This is in no way the Dems fault. The bill was a bipartisan bill that was put forth by the Republican President. If the dems put the bill together on their own, with their own stipulations, of course they could pass it. The president may have to hand them this authority later if they are going to have anything passed.

The Republicans are trying to pass the blame of this failure onto some speech by Pelosi which is foolish. If you can't make a rational decision because you've become emotional over some speach by the opposition, you shouldn't be in politics.

tritium tritium:
Nancy Pelosi told Democratic members who were up for re-election they could vote NO on the this unpopular bill.

83 Dems voted against it.

If she was any kind of leader, she could have had the bill passed with a Democratic vote. She did not need the Republican vote, she just wanted to hang this bail out around them.

Couple by a partisan speach blaming the Republicans for this mess, when it's the responsibility of both parties.


133 Republicans voted no as well. What does that say about the GOP? What does that say about Bush that said the bill must pass and McCain that 'suspended' his campaign to seal the deal only to have it flop?

As you conveniently forget the $48 billion he's committed to treating and preventing AIDS in Africa.

Better to spend that money on a global warming snipe hunt than to use it to do some actual good, eh?

The Asian markets are rebounding with even more vigor especially the ones not shackled with a high debt load. Hong Kong, Shenzhen and Shanghai are all marking gains.

this was an interesting comment in forbes )) Hi, I'm Henry Paulson and I helped engineer this crisis as CEO of Goldman Sachs where I earned $500 million by helping slice and dice these bad mortgages into securities and selling them off to the rest of you chumps.
Now as Secretary of the Treasury I am threatening you with economic terrorism and financial armageddon if you don't bail out me and my buddies and give us all your cash for our trash. I demand you do it, do it now and don't ask questions. I'll be leaving my post as Secretary of the Treasury in about 4 months and I'll be needing that $700 billion for when I return to Goldman Sachs as the profits I personally made from this scam are parked in an offshore account and are none of your damn business.

Why Conservatives Led the Fight Against the Bailout Deal
$1:
Their revolt was anything but an act of courage to protect American families.

At first glance, it may appear that the 133 House Republicans who broke with their party's leadership did so out of principle...

House conservatives torpedoed the measure in order to advance their own alternative "bailout," one that's an ideologically motivated back door to bailing out Wall Street without doing anything for Main Street.


Interesting take on the motivations behind the Newt revolt.
