First they're for it, then against it?

Sounds like the Republicans are a bunch of babies...what, they can't listen to a speech by Pelosi and still vote the correct way for the good of the country? Crybabies, all of them...

___________

"The package, which was backed by both the Democratic and Republican congressional leadership as well as President Bush, failed in the House by a vote of 228-205.

A majority of Democrats voted for the bill. A majority of Republicans voted against it.

The Republican House leadership blamed Pelosi for giving a partisan speech before the voting that they said alienated House Republicans."

"Ask yourselves why you came here and vote with courage and integrity to those principles. If, like me, you came here because you believe in limited government and the freedom of the American marketplace, I urge you vote in accordance with your convictions," Rep. Mike Pence, R-Indiana, said.

"Stand up for limited government and economic freedom. Stand up for the American taxpayer. Reject this bailout and vote no on the emergency economic stabilization act," he said.

___________

I other words, vote no and doom the country we live with possibly years of our children paying the bill that could have maybe have been softened by a positive vote today...

  The Dem did not need the Rep. Party had enough votes on there they run the house so the should have agreed on this so dont blame the Rep. Party. This is a bad idea to bail these banks out.

    And you'd rather have the alternative? A complete or near-complete meltdown of our financial system?
