Yes, the republicans are blaming house speaker Nancy Pelosi for the
failure of the Bailout to pass. Why? Because she made a partisan
speech.

We can't have people voting for a bill if there have been any
partisan speeches. The devastation of listening to a partisan
speech on the floor of the house was just too much for the delicate
sensibilities of the sissies on the right. So they were forced to
vote no against the bill, regardless of whether it was good for the
economy.

As Nancy Pelosi walked from the lectern the republicans all started
handing her their balls since they would not be needing them
anymore.


How many democrats voted against the bill? Were they offended by
Nancy too?

A Bill brought to the Congress by a Republican President by his
Secretary of
the Treasury got more support from Democrats than Republicans.
I didn't think it was a good bill but to have it fail for twelve
votes that
should have been forthcoming from Republican ranks isn't due to Nancy
Pelosi's remarks. It is another failure by George Bush and John
McCain lead
effectively.

In the long run, it will be good for the country. The timing couldn't
be better, actually.

The timing could be a lot better. Congress needs to act but the process
needs enough time to act responsibly.
George Bush sending Hank Paulson over with three pages of wish list and the
promise of melt down in the markets was pure BS and in the end Bush and
McCain couldn't get the Republicans to vote for the bill.

I'd say somebody ought to be taken out and shot but I'm afraid exactly that
might happen if the worst happens.
Ah, what the hell, somebody ought to be taken out and shot. The lot of them.
