I want a transcript of this, and can't find one.

Based on hints I red here and here, (edit and here), this is something that backs up the ranting I've been doing (to your collective groaning) for the past year and a half.

I very much suspect that Jon Stewart has collected, in one little video, at least three of the top five reasons why I can never vote for Barack Obama in 2012, no matter who runs against him. But I don't KNOW it, and I don't have the bandwidth to get the clip, dammit.

An example of how blatant conflict of interest is REWARDED...

... and, more to the point, how Democrats and Republicans are united in supporting the wealthy instead of providing an equal playing field in the market.

Skim down to the quoted section at the bottom. 42 Democrats, 29 Republicans on the House panel creating the proposed financial consumer protection agency.

A Republican proposes a special amendment exempting car dealerships (who sell loans to car buyers) from the new agency's purview.

The amendment PASSES.

47-21.

18 of 42 Democrats (at minimum) voted AGAINST holding used car salesmen accountable for cruddy car loans. It might be as many as 20- there were two either absent or not voting.

Worse, a lot of the Democratic LEADERSHIP changed their votes from no to yes after speaking out against the amendment.

Put not your trust in Democrats; you will be betrayed.
