Democrats in Charge?
Hold the freaking phone here!!! The Democrats are saying the Republicans are holding up the bailout?!? But there is no Republican filibuster in the senate and the Democrats can pass it on the house side with out Republicans. Explain just HOW the Republicans are holding up W's idea with the Democrat seal of approval? 03-confused

Here's a conservative who says it's the House Republicans who are holding up the deal. So even if you despise the main stream media (who are saying the same thing), you can at least concede it's the Republicans holding up the deal right now.

But this writer is not really blaming the democrats for not wanting to pass the bill until everyone is on board. Instead, he's just praising the Republicans for fighting on. Face it, it's political suicide to cast your lot with Bush unless it's a unanimous decision.

WTF? How about because they're the ones that caused it? The Democrats own the Community Reinvestment Act, which allowed people who were NOT qualified to get loans, and most lived paycheck to paycheck. Then, gas prices go up almost 4 fold, and everything else goes up. So, the people living paycheck to paycheck default on their mortgages because every OTHER expense has gone up. What's the Democrat's plan to solve the oil crisis? Um, let's not drill, oh, HELL no. They've stopped us every damn time. No more nuke plants, no more refineries, no coal plants. Oh, but we can put up GDamn WIND farms. Yeah, I'm sure that'll help my Tahoe.

If that doesn't satisfy you, then how about because those morons have been in charge of Congress for ALMOST TWO YEARS?

They want to make sure that there are a majority of house republicans, senate republicans, house democrats, and senate democrats in each catagory that agree so that one group can't come back and say "We fought against that, and knew it was a good idea" in case it's not a good idea. It's a CYA thing. The other 3 groups have a majority, the house republicans are not. I am actually agree with them. This thing has been a problem for months, and now we have to rush to get a solution?
