She might try, but it will not fly and she will be seen for the partisan marxist that she is! The American people are not all stupid!
Let ‘em all sink. It’s time to embrace the horror. We should take this bad tasting medicine now and get it over with rather than drag this out for years with what will become the most massive government boondoggle in American history.
If you want the entire turd sandwich, be my guest.
The said the same thing after the AMNESTY bill collapsed.
I hate to say it, but this is what I thought all along. The GOP was going to fight against this stuff, not vote for the final compromise - and then find itself facing a far worse bill that actually will pass handily, because it doesn’t even need the GOP to pass.
One of the reasons some Dems didn’t vote for the compromise is that this stuff was stripped out of it. But they’ll all be on board with the new bill.
W and McCain have the Dems in a box.
Yeah, with the result that nothing has been done yet and Obama is going to do whatever he wants with it, and you’re not going to like it. That’s what having your hair on fire does to you.
If they do this....expect Republicans who voted for it to jump ship........there where 65 of them who voted yea. The question is how many of the Democrats who voted ney willing to change their vote to yea but are worried about getting re-elected especially if their constituents have been screaming .......no bailout.
Second comment ~ in a Parliamentary system Pelosi would have called for new elections and stepped down. In Medieval Japan she'd asked the President permission to commit seppuku.
Third comment ~ why isn't AG Mukasey working on getting some indictments on Barney Frank and his little friends who appear to have "looted" the bank ~ he has plenty of time for part time petty chisler's like Rep. Jefferson, but why not Barney? Is it the "gay thing" or something. We need some action on this front.
I wonder how many companies are using today's market colapse to buy back shares of their own stock.
Wow...you’ll probably see a few more Republican “Nay’s” if the lib pork gets added back in. This will be a completely partisan bill at that point, and could actually be a good thing for the election.
IF this happens, it could actually be a blessing in disguise.
Interesting point. Did Pelosi torpedo the bill so she could get something more to her liking? But, if the Republicans all vote no and a few conservative dems (who want to keep their jobs) go with it then she won’t be able to do it.
Bush needs to be told that the American people are overwhelmingly against this. If he wants to go into retirement as the pariah of the republican party then by all means sign it.
Yup we’re gonna see the ACORN money back in and a lot of Dems will be on board.
Financial Ping

“One of the reasons some Dems didn’t vote for the compromise is that this stuff was stripped out of it. But they’ll all be on board with the new bill.”
46 blue dog moderate/conservative dems will never for this bill because if they do the Repubs will win the majority back this cycle. I highly doubt that most of the other 48 dems who voted against the bill will change their votes because if they do and the plan fails, which it would, they will be blamed for it. If Pelosi was going to pass a dem only bill she would have done it, she’s knows politically that it’s impossible.
Yeah but all of that ACORN spending would be very easy for 41 Republicans in the Senate to block from getting cloture.
I don't think I'm exaggerating when I say that we're seeing the rise of CPUSA, and they smell blood in the water.
Just look at Obama's attempted legal threats against his opposition. He's running for dictator. Thin-skinned, supremely arrogant and clueless.
If the Dems propose and manage to pass their bank take-over bill, Obama will lose and the GOP will start to regain Congress. This bill will never get fully implemented.
