said Frank. "I wish I could eat more and not gain weight. ... Please don't throw it out because you're unhappy with some of the provisions."

I'd tell Frank to bite me, but he'd probably jump at the chance.

Get Your Talking Points Here:

* "Vital" Financial Bailout Bill Dies In DEMOCRAT-CONTROLLED House Of Representatives.

* Pelosi And Other Democrat Leaders FAIL To Get Their Own Democrats To Follow Them.

* 40% Of House Democrats Cross The Aisle To Side With House Republicans!

* The only thing that was "Bipartisan" was the OPPOSITION to this bill!!!

Boehnert just made the GOP look like fools.

He blamed the non-passage of the bill on Republican members who were allegedly personally offended by nacy Pelosi's shrill speech.

Barney Frank just clowned Boehnert by saying that he would personally apologize to, and give all kinds of compliments to, any twelve Republicans who would agree to vote for the bill.

Boehnert basically said: "The bill failed not because we still have principled opposition to its provisions, but because some of us are little crybabies."

Boehnert should simply have said taht the bill was a raw deal.

The bailout: brought to you by the same people who (almost) passed the amnesty bill.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but didn’t Bohener vote for the bill today? If so, is this his ‘I didn’t inhale’ moment.

Time to walk the walk not just talk the talk. That’s why this problem occured.

Term limits.

[ari-freedom]

he was more of a fool for voting for it and that probably is the reason why *he* couldn’t say it was a bad deal.

said Frank. "I wish I could eat more and not gain weight. ...

Its called a salad you fat pig! Stop eating Caviar by the gallon! IT AINT YOUR MONEY!

Pelosi & house majority leaders counting votes prior to bailout's defeat.

[Red Steel]

You are most likely correct. Boehner supported the bill after the changes but I think his first thoughts about this bill are still right that it’s crap.

[Enterprise]

Democrats wanted us to eat a crap sandwich, but without the bread.

“John Boehner:It’s a Crap Sandwich”

It’s sad that Boehner is not only eating the “crap sandwich”, but he is using his power to force others to eat it also. He needs to be voted out.

People have been demanding the republicans stop taking the democrats’s abuse and distortions on this and today they did. Pelosi comes off looking like an a-hole for putting politics first and foremost and backing the Republicans into a corner. If they had done the deal and bent over for Pelosi what would you have said then?

Look, people decided that the Republicans needed to be taught a lesson so they handed Nancy and company the keys to the House. The Republicans fought off a number of attempts to pork the bill and hand money over to ACORN. With the failure of the bill's passage the stock market tanks again and need I remind you of how many average Americans own stocks? Need I remind you of the panic that ensues when people think their bank is failing, they are losing their savings, homes, etc? They have to do something while working as the minority party.

[Logical me]

What really killed the bill was the voters. House members were afraid for their political life. Keep up the good work Americans.

[counterpunch]

Boner is an impotent leader.
The majority of Republicans followed Mike Pence.
It is time for Boner to step aside as Minority Leader, and Mike Pence to take his place.

[Homer1]

Boehner is a moron. He basically just killed his party’s chances and probabthe Bill’s chances with that statement.

[fortheDeclaration]

Where are all the hysterical Freepers who were blasting the GOP for supporting this Bill, acting like it was a 'done deal'?

The House GOP has AGAIN stood up and been counted, so I hope that the attacks on the GOP will finally stop as being the 'go along Party'.

It was they who stopped the Amnesty Bill and now killed this monster as well.

[fantom]

Boehnert ? made the GOP look like fools ? Ha. First of all it is impossible to make them look more foolish than they are . He saw a chance to crush stretch face and he did it. Spin it any way you like , 40% of the dems voted it down . You forgot to mention that in your moan session. Bush is speaking now ! I rest my case...
