GOP Leaders Support The Crap Sandwich of $700 Billion Financial Rescue

How many rank and file Republicans will support the “crap sandwich” financial bailout plan tomorrow as the House reconvenes?

In a closed-door session with House Republicans Sunday evening, Minority Leader John A. Boehner called the $700 billion financial rescue deal a “crap sandwich” — then said he plans to vote for it.

House Republicans are the key to the bill’s passage Monday – Speaker Nancy Pelosi said Sunday that it’s a “bipartisan” bill and will need “bipartisanship” to pass – and it now appears that many will cast their votes in favor of it.

But many Republicans still harbor deep misgivings about the legislation, and the outcome remains uncertain. Asked Sunday night where the support stood for the legislation, Boehner told reporters, “We don’t know.”

Alabama Rep. Spencer Bachus, the ranking Republican on the Financial Services Committee who was publicly removed from the negotiations on this bill, told a gathering of conservative lawmakers Sunday night that he would oppose the bill, according to some present. In emotional remarks to the group, Bachus said he’d told Boehner, and Boehner had said he was disappointed. Bachus, who supported Boehner in his bid for leader, joked that he might not be ranking on Financial Services next year.

Indiana Rep. Mike Pence — the first member of either party to publicly oppose the initial Treasury proposal — lobbied leaders to start over again from scratch.

Probably not enough GOP members to block this horrible legislation. But, enough to divide the caucus and cascade McCain to a loss in November.

If it is a “crap sandwich” why don’t you vote NO and start over again?
