The Eight

Cap and Trade just passed in the House.

The margin of passage was seven votes.

Eight Republicans voted yes.

Here’s the link to the roll call vote.

Now, party unity is not a bedrock principle above all others. But this legislation is (I would say “on its face”, but can’t because it’s not been read and may actually not be completely written yet) so very extreme, so very radical, and so very leftist that the YES! votes of the following members of the Republican Party is prima facie evidence that they would most likely vote to outlaw the Republican Party if asked to do so. I’m not even kidding about that. Unfortunately.

Yes-vote Republicans who put this disastrous bill over the top in the House:

Bono-Mack of California
Castle of Delaware
Kirk of Illinois
LoBiondo of New Jersey
Lance of New Jersey
McHugh of New York
Reichert of the State of Washington
Smith of New Jersey

    My Republican Congressman Says Cap and Trade is Good for America.

    And, he caught the Green River Killer.

    Did you catch the Green River Killer?

    No, no you didn’t.

    You can hear his interview here.

    Dave Reichert SPEAKS: says Cap and Trade will be good for America

    He argued that the expense would not be what the Heartland Institute, Heritage Foundation, and Wall Street Journal were predicting. He argued that it would cost around $.48 per day and that we would have better national security, more nuclear, coal and refining capabilities, and a cleaner environment with the bill. He argued that the conservative arguments against were mistaken, and that Washington specifically would be better off even though the bill was imperfect.

    And, he caught the Green River Killer.

    Yeah, it took him a couple of decades, but better late than never.

    I hear Fox was thinking about making the Series 24 about Reichert. But instead of showing 24 hours in a day they would have to make each episode a year.
