>>>>>>>Nancy Pelosi says the Rs failed, but, as Sheppard Smith pointed out, the Ds have the votes to pass this thing, without the Rs. Then she wants to rail against the Rs for this mess, when the whole housing thing was brought about by the Ds forcing lending agencies to loan money to people who could not pay.....
>>>>>>
>>>>>>Come on John. The Dems voted to pass it, and the Reps voted to kill it. If a mere 12 of the 133 Rep 'no' votes had been 'yes' votes, it would have passed. You can spin this any way you want, but the vote went the way it did and it's on record. I even see that Pelosi voted to pass it.
>>>>>
>>>>>What if 12 Dems voted yes? It comes to generics, Alan. Let's look at this board. As I see it, correct me if I am wrong, Democrats essentially supported the bill, and Republicans not. Would it be difficult to put your vote where your words are?

>>>>???
>>>>
>>>>Dems supported it and Reps did not. Yes. That's exactly what I said. John wants to blame the Dems for not passing the bill, but it was the reps who overwhelmingly voted against it. What was it you thought I said?
>>>
>>>1/3 of the democrats voted against it. They could have easily passed it if the democrats had supported it.

>>If they all were on the same line. In general you'd could say, the democrate voted for and the republicans voted against. I see pattern here of certain members spinning things to suit their own believes. That really is sick if you ask me.

>>Anyaways, isn't it ironic the democrats did support the plan off a republican president and the majority of the republicans did reject it? What does say?

>Actually, if election is still afar, majority of dems would oppose it. Dems just wanted to act as heroes and Obama would gain from it. It's all about political agenda of both parties. And these so called lawmakers can't set aside politics to save their nation.

Not sure about that. What about the republicans voting against the proposal of their president? What about the risks of doing nothing ?
