BAILOUT: Yes or No?

[Koga No Goshi]

FYI Gentlemen: Working in Saudi my TV news source is BBC World News. I really like them, but last night while I was watching the vote, the anchor blamed Republicans for the failure. She didn't even mention that 40% of the Dems voted no. Not once.

I wonder if this is because Bush has given all Republicans a bad name or if BBC World News wants a Democrat president for the USA.

The vote was:

Dems Reps
Yes 140 65
No 95 133


Rep no votes nearly equalled the Dem yes votes, even though they're the minority party.

So how does it constitute a foreign conspiracy to influence our Presidential outcome by saying the Reps were primarily responsible for stopping the bill? They were. People are getting hypersensitive and tossing around the term blame. You guys should be proud the Reps stopped it, the bill in its current form is crap.
