Here's the list of the 228 Congressmen that voted "No" on the bailout bill HR 3997 yesterday (the list including the YES votes can be found here). The "No" list could also be titled "Congressional Suck List" because whatever partisan squabblers voted against this have no idea what's going on and is another indelible example of why this congress has an approval rating of 10%. Kudos are also not in order for John McCain who, so maverick-ly suspended his campaign to pass this bill, failed to rally his party enough to pass this bill. Maybe if you'd been in Hanoi for longer, you'd have more respect among your own party, or something. Thanks for coming out, John. Better luck with political posturing next time, I guess.
One can be certain that this was a case of political egos getting put before the best interest of their constituents, because Sen. Minority Leader John Boehner cited House Speaker Pelosi's partisan speech as a reason the vote was killed. With that language, Boehner is saying that the no votes were out of spite, and not some fundamental disagreement with the bill. What a scrotum. Oddly, Boehner voted for the bill to pass, yet failed to express disappoint when it did no pass. Way to cover all angles, Johnny. Have fun waiting for a spine and/or balls donor, because it's obvious you have neither.
Thanks to Boehner and other iconoclasts of logic, we've successfully told the rest of the world that America is finished being the economic leaders of the world.
So here's the list. Republicans are in italics, Democrats in standard Roman font, and Independents are underlined.
NAY 228
