The Democratic Party which has promoted class warfare while gorging themselves with political contributions from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac has sunk to a new low.
After ignoring warnings from Treasury Secretary Summers in 1999 and Allen Greenspan in 2005 as well as John McCain's reform bill in 2005, the Democrats proposed a bailout bill, which they refused to pass without 80-100 Republican votes in the U.S. House.
The crass act of allowing members up for re-election to vote "no" shows that getting re-elected is their primary concern, not the good of the country. As Harry Truman said, if you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen.
