The ever incompetent Nancy Pelosi probably killed the bill with her stupid and laughably false remarks prior to the vote:
"Opponents said part of the reason for the opposition from Republicans was what they termed a partisan speech by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, said one GOP source.
"Pelosi's partisan speech has caused our members to go berserk and may cost us any remaining chance to pass the bill," the source said.
Pelosi had said that Congress needed to pass the bill, even though it was an outgrowth of the "failed economic policies" of the last eight years."
Brilliant. This idiot couldn't even corral enough Democrats to pass a bill that didn't need ONE Republican vote to pass as ninety-four members of her party voted against it.
UPDATE: Video added of Pelosi's speech
How the hell does she walk with those big Brass Balls clanging around? It was unbridled capitalism? No, it was regulations that forced lenders to make crappy loans to begin with. It "snuck up on us"? What rock have you been living under?
Hell, I was talking about this potential problem to my students as far back as 2003. Are you saying I have better information than you do? OK. Bad example since it seems no useful information enters Nancy's brick thick head.
