Despite GOP opposition, light bulb standards will phase in on Jan. 1

The "GOPer" who signed it into law didn't object.

“They’re law-abiding companies who aren’t going to break the law.”

Stupid legislation like this is welcomed by organized crime. Who thought that Americans would ever have to buy bootlegged 100-watt light bulbs from Canada and Mexico?

I’m thinking about building a trebuchet and laying siege to Fred Upton’s district. Whos’ wid me?

We were all supposed to be so grateful to the republicans for standing up for us in opposition to the bureaucrats.

This is happening because republicans went along with it.

[Spok]

“textbook unnecessary federal regulation.”

No, it’s a textbook payoff to a corrupt corporation that buys and sells government favor like a two dollar hooker. Think Haliburton then envision GE. Where’s the outrage?

Fred Upton can kiss my arse. May the freshmen and sophomores of the House get together and strip the seniority provisions out of the House rules. Let’s get these intrenched idiots out of the leadership positions. If their districts want to return them to the House, election after election, so be it. But that should not make them any more powerful than a brand new Congresscritter representing their own district.

Light bulb manufacturers had already stopped production -- shutting down several U.S. plants in the process -- and retailers were unlikely to search for inventory given that the bill only applied through September.

Too little, too late.

I dearly wish some Tea Partier would challenge Upton next year. Though the rest of the GOP that voted for this ban should be thrown out, too.

Y'know, if we can't get a stupid 100 watt light bulb ban repealed, what makes anyone think Obamacare will go?

Thank you George Bush.
