Breaking: House rejects Trillion-Dollar-Plus Crap Sandwich on first vote; arm-twisting underway

The votes have been tallied.

228 NAY.

205 YEA.

The Crap Sandwich goes down in flames.

Still no official announcement on the House floor. Lots of yelling for “order.”

Someone has changed his/her vote.

It’s now 227 NAY, 206 YEA, 1 Not Voting.

1:59pm Eastern. The allotted 15 minutes for voting is over, but there is still no official announcement. Arm-twisting is underway, but only one changed vote so far.

Such a colorful way of putting it…..’crap sandwich’.  Fits perfectly, IMHO.

Final tally is actually 228 NAY, 205 YEAH, 1 Not Voting.

Just a caller on C-Span whining and crying it’s all the “stupid Republicans fault”!  Another is saying it’s “Bush’s fault for going into Iraq”.

    Looks like it’s Pelosi’s fault.

    @Pastor John:

    Watching her and Frank flapping their butt cheeks now, yapping on the news. It’s still a crock! NO ONE wanted this bill. Voting for it would have done more damage.

    Just called my local bank and asked if there was a problem in giving me a home or car loan.

    The answer was a solid “NO PROBLEM”!

    There is no credit problem on most of mainstreet, I am sorry about Wallstreet;but, it would seem that some congresscritters listened to their voters!

    I pray they will continue to listen!
