I don't recall Republicans opposing it, but I only listened to the news, I didn't research it in depth. From Smallship1's comment, there must have been 3 Republicans in the House who opposed it. Good for them. I should look up who they were.
Regarding the last paragraph of your entry, I notice that there is a certain recurring theme (expressed here and in certain other posts by other people about Monday's failure of the bailout bill in the House) that Democrats are expected to sacrifice their jobs when they believe the good of the country would be better served by a particular vote. I also think it is appropriate to hold Democrats to a higher standard. I just want to note that it's happening.
