The BailOut Fiasco: The Speech That Killed The Bill? Part 2

The U.S. House Of Representatives voted on the $700 billion bailout today. 95 Democrats and 133 Republicans voted against it.

There is a rumor going around that some Republicans who had agreed to vote for the measure were taken aback by Nancy Pelosi's speech on the House floor.

Was that the reason for the failure of the bill? I doubt anyone changed their mind because of that speech, but if they did, I guess you could say that it was the speech that killed the bill.

great book Luxorari.What killed the bill were the flood of phone calls from the americans who were outraged that we,the american people,are asked to pay for a bailout that congress was warned about and ignored it!Instead of firing these people we are asking them to fix it. Nancy is a hypocrite of hypocrites. i looked up the word hypocrite and her picture was there. by the way,why is Obama so silent on this? Is it because he's the 2nd highest recipient of donations from these institutions?present

Why does Nancy even waste her time in Congress? I thought she was busy saving the planet? HA! Watch her save this!

Read the book "Do As I Say, Not As I Do" to find out what a hypocrite Nancy is. Why is she slurring so badly here? Is it Xanax, Oxycotin or just botox? She should put that head scarf back on and talk to the Syrians. They like her....they like all stupid Americans like her.

Funniest thing of all is the dems have a majority but she can't get them to vote with her. Why do you think Nancy stressed the vote be BIPARTISAN??? She should have enough dem votes to pass it, but wants Republican votes to cover her, in case the bill wreaks more havoc.This is a dem scandal & Barney Frank, descendant of Daffy Duck, is at head of it! But,he got away with having a gay prostitution ring in his basement. Nancy's constituents walk on all 4's in parades! What should we expect?

The democrats under Bill Clinton relaxed the regulations on Fannie Mae, and Freddie Mac, as well as other lending institutions. They did this to give loans to low income individuals who couldn't qualify otherwise. This is why we have the current crisis. IN 2005 McCain warned of the danger, and tried to get Congress to return to sound lending policies. Obama and fellow democrats refused. The democrats caused this crisis, not the republicans.

we now know reganomics will never work, and he was wrong and socialism is the only way, we must join the world in one socialist/communist world.

Dont even blame this on Nancy Pelosi, she is wonderful woman who wants to help this country with her great vision. She is our only hope right now, she gives us inspiration and reason to live. Once Obama wins the u.s will be complete. Thanks, just understand that you typical republicans cant face facts. That visionaries like Pelosi are 100% right all the time, deal with it fool.
