The 'Bail Out' that all the jackasses blame Bush for was voted in the following way.
Remember one thing about a jackass- they will never ever admit that they are to blame.
No !! It's always their opponent. In this case Bush and the REPS.
Well you ignorant little pukes- remember the following.

TARP isn't actually legislation, it's a program that was enacted by Public Law 110-343, or H.R. 1424.

In the House, H.R. 1424 passed with the following breakdown of votes:
Democratic 172 Yea; 63 Nay
Republican 91 Yea; 108 Nay
Total - 263 Yea; 171 Nay

In the Senate, H.R. 1424 passed with the following breakdown of votes:
Democratic 41 Yea; 10 Nay
Republican 33 Yea; 15 Nay
Total - 74 Yea; 25 Nay (Sen. Kennedy was in the hospital and did not vote.

Once this measure was passed, the TARP funds were allocated no matter how anyone voted on the stimulus package (which isn't the same piece of legislation).

Anyway, all of this information can be retrieved at http://www.house.gov/ and http://www.senate.gov/ along with the results and breakdown including names and parties of every roll call vote that they participate in. It's public info, and it's not hard to find.
Source(s):
http://clerk.house.gov/cgi-bin/vote.asp?year=2008&rollnumber=681
http://www.senate.gov/legislative/LIS/roll_call_lists/roll_call_vote_cfm.cfm?congress=110&session=2&vote=00213

So how can it be Bushes fault???
Can't wait to see the 'answers'.

serious people conducting serious business.
i think someone should have to write up a review if they're going to rate a thread.
roger ebert doesnt get to say "waaah i don't like this. 1 star!".
