No more compromise! The Republicans who helped the Democrats pass THE LARGEST TAX INCREASE IN AMERICAN HISTORY are worse than the most left-wing of Democrats. They hide by pretending to be conservative, but in reality, they're nothing but uber-left progressives!
Show no mercy! Taxpayers have been screwed once again!
The 8 cap-and-tax Republicans…and the 44 Democrats who voted no:
- Bono Mack (CA) (202) 225-5330
- Castle (DE) (202) 225-4165
- Kirk (IL) (202) 225-4385
- Lance (NJ) (202) 225-5361
- LoBiondo (NJ) (202) 225-6572
- McHugh (NY) (202) 225-4611
- Reichert (WA) (202) 225-7761
- Smith (NJ) (202) 225-3765
Reminder: The two Republicans who didn’t vote: Jeff Flake (AZ) and John Sullivan (OK).
Here’s why: Flake had a “family conflict” (his daughter is reportedly in a beauty pageant in Alabama tomorrow) and Sullivan is undergoing alcohol treatment. As I noted earlier today, Dem. Rep. Patrick Kennedy was pulled out of rehab to cast his vote.
Through a series of parliamentary inquiries, the Republicans learned that the 300-plus page managers' amendment, added to the bill last night in the House Rules Committee, has not even been been integrated with the official copy of the 1,090-page bill at the House Clerk's desk, let alone in any other location.
Global Warming is apparently so urgent that we can't even wait until members of Congress know what they're voting on.
The Waxman-Markey Monstrosity From Hell That Will Destroy the American Economy passed the House by a vote of 219-212 last night while I was attending the inaugural Smittypalooza.
If only four votes had gone the other way, the monstrosity would have been defeated by a 216-215 vote. Therefore, it is entirely appropriate that Michelle Malkin has named the eight Republicans who voted for it. And I've got four words for the National Republican Congressional Committee:

Fund their opponents!
The only thing Politicians understand is $$$.
Personally, I think every Republican who voted for TARP should be added to the list of 8.
