House Republicans who received campaign donations from environmental groups helped make up the narrow margin of votes needed to send the Waxman-Markey “cap and trade” bill over to the U.S. Senate.
The legislation passed by a vote of just 219 to 212 on Friday with critical assistance from eight Republicans. They are: Mary Bono Mack (Calif.), Mike Castle (Del.), Mark Kirk (Ill.), Leonard Lance (N.J.), Frank LoBiondo (N.J.), John McHugh (N.Y.), Dave Reichert (Wash.), Chris Smith (N.J.). This support proved critical with 44 Democrats voting against the regulatory scheme.

And now the AARP is threatening senators to vote for Obama health care or else.
where’s a link to see how they all voted?
haven’t seen how my local demhole voted....allegedly, he was leaning “no”
“...We need to let them know in no uncertain terms that if they do not change their votes, they WILL be defeated...”
Who gives a damn if they change their votes so that they won’t be voted out of office. The damage is already done and they HAVE TO BE VOTED OUT OF OFFICE regardless as to whether or not they change their votes.
The message that should be sent to every RINO should be that if you ignore the people who put you into office, YOU WILL BE FIRED!
“Screw me once...shame on you. Screw me twice...shame on me!
But, the selfish and self-centered actions of these eight RINOs has given the RATS all of the cover they needed to laud this as a "bipartisian" bill and in the end, when the economy collapses, they, with the aid of the GSM will put all of the blame on the Republican Party.
I am reminded of immortal words of Hanover Fist;
Burnin’s too good for em, hangin’s too good for em, they should be torn into little bitty pieces and BURIED ALIVE!
These whores sold their votes and need to go!

Lying liberal hate filled fool republican thieves and no good bottom feeding scum sucking monsters.
NJ gave us three of these losers; yet another state I will avoid doing business with.
So many conflicting thoughts, so little space. Thomas Paine gave a great example of futility in matters such as these. The Reconciliation of their office is now impossible and over. Our efforts in such a matter as this will not render to us a proper and just result. They will simply move to another matter of betrayal. The blow must be struck with their immediate removal from the party. At this point we truly have nothing left to lose and when a people are backed into this corner the only fight left is the one for our liberty.
Dear Congressman:
As evidenced by your vote in recent matters of our Nation fail to represent the will of your constituents and they present to yourself the proceeds, monies, and benefits from lobbyist organizations is an act of betrayal to your office. Your immediate resignation is demanded. Some may petition you to change your vote, but they are distracted from the fact of your obvious and wanton betrayal of their own representation. You have violated the public trust placed in your care through the election process. Your lack of public virtue in matters as grave as these reveals the need for your immediate removal from office.
Well; he certainly did his best to destroy my country. Not anything to be proud of.
Those votes were purchased fair and square.
Prostitites.
This who receive illicit money will always perform for personal enrichment.
Your assessment of the situation is 100% correct.
These 8 did not have to vote for this bill; they simply gave aid to the enemy to spare democrat house members from voting giving them cover to regain their seats.
There needs to be a penalty dished out to these 8 for not only voting against the best interest of the Amerian people but for picking the democratic party over their own.
Any Freeper interested in emailing the 8 trators, just Freepmail me. I will easily show you a way to write them and your email will be sure to get to them! And yes, they believe I live in their district. :)
They’re each getting $1K - $2K from the environazis.
Let’s make sure their primary opponents get more from US !
I don't think we can even vote them out. They have that system rigged, too. No wonder they are so afraid of the people and their guns.
