#1 I am happy that the bailout bill failed.
I do not agree with the contrarian viewpoint expressed in the article - that if the dems think everything is ok then everything is NOT ok.

However, the "look at what they do, not what they say" point is a good one. So I looked at the dems who voted no and their positions. I was motivated to do this by an audio clip I heard from Carl Rove.

Look at this list:

Filner D CA legislator No chairman veterans affairs
Sanchez D CA legislator No friend of Nancy Pelosi
Sanchez D CA legislator No friend of Nancy Pelosi
Woolsey D CA legislator No friend of Nancy Pelosi
Stark D CA legislator No number 2 on Ways and Means
Jackson D IL legislator No Co-Chair Obama?
Costello D IL legislator No senior democrat
Conyers D MI legislator No committee chairman judiciary
Peterson D MN legislator No chairman agriculture
Clay D MO legislator No senior democrat
Thompson D MS legislator No homeland security
DeFazio D OR legislator No senior democrat
Herseth D SD legislator No friend of Nancy Pelosi
Green D TX legislator No ethics commission?
Jackson-Lee D TX legislator No friend of Nancy Pelosi
Ortiz D TX legislator No senior democrat

#2 Add Delahunt, Tierney and Lynch from Massachusett to the list, and the whole thing takes on a vile odor.

#3 From NRO this morning David Brooks in the New Yuk Times is blaming the House Republicans for the bill's defeat. THE HOUSE REPUBLICANS, for heaven's sake! Hasn't this fool noticed who has been in control of Congress for the last two years?

The Dems have no one but themselves to blame for this. Screw them and the donkey they rode in on. Meanwhile, I'm glad the bailout was voted down. That means the dollar will continue to be worth slightly more than an equivalent-sized sheet of Charmin bathroom tissue.
