In the wake of last week's landmark passage of the House climate bill, conservatives have focused their fury on the handful of Republicans who voted in favor of the sweeping legislation.
The eight Republicans are Mark Kirk of Illinois; Mike Castle of Delaware; Mary Bono Mack of California; Dave Reichert of Washington; John McHugh of New York; and Frank LoBiondo, Leonard Lance and Chris Smith of New Jersey.
Rush Limbaugh on his radio show yesterday accused the eight of voting for the bill sponsored by Democrats Henry Waxman of California and Edward Markey of Massachusetts because of Wall Street's influence and argued that they should be voted out in 2010 along with Democrats who supported the legislation.
"You've got these northeastern Republicans -- New Jersey, New York, Connecticut, it's all the same -- who are tied to Wall Street," Limbaugh said.
He added, "This is an outrage. This is something that everybody who voted for this thing needs to be sent packing because it wasn't even written."

This vote proved he has partaken of the Kool Aid. Smith is now officially a RINO.
Vote all incumbents out. Washington DC needs an enema.
One of those RINO’s is my congressman, Mark Kirk. I’ve known, for about six years, that he’s as liberal as many Democrats. He’s pro-choice, pro-gun control, pro-gay marriage, pro-spending increases, pro-illegal aliens, and anti-Iraq surge. In 2010, he’ll probably run, statewide, and lose the primary.
