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.

By order of appearance,

Jeff Miller [R-FL]
"By demanding this bailout money, the administration attempted to circumvent the legislative process. Moreover, the administration continues to insist that their way is the only way to avoid an imminent crisis. And perhaps most stunning is that the administration officials that are responsible for protecting American taxpayers and our free-market system were asleep at the switch. "

Jeff Flake [R-AZ]
"In reality, the crisis we now face is a result of government intervention in the market. We are in this predicament largely because implicit, and eventually explicit, Federal guarantees in Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac shielded the financial services sector from market discipline."

Louie Gohmert [R-TX]
"Please, please don't betray this Nation's great history. The committees used to do good work and ferret this stuff out. They haven't been allowed to do their work, or they would have done a better job. Let the committees do the work. Let's get a better bill, and save America from Congress hurting it by jumping off this precipice.

  • Jeff Flake is a really good congressman. I hope he is able to run for a higher powered office. He also has great principals, being he is LDS.
