Raul Grijalva still votes 'no' ...

From Representative Grijalva's website:
“I did not feel that H.R. 1424 was the appropriate vehicle. It did not do enough to safeguard taxpayers, no strong oversight, too much latitude for the Secretary of the Treasury, and an unresolved re-payment of the $700 billion.

“I sincerely hope that the action taken by Congress today does in fact, stabilize the economy. The last thing I want to do is say, ‘I told you so’.
Really Congress could have done a decent job and chose not to. Grijalva's vote is the right one. The ones who refused to do their jobs but voted yes to another abomination are the ones who should be fired. Makes for most of the Congress doesn't it. Good job, NOT.

Gabrielle Giffords, of course, followed the hoard, like with FISA and voted for an abomination, which she is fully aware is an abomination. Wall Street certainly can't complain that Congress isn't compliant. Here's some of Giffords' weasel words:
Today, I joined a strong bipartisan majority of my congressional colleagues in voting for the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act. This legislation is far from perfect, but the economic crisis confronting our nation demands congressional action.

ADDED: The legislation passed without even half of the Thugs and still the Dems could not produce an acceptable bill to vote on. The Dems took ownership of the problem but just accepted the BushCo solution. Dunces.
