John Shadegg, AZ Repub. Congressman, said NO Repubs. changed their vote due to Pelosi's speech

[jenmito]

He was on MSNBC this morning, after Joe Scarborough and others (including Rudy "9/11" Giuliani) had been blaming Pelosi's floor speech right before the vote for the Repubs. changing their votes to "nay," saying it's false that ANY Repub. changed their vote because of Pelosi's speech.

All morning long, Repubs. have been blaming Pelosi for not "delivering" more DEM. votes AND for "causing" some Repubs. to change their votes due to her speech before the vote. They also blamed Obama, of course, for not being able to find more Dems. to vote for the bill. (They say he should've been able to get more votes from the Congressional Black Caucus.) :eyes: Even after repeatedly being told that there was a DEAL that the Dems. would deliver half of THEIR caucus (which they did) and the Repubs. would deliver half of THEIRS (which they didn't), Repubs. continue blaming Dems. Are they just stupid or are they just trying to make the Dems. look as guilty for the failure as the Repubs. and McCain (who bragged about the bill passing before it failed?)
