'U.S. Rep. John Sullivan said Thursday a buzz of conflicting information about a $700 billion financial bailout bill prompted him to switch sides several times earlier this week during the roll call before finally voting no.

"It was almost like an auction,'' said the Oklahoma Republican, who announced he will vote for the amended version passed by the Senate.

When the House roll call began Monday, Sullivan initially voted no on the controversial proposal, switched to yes and then, before the gavel came down, switched back to no.

"It is important to remember this is all happening very quickly,'' he said.

"Spending $700 billion is a very important decision, something I don't take very lightly.''

Sullivan noted the bill did not go through the normal committee process.' MORE

So he voted on a bill he did not even read!  He depended on hearsay to make his vote!  What a complete and utter joke of representation!

And this is interesting, KJRH has almost the exact same story, dang near verbatim.  Wonder who copied whom?

All he did was vote against it before he voted for it before he voted against it again.  

Today he decide to vote for it again.  

Confused?   I know he must be.

Heads I am for it, tails I am agin it.

Heads. OK best two out of three.

Heads again?

OK best...three out of five.

Heads again?

OK best...four out of seven.

Damn. I lost the quarter. I guess I will vote no.

he stated the reason he voted for it was because of the the increase for FDIC....but really it was the AMT exemption.

So he was against it for which reason? And that was before he was being against it again?  He has no reasoning that serves Tulsans and the First District.  In the final analysis he voted 'No' with grandpaps Inhofe.
