Passes 219-212, 8 Repuiblicans for it could have killed it. 3 not voting.

I doubt it, but they could have forced 8 Rats who were allowed to vote “no” to vote “yay.” Just stupid on the part of these RINOs.
I am ashamed of our elected leaders. This was a bad bill no matter which way you look at it. I hope and pray that the so-called ‘republicans’ who voted for this garbage are all thrown out of office in the next election. They must pay for what they’ve done.
It sounds like LoBiondo is from a pretty conservative district. I think he can kiss his ass goodbye.
Sorry Eagle6. Please realize that all this socialistic crap is being shoved down the neck of every person in congress, and all of our citizens. The purpose is to intimidate, and confuse, (Chicago Politic). Keep people off their toes. Keep people confused. Congressman Forbes’ amendment was an attempt to slow Washington, D.C. He slowed it for 15 minutes. If you will excuse the F*(< out of me, the Amendment was to replace the 1,200 page bill H.R.2454 with Congressman Forbes’ amendment.
Eagle6, keep yer eye open. Your eyes, and senses are keen. I excuse the f*** out of you.

I don’t give anything to the GOP. A couple of days ago, I had the pleasure of telling McCain’s campaign folks that I wouldn’t give him a penny because he’s a candy-assed, pantywaisted democrat running on the GOP’s dime.
HOWEVER, it IS worth remembering that the Republicans won’t get the credit - or the blame - for this bill. And if it passes the Senate, it won’t be the GOP that does it.
If it passes, it will help destroy the economy - not that Barry needs a lot of help on that end. And eventually, voters who can’t fit their fat butts into Barrymobiles, and who pay $600/month for air conditioning here in AZ-8 (Giffords is a reliable Rat vote) - eventually, this WILL come back to haunt them. We just need to survive the repeat of 1979 first...!
Then it's time for some states to secede.
The 21st century Stamp Act passes.
What were they promised???
I pray those in the senate will have some common sense. Those 8 republicans probably visited Pelosi’s office for free ice cream.
What about the 3 that didn’t vote!

RIP America, you fought a long hard fight, you’ll be missed.
That'd be a first. The American people just don't care.
What the heck???????????????? He won’t be reelected. There are too few conservatives in WA and to finally get one in Congress and have him turn on this most important bill is outrageous!

Something I don’t quite get..........is Mary Bono-Mack separated from her husband, Congressman Connie Mack? The reason I ask is that I thought congressmen were supposed to live in their respective districts.
The 8 traitors have absolutely no excuse for voting for this disaster. Boehner spent over an hour highlighting all the garbage that was found just in the 300 page amendment. How you can vote for this bill after listening to all of the junk thrown in at the last minute is beyond comprehension.
When this bill brings economic disaster, which it absolutely will, they need to be held just as accountable as all the ‘rats.

TEXAS! MY HOME AND HEART—TEXAS!!!
Sen. Inhofe (R-OK) just said,”The House will pass ANYTHING. This bill will NOT pass the Senate. They won’t get more than 34 votes. You can thank our Founding Fathers for the caps and balances they wrote into our Constitution.”
I just sent my Blue Dog Dim, who voted Yay, a letter. Believe me, I wanted to say much more.
Congressman Boyd,
Your vote today for Cap and Trade proves that you have forgotten that you work for the citizens of District II. An honorable elected official would have voted the way his constituents wanted.
We have found not one person who wanted this bill passed. It is our belief that many called, as we did, and asked you to vote against this very destructive bill but your allegience is not with us. It isn’t with the Bay County small businesses. It isn’t with the hard working young families. It isn’t with the retired people. It isn’t with the struggling farmers in this district.
You have made activists of us. We intend to contribute to whomever runs against you. We will go door to door and ask others to vote against you. We will stand on street corners with signs that proclaim that you don’t work for us and should not be re-elected.
We will speak up at church, at civic club meetings, in casual conversations in the grocery store, the doctor’s office, at football games, everywhere we happen to be.
Our friends and family will be encouraged to do likewise.
We are willing to go the extra mile for our country. It is a shame that you are not.
Sincerely,
