Pelosi before the bailout vote pinning it all on "Failed Bush economic policies" when in fact the dems fought his efforts to stop the bleeding. This speach killed the passage of the bailout which some think would have helped fix the mess. You know you're a moron when you believe such patently false lies, by which I mean that the GOP didn't vote for the bill because of Pelosi. They didn't vote for the bill because their constituents are 9 to 1 against it, and the GOP is probably going to be clobbered in this election. They didn't vote for it because they are in that races and voting for it would be enough to make them lose.

-Arrian You don't believe that caused the great depression do you? Exports were only 5% of GDP at the time and there were other more obvious causes.
