And LOL at the bill's title:

BILL TITLE: To amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to provide earnings assistance and tax relief to members of the uniformed services, volunteer firefighters, and Peace Corps volunteers, and for other purposes

[Crookshanks]

I just love how Pelosi is blaming this failure on the republicans - when 95 democrats voted against it! She can't keep her own troops in line, so she blames the other side. What a joke she is!

[Wild Cobra]

Wow...

Surprisingly, my democrat representative voted NO. There's hope yet for Oregon.

No * 1st district: David Wu (D)
Yes * 2nd district: Greg Walden (R)
No * 3rd district: Earl Blumenauer (D) my representative
No * 4th district: Peter DeFazio (D)
Yes * 5th district: Darlene Hooley (D)

And LOL at the bill's title:

BILL TITLE: To amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to provide earnings assistance and tax relief to members of the uniformed services, volunteer firefighters, and Peace Corps volunteers, and for other purposes
228 Representatives have a "So-and-so voted against firefighters" tv ad in their future.

[101A]

My boy Shuster proudly in the Nay column!

[Spurminator]

My Republican rep voted "Yay"

[Spurminator]

And LOL at the bill's title:

BILL TITLE: To amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to provide earnings assistance and tax relief to members of the uniformed services, volunteer firefighters, and Peace Corps volunteers, and for other purposes

Unbelievable.

[Wild Cobra]

228 Representatives have a "So-and-so voted against firefighters" tv ad in their future.
That's because the democrats in controll of congress are so stupid, they attached oit to that bill!

This bill originated 10/30/07. It's last action was 12/20/07 untill this bailout was attached 9/29/08!

Funny how this original bill passed the house, and senate, back to the house, and the house failed to do any farther action to benifit our figher fighters and military. They didn't want to pass it on to the president then, what makes anyone think they really wanted it to pass now anyway?

[RandomGuy]

Doggett voted no.

Not a surprise, given that he is fairly leftish.

[DarkReign]

I wrote both my Senators and my Congresswomen.

Obviously, the Senate hasnt voted.

My bitch said "No" and if shes stays with that, she has my vote in her re-election....I dont give a shit if she dances naked in the streets (ugly as she is), if she continues to vote "nay", she has my vote.

10th District - Congresswoman Miller "NO"

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Mine voted nea, and I also got back an email from a staff member today about it. They are with Hensarling, also a Texas HOR:


“My top responsibility as an elected official is to protect the families and people who trusted me to represent their interests in Washington. I do not take lightly the critical nature of the credit crisis that our capital markets face today and the grave situation that every American will face should our credit markets freeze and remain frozen. Inaction has never been an option, but the Paulson plan should have never been the only option.

“In my heart and in my mind, I believe that this plan is fraught with unintended consequences, would force generations of taxpayers to pick up the tab for Wall Street losses, and could permanently and fundamentally change the role of government in the American free enterprise system. Once the government socializes losses, it will soon socialize profits. If we lose our ability to fail, we will soon lose our ability to succeed. If we bail out risky behavior, we will soon see even riskier behavior.

“I also believe that this Congress, in a rushed effort to provide stability to a troubled credit market, did not adequately discuss or investigate potential alternatives that would have constituted a work out and not a bail out. Even at this moment, it still remains more important for Congress to do it right than to do it fast. I stand ready, as do many of my colleagues, to stay here for as many days as it takes to do this right.

“For the last week, House conservatives have fought to protect innocent taxpayers from an unprecedented government raid on their wallets to bail out Wall Street from their bad decisions and financial losses. Principled Republicans like Paul Ryan and Eric Cantor helped improve the legislation before us by adding increased taxpayer protections and additional Wall Street accountability. But mere improvement is not the test for support. The test is whether, after weighing both the good and the bad, you believe that the plan ultimately leads America in the right direction. Using that test, I cannot in good conscience support this legislation.”
