These are the RINO's that sold out the country:

Bono Mack
Castle
Kirk
Lance
LoBiondo
McHugh
Reichert
Smith (NJ)

So, it is time to get rid of them next election. Congressmen who can be bought must be fired.

With the passage of the energy TAX us into oblivion bill I think the discussion about loosing our rights is or at very least, is becoming mute.
Has anyone, by chance, tallied up the number of major bills that have passed Congress that have gone against the will of the majority of the American Public?
So much talk about secession by the states as the last resort to save this country from open revolt (a seriously bad notion) - and those that argue that states are not allowed ... certainly not in the Constitution - so they cite an amendment - problem is that the Central Government's Congress has - in this instance and in a LONG list of other instances violated this "Contract" ... to me it would seem that violation of the contract repeatedly by one party voids the tenants of that contract ... thus rendering the contract null and void ... if the contract is null and void - there IS no contract ... so exactly what would secessionist states be violating????

Have you actually read this thing? Has anyone besides me? It is over for the USA, so much blood and tears and sacrifice to build Her, just a handfull of useful idiots to tear her down. Lord I'm sick to my stomach.

Jun 26, 2009

Oh, it matters that these idiots joined the Democrats to vote against America. One of these fools represent me...for now at least.

Jun 26, 2009

Where can I find the tally of votes on this idiotic piece of crapp legislation? I want to know how many of my Mississippi reps sold us out.

Isn't it about time to bring back tar and feathering? Seems increasingly needed these days.

Madness, pure and utter madness. They're fighting windmills. You can't fight something that A) isn't our fault, B) would be natural anyway (since the climate is NOT stable, never has been, never will be) and C) doesn't even exist.

So, we have 219 Democrats and 8 Republican traitors to work against in the next election. Here is what I've told mine for starts:

I see in today's vote that my trust was misplaced. That will NOT happen again, promise. I will work to be sure that you are not elected and join the unemployed. Shame on you for your betrayal. I don't think the Cap and Trade TAX will pass the Senate but it has cost you more than you can imagine. Your vote against the citizens of this country will be a vote against you.

Don't bother asking us for our vote or support. You're done!

3 of the 8 Republicans who voted aye were from New Jersey -- gotta be a lotta love for the Garden State in there somewhere.

Jun 26, 2009

i am watching the CSPAN replay of the debate, the republicans were saying the right things, with passion, and there weren't enough of them. Dems are saying this ends dependence on foreign oil, but don't allow domestic drilling? and they are true believers in the religion of global warming.

Jun 26, 2009

Is anybody listening? Sen. Inhofe said that the bill is unlikely to make it through the Senate. The only way he could be wrong is if the Senate version is loaded up with enough pork to "persuade" some of the more "flexible" Senators. But then, the House would have to vote on it again, and the beneficiaries of the several hundred pages of House pork are going to see their advantages severely diluted. I'd rate the probability that it will actually become law at about 1 in a hundred. Even if it did, it would never be enforced -- it's simply too destructive. The pork would be generated, though. I hope nobody really thinks this issue relates to global warming (except as a pretext).

Mark Kirk from Illinois you let me down big time...Also, interesting to note too, is that some Dems who voted NO on the bill actually thought the bill didn't go FAR ENOUGH...How sick.

Jun 27, 2009

"The eight Republicans registering 'yes' votes are likely to draw heat from their party's leadership. Those members are Reps. Mary Bono Mack (CA), Mike Castle (DE), Steven Kirk (IL), John McHugh (NY), Leonard Lance (NJ), Frank LoBiondo (NJ), Dave Reichert (WA), and Chris Smith (NJ)."

I hope that you all aren't TOO fond of being Congressmen.

You're toast.

With the possible exception of the Californian, you're all from states that get cold in wintertime...when elections are held.

If you don't think that your future opponents, both in the primaries and the general, aren't going to be reminding the voters in your districts that YOU voted for something that would hike their heating bills, then you are suffering under a delusion.

Hang the SOB

We have 253 Democrats and 8 Republicans to deal with. This was something that the Democratic party decided to do and that means we ought to target those 44 Democrats who voted against this bill as well.

The Democratic party needs to be sent the strongest possible message in 2010 and that includes defeating the 44 who voted against the bill.

Jun 27, 2009

Note to the 219 Democrats, 8 Republicans, President "Il Duce" and those that didn't think this theft was large enough:

We gave this administration a chance. There has been a Democrat majority in both houses since the 2006 election -that means Obama was part of the last session of Congress as they followed their puppet master's agenda (George Soros/Moveon) to create a crisis that could be used to destroy the economy in time for the 2008 election. ECONOMIC TERRORISM for the sake of power.

These political hacks work for us? No, they work for themselves. I would love to see their "investments" (insider trading out here in the real world).

Sounds like a plan to me!

You have to how long it will take before these dictators meet their end.
Seems to me that the Justice system, (if there is still one) would be going after these criminals...that reminds me, do anybody know what happened with the investigations into corruption:

Barack's land deal with Rezko in exchange for millions going to Rezko slum projects.
Michelle getting her husband, Senator Obama, giving her clients government money?

So many scandals that have cost taxpayers millions before they had the power to cost us trillions!

Jun 27, 2009

Congress has the largest Ponzi Scheme in History. Bernard Madoff's scam is nothing compared to the TRILLIONS of dollars our "elected" criminals are stealing from us...and of course borrowing money that will destroy the country and enslave our children.

"My friends, we live in the greatest nation in the history of the world. I hope you'll join with me as we try to change it." - Barack Obama

Jun 27, 2009

Mr. Obama's winning platform can be boiled down to one word: Change. Why?

I have never been so afraid for my country and for my children as I am now.

This man campaigned on bringing people together, something he has never, ever done in his professional life. In my assessment, Obama will divide us along philosophical lines, push us apart, and then try to realign the pieces into a new and different power structure. Change is indeed coming. And when it comes, you will never see the same nation again.

And that is only the beginning..

As a serious student of history, I thought I would never come to experience what the ordinary, moral German must have felt in the mid-1930s. In those times, the "savior" was a former smooth-talking rabble-rouser from the streets, about whom the average German knew next to nothing. What they should have known was that he was associated with groups that shouted, shoved, and pushed around people with whom they disagreed; he edged his way onto the political stage through great oratory. Conservative "losers" read it right now.

And there were the promises. Economic times were tough, people were losing jobs, and he was a great speaker. And he smiled and frowned and waved a lot. And people, even newspapers, were afraid to speak out for fear that his "brown shirts" would bully and beat them into submission. Which they did - regularly. And then, he was duly elected to office, while a full-throttled economic crisis bloomed at hand - the Great Depression. Slowly, but surely he seized the controls of government power, person by person, department by department, bureaucracy by bureaucracy. The children of German citizens were at first, encouraged to join a Youth Movement in his name where they were taught exactly what to think. Later, they were required to do so. No Jews of course,

How did he get people on his side? He did it by promising jobs to the jobless, money to the money-less, and rewards for the military-industrial complex. He did it by indoctrinating the children, advocating gun control, health care for all, better wages, better jobs, and promising to re-instill pride once again in the country, across Europe , and across the world. He did it with a compliant media - did you know that? And he did this all in the name of justice and .... . .. change. And the people surely got what they voted for.

If you think I am exaggerating, look it up. It's all there in the history books.

Jun 27, 2009

So read your history books. Many people of conscience objected in 1933 and were shouted down, called names, laughed at, and ridiculed. When Winston Churchill pointed out the obvious in the late 1930s while seated in the House of Lords in England (he was not yet Prime Minister), he was booed into his seat and called a crazy troublemaker. He was right, though. And the world came to regret that he was not listened to.

Do not forget that Germany was the most educated, the most cultured country in Europe . It was full of music, art, museums, hospitals, laboratories, and universities. And yet, in less than six years (a shorter time span than just two terms of the U. S. presidency) it was rounding up its own citizens, killing others, abrogating its laws, turning children against parents, and neighbors against neighbors. All with the best of intentions, of course. The road to Hell is paved with them.

As a practical thinker, one not overly prone to emotional decisions, I have a choice: I can either believe what the objective pieces of evidence tell me (even if they make me cringe with disgust); I can believe what history is shouting to me from across the chasm of seven decades; or I can hope I am wrong by closing my eyes, having another latte, and ignoring what is transpiring around me.

Jun 27, 2009

I choose to believe the evidence. No doubt some people will scoff at me, others laugh, or think I am foolish, naive, or both. To some degree, perhaps I am. But I have never been afraid to look people in the eye and tell them exactly what I believe-and why I believe it.

I pray I am wrong. I do not think I am. Perhaps the only hope is our vote in the next elections.

I am in the process of moving to NJ and I vow to campaign against the three Republicans that voted for this crazy man's bill. I guess they want NJ to look like Ca.

Jun 28, 2009

Mark Kirk is another political windsock who has been trying to win the Chicago North Shore Airhead Housewife vote. This worm might actually run for Senator. He needs to be flushed.

Jun 29, 2009

Where can I find the names of the (D) who voted for Cap and Trade. I have already seen the (R) and they are gone in 2010!! I now need the names of the (D) Who have sold us out!! In Texas it is Congressman Charlie Gonzales. Please someone tell me where I can find the rest of them? We have been Sold out by the House !!
Write and call your Senators whe have not lost this fight!! matt.troy@sbcglobal.net

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.
