TANCREDO????
I am surprised Cantor voted YES.
Cantor and Tancredo? Say it ain’t so!
Looks like a lot of blue state Repubs voted for it. I counted 7 from CA alone and noticed several NY and a few other blue’s too. Take away all the blue’s and not many red state Repubs left.
You forgot my congressman, Kevin Brady from TX. He voted for the bailout and will get a call from me tomorrow.

These critters who are retiring are either covering for Bush, McCain or Wall St. They had nothing to lose and possibly are paying back some campaign contribution favors.
Speaks volumes.
If Pelosi tried to cram the ACORN stuff back in the bill to win more Democrats, she will say goodbye to all those GOP votes, I’ll bet. Also, she will face a Bush veto and all the ACORN stuff will explode into public view.
