Bailout plan failed due to 41% of House DEMs voting against it.
Vanity

We will hear stories about how the House GOP caused this bill to fail. But 34% of House GOP voted for the bailout plan. This "bi-partisan no-vote" was due to the surprising number of House DEMs who voted against the plan.

Pelosi is on tv now saying that she delivered her side! What a crock of pickles. 41% is NOT delivering her side. She is the head of the majority, and could not delvier a majority vote! So what do 41% of dems know that we don’t .

I am confused!!! How can 41% of Democrats vote against this bailout and Nancy Pelosi blames the Republicans for the failure to pass it? Oh, yeah, just more nonsense from the leader of the House.

Listening to Pelosi and her partisan twisted speak. She is a liar and a moron.

Why is it that the position of Speaker is always filled with idiot hacks no matter the Party.

What a joke!

Well that means that 2/3rds of the GOP voted against it as opposed to only a little over 1/3 of the Dems. That argument appears ludicrous on it’s face.

Democrats are Scum. They caused the problem, it’s their bill, and they want Republicans to pass it for them. If they want to give $700 billion to their crooked buddies on Wall Street, let the Democrats do it for themselves. There is no reason Republicans should take the blame for it.

So what the democrats are saying is that the House Republicans were responsible for beating a bill that had the support of only 25% of Americans? Don't throw me down that briar patch!

Yes, but Pelosi didn't need the GOP to pass this bill. And if she had gotten the DEMs to vote 95% for the bailout, added to the GOP voting for it would have produced a veto-proof margin (not that a veto was in question here).

Pelosi is finished, she tried to rail through a plan almost half her party rejected and Obama tried to force through. Some leadership.

TRANSLATION: the house rats want to get reelected, the more that is unveiled with this scam, the more the American public is telling them to stuff the bailout

I heard that 97 Dems voted against it. Problem is, the ones I heard during the debate that said they were going to vote no were doing so for the wrong reasons. They did not like the bill because it did not have enough giveaways in it.

They wanted extensions for unemployment, relief from credit card debt and automobile loans, etc. etc. etc. In other words, they want to become the nations bank and divey money out the way they see fit.

Where's the vote list?

I wanna see how my Rat, Nick Lampson, voted since he is up for reelection against a strong Conservative challenger Pete Olson.

Because 95% of the Members of the House are idiot hacks.

Now it is Frank who is blaming Paulsen for the debacle. This is a Dem tag team match with each idiot given a blame object. The Reps are incapable of dealing with this propaganda which is exactly why we are all effed.
