John Kerry Democrat Memory Syndrome Afflicts Five More Democrats

It's an epidemic. Five Democratic House members running for re-election are claiming to have voted against the Trouble Assets Relief Program, even though they weren't even in office when the vote was taken. This is reminiscent of John Kerry's recollection of a secret mission to Cambodia, ordered by Richard Nixon, on Christmas Day, 1968. It was "seared, SEARED" into his memory. There area  lot of problems with this story. One problem. Richard Nixon wasn't president on Christmas Day 1968.
According to their reelection campaign ads, Democratic Reps. Kathy Dahlkemper, Frank Kratovil, Dina Titus, Mary Jo Kilroy, and Glenn Nye all voted against the Wall Street bailout. Which is fascinating, since, as FactCheck.org pointed out a few weeks ago, none of them were in office when the bailout was passed.
The bailout, otherwise known as the Trouble Asset Relief Program (TARP), was passed as part of the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008, which President Bush signed into law on October 3, 2008. Dahlkemper, Kratovil, Titus, Kilroy, and Nye didn’t take office until January of 2009.
