“[On] Monday, I cast a blue-collar vote for the American people. Today,

I am going to cast a red-white-and-blue-collar vote with my hand over

my heart for this country, because things are really bad and we don’t have

any choice. We’re out of choices, and our backs are up against the wall.”

– Rep. Zack Wamp (R-Tenn.), Friday, after switching his vote

from no to yes on the economic-rescue plan
