House Passes UAW Bailout, 237-170
Man, weren’t the Republicans paying attention during the last two elections? The reasons they’re elected is to be fiscal conservatives, watchdogs for the taxpayer. Apparently, the following Congressmen weren’t listening. This from Michelle Malkin:
Act I of Kabuki Auto Bailout Theater is over. The House tonight passed the UAW bailout bill 237-170, with 1 voting present and 26 not voting.
Here are the Republicans in the House who voted yes — 32 pro-bailout, anti-free market Republicans. Remember them:

The good news is that apparently there are some Senators with spines who are willing to stand up to this blatant socialistic bailout of the UAW. Here is an interview with Senator Jim DeMint on why we shouldn’t bail out the Big 3.
