Somehow I find it hard to stomach being called unpatriotic for representing their constituency. A constituency who by Biden's estimation lacks patriotism because they don't want to pay more taxes. In fact if every fiber of my being was against the bill and 8 to 1 calls and e-mails in my office said it was not what my constituency wanted it wouldn't have taken that much. But let's get back to the real meat here. Pelosi couldn't deliver 12 votes from her California Democrats (17 voted nay). Franks had enough no votes from Democrats on his committee to swing the vote and he couldn't deliver them. The best they could do as the party in power is to blame the party that was dead set against it it in the first place. Originally the Caucus of Republicans had 4 ayes. After McCain's effort it was 61 votes higher. How many votes did Obama phone in? The Democrats just blew it, and I too am glad they did. Sure the markets will drop. Mortgage loans will be hard to get - that is you will have to actually have a job, a down payment and a good credit rating to get one. College loans will tighten up, or put another way students may have to work, study for scholarships, or maybe god forbid do a hitch in the service and get some veterans benefits. Small businesses will have to actually have a good business plan rather than a great power point presentation. No I don't think you can blame the Republicans for sticking with their ideology and their constituency. They were lucky to get the ayes they managed. I just think the Democrats have forgotten how to behave like the party in power and thought they'd be safe hiding behind Pelosi's skirts. By the way she has really big ears, did you notice?
