Last week I made a summary with the WORST of the WORST on the Bailout bill, this other one is a positive selection of the BEST in the U.S. House of Representatives, delivering the best speeches on the day the Bailout failed (September 29, 2008). The bill was brought back from the Senate and passed in the House on October 3rd 2008.
These men opposed the Bailout defying fear tactics, speaking with eloquence and moral clarity, all having the highest honor of being loyal to the U.S. Constitution, for Liberty.
I'm not including Congressman #1, the Champion of the Constitution, Ron Paul [R-TX], I have already posted his two speeches on the Bailout.
Republican Members are yielded time to speak by Spencer Bachus [R - AL], a sellout whose greatest argument for voting YES was "not having a crystal ball", either his intellect is below average or he is in the soup with Henry Paulson.
By order of appearance,
Thaddeus McCotter [R-MI]
"It has always been the temptation in a crisis especially to sacrifice liberty for short-term promises of prosperity, and it was no mistake that during the 1917 Bolshevik Revolution the slogan was 'peace, land and bread.' Today you are being asked to choose between bread and freedom. I suggest that the people on Main Street have said that they prefer their freedom, and I am with them."

Jeb Hensarling [R-TX]
"I can raid my neighbor's college fund for his children, go put it on a roulette table in Las Vegas, maybe I'll triple his money for him, but you know what, Madam Speaker, it's not a risk my neighbor voluntarily assumed."

John Culberson [R-TX]
"I want to point out that this legislation is giving us the choice between bankrupting our children or bankrupting a few of these big financial institutions on Wall Street that made bad decisions. Now, my daughter didn't do anything to deserve this. I know what the banks on Wall Street did."

Hensarling is so great. He needs to be highlighted more by the Republican party.
