Final vote counts here: http://clerk.house.gov/evs/2008/roll674.xml
Background:
Saturday, September 27, 2008 Speaker Pelosi Blasts "Unpatriotic" Republicans For Skipping Meeting... A Meeting Dems Did Not Invite Them To!!
Despicable Nancy Pelosi calls GOP Unpatriotic for missing a meeting-- A meeting they were not invited to.
Here's some behind the scenes politicking by Democrats at the Congressional bailout talks today, via the House GOP:
I Just wanted to shoot this story regarding the ongoing negotiations your way before you hear the media spin the Dems are feeding them. Republicans were told todays negotiations were for principles. Meaning each partys lead negotiators Senators Chris Dodd and Judd Gregg and Reps. Blunt and Frank. When we showed up to the meeting the list of Dems walking in the door kept growing to include all the above along with Democrats:
Rahm Emanuel (arguable the most political member of the House) Charles Rangel (currently under an ethics investigation) Senator Max Baucus Senator Chuck Schumer (again, one of the most polarizing Members of Congress) Senator Kent Conrad Senator Jack Reed
Thats hardly the deal we were promised, like Mr. Blunt quipped to reporters, I think the ratio's about fair. It's two to eight or something."
And, the Dem spin machine is still in full swing. They said we boycotted earlier meetings, well, as Chris Dodd said last night on NBC, they just forgot to call us. So, maybe an 8-2 fight is the best weve had all week because we are at least at the table.
Later today... Speaker Pelosi had the gall to go before cameras and call the Republican members of the House "unpatriotic" for not attending that earlier meeting.
(The meeting Dodd admitted they weren't invited to.)
And, here is more from Pelosi claiming she was never warned about the financial crisis. She's lying, of course.

I noticed that Lampson pulled his head out of his arse too...Olsen is giving Lampson a run for the money! LOL!!!
I hope you are dead wrong. A taxpayer bailout is wrong. Let the economy take its lumps NOW. Cut the capital gains tax. Encourage the banks to renegotiate their overpriced mortages. Cut corporate taxes. And Drill baby drill.
Without Cantor, Obama’s ACORN buddies would be getting a big subsidy today. Check out this article from WSJ: http://online.wsj.com/article/SB122257181932583099.html?mod=googlenews_wsj
I suspect a subplot is positioning Rahm Emanuel to be speaker.
I just wrote my Rep Bill Young and thanked him for voting against the bill. Knew he would, but wanted to thank him.
Hope everyone writes their Rep and thanks them for voting NO, if that is what you wanted. Obviously there were many Democrat voters who were against the bill and let their Rep. know. There really are some Democrat leaders that have some common sense!
It’s because everyone is trying to access it.
We give illegals jobs, housing, and free medical. Those are pretty expensive votes.
Does anyone have a screen cap of the teary-eyed pelosi?
When Bawney was stammering, Nancy was back there actually crying.
This woman is unqualified for her job. She is a total failure and a bigger partisan fool.
I loved watching her cry.

ARGH!!! Wrong link? Hold on. I’ll find it!
Did I hear a rumor that Romney helped retire Tancredo’s debt or was that true? If so, maybe that was leverage for an Aye?
Here is another link which has more information than you ever wanted to know. I think they used this bill which had been floating around to carry the bailout. I think it was a matter of expedience to get it to the floor asap.
There is a line in the header at this site which says: "According to the House Majority Leader, H.R.3997 will be used as the vehicle for the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008." http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/bdquery/z?d110:h.r.03997: Hope this helps.
