Pelosi Demands GOP Votes For “Bailout”

The Greatest Ripoff in American History is not getting any Republican supporters. Virtually none, anywhere, even after a 1 1/2 hour speech from Cheney to GOP leaders on the Hill. Bush won’t come out in public and urge the GOP members to vote for it either. Reid says without McCain’s vote, the Democrats in the Senate will not vote for it either. Bush and the GOP are trying to get the Democratic majority in Congress to “own’ the bailout deal, lock, stock and barrel, while Bush, Paulson and cronies get 100% of the power with no oversight. I predict there’ll be no deal even on Friday. This is a game of chicken, Bush has a nothing-to-lose attitude and is being as reckless as possible on the brink, hoping the sober Democrats will grab the wheel first.
