Republicans who voted for Waxman-Markey climate bill

By: Matthew Sheffield

The House just passed the sweeping carbon tax bill commonly known as Waxman-Markey by the thinnest of margins, 219-212. Right-leaning groups felt very strongly about the measure and pulled out all sorts of stops to get Republicans in line against it.

Those efforts, and those of the House GOP leadership, worked for the most part except for 8 Republicans, most of whom are likely to face significant pressure from the base for their vote. They are as follows:

Mary Bono Mack (Calif.), Mike Castle, Mark Steven Kirk (Ill.), Leonard Lance (NJ), Frank LoBiondo (NJ), John McHugh (NY), Dave Reichert (Washington), Chris Smith (NJ).

Treasonous traitors. Giving away America to the liberal elite, destroying the middle class one bill at a time. It's a sad day in America folks.

I am incensed at these turncoat Republicans who just handed the American people a huge increase in energy costs for a bill which will do nothing to impact the so-called climate change - a totally unproven science. Everyone who voted for this should be thrown out of office. You are absolutely despicable and corrupt.

Kevin, I know and appreciate your euphoria today, I wish I could be there when the s#*t hits the fan as a result of this bill. When your taxes go up your food bills go up your energy bills go up your job disappears and you realize the shame of global warming was the reason for this damaging bill. It's not your fault I blame the lying politicians that have blinded you from the truth. You may not know it now but you are my brother. It just will take a little longer for you to see the light. But you will. By the way I just found out that John McHugh (NY)was recently promoted to President Husseins Military Cabinet. I wonder what it took to buy the others vote. The truth will come out.

I will personally be contacting each of these Republicans' offices to let them know that even though I won't be able to vote against them when they come up for re-election (being from another state) they can be assured that I will be making a donation to whomever runs against them in the primary! Out with them!

Here is the link to the article from the Washington Post on John McHugh http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/06/02/AR2009060203381.html He was appointed Secretary of the Army. I didn't make this up. I wish I did.

These traitors voted as they did because they realize that they will suffer no political harm. I am originally from New Jersey. My relatives, without exception, are brain-dead 'Catholic' democrats. Their only ambitions are limited to getting a job in local government, or the postal service, and winning a basketball or football pool. It is not unusual for their kids to be on drugs, or welfare. Higher education is unknown. Worse, the New England states are populated with such stooges. So, I am not surprised that 'Republican' congressman have evaluated their constituents. Also, do not hope for any punishment from the house Republicans.

If the 8 had voted NO, the bill would not have been passed. But then again, by their voting YES it allowed 9 Democrats to vote NO. Now they all get to go back to their states and face their constituents. Some may not like what they hear. Some should start to look for other employment, like lobbyist.

Why did the Reps vote on another bill they have not read? To be an American Rep, they should read the bill, discuss, then make an intellegent decision. They that voted for without reading it should be run out of town. They do not have America at heart.

It still has to get passed the Senate and probably another committee or two before it even gets to the President. It is highly unlikely it will be signed "as is" by the time it gets to the white house.

"Those 8 Republicans are brave patriots working on behalf of similar thinking constituents. They are to be honored for not buckling under to party nonsense" Yeah, tell us that after you get the bill, bud! This legislation will give big gov a permanent hand in our wallets! When are people going to wake up? Obama told us exactly what he was going to do, is doing it, and no one seems willing to wake up except a few who care to actually do some research. By the time the majority figures out that he is purposefully trying to collapse capitalism to put in place his socialistic, one-world, global affirmative action initiative against the evil capitalist oppressors it will be too late.

Arizona Republican congressman Jeff Flake did not show up to vote. He is in Alabama because his teenage daughter is in a beauty pageant scheduled for Saturday night. I hope he goes house-hunting while he's there is Alabama, because he obviously needs a new zip code.

I am happy that reason and foresight prevailed against greed and shortsightedness. Sticking your head in the sand, as Bush and Co. has shown us, is bad public policy. Republicans like Reichert understand that Americans want green jobs and energy independence, not more of the same. Change has come!

We should not just focus on the republicans who voted for this bill. We should focus on getting all of them out of office. Once again,, they did not read the bill or the 300-page amendment that Waxman added at the last minute. Personally, I believe that this is Nancy Pelosi's response to the American people who want an investigation into her accusation that the CIA always lies and to the conflicts of interest built into this bill, including Pelosi and her husband. She will be recorded in history as one of the most reviled politicians of all time, just as this would be the largest tax in history.

 

Will Brown

Jun 27, 2009

This bill pure and simple was suicidal! Climate change caused by human beings is not supported by sound science. The irony here is that this country will simply have to import more oil from unfriendly foreign countries while at the same time destroying our domestic oil and gas industry. This will cause increased unemployment and drag the country further down. Ideology trumps fact to our ultimate detriment.

Not only the republicans who voted for this bill but also the democrats should be thrown out of office in 2010 as well. This is a travesty and all who vote for such legislation are absolutely unpatriotic. The obama administration will stop at nothing less than taking all your money. Can I please have an allowance. Get used to that word allowance. Your grandchildren are about to live under a tyrannical government that takes it all an gives back only what it feels you need. How many times have you played golf in the last six months. obama has played 11 times. That's over 70 hours of recreation time on your dime. Because of his economy I can't afford to take any time for golf or any other type of recreation. What about you? Are you happy with him screwing up the economy?

Global Warming is a Hoax

Jun 27, 2009

While many of us in the Midwest are beginning to enjoy the first warm weather in months, Congress and their minions in the press are busy setting up the next level of the "paradigm shift" and continue to win the battle in the "bloodless revolution" they have waged on our nation. So many American's are uninformed and too busy working to support their families. I asked several people yesterday if they knew what Cap and Trade was. No one knew it had anything to do with Environmental Protection. There is one thing the keeps me optimistic and another that satisfies my soul: God is ultimately in control and HE judges the hearts of men.

Revive the CSA

Jun 27, 2009

It is time for the rights of the people to be upheld. We didn't like it in 1776 & 1861, so let's do it again. I propose the new border of the Constitutional States of America should start at the Potomac, run NW above Ohio, include the Dakotas and then run generally south down the Rockies. We may go ahead & expand down to the Panama Canal while we're at it (they all speak English there...why not?) and sweep in a few Caribbean island, too (all of Hispanola & Cuba). We would have all the key agricultural areas as well as wealth concentration, manufacturing. Put up a BIG fence on the North and keep the Socialists out. Then we can focus on rebuilding our constiutional republic.

FOLLOW THE MONEY TRAIL OF THESE 8 REPRESENTATIVES, these bums more than likely have financial interest in the fakery called the GREEN MOVEMENT. New Jersey is always second in producing political bums but last night they were the first with 3 of eight being from NJ. SEA GULLS produce a real green 'movement', hopefully on the heads of these three come election time.

China with the help of our politicians and the elite is the manufacturing center, and they don't care what you think! Now we are so in debt to them, they will say jump, and Obama will say how high!

For the last ten years the earth has been cooling. At the same time carbon emissions have been increasing in output. I'm sure that was an inconvenient truth when the house voted on another 1500 page bill that they once again they failed to read. The bill included money for freddie, and fannie mae, as well as new green mortgages, money for acorn, and new building codes. But on the bright side it is supposed to extend unemployment benefits for the 2 million jobs that will be lost. I could go on and on, but I think you get my point it's time for term limits.

Chad, this bill also has: take our tax dollars, give them to foreign countries to help them plant a tree, or to not cut down a tree...insanity! Also they are going to ration elec., mentioned in the bill, was light bulbs, hot tubs, want us to buy all new appliances....I don't think Russia has even done this!

Do the Republicans have a spine? If they expect our support they need to immediately remove the Traitor 8 from their committees and leadership positions because they obviously lack the ability to lead. All of our donations to the GOP should also be contingent on no funding or support going to the Traitor 8. We have the power and we need to use it!

This 1500 page bill was rightly described as the longest suicide note in history. Vote these traitors out. When the price of electricity and gas go up, Obama will go after the oil companies and nationalise them like his soulmate did in Latin America. Once he goes after our guns, we are a subjegated people.

Obama strikes again. "...Keep your enemies closer!" First it was Hillary and Bill, now it is John McHugh. Anybody that can cause trouble for obama suddenly ends up with a nice new job. Chicago politics at its finest. Wonder if Congress has to bow and kiss his hand yet.

It's this simple, how many read the bill before voting on it? There lies the problem, so-called "politicians" voting on things of which they have no clue. They are NOT our "leaders" they are supposed to be our representatives. Those that are doing just that, need to go.

I invite all of you to contact the home offices of these 8 republican congressman next week and let each of them know that they should start looking for a new job now. Additionally, I would ivite all of you to find out which congressman will be facing relection in 2010 and support the opposition candidates anyway you can, i.e. political contributions, phone calls, etc.

I really look forward to choosing between feeding my family and keeping them warm and having lights for them to do their homework! Looking forward to bankruptcy, no way I can pay such exorbitant bills. This country is quickly being destroyed and most people aren't even aware what is going on, they will blame the electric companies and the gas companies for the increase costs, they will never believe these are costs imposed on us by a unruly government who is no longer for the people by the people. Its time to start recall petitions and term limitations. We need to take our country back!

They mean to cut the living heart out of this nation. "Who is in charge of the clattering train? The axles creak and couplings strain, And the pace is hot, and the points are near, And sleep has deadened the driver's ear; And the signals flash through the night in vain, For Death is in charge of the clattering train." quoted by Winston Churchill in "The Gathering Storm"

I just feel like giving up the stupidity of the average American makes me sick. The liberals have them intoxicated on the kool aid. I watched it live on c-span and i couldn't believe them republican votes towards the end that other wise would have made the bill not pass. I feel like no matter what we do we are out numbered by liberals and ignorance neither have common sense. When the liberals buy every vote through voting for things like amnesty and welfare of course all the ignorance is going to vote for them. Republicans are not even Republican anymore. (Posers) I guess the only gratitude in politics I can get is saying told you so. As I watch our country fall apart and that is not very gratifying at all. hear hear for David Copperfield aka Obama the usa destroyer. Next coming trick: hyper inflation but it is Bushes fault not Bushes and Obamas fault and certainly not Clintons They don't work for the same elitest oh wait they are all cfr members hmmm..............Research

We could have defeated this bill if all Republicans voted against the bill. Any politician who voted for this bill is corrupt and needs to be voted out of office.

From existing successful businesses to the friends of Abama like Mr. Global Warming All Gore

I can't believe there are so many people that have drank the kool aid regarding Global Warming. Come on people, it's based on Junk Science. We increase our cost on anything that has an off/on switch and drive the few jobs we have left overseas. Al Gore has to be laughing his ass off. The only people gainign from Cap and Crap is GE and some other Obama supporters. They will make BILLIONS off trading Energy Credits

Awesome! All you dumb republicans only care about money and the status quo. Its because of your dumb leaders and backwards thinking that put us in this global crisis. Bravo to the 8 republicans who didnt buckle to their party and voted for this bill, which will push companies to be more efficient and reduce their carbon impact. GLobal Warming is real folks, get with the program you ignorant fools.

 

Jun 28, 2009

These 8 republicans should be held accountable for their reprehensible vote and the GOP leadership in the House had better make sure they tow the party line. We don't need anymore RHINO's in our party. Hope all 8 are defeated.

The main problem with this bill is the unintended consequences. It will make it even more difficult for domestic industry to compete with overseas "lack of regulation" countries, likely costing jobs while increasing worldwide pollution since jobs will shift to greater polluters.

I pity brain dead Dems who think with their emotions instead of what little brains they have left.

I agree with Fed Up, we need term limits and any representative that does not read the bill will not be allowed to vote on it (and we will be watching).The 8 Republican's who voted with the Democrates (Pelosi & Waxman)who everyone knows that has heard them speak that they are babbling idiots and they probably could not find their way to work if it were not for their drivers. I can not vote for them but trust me I intend to let each of them know I will be contributing to anyone that is running against them (Republican or Democrate). At least I know how a Democrate will vote when a bill come to the floor. The 8 have deserted the Republican party and are a disgrace to OUR country, it is no longer their country. THEY NEED TO BE GONE!!

There are two things wrong with the 8 Republicans who voted for the pitiful Waxman-Markey bill: that there were only 8, and that the bill is so watered down. Take the blinders off. Not only have your embarrassing views been eclipsed by 99% of all findings from the science of climate change but your unconscionable stonewalling will make the US less economically potent. Look at Toyota as one case in point: fuel efficient car makers make more money over the long-term. The US should use its vast know-how and heft to make business more efficient and to gain from technological advances that result from clean- and green-technology. But this will only happen if the incentives are in the right place over the long-term. And this is possible only if the true environmental cost of our economic activity is embedded in what we use and produce. A real shame that Congress doesn't have the guts to lead on this one.

 

Q

Jun 29, 2009

I think everyone is misinterpreting the bill. Go read it. It calls for 90% coal and 10% renewable. There's nothing liberal about this bill, its business as usual. A 4% carbon reduction by 2050? HA! You're calling that too left? The Republicans that voted against the bill are the ones you should be concerned with.

The so-called 8 GOP members need to be tarred and feathered at a minimum. These liberals that continue to run as Republicans only to cross lines with the elitest left should pay a heavy price. Rotten scoundrels. For that matter, any representative in Congress that voted Aye for the bill is contemptible, because none of them had read the legistlation. It's all partisan politics here. The rubbish they passed is unconstitutional. How on earth can men say it stands any other way? Especially given that no one had a chance to read a 1500 page document with a 440 page amendment, when the only the amendment itself was provided after 3 AM the morning the vote took place. They yes voters should all be convicted of gross negligence and be kicked out of office!! God save us from these thugs.

To Hagelganz, hope you will enjoy skyrocketing energy bills once this takes effect. Making us "energy independent" by making energy unaffordable is similar to a doctor promising to give you a miracle cure to your pain with a cyanide pill. You take the pill, drop dead and the doc tells your family--"See, I cured his pain, just like I promised." Obama is keeping his promise on making us "energy independent". Once this bill hits, we'll all be living like the Amish with horse & buggy travel & candlelight evenings! Of course, horse farts have a "carbon footprint" too so even this mode of travel may be unaffordable. My state (Illinois) just had the coldest July on record--I guess the earth's "fever" gave my state the chills!!
