The Party of Nyet

Little known fact: Nikita Khrushchev was, in fact, a Republican.

No matter what the democracies say, I vote Nyet! Nyet! Nyet!

On second thought, maybe not. More likely he was just a role model for Republican Senators:

Senate Republicans, united in opposition to the Democrats’ legislation to tighten regulation of the financial system, voted on Monday to block the bill from reaching the floor for debate.

They weren’t voting against the bill. No, they were voting against even starting debate on a financial reform bill. The argument seems to be that, since government is imperfect, it should not be allowed to set rules for the folks who nearly wrecked the economy.

I wonder what voters will think of that, come November?
