The vote is in: 263-171. (Monday it was 228 to 205.) Unbelievable! A change of heart? A bleeding heart? Several alleged conservatives have betrayed the cause of liberty and freedom. They turned to vote not for a $700 Billion but an $800 Billion plus Billionaire Bonanza Bailout Bill. Central banks, the Fed, and the politicians just don’t get it. As Kevin Depew of Minyanville puts it in response to the travesty that just past,
[T]here is only one thing necessary to understanding what is happening and it is this: no one at U.S. Banks, no one at the Federal Reserve and no one in politics can accept the reality that real estate assets in this country remain oversupplied, overpriced and overleveraged.
It is that simple.
To see if your representative voted for the bill, visit the House Roll Call Vote. Want to know who made Karl Marx smile today? Want to know who stands with Chairman Mao, Joseph Stalin, Vladimir Lenin, and FDR? Here are just a few in their new color, sickle hammer yellow, not to be confused, of course, with Republican Red.
NEWLY MINTED RINO IN FIRST PLACE – Zach Wamp
Today, Rep. Zach Wamp (R-TN) attempted to ameliorate the impending voter wrath at his next election. He said and I quote from the International Herald Tribune:
“Nobody in East Tennessee hates the fact more than me that I am going to vote ‘yes’ today after voting ‘no’ on Monday,” Representative Zach Wamp, a Republican, said in a speech on the House floor.
“Monday I cast a blue-collar vote for the American people,” he said. ” Today I am going to cast a red, white and blue-collar vote with my hand over my heart for this country, because things are really bad and we don’t have any choice. We’re out of choices and our backs are up against the wall.”
Folks, the only color on the vote Zach cast is RED, COMMUNIST SICKLE HAMMER RED. Good job Zach, you must be so proud. Better start spinning your vote now Zach because it’s gonna be a tough election next time around.
For you Tennesseans out there, what else did you expect from a man who publicly kneeled in front of Richard Simmons? Zach came out of the closet to fulfill his position as new hostest of the RINO Club. Here’s the evidence:
I can’t help but ask, but why Rep. Wamp, WHY do you put your hand on this man’s leg?
Now for the Dishonorable Republican runners up who gave up and opted for regulation. They, too, are newly minted RINOs who used the Constitution like toilet paper and cast their oaths askant. Shocking conduct indeed!
