A lot of people are scratching their heads over what would cause House Speaker Nancy Pelosi to deliver such a bitterly partisan speech minutes before the House voted down the Paulson Plan - a plan she purported to support.
I think it's likely that Speaker Pelosi deliberately delivered her highly partisan speech at the last minute to get precisely the result that she got - the defeat of the Paulson Plan. The danger now is that she and the liberal Democrats in the House will spend the next couple days re-loading the bill with all the leftwing pork projects that Senator McCain and the House Republicans were able to remove from it.
This danger makes it imperative that Republicans unify behind Minority Leader John Boehner in resisting moving any rescue plan to the left. The stakes are too high for the American people to allow liberal Democrats to use the current crisis to line the coffers of their special interest allies.

Well then that reflects really poorly on the House Republicans who fell for it hook, line, and sinker, wouldn't you say?
Thirty years of GOP deregulation, corruption, greed, capped off by the worst President in US history, and this guy is warning us about the Democrats???

Go back to 1999. Clinton deregulated the banking industry.
i honestly don't think that pelosi wanted the bill to die or she would not have reintroduced it so quickly. i have no idea what her agenda is, but she wants this bill to pass.
The longer it takes to resolve this crisis, the longer the economy is the focus of what's left of the campaign, and the better for Obama. It would be in the best interests of McCain and his supporters to get this thing done, so that the campaign focus can shift back to pigs with lipstick, lurking terrorists, and the liberal media conspiracy.
