I suppose if it is bad legislation (and given Pelosi’s ideology, it probably will be) and the GOP is barred from debating or amending it, they either vote “no” or just sit on their hands and vote “present”
The public must absolutely be made aware of the arrogant shutout of the minority party, the FAILURE at the very outset of Obama’s regime to work in a bipartisan spirit, and the the democrats MUST OWN all the consequences of what they do or do not do.
Bailout backlash is starting to build and this is gonna be a killer, when folks see the corrupt incompetent glitterati, special interests, and labor unions partying and squandering their tax money.
I think Pelosi will be popping her stitches for HER party to take all the responsibility, by about the third or 4th bailout bill and all the emails and switchboards jammed with angry constituents demanding a vote of “no” - and no “bipartisan” support to claim or blame.
So when is Boehner going to call a press conference? (crickets). If this were Repubs. doing this you'd bet the dems would be shouting about it from the top of the steps. The dems. would have emails out to all of the constituency like yesterday and Repubs. are doing what...?
