GOP defectors face conservative wrath @ 11:18 am by Eric Zimmermann

Meet the eight Republicans who will now incur the wrath of every conservative blog on the internet:

Rep. Mary Bono Mack (R-Calif.) Rep. Mike Castle (R-Del.) Rep. John McHugh (R-N.Y.) Rep. Frank LoBiondo Rep. Leonard Lance (R-N.J.) Rep. Mark Kirk (R-Ill.) Rep. Dave Reichert (R-Wash.) Rep. Chris Smith (R-N.J.)

These are the Republicans who voted for Waxman-Markey last night, and without whose support the bill would have been defeated. (44 Democrats voted against it.)

Conservative bloggers are already up in arms. Michelle Malkin has put up a "WANTED" poster with pictures of the eight "turncoats."

RedState has labeled them "Quisling Republicans," referencing the Norwegian traitor during World War II. He was later executed.

At least two of the Republican defectors–Kirk and Castle–are considering Senate campaigns in 2010.

These 8 defectors need to understand in no uncertain terms that the vote they cast yesterday means the end of their political careers.

A push should start with all sending them a page from the want add section, jobs openings, of a news paper.

Rep. Mary Bono Mack (R-Calif.)

Remember the new rule, everyone...

She is now "Miss Mary Mack". She gave up the right to use the "Bono" name yesterday, with the vote against freedom that her husband never would have made.

These 8 dildoes had the opportunity to show the country that America is STILL a two party country. Unfortunately, they joined with the Obamacoms to show that America is now a two-bit banana republic run by a dictator. That 95% who Obama told were going to see their taxes decrease are about to get their wake up call. Obama is a liar.

Enough is enough. Dave Reichert (R-Wash.), my representative will NEVER get another vote from me. I don't care what candidate the Dems put up against him.

Reichert never ranked high on the conservative voting list, sometimes siding with the Democrats. He won the Nov election against Darcy Burner by the skin of his teeth. If Republicans don't forget this vote, this should ebd his career in politics. We hope.

One of those RINO’s is my congressman, Mark Kirk. He’s pro-choice, pro-gun control, pro-gay marriage, pro-illegal alien, pro-spending increases, and anti-Iraq surge. I emailed him, four times, and I asked why he’s a Republican. I didn’t receive a response, so I emailed four of his aides and asked why he’s a Republican. None of them responded.

I'm going to take a drive from my District up into Kirk's and help to get his worthless ass defeated in the Primary next time around.

Keep in mind, these are the same ones that will vote for AMNESTY. Even though, The republican platform says “We do not believe in amnesty”

They aren’t republicans. They’re little trojan horses.
