The Democratic National Committee has a new national cable TV ad going after Republicans for blocking financial reform, a political counter-attack coming right after yesterday’s GOP filibuster of the bill.
“Wall Street’s risky bets nearly sank our economy,” the announcer says. “But when it came to Wall Street reform that would protect consumers and prevent future bailouts, every Senate Republican voted ‘no.’ Republicans voted to block reform, after a fundraiser with Wall Street lobbyists. Republicans stood by as Wall Street ran wild. Now they are standing with the big banks again. Tell Republicans, if they side with Wall Street over Main Street, you won’t be siding with them.”
