Pelosi: The Legislation Has Failed But the Crisis Has Not Gone Away; We Must Work in a Bipartisan Way to Pass New Legislation Sep 29 07:32 PM US/Eastern

WASHINGTON, Sept. 29 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Chairman Barney Frank of the House Financial Services Committee, and House Democratic leaders held a news conference this afternoon following the defeat of the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008. Below are her opening remarks:

"Good afternoon. As you know, about a week and a half ago, the Administration visited Capitol Hill and described the crisis in our financial markets and in our economy. A couple of days later, they presented us with their legislation, and since then we have worked in a bipartisan way to improve that legislation. We've entered into those conversations in the spirit of bipartisanship, with the understanding that each side would have half of our votes to pass the bill.

"Today when the legislation came to the floor, the Democratic side more than lived up to its side of the bargain. While the legislation may have failed, the crisis is still with us.

Whenever I see Bela Pelosi open her mouth I am reminded of the 1978 version of ‘Invasion of the Body Snatchers’. The pod people would just open their mouths wide an make a sound like an alarm.

"CONNNNSERRRRRRRRVATIIIIIIIVE!!!!!"

“freshmen dimos up for re-election were told to vote against the bailout, and dims were chortling about how they would use republicans’ votes against them come election day. “

I’m missing this logic.

Americans are opposed to the bailout 9 to 1, republicans voted the way the majority of Americans wanted and the rats will use that against republicans?

Help me out.

In Washington we have a Stupid Party and an Evil Party. Every once in a while they do something "bipartisan" that is both stupid and evil.

Pelosi should go pound sand before being disgraced and thrown out of office. She’s a national disgrace and a pathetic reprehensible moron.

Barney should go to jail with his treasonous cohorts—every one of them. The Muslim Messiah needs to have his participation in this fiasco exposed ASAP.
