Throw 'Em All Out: Do-Nothing Democrat Congress Fails to Pass Bailout Bill
The Patriot Room ^ | September 29, 2008 | Bill Dupray

A Dire Emergency. That is what they told us. And even with full control of the Congress, the support of a lame duck president, his Treasury Secretary, and the Chairman of the Federal Reserve, Nancy Pelosi failed to pass this EMERGENCY legislation. The Bailout bill failed by a vote of 207-226, with 94 Democrats voting against it.

She needed to persuade 10 Democrats to join their own leadership, and the bill would have passed. It is a catastrophic failure of leadership of a Congress with a 9% approval rating.

I just don’t understand why McCain isn’t running against the Democratic do nothing congress instead of trying to find some middle of the road arguments. Let Obama run against Bush, while McCain pounds on the Democrats as inept, corrupt, and uninterested in anything but their own political futures. I think it is winning strategy.

I am on the phone with my Web Hosting Company as I write. I got a “complaint” (and yep, I’m thinking I made the Brown Shirt list). I will keep you posted.

Hosting site said that there was a complaint lodged, but then they couldn’t find it, so they put me back up pending its resurfacing. Screwey, but no confirmed case of Brown Shirting. And so . . . we fight on.
