Barf alert. No so much because some lib wrote it but because it shows how bad off the GOP is. The GOP gets played at every turn.

They weren't the only ones that were surprised...

My husband and I made phone calls for 3 hours that morning, --- heard the phones were crazy against the Bill, and yet....they never read the Bill (again) or listened to us.

We weren't surprised, we were shocked that Republicans would act that way... Vote 'em all out!!!

Traitors and idiots all of them. A collective IQ of negative eight.

A pox on them all.

How come we never hear about the 44 Dems that voted NO.

Still believe if those 8 turncoats had voted NO, Queen Pelosi would have found eight votes from the 44.

Sorry for the idiots but they won’t have the same success in the Senate...

Screw the stupid 8. They will get theirs soon enough.

you know it was a bad bill when even Kucinich votes against it. Meanwhile Al Gore is grinning ear to ear counting his money on this snake-oil scam.

If the vote was 219-212, that means 6 more democrats could have abstained from the vote, or three more could have voted no.

It is not nor was it ever intended to be a climate bill. It is the newest way democrats have devised for taxing the nation into servitude to the federal oligarchy the democrats run and the feckless Republicans serve. In a bygone era, these criminal bastards would be lined up against a wall and sent to their father in Hell, or carted to the blade for lopping.

The only reason idiots like Kucinich voted no was because the bill didn’t go far enough for his purposes. That’s why you don’t hear Stretch whining about all the D’s that voted no. She knew they had enough RINO’s to pass it.

Forgetting the fact that we could have respected not only the 8 but the whole house GOP for having its act together in trying to stop THE LARGEST TAX INCREASE IN US HISTORY unified in their resolve. But these 8 handed re-election to 8 dems somewhere else as well.

That’s what infuriates me is the fact hat 8 Dems got to vote NO and we would have had them on record as voting yes.

Far as I am concerned all 8 need to go in the primary or least get a real scare.

Yeah but the Dems would have totally owned the bill.
Just goes to show you how brain-dead some Republicans are.

As a consolation prize , the GOP has won unprecedented scorn from its constituency in 2010.

Correct.

As it is, Congress Melancon (D-La) gets to pretend that he was against the bill.

He will probably run against Senator Vitter (R-La) in the next election.

Look for the D’s to try to take another R Senator out through foul means.
