Vulnerable House Democrats Will Pay a Price for Voting for Climate Bill
PJ Media ^ | 8/12/2022 | Rick Moran

There are five Democratic House members who won their seats in 2020 despite Donald Trump carrying their districts. Those five are number one on the GOP target list, and the upcoming vote on the so-called Inflation Reduction Act will almost certainly mean their doom in November.

The fact that inflation is going to keep rising, despite a bill that’s being sold as a way to reduce it, will be very difficult to defend when the election rolls around. And for these five condemned politicians, asking them what they want for their last meal is probably not out of line.

Thirty years ago, I would have offered them a cigarette.

Rep. Tom O’Halleranm (D-Ariz.), Rep. Cindy Axne (D-Iowa), Rep. Jared Golden (D-Maine), Rep. Matt Cartwright (D-Pa.), and Rep. Marcy Kaptur (D-Ohio) were all contacted by Fox News Digital to determine if they’re going to vote with their party. No response was forthcoming from the five doomed politicians.

Cartright and the other vulnerable Democrats probably figure they’re toast anyway, so why not vote with their party?

Each of the five narrowly won their races in 2020, and with Congressional Democrats and President Biden hemorrhaging popularity with the American people, many are wondering if this vote on the bill could be the final nail in the coffin for any hopes these five have in keeping their seats.

I’ve heard that sometimes, quid pro quo arrangements are made, to give such politicans a good paying job of some sort, if they follow the party line and lose an election. Stay tuned.

Heck Liz Cheney may well have her post politics csreer already lined up. These five may command a high price as their votes are vital to passage.

Yeah former legislators become lobbyists.
It’s a well defined and good paying career path.

And when the “November Miracle” happens and all five are re-elected, what happens then?

But only if the GOP gets going and educates the public.

The biggest problem is that most of the sheeple are unaware that they've been bent over by these SOBs, but you can't blame their ignorance because the media has been covering for Biden and his socialist buddies for years. It's only when they get their tax bill that it will become abundantly clear, or when their local IRS Gestapo storms their house in an audit.

So many fools have no idea how close humans and many other species came to extinction in the last great Ice Age, when CO2 dropped to 180 parts per million. Plants need 150 or more to survive.

Now they're whining about 400. It would have to double to 800 to raise temps another degree C.

And yet again, the American people will close the barn door after the horses have already gotten out.

We will pay a price as well.

A very “steep price” as our money disappears into a green black hole.

The GOP would do far better to call it the "Democrat IRS Assault Bill" and pound away on the 80,000 new agents and the IRS ad seeking applicants who are willing to use deadly force against their fellow Americans.

This is so simple and so obvious that it will almost certainly never be done.

NO they won’t. They will be richly rewarded via insider trades and no show positions on corporate boards. These people are going to make fortunes.
