If you're going to try and make a point Mookie then tell the whole story instead of cherry picking:
October 1, 2008 TARP Tally
House of Representatives -
Controlled by Democrats:
Ayes: 173 Democrats, 91 Republicans = 264 Ayes
Nays: 63 Democrats, 108 Republicans = 171 Nays
435 Total Votes
October 1, 2008 TARP tally
Senate -
Controlled by Democrats:
Ayes 38 Democrats 35 Republicans 1 Independent = 74 Ayes
Nays 10 Democrats 15 Republicans 1 Independent = 25 Nays
Not Voting 1
In both houses of Congress more Republicans voted against TARP than voted for it by wide margins.
In both houses of Congress more Democrats voted for TARP than voted against it, again by wide margins.
