We will hear stories about how the House GOP caused this bill to fail. But 34% of House GOP voted for the bailout plan. This "bi-partisan no-vote" was due to the surprising number of House DEMs who voted against the plan.

Is this the Democrats' "chickens coming home to roost?"

In 2006, the Democrats fooled Americans into voting them control of Congress by running "conservatives" against Republicans. Now they're surprised that those "conservative" Democrats are not lining up in lock-step to support Pelosi?

Is it the conservative DEMs who voted against this or the extreme leftist DEMs who wanted even more concessions (or both)?

I know. I should have included “Oh wait - Considering the people that elect them this outcome is foregone.”

Pelosi, Fwank, Emmanuel & the other usual suspects are blaming Republicans, very concerned about the country, and so forth. I think Bawney just said he was going to find 12 Repubs and offer them oral sex.

Best line I've seen so far:

"If fingers were guns, we'd be rid of this mess."

a fact that will conveniently be ignored by the maistream media and that witch Pelosi. Nothing ever changes.

Boehner is showing more leadership than I’ve seen in years. Talk about a line in the sand. We owe these brave few our support!!!

And the fat cats will see it as a great buying opportunity.

When Pelosi slams the GOP for not passing this bill, she is pinning a big button on their chests which reads, “American Hero”.

The bill we eventually get will be to the left of this one. A lot of freepers cheering the defeat of this bill have cut off their noses to spite their faces.

Get Your Talking Points Here:

* "Vital" Financial Bailout Dies In
DEMOCRAT-CONTROLLED House Of Representatives.

* Pelosi And Other Democrat Leaders FAIL To Get Their Own Democrats To Follow Them.

* 40% Of House Democrats Cross The Aisle To Side With House Republicans!

* The only thing that was "Bipartisan" was the OPPOSITION to this bill.

* Once Again - Democrats Show Why Their Congress Has A 17% Approval Rating.

Don't you just love the name of this bill.

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

“Listening to Pelosi and her partisan twisted speak.”

That is exactly what killed this last night.
