Bond Suddenly Thinks Debate on Wall Street Reform is a Good Thing

Kit Bond and Senate Republicans dropped their filibuster yesterday to allow Wall Street reform debate to continue. Bond now says that "it's time we got the details laid out for the public" -- even though he voted on Tuesday and Wednesday to block debate on the Senate floor (he skipped Monday's cloture vote).

Still, Bond remains adamantly opposed to the legislation, referring to unspecified concerns about 'Main Street.'  "This bill absolutely cripples Main Street," he says -- but it's not at all clear what that means.

KUDLOW: The Republicans caucus has changed its position, and has agreed to unanimous consent to bring the bill to the floor. Why?  May I ask why, Mr. Bond? 

BOND: It's time we got the details laid out for the public...because this bill absolutely cripples Main Street. We're hearing from back home, and I want people back home to know what this bill will to the business, to the credit lenders in our state...

I'm hoping that we can get a majority to change the bad parts. If we continue to have the bad parts in, I'll do everything I can to kill it.

Bond said "Main Street" so many times, I alsmot forgott that he's actually doing Wall Street's bidding.
