John Boehner and the House Republicans are blaming Nancy Pelosi's "partisan speech" for the bailout bill failing, claiming that they had the votes that they needed before she spoke....so are we to understand that the Republicans are willing to plunge the economy into a depression because Nancy stepped on their toes or hurt their feelings? Are they 12 years old?
UPDATE: A Pelosi spokesman shoots back "You don't vote on a speech--you vote on a bill."
I only heard snippets of her speech, and while I wonder why she said the things I did hear, it is pretty immature that they (R's) decided to act so childishly.

Agreed. I'm so glad that the majority of Americans seem to feel the way that we do.
