Bailing Out Congress
By a vote of 228-205, the U.S. House of Representatives rejected the bill designed to bailout Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, AIG and other Wall Street entities. Despite the best efforts of Rep. Pelosi and other Democrat party leaders, over 40% of the House Democrats voted against the bill. It is important to note that the Democrat majority in the House is large enough to pass any bill without any support for Republicans or Independents. [READ MORE].
Undoubtedly you have heard a variety of talking heads and politicians give a wide range of reasons for the failure of the bill to pass the House. The Spin Doctors have indeed been busy.

I wonder why mainstream media is not reporting this?

Bush and a host of leading congressional figures had implored the lawmakers to pass the legislation despite howls of protest from their constituents back home.

In the beginning, Sen Reid said that they didn't know what to do and will just wait it out.
A week or so later, now all of a sudden it HAS to be done immediately or the world will end.
Well, the world didn't end. Neither did our economy. In fact, today (Tues) the DJIA is up a little under what it fell yesterday. And now the Congress that HAD to have it done has adjourned until Thursday. What happened to the urgency?
Am I the only one that sees through these childish games?
I think they wanted to ram this through due to how deep the Democrats are involved in this corruption. Of course, the mainstream media will cover for them.
Meanwhile, the Dems have the gall to blame this ALL on the Republicans even when presented with direct evidence.
Just to note for the Dem leaders - 12 dems on Rep Frank's own committee that helped draft it didn't vote for it.
Is this nothing more than political theater in a naked attempt to castigate Republicans? Is it that plus pressure to pass another bill that is more socialist? Is this is a coverup? Its a bit of all of the above and probably even more.
BTW: How they came up with $700B (from the Forbes artcle above):
"It's not based on any particular data point," a Treasury spokeswoman told Forbes.com Tuesday. "We just wanted to choose a really large number.""
To me, that alone is enough to say NO!
Here's a possible scenario
1. Dems have a large enough majority in the House to pass any bill they want.
2. Dems make a bigshow of coming up with a "compromise" bill.
3. Dems bring up the bill for a vote but 'selected' Dems vote no.
4. Dems blame Repubs despite the fact that there are not enough Repubs to pass or block the bill by themselves
5. Dems craft neww bill - this time with all the funding for acorn, la raza, etc.
6. Dems pass the bill
7. Taxpayer gets frakked.
