The only way to describe the fundraiser Republican Steve Stivers had with bank lobbyists and lobbyists for financial firms would be a lovefest. Stivers, a former bank lobbyist, was part of a large money grab funding fest with big shot Republican, Spencer Bachus.
Modern Esquire at Plunderbund, says it best:
....The Columbus Dispatch notes that while Congresswoman Mary Jo Kilroy was at the White House to witness the President’s signing the historic Wall Street reform bill into law that she helped to shape, her opponent, Steve Stivers, former bank lobbyist, was in D.C. hosting a fundraiser with the reform bill’s opponents....
.....Here’s a protip from me to the Stivers campaign: If you’re already saddled with the fact that your candidate used to (and I mean, fairly recently) be a bank lobbyist, don’t attack your opponent’s Wall Street reform while still wiping the shrimp cocktail sauce off over your $1,000 a plate fundraiser packed with Wall Street lobbyists. Cause what you did today, was just ballsy stupid.
Exactly!!!!
If you are looking to get some fair and square treatment from the banking industry, you shouldn't vote for a banking insider and former bank lobbyist, Steve Stivers. Stivers seems to be embracing his inner bank lobbyist self. Stivers and his like-minded bank lobbyists in Washington, DC, are waiting for him to win election.
Rep. Mary Jo Kilroy (OH-15-Democrat) represents people, not banks.
We cannot allow that to happen.
