Why did Republicans vote for huge bonuses for failed Wall St. Execs?

The GOP voted to bail out Wall St, then blocked the Wall St reform bill, and on top of everything the GOP voted to give huge bonuses to failed Wall St Execs. Remember that the GOP received more then $10,000,000 from Wall St reform lobbyists in 2010.

Update:

Hey Jack, you don't have any credibility.

Update 2:

Primo sources? no? I didnt think so.

    all of them of course. maximum have their bonus tied to their settlement - it is going to likely be paid despite if the organization is going below. i'm shocked human beings are not commenting on what's going at here. Its person-friendly - the main pass republican occasion understand they are going to no longer win the election. despite if McCain wins - its a shallow victory as they do no longer administration him. So whom ever is in play in January he's loaded with 2 wars, huge worldwide debt (truly to China); and now a seven-hundred billon greenback bail out. they are economically screwed - they gained't be waiting to stay as much as provides made in the time of the marketing campaign. Roll on 4 or 8 years and conservative annoying line, important pass republicans will use it interior the subsequent election - thankfully forgetting that they positioned us in this mess interior the 1st place. As a chum of mine could say - its in basic terms organization.

    ...because republicans are wholly dedicated to the Billionaires - often foreign Billionaires. They can't shovel the national wealth into the pockets of their Billionaires fast enough. And now with that incredibly stupid Supreme Court decision of last year, the Billionaires can buy more republicans a seat in government with secret lumps of cash.

    Brain dead republicans call all this "freedom".

    You can kiss the republic goodbye!

    Democrats controlled the Congress.

    Democrats created those bonuses. Democrats passed those bills.

    Democrats rewarded the very people destroying America.

    Sounds like typical Democrat Leftist policy making to me.

    Because they are the Party of White Collar Crime. They'll pander to social conservatives, libertarians, and deficit hawks, but ultimately, they are controlled by corporate criminals.

    Because without wall street, believe it or not, there would be no product innovation, and american business would be severely hindered. If you're stupid enough not to recognize this, go crawl back under your rock.
