The Democrats don't need ANY Republican votes to pass the bill. They can do it on their own and didn't. Pull your head out of your ass.
Quote from BSAM:
Let me make this even more simple for you. If 13 more Republicans would have voted for the bill, would it have passed?
A. Yes
B. No
Please relax, take a nap, reread my posts on this matter, then place your vote (A or B above).

Now, if 13 more Republicans would have voted for the bill, would it have passed???
A. Yes
B. No
The analysis indicated that the some Republicans got mad at Pelosi and that is why the bill failed.
So, I am merely asking, which is more important in the minds of the Republicans?--- The rescue of the country or being mad at Pelosi???

Getting mad at someone is sometimes enough to reaffirm your convictions. Many of these repubs were going against their convictions and voting for this shit. Pelosi pissed them off which solidified the base against the bailout.
If you want this type of garbage go live in France. IMO, we need another few sessions to let more banks collapse - the weak hands need to be shaken out.
