For the record, since we're pointing at political ideologies, 40% of Democrats in the House voted against the bailout. The Democrats, on their own, have the votes to pass it, but almost half rejected the plan.

Further, Republicans have been warning about the meltdown of Fannie-Mae/Freddie-Mac for the last five years, wanting more oversight and regulation, but Democrats saw nothing wrong with the situation because 100% financing to high-risk borrowers is good to them. The facts are in the Congressional Record for the the 2003, 2004 and 2005 debates on Housing Reform.
