As the GOP House members vote down the bailout bill...

The Dems control the House and could have passed it on their own if
they truly thought it was the best thing for the Country. *90 some
Dems voted against it.


There was an agreement from both parties that each would put up about
half the votes needed for the bill to pass. The Republicans welshed. Two
thirds of the Democratic majority voted for the bill.

The Bush Administration didn't have the political clout to sell its own
bill to its own party.


You are echoing the reason this Country is in real
trouble.........partisanship. The market was holding at around -570
until Pelosi and her whining gang started to turn it into a food
fight. From that point on the sell off went crazy.

There is enough blame to go around on both sides. The Congress needs
to do what we voted them into office for and get this fixed.
