Absolutely.
The article even says as much:
"...the eight Republican votes proved critical to letting Pelosi hand out as many free passes as she could to members who thought that it would be too difficult to selling the bill in their districts."
All these GOP cowards did was help the rats in the next general election.
The selfish punks could care less if the GOP regains the majority.
You nailed that — braindead is 100% correct!
That is what burns me up — Dems who would have had voting YES hung around their necks. As far as I am concerned those 8 are traitors.
Sorry, ...meant all the bad ones.
These GOP sellouts must be run (campaign wise) into the ground....
No doubt, those Republicans allowed 8 Dems to vote No. I received an Independence Day email from Mary Bono. I replied with my own email telling her that her vote had Sonny rolling over in his grave and that my wife and I would NEVER vote for her again and hoped that the Republicans ran a good candidate against her in the primary.
Which will be followed by: Republicans Loose Voter Support Over Climate Bill. Seems like the Republicans in the Congress want to be fewer in number.
The Republicans that voted for that POS are toast!
Hopefully so. I sure wouldn't give these RINOs a free pass.
Unfortunately I live in a solid leftist Dem district - and I don't even get the chance to flush a RINO ...
With GOP Reps like this what good would it do for the GOP to regain the majority. When they had the majority they acted just like the big government, big spending, liberal Democrats. Being GOP means nothing. The liberal Marxists from both parties must be defeated. It should be easier for conservatives to defeat the liberal Republicans than the liberal Democrats. That should be their first goal.
“With GOP Reps like this what good would it do for the GOP to regain the majority?”
IMO the gop is hopelessly corrupt. It fills the position of an opposition party, but does not effectively oppose. It is time not for a third party, but for the death of the gop and a new second party.
It's likely that those 8 GOP got PAID, not played.
"RINO's for sale".
There is absolutely NO question that if the 8 RINO’s had voted NO that Pelosi would have still had the votes to pass the thing, even if by a single vote.
Above is an example of pure undiluted bulls#it. The democrats knew exactly what they were getting from those losers.
From other posts I've read on this site, its pretty apparent that most here don't contribute to things like the RNC, RSC, RCC, etc. When they call my house they don't even get a polite no, they hear a dial tone. If they can't discipline the scum bags in their ranks, not one dime.
My 'Rat Congresscritter, Lincoln Davis, was one of the 44 who voted against it. I was surprised because this guy is a dim bulb at best and usually goes along with whatever Pelousy tells him to do. His district is smack dab in the middle of TVA coal country. So, maybe he answers to someone besides Pelousy, but it certainly is not his constituents. I have yet to figure out why the voters of the 4th District of Tennessee keep sending him back. He claims to be a "Bluedog", but his votes show otherwise. He voted in the affirmative for TARP and Porkulous. Maybe that will be enough to send him home come November of 2010.
Politicians and diapers need to be changed often and for the same reason. Flush Congress in 2010!
During the 1960s, Everett McKinley Dirksen of liberal IL similarly time and time again provided crucial votes to pass failed Great Society measures.
People in south LA really like Melancons, for there are so many of them.
Yes. Well, we won’t forget those 8 idiots, either.
