Liberals go to the barricades to defend crony capitalism

Liberals go to the barricades to defend crony capitalism | WashingtonExaminer.com:
"There's nothing like a good fight over corporate welfare to bring out the Left's love of Big Business.
In the current battle over the Export-Import Bank, Democratic politicians and liberal journalists have dropped their populist pretenses and openly embraced the corporate-federal collusion that Ex-Im embodies.
For some, it's largely partisanship or disdain for the Tea Partiers who want Ex-Im dead. 
For others, it's that increasing government's role in the economy takes precedence over railing against Big Business. 
And for a shrewd few, it's about raising money from K Street and Wall Street."
