I know. But regardless, did the majority of Republicans vote against or for? I just don't remember. Look it up for me, sweetie. I gotta go to the gym.

"President Bush, Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson and the leadership of both parties pushed for a $700 billion financial bailout plan intended to shore up the nation's lenders. Such consensus is rare these days in American politics, but the bill still failed in the House on Monday afternoon.

The House of Representatives defeated the plan by a 228-205 vote. A majority of Democrats -- 140 -- supported the bill and 95 voted against it. Most Republicans -- 165 -- opposed the plan, while 65 supported it.

New York's Democratic Rep. Charles Rangel, who voted for the bill, said, "The people that have been responsible for the reckless lack of regulation of the industry have come to us at the 11^th hour with a gun to our heads.""
