A few did, most did not. Most voted on principal, on the fact that it was just a bad bill (which it was), and/or to save their asses from their constituents' wrath. Your assessment of those that did is exactly on target (I'd go even farther and call them damn near criminally negligent of their duty to their constituents), but in this debate (as in all of them), there is plenty of pettiness on both sides of the aisle. It's neither productive nor intelligent to so broadly categorize an entire group of people with either positive or negative personal traits based on political affiliation. It smacks of blind prejudice.

Just one example of why the bill was bad: it gave oversight of how the Secretary of the Treasury used that $700 billion to a newly formed Board of Review. Sitting on that board? The Secretary of the Treasury.
