Bailout Vote

You are likely never to see a roll call vote like this again. It is almost a complete split without a clear party line.

Unfortunately, 9 Reps would rather see our financial system fail then do what is right for the country.

It's not just those financial institutions, you idiots, it's also the many, many small businesses around our state that will suffer if you don't do this bailout. Wake Up!

The Michigan Delegation roll call vote (six yes, nine no).

Ayes

Dave Camp (R-04)
John Dingell (D-15)
Vern Ehlers (R-03)
Dale Kildee (D-05)
Sander Levin (D-12)
Fred Upton (R-06)
Nays

John Conyers (D-14)
Peter Hoekstra (R-02)
Carolyn Cheeks-Kilpatrick (D-13)
Joe Knollenberg (R-09)
Thaddeus McCotter (R-11)
Candace Miller (R-10)
Mike Rogers (R-08)
Bart Stupak (D-01)
Tim Walberg (R-07)
What ever happened to US Reps that did what was right? Like this guy!

When calling someone a "moran" it is usually best to spell it right or else you lose some credibility. ;O)

Those Nay voters better come up with something good if they aren't going to vote Yay for what was on the table. I saw an interview tonight with 2 IL reps who voted Nay and they would not address the question, "What will happen to the economy without the bill?" They have no clue. They keep talking like the government is giving away the $700 billion. Ridiculous.

That's what we in the biz call a typo.

They have no answer because their answer is "let the free market decide" or "the industry will regulate itself".

Their entire philosophy failed.
