The Republicans listened to their constituents, The American Public, and they also knew it was wrong that stop free trade, but not to look bad in-front of the country because this deal was so important they needed to "blame somebody".
Just my opinion though.
Spot on! The republican party are playing both sides of the coin. They knew if they supported this Gordon Gekko bailout of Teldar "worthless" Paper they would be political toast (if not for the next 30 years already) for eternity. Because the GOP knew the scam...they devised it and put it into action via Shrub 43.
The GOP is totally at fault and trying to blame Pelosi's speech is a pathetic attempt at hedging their bet. Thanks IndpendentConserLibertarian.
