As for whether the cause is in error, I think you're begging the question there.
As for whether those in favor of the bailout plan were vocal about their desire, I can only say that if they weren't they have only themselves to blame.

it did not take much "backbone" to vote no, to do nothing is much easier than doing something. the vote that won today was to do nothing.
again, are they doing a good job of representing their constituents if their votes prove to be on the wrong side of the issue?
no, not at all.
