The democrats who vote against this bill will pay

If this doesn't pass they won't have time to make them pay. Pelosi & Co. will be so busy trying to save Oshama's agenda they won't have time to take retribution.

Plus the Dems voting no are probably the only ones who will survive in '10.

I contacted my congressman John Spratt’s people and told them that man caused global warming is a nefarious hoax contrived to increase socialist control of a free people.I asked him to keep this fact in mind when he votes.

Spratt ain't the worse but he has a lot of seniority and wants Pelosi’s job—so natch he blows the far left moonbats with gusto now.

Our district is a gerrymandered minority majority one so as a conservative my opinion is a whiz in the wind—but I tried.

I like this Latham guy. Some of these Congresscritters need visual aids to figure this out.

The head of the Steel Worker’s Union supports it but what about the workers?

Ping to the live thread. Betty Sutton (D-Ohio) just spoke in support of the bill. Guess that takes care of her “undecided” stance.

She said she wants to “unleash America’s entrepreneurial spirit.” I guess “unleash” is synonymous with “stifle” in Sutton-ese.

That’s irrelevant. The rank-and-file union member’s job is the Three ‘S’es. Sit Down, Shut Up, and Shell Out.

I’m getting sick of this. They keep saying jobs will be created by this farce. I would just love to know what jobs they’re actually referring to.

I'm guessing unpowered treadmills set at the foot of windmills and when the wind doesn't blow, unemployed workers will get temporary jobs jogging on them to generate electricity.

Rush has now said that Dems are 12 votes short.

They have 17 that are undecided. Rush says those are not good odds for passage.

Keep up the pressure.

This bill is a disaster. Everyone who votes for this piece of garbage should impeached immediately.

According to Rush's source(s) the Rats are maybe about 12 votes short. Will Congress jump off the cliff?
