

If the person is In charge of bank, Like Jamie Diamond...then that is the truth.
If that person is in charge of anything else, and holds that character, then that is the truth..

and...that is my opinion as I attempted to back up in the Original Post..

Yes, this is ugly to discuss this..in a way that is not particularly nice about someone's character..
But to me..as ugly as that is...it is far more ugly, ugly in ways most of us do not know...to be caught in one of those Pay Day Loan Circles, borrowing money to pay off the last loan, on and on and on...Thinking about it makes me
