Defying their leaders who had caved, House Republicans managed to defeat the 700 Billion Dollar bailout bill.

The bill would have used US tax payers money to bail out not only US banks but foreign banks as well.

[norcal joe]

Back up to -450.

[longhorn too]

What was the vote?

[HeartlandOfAmerica]

SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET!

[savedbygrace]

In fact, they gotten one vote changed already. Still the vote is being held open.

[evets]

"Bush's fault!"

[Blue Turtle]

Yes..thank you HOUSE REPUBS...take that Schumer and Nancy and Reid.

Finally the Pubbies stand up for something!

There's some Democrats who stood up too - I don't know who they are yet, but we couldn't have defeated it without them. They had the votes to pass it even if every single Republican was opposed.

[beckysueb]

It will pass. They will twist enough arms.

Outstanding! Props to the House GOP for not bowing to socialist propaganda.

Just watched a video where the opening bell failed on Wall Street today, some technical glitch.

I'm glad for now and hope it's true. One day at a time for me on this mess.

227-206 is final vote but the dems are trying to keep it open for changes.

Now its 226-207

[Deo volente]

Why do they even need a bailout?

The Fed pumped $630 BILLION into the markets this morning!

[Skooz]

I’d rather lose my 401K than my country.

I would actually like to keep both. :)

[Enterprise]

Pelosi must step down.

[rawhide]

Yeas-205 Nays-228 at present.

Dow coming back, down only 391 now.

[RandallFlagg]

Great buying opportunity. As soon as the market bottoms, I’m going to take a few K from money market and switch it to an index fund.

I wish I knew someting about how to do that. I see lots of folks making tons of $$$ from this opportunity.

[1Old Pro]

The Dems could not support Pelosi. The Dems are in the majority.

[Illuminatas]

Down 313. Buyers coming into the market. Cmon baby stabalize. Prove that the “bailout” was all hype!
