Narrow House Vote Approves Massive Energy Tax Increase for “Global Warming”
Flopping Aces ^ | 06-26-09 | Mike's America

Posted on 06/26/2009 8:34:25 PM PDT by Starman417

Vote was 219 For 219 Against (Roll Call). 8 Republicans voted For and 2 Did not vote. Enough to have made the difference.

Republicans who voted For:

If you are a constituent of any of the above, you may wish to express your displeasure at their voting for a bill that will do nothing to prevent climate change but will saddle American's with thousands more in tax increases and job losses. Contact links for each member are available on their web page linked above.

Not Voting were:

Constitutents of Jeff Flake may wish to inquire why he was not able to vote today. Cong. Sullivan was on one month's leave for treatment of an alcohol addiction. It's interesting to note that Cong. Patrick Kennedy (D-MA) was taken out of alcohol rehab for the purposes of voting. Dems apparently felt passing this bill was more important, or perhaps more doable, than sobering up a Kennedy.

My e to Sonnys ex:

Bye Bye Mary!

I shall vote against you from now on.

In fact I shall help anyone in the primaries and general elections to defeat you, even If ,for the first time in my life- I aid a Democrat.

All you did today was to hand foreign goods made in non Cap and Trade nations more competitive.

You will go down in history as one that helped gut the middle class.

With our hig electrical costs here in the desert any election opponent , will make swift work of you in the next elections.

Yes, blame the entire Republican party for a bill created by and passed with a overwhelming Democrat majority. Smart, I see your point??? What we need is more Democrats in office. Hummmm, I guess I do see the extremist part.

Obviously, Mary Bono of California is a brainwashed global warming/climate change freak/cultist? This has been without a doubt the coldest summer in my 25 years of living in Sacramento California!

Those who voted for the Waxman-Markey bill are guilty of Wacky Marksmanship.

They are willing to bleed America to death as they blindly take pot shots at a non-existent problem.

I am serious about the idea of starting our own party. Its time for us to leave the GOP. It is part of the problem.

I’m from Arizona and am VERY Disappointed that Jeff Flake did not vote...hope he had a pretty darn good reason for missing.

He didn't. He was in Alabama at his daughters beauty pageant. I'm in Shadeggs district but I think Flake needs to be primaried and ousted next year.

That any Republicans voted for this massive energy tax shows that our party is without leadership. If this monster reaches Obama’s desk it will be the start of turning the USA into East Germany.
