Where's the blue ink?

"A full 90 members of Congress who voted to bailout Wall Street in 2008 failed to support financial reform reining in the banks that drove our economy off a cliff. But when you examine campaign contribution data, it's really no surprise that these particular lawmakers voted to mortgage our economic future to Big Finance: This election cycle, they've raked in over $48.8 million from the financial establishment. Over the course of their Congressional careers, the figure swells to a massive $176.9 million."

 

Not that too many voters will care to make the distinction but a key metric ought to be that if the Sen/Rep voted for "bailouts", did they then oppose reform?

Re: Where's the blue ink?

So those 90 were in agreement with you?
