The sad thing is that had these RINO traitors stuck with their former party, the Cap and Trade would still have passed, but vulnerable RATS would have had to vote for it and increase their vulnerability.

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.

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.
