Let's not forget something important. Who were the only people in Washington to resist the Paulson emergency bailout?
Conservative House Republicans.
They were attacked for it by Pelosi, among others, and sold out by McCain. Democrats passed the bailout. They whined and moaned for five years that they had been misled about Iraq, then they immediately took everything Paulson told them at face value and voted an enormous bailout with no controls or strings attached.
