I find it beyond conceivable that any of you liberals have the nerve to blame Republicans for this failure. The fact is Democrats control Congress. They didn't need ONE Republican vote to pass this and had it passed the President would have signed it into law. 95 DEMOCRATS VOTED NO!!!!! 65 Republicans voted for the measure. CAN YOU EXPLAIN THAT?

As for the allegation that they voted no just because of Pelosi's speech that is apparently not the case. Her speech incensed a lot of people and simply confirmed for them that their no vote was right. As for having the votes I have seen interviews with Boehner (Rep Minority Leader) and Hoyer (Dem Majority Leader) and both said they knew it was going to be a close vote. That clearly contradicts the alleged "we had the votes" statement.

She is an unmitigated idiot to attack the President and his failed policies and his never having gotten one thing right and then turn around and ask the members to vote with a President she just slammed. It is the most ridiculous, stupid thing I have seen. Boehner and Hoyer both gave nice bipartisan speeches before the idiot Pelosi screwed this all up.

You liberals need to take something to allow you to see truth through the fog of partisanship.
