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.

Pelosi’s Politburo
They'll have a new bill, with the goodies available for voting on within a day or so, or maybe they'll let the Senate take the lead. In any event, the wayward Dems will get the goodies they want, and probably the few safeguards in the defeated bill will be dropped, and we'll have another vote. Probably pass it this time. Alternatively the Senate, which takes up the bailout tomorrow, will pass the original proposal, with RINO help, and then the House will rubber stamp that, after some arm twisting on both sides, by the President and the DemonRat leadership.
I thought Mitt was up to his eyeballs in campaign debt. But who knows. Maybe tanc has a job lined up as a Goldman Sachs lobbyist.
Sheila Wheres the camera Jackson-Lee
I SAW that! And I was quite surprised. I wonder if it was because of the ACORN pork being dropped out?
Ander Crenshaw R-FL 4th voted for this garbage. I just called his Jax office to let them know if the Congressman was looking for a reaonable solution, all he had to do was give Newt a ring. I’m sure he has the number.
In the meantime...The 228-205 vote Monday exposed deep unease among rank-and-file lawmakers in both parties with what would be an unprecedented intervention in the private sector.
According to the House Majority Leader, H.R.3997 will be used as the vehicle for the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008.
I know it sounds as if we are making a mistake but Pigosi needed an existing bill to carry this stuff to the floor and she picked the one you listed. Here is a link to all the detail of the bill:
http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/bdquery/z?d110:h.r.03997:
Demand immediate resignation.... Pelosi is a complete failure.
Off with the traitors head!!!
Simpson Yea
Sali Nay
Arg my guy voted for it. Yet another reason I wish I lived a mile down the road so I could vote for Sali.
This is the bill title they just voted on HR 3997.
BILL TITLE: To amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to provide earnings assistance and tax relief to members of the uniformed services, volunteer firefighters, and Peace Corps volunteers, and for other purposes
What the heck is going on. I thought they just voted the bailout down?
Drier, AYE? He just about called this legislation subversive communism on the floor.
yitbos
Post 67 says this is the count for the wrong bill?
Jerry Lewis voted for it. I called his Washington office and said I want him to vote against it. The clerk asked why, and I said we don’t need to buy old, bad paper. He hung up on me.
Well Politicians dont think its expensive all
