He opposed the weaker bill and supported the stronger Senate bill, the one not one Democrat voted for. The Democrats blocked the bill that would have reigned in the reckless loaning and put the necessary controls on F&F and averted the bubble from bursting as it did.

He opposed the bill supported by over 90% of the House Republicans.
And as a result we got NO bill.
The weaker bill that could have made things worse as opposed to the stronger Senate bill that was totally blocked by Democrats.

Not according to the 90% of the House Republicans who voted for it as well as the WH appointed acting head of the agency responsible for overseeing F/F.

Post where the House Republicans stated their bill was the stronger bill. The Republicans in the Senate passed the stronger bill, one that actually would reign in F&F that is the bill the Republican WH supported and not one Democrat supported.

Now you're arguing that more than 90% of the Republicans voted for a bill they thought could make thiungs worse?
I suppose looking at their record that could be an arguably valid proposition.
I haven't argued they didn't vote for their bill. The bill the House Republicans and Democrats came up with didn't go far enough. The Senate bill which the White House supported and not one Democrats supported did.
Too hard for you or something?
