Really, GM gave our money to Democrats? To get them re-elected?
That's really adding insult to injury..

Should I mention that both TARP and the GM/Chrysler bailout were signed into law by George W. Bush and had overwhelming Republican support in both the House and Senate? And that GM donated $22,000 to Republicans and $22,000 to Democrats in the last cycle?

And what's the beef with Frank? Was it the Credit Cardholders' Bill of Rights, or the legislation he tried to pass with Oxley in 2005 to tighten regulations on Fannie and Freddie so they wouldn't get themselves in trouble?
