wife's
log akin continue on the republican theme really
briefly so Sam has been talking a lot about how this whole nomer
that this whole notion that there's this big argument between the serious
business
republicans and and a tea party Republicans in the
been on the wall street boys the money boys are gonna sit down and they're
gonna start
are mounting non crazy candidates in primaries and there's a real fault line
opening up the Republican Party well
first the mall at least
the people saying that are kind and implicitly acknowledging that there's no
such thing as a moderate Republican left
okayed like years alter right-wing Republicans who happens not be
absolutely insane understand some basic principles a macro finance center able
to like
shake Barack Obama's hand without thinking it will make them gay
okay there those republicans they're all true conservative
and then there is Ted Cruz Michele Bachmann Sarah Palin
just demented insanity
I so at least for acknowledging there's no such thing as moderates everything
we're talking about here
ultra-right wing and you know what because the role to right-wing
their isn't relieved had become a conflict here
and as Alec I the Kilis
mcgillis our reports in the Republic he's talking about a new
I information on on contributions from
business groups Tea Party candidates and first he makes is very important point
and actually the there there's two can connect the points 1 was also raised by
Michael into writing slot Michael and said
all these right-wing Republicans a pro-business
antique popular ENT workers rights anti-environment
and the difference in some cases being that with some these Tea Party guys
they're more likely to represent
ot like the interest more pure leave somebody like
the Koch brothers or regional business magnets
or people like that so it's still business and corporate interest that
might not be is exclusively Wall Street is almost them
all than take money from Wall Street as well wanna get ready then ran into
financial regulations
but some the dividing line with doing something like the debt ceiling is just
a different
it's just the difference how much a corporate special interests
is going to be a affected by given policy in OK scissors actually a
rejection of corporate special interests
mcgillis points out the new republic he says
does quote McGill's ever since a tea party Republicans arrived on the scene
washed and I've cast a wary eye
the notion of them is grass roots and surgeons disconnected from the party is
big business and Wall Street base
hack when I went looking for a tea party Tribune
red Congressman Tom graves a Georgian the night at the August 11th so to
resolve that summer's debt-ceiling showdown
I found him at a fundraiser at in AT&T's box at National Stadium
no surprise there now there's a Ryann goes on to quote a recent report
that was a revealed in today's %uh
in the washington post with the help of the center for
response APOEL tix they talk about some new campaign contributions
a given to to tea party leaders and Republican candidates
the American Bankers Association game more money over the last two election
cycles
GOP lawmakers who in effect voted to allow the United States to default on
its debt
are rather than those who voted against that scenario
ABA contributed 2.2 million dollars to lawmakers who ultimately
more the group warnings second only to the Club for Growth
just ahead of Koch Industries both of which are leading sources of funds for
conservative candidates
at financial services firms including hedge funds
and major banks a major banks contributions sold more than 26 million
dollars over the last two cycles the Republican lawmakers
who voted against the deal to reopen the government
and of course let's get specifically it a cruise senator Ted Cruz
whose 21 hour for speech blah blah blah I helped spark
the shutdown I'm I can especially when he said that exactly well with more
movie references
blah blah blah field operations blah blah blah doctor seuss
blah blah blah in eggs and ham green eggs and ham he took
I 700 the
I N 86 a thousand I 157
financial services companies I he
more than the amount he received from the club growth and of course his wife
works at Goldman Sachs and his health plan comes to Goldman Sachs
and you know the the kind of closing point here these numbers will come as a
surprise to me was through the show
but the point is to is that these guys campaign done this
when they were getting all these monies from from the supposedly responsible
actors
they campaigned were gonna hold the government hostage
were gonna wage radical anti-constitutional
effort to repeal established law that's what the campaign that
and the reason that hedge funds and Wall Street all the other special interest
keep delivery money because at the end that they were the most concerned about
getting rid of government regulation everything allowing themselves to have
to strip away the last tiny
remnants of accountability that is still held over them
they want they're all gone the Tea Party shares the same agenda
and fundamentally it's the same thing its
the point 00 all 1 percent party
and everything is just a variation of craziness
and varying levels I love well I don't hate gay people
I don't really mind abortion but fundamentally don't touch my money
or don't or better yet don't disrupt my ability to take
your money which is much more accurately this how to describe it
and other people who think that shaking hands Brock Obama
will make them gay that's it there's no other distinction besides that
I see can get a bad impression with that one
a look a
its common mytouch but some members of the
a Republican caucus think that shaking hands with them
at a posh against them will make the bisexual
walk look a true up
this is true I'm a very good looking man I'm a good-looking map
and you will have a taste buds more specific than
you will want the
to date me specifically and I think that that's
a part of the reason that you're seeing such an intense
a backlash %uh to me personally
you look at a cruise and you know what
