~Republican supporters of the bailout try to blame Pelosi for the defeat~
Republicans said Pelosi may have lost votes with a floor speech they considered too partisan. "We could have gotten it if it were not for this partisan speech that Speaker Pelosi gave," Boehner said. Added Rep. Chris Shays, a Connecticut Republican who also voted for the bill: "Nancy blew it." "That is an absurd accusation at a time when our country is in deep economic distress," a Pelosi spokesman fired back. "You don't vote on a speech, you vote on a bill." http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0908/14050.html ~~~NOW WATCH Barney Frank ridicule those pathetic Republicans: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KLPki41U-lE
