Facing re-election in five weeks. You know that you should vote for the bill to help salvage the mortgage mess because Congress is complicit in it’s creation and it’s what’s best for the American people. You’ve been getting e-mail that is 20-1 against the bill. You are going to bite the bullet and attempt to explain to your constituents that you did what was right for the nation.
You are in the chamber in a cold sweat because you may very well be committing political suicide when the Speaker of the House and one of the proponents of the bill gets to the podium and says very dramatically. “Seven Hundred Billion Dollars,” she makes point after point against the bill and calls for your vote. She just re-affirmed you constituents concerns over the bill and now she wants your vote.
What do you do?
We know what 95 Democrats and 133 Republicans did. They voted, “No,” and the rest is history.
Leaving off the Partisan claims and Pelosi’s calls for bi-partisan co-operation after she made blatantly partisan remarks, step back and view her floor exercise from the perspective that she was trying to get House members to vote against public opinion and ask if any rational person could believe that her comments made it easier for any Congressman to vote “Aye.”
Truly stupefying.

Yes, I can imagine that, especially if I'm of the Democrat, liberal and leftist breed.
Very high salary.
Paid vacations, such as the recent recess that the Democrats took. Five weeks paid by the taxpayers.
Junkets hither and yon.
Access to some of the best medical facilities in the country.
Great retirement plans.
Pockets stuffed by lobbyists.
No accountability.
No responsibility.
Little, if any, integrity.
Disconnected to constituents.
Party, not country, first.
Blame America for the world's ills.
Etc.
CKAinRedStateUSA,
Thanks for commenting. I spent atleast an hour and a half at the "Huffington Post," trying to counter some of the Partisan spin that's come out of all of this. It all stinks. Some one's got fix the governments mess and we are the underwriters of this mess.
