CNN reports GOP cries and hides in the corner
September 29th, 2008 by Sonny
The GOP leadership says their members couldn’t vote for the bailout because Nancy Pelosi hurt their widdle feelings. If only she had been nice to them, then they would have voted for the good of the country. I had no idea they were so sensitive.
House Republicans are blaming a speech Nancy Pelosi gave this morning for defeat of the bill, claiming that her “partisan tone” drove many GOP members to vote against it. That is really dumb. If House Republicans decided how to vote on this bailout based on a speech Nancy Pelosi gave — rather than their views on the merits — that is as potent an indictment of those GOP members as anyone else could make. What seemed to happen is that enough members were afraid of the extreme public anger against this bailout bill and petrified of what it would do to their future job security. That’s a good thing — it’s called responsiveness and accountability.
