Congratulations, House Republicans.

You've rejected the economic bailout plan your own party initially presented and your president and lead officials supported, and one that, bafflingly enough, your presidential candidate (falsely) claims he shaped. Well more than fifty percent of the necessary votes from the democratic house representatives were in the bag, well more than enough to pass the bill if you kept up your end of the bargain, and you didn't. The stock market is in freefall, the economic crisis will go on for the foreseeable future, and we could go into the worst economic lull since the Great Depression. And you're blaming it on democrats, you whining, buck-passing, irresponsible twats.

You've sealed your defeat.

And as an added bonus, we're not letting anybody forget that the fucker was GOING to be passed before McCain bombed in and crapped out at the eleventh hour.

Also? Republicans voted against it in a 2 to 1 margin because, and I shit thee not, their feelings were hurt my Speaker Pelosi's speech, which placed the blame on the Bush Administration's economic policies. Where it should be.
