Republicans Screwed Their Constituents?

John Kerry just said that the republicans who voted against the bill today were showing cowardice and screwed their constiutents. I haven't seen any data but i'm pretty sure most people didn't want the bill to pass because they didn't think these issues on Wall Street would affect them. They emailed and called their respective congressmen and those congressmen voted. So how is it cowardice to vote the way your constituents want you to? I mean maybe cowardice to not say "I know better than they do" but then you just look like a pompous ass hole who doesn't care about what your constituents think.

Side question: why the fuck can't people fucking get along when the entire economy is at stake? It's like being on the play ground in fucking elementary school again playing the blame game, only everyone is wearing a suit!!! We pay these people a lot of money out of our taxes to handle these issues and they just want to talk about who's at fault. ugg!!!
