WHOCUDANODEIT? - Republican party was secretly opposing bailout bill BEFORE Pelosi spoke


We now find out that the Republican party cut ads, and sent them to TV stations around the country, opposing the bailout bill even BEFORE Pelosi spoke before the vote yesterday. The Republican National Committee, the official "party," was planning on the bill passing, and then was going to attack Democrats who voted FOR the bill. Talk about calloused. So in fact, the Republican party was playing games, playing politics, with our economy. Did the RNC tell individual members of Congress that they were going to be running ads attacking anyone who voted for the bill? Is this why Republican members voted against the bill 2 to 1 (while Dems voted for the bill almost 2 to 1), sending Wall Street into a nose dive? And what about John McCain? What does it say about him when his own party is secretly undercutting the proposal that he claimed to "save the day" on?

Thanks to Politco and Americablog

1. We said this ages ago
We knew this was planned. You see Bush, Cheney Boehner and Blunt and common sense tells you to smell Rove. I hope KO and Rachel show the ads.
