THE AVOIDABLE CRASH: HOW AND WHY THE DEMOCRAT LEADERS IN CONGRESS ARE DRIVING US OVER THE CLIFF

HERE THEY ARE GLOATING ON SUNDAY NIGHT...

THREE PARTISAN SCHMUCKS...


ON THE MOST IMPORTANT BI-PARTISAN LEGISLATION IN A DECADE, THESE JERKS DIDN'T DELIVER.
  • THE JERK ON THE LEFT - PELOSI - DELIVERED A HYPER-PARTISAN TIRADE BEFORE THE VOTE, ALIENATING MANY IN THE GOP, AND SHE FAILED TO GET MANY OF HER OWN COMMITTEE CHAIRMAN TO VOTE YES.
  • AND THE IDIOT ON THE RIGHT - REID, WHOSE TWO SONS ARE HUGELY SUCCESSFUL LOBBYISTS - BLAMED TO NEGOTIATING DELAY OVER THE WEEKEND ON THE GOP'S STANDARD-BEARER.
  • THIS ISN'T AS OUTLANDISH A CHARGE AS IT MIGHT SOUND, AFTER ALL, TO GAIN POPULARITY, THEY WANTED US TO RETREAT/LOSE IN IRAQ.
  • THEY ARE LEFTIST SCUM. AS IS DODD, WHO BLOCKED PROPER OVERSIGHT OF FANNIE MAE IN 2003. AS IS OBAMA - WHO, SINCE HE ARRIVED IN THE SENATE, GOT MORE MONEY FROM FANNIE MAE THAN ANY SENATOR.

Mr. Holtz-Eakin said Mr. McCain had made “dozens of calls” on the bill, some to House Republicans who opposed it.

Aides to Mr. Obama said he had not directly reached out to try to sway any House Democrats who opposed the measure.
THESE FIVE DEMOCRATS ARE TO BLAME: REID, PELOSI, FRANK, DODD AND OBAMA.

VOTE ACCORDINGLY.

*******UPDATE: Glenn:

YEAH, THEY'RE NOT TREATING IT LIKE A CRISIS: "We're on the verge of financial meltdown, but Congress can afford to take a day or two off? I understand that it's a major religious holiday for some members, but this is an 'emergency.'"

PELOSI gave key Democrats a pass on the bailout vote.

UPDATE: Obama Campaign co-chair Jesse Jackson, Jr. voted against the bill. (Via NewsAlert).

MORE EVIDENCE THAT THE DEMOCRAT LEADERSHIP FAILED:
the legislation was in fact a negotiated, bipartisan compromise, the first duty of the majority party is to line up its members to support the majority's bill. But evidence is growing that the Democrats did no such thing.

As of yesterday, the Democrats' House whip, Jim Clyburn said that he hadn't even begun "whipping" Democratic representatives, and wouldn't do so unless and until he got orders from Nancy Pelosi. Today, Democratic Congressman Peter DeFazio told NPR that he never was "whipped" on the bill. So Pelosi evidently left Democrats to vote their consciences--which is to say, vote against the bill if they thought it was politically necessary--while counting on Republicans to put the bill over the top.

AS COMMANDER IN CHIEF BUSH WAS ABLE TO THWART THE LEFT AS FAR AS IRAQ WAS CONCERNED, BUT THE DEMOCRATS HOLD ALL THE CARDS ON DOMESTIC MATTERS.

AND THEY ARE PLAYING THEM THE WAY THEY WANT.

BOTTOM-LINE: The Democrats in Congress want the us economy to fail - just as they wanted our troops to fail in Iraq.

NO QUESTION about that.

This was PLANNED.

Screw 'em.

The American people are pissed off that Congress wants to push this economy even further down the hole.

Let the markets correct. Tighten your belts. We'll make it then. Sure, we may have to adjust our style of living. So be it. I can. Indeed, I've never lived on credit of any kind, never lived beyond what I couldn't pay for with cash on the barrel head.
