-- Well, professor, are you telling us (Paul Begala does this alot, condescendingly tell folks what he thinks they don't know, then proceed to tell them what they should know and believe) that the bill Harry had such high passage for would fly through the House without issue thus no changes to make going to conference? --

No. I'm not asserting that Reid thought HR 6049 was going to fly through the House. In fact, he knew it wasn't going anywhere, due to the reason I alluded to in my previous - that House DEMs objected to some tax relief without a corresponding tax increase.

But your argument that Reid and Peolsi had a grand plan to reject bailout-only in the House, so they (and only the DEMs being interested in the pork) could combine it with HR 6049 redux, well that theory is full of holes.

-- You have a pleasant evening ... professor. --

You are an insulting jerk, calling me "professor," and comparing me with Paul Begala.

Well, at least you get it, I was in fact insulting you with the Begala reference.

Incidentally, it is the House where legislation is written, then it passes through the Senate, and if sent back with changes, conference between the two Houses seeks to rectify any changes, then it must be voted upon unchanged, again by both Houses of Congress, in order to become something passed to the President for signing.

You tried to imply I didn't understand that Senate pork had been passed in the Senate but had not been passed in exact same language in the House. Your agenda to impugn Republicans seems to be tainting your mental acuity.
