You Voted 'No' Why?

Some things just really get me angry. I was really shocked today when I watched the vote go down today in the House. I'm not sure what I really think of the bill. I'm not convinced it was the "best" thing, so trust me, I'm not angry the bill didn't pass.

What has gotten me all in a tizzy is some of Republican response that they voted because of Pelosi's speech just prior. Was the speech partisan? YES Was it really the appropriate place and time? NO Should we rise above kindergarten behavior in making decisions that will impact our country for decades? YES!!!!!! This is why I HATE politics. Let's grow up and stand up for what we believe in. If you wanted to vote for it, then vote for it! Don't let petty stuff change your mind or provide you a cover for your vote. I lost a lot of respect for the house leaders and the Republican party today.

I'm still haunted by Bono's quote. Since we aren't gonna' bail out Wall Street, could we feed the children now?
