What benifits does this bill have for their home districts. Where on the scale do they sit are they the liberal side of the spectrum. And do they not have to vote on this HR 2454 Cap and Trade bleep bleep bleep again after it first passes the Upper Chamber and then gone thruogh that conferance committee thingie. If true I would hope that their minds can be changed by We the People.

The Heritage Foundation has an excellent resource on the cost of “Cap and Tax”… by congressional district.

Time to start contacting our senators.

in return for selling us out.

What constituted their personal 30 pieces of silver?

Many dems who voted for this ‘pile of s–t’ may survive.

But the “De-Cap-at-8″ will more than likely lose there political careers.

Boehner: Climate bill a ‘pile of s–t’

Further, officials with the House GOP’s campaign arm, the National Republican Congressional Committee, confirm that they will run with paid media over recess in districts of conservative Dems who voted for the bill. The official would not reveal details on the ad buys at this time.

One Democrat was upset that his leaders would needlessly force vulnerable Dems to vote for a bill that will come back to haunt them. Mississippi Rep. Gene Taylor (D) voted against the measure that he says will die in the Senate.

“A lot of people walked the plank on a bill that will never become law,” Taylor told The Hill after the gavel came down.

I also agree with Erick & Ironman’s take. Hopefully they’ll hang with us on Ration Care.

If not, I just hope there are “real” Conservatives in those Districts who can win.

i.e. I was so pleased that Pat Toomey was going to primary Arlen Spector. I think he would have won in 2004 if GWB hadn’t pushed so hard to keep him.

Will enough Senators have the backbone to stand up against this? Will anyone have the fortitude to filibuster it?

While we need to focus now on the Senate, we cannot forget for a second who can be bought and paid for in the House either. At a time when our country is at a crossroads in its economy, these self-serving non-representatives were busy making deals that would look good for their political careers rather than doing what was best for the country. We can never forget that!

Now we shall see who in the Senate has the guts to do their JOB!

Steel needs to go on record that the RNC or any GOP committee/fundraising group will support the Cap 8. Steele needs to do what Crony did for Crist…endorse their GOP opponents. It’s needs to be public and straight to be the point as to WHY.

I’m tired of playing “nice” guy. Either you with us or your against us and those against us will catch hxxl from the base.

Guys it’s time the gloves come off. The stakes are too high to kiss a bundle buttocks. A message must be sent and sent HARD.

Do you not agree?

the bill is a horrible bill that only serves to put in a stealth tax.
ultimately, if credits for the poor are involved, it’ll be another transfer of wealth.

IF the American people learn this, then what conclusion must they draw about Obama?

He voted against this abomination and has been pretty reliable conservative vote. He also worked hard getting his district neighbors (Rooney and Buchannen) elected. If we also start demanding he influence his wife’s vote, that opens up a big Pandora’s box. The fault in Mary Bono Mack’s case are the voters in her district, they didn’t apply enough pressure, or pressure in support because they are a bunch of tree hugging rich California morons. GOP leadership in Palm Springs is to blame here, especially since she has a conservative rating of 79 (unlike the rest of the 8 that average around 30).

Pushing Connie Mack is a bad idea.

So how is the Wordpress app? I assume that is what you are testing.

As if the people of NJ needed more taxes on top of their already burdensome bills. Yet these three don’t think it is enough;

Chris Smith
Leonard Lance
Frank LoBiondo

Shameful. How long will the people of NJ continue to vote for their own demise?

Don’t some of these folks represent crunchy districts, with plenty of eco-focused constituents?

If so, might this vote have been sound tactical politics on their part?

If you know the bill (in its current form) will never make it into law, what’s the harm in casting a vote you can use to mollify your Mother Jones voters back home?

Food for thought…

as angry with them as us?”

Have you gotten that directly from someone in the know? And if so, any plans to actually *do* something about it?

Not trying to be snarky here in any way, shape or form. I have seen so many times when these so-called ‘moderates’ have provided the margin of victory on some piece of horrific legislation but I have yet to see them ‘disciplined’ by the party leadership in *any* form - meaningful *or* inconsequential.

If they’re actually made to ‘pay a price’ for this traitorous action, I can’t begin to even tell you how far that would go toward lowering at least some of the disgust I have right now toward our party leadership (or lack thereof). Something tells me I’m not alone in those feelings.

So, if you’re at liberty to expand…..

I wrote to Congressman Gonzalez (TX-20-D) twice letting him know I was against Cap and Tax but since his nose is tiedto Pelosi’s butt I knew he would vote “Aye”. But just in case you don’t believe energy cost are going up here is part of his response.

As a San Antonian, I understand the importance and value of our local industries. I worked with the Committee to ensure that CPS Energy, our local electricity distribution company, would not only be eligible for a free allocation of credits, but would also be allowed to receive these for their new plant which is expected to come on-line within the next few years. These allocations will be essential in maintaining low rates for customers, especially those struggling financially. Other industries, such as manufacturers and refiners, will also receive allowances that will help them through a finite transition period as we move toward cleaner energy production and usage.

Notice in the last sentence “help them through a finite transition period”, get ready to pay more for less.

Does anyone know if that’s true? I’ve heard it in a few different places. If so, shouldn’t we be keeping the pressure on the Cap 8 to switch their votes?

Seems to be a common denominator with these morons, of course we in flyover country are too busy clinging to our Bibles and guns to notice what they are doing. Right?

’m not up for an NRCC boycott, considering the House GOP is as angry with them as us. But Kirk, Castle, Mack, and Mack’s husband should pay a price.

That being the NRCC shouldn’t back these collaborators for reelection…The NRCC gives them one dime in 2010…I will boycott the NRCC…it’s as simple as that!

The “Big Tent” analogy isn’t the correct one…the correct one is a MAGNET…we need to be a MAGNET that draws these independents in who are sick and tired of what’s going on in Washington—Fred Thompson
