The 8 cap-and-tax Republicans…and the 44 Democrats who voted no

Introducing the GOP’s Cap-And-Tax 8…


Photoshop credit: Leo Alberti

I listed them earlier tonight, but am breaking out a separate post to spotlight them again.

The 8 cap-and-tax Republican turncoats again are:

Bono Mack (CA) (202) 225-5330
Castle (DE) (202) 225-4165
Kirk (IL) (202) 225-4835 (And he’s seriously considering running for Senate!)
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

(Phone numbers h/t commenter rightwingmom)

Congrats, congresspeople, you helped the Democrats pass a junk science-based, massive national energy tax. Headed to Disney World now?

We still want to know: What were your payoffs/earmarks?

***

Stacy McCain’s message to the NRCC: Not one red cent.

***

In case you were wondering, here are the 44 Democrat NAY votes:

Altmire
Arcuri
Barrow
Berry
Boren
Bright
Carney
Childers
Costa
Costello
Dahlkemper
Davis (AL)
Davis (TN)
DeFazio
Donnelly (IN)
Edwards (TX)
Ellsworth
Foster
Griffith
Herseth Sandlin
Holden
Kirkpatrick (AZ)
Kissell
Kucinich
Marshall
Massa
Matheson
McIntyre
Melancon
Minnick
Mitchell
Mollohan
Nye
Ortiz
Pomeroy
Rahall
Rodriguez
Ross
Salazar
Stark
Tanner
Taylor
Visclosky
Wilson (OH)

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.

And another reminder that the full roll call vote is here.

    President Obama on Sunday called on all actors in Honduras to respect the rule of law after military leaders there arrested President Manuel Zelaya to head off Zelaya’s attempt to hold a vote on constitutional changes deemed illegal by the country’s Supreme Court and Congress.

    I like the way the Honduran military deals with presidents who ignore their Constitution.

    Perhaps this action makes Dear Leader a little nervous. Notice how quick his response came here in comparison with his response to the Iranian crisis.

    None of the members of congress voted using one ounce of integrity, values or independent thought. The votes were all carefully orchestrated to preserve power and reward the sellouts with perks. All are too busy protecting themselves to bother understanding what they are doing to the economy. I find it ironic that the first black POTUS and the present congress are selling us into bondage to the foreign governments which own the debt.

    Gee, it’s funny, as if 11:00 AM Pacific Time, it’s STILL impossible to get through to Congressman Kirk’s offices in both DC and Illinois. That’s 2:00 pm DC time and 1:00 pm Illinois time! I guess he just doesn’t care to hear from his constituency!

    A Kennedy in rehap? June follows May, day follows night and a Kennedy in rehab. Life goes on. Hope the rehab center offers swimming lessons :evil:

    No, I do not admire the Kennedy Aristocracy.

    When the Heritage Foundation did its analysis of Waxman-Markey, it broadly compared the economy with and without the carbon tax. Under this more comprehensive scenario, it found Waxman-Markey would cost the economy $161 billion in 2020, which is $1,870 for a family of four. As the bill’s restrictions kick in, that number rises to $6,800 for a family of four by 2035.

    Obama: But let me be clear. As I have said, they are not taking into account the savings, the new jobs created, the lessening of dependence on my good friends, the Iranians. My math teacher LGM has figures that show Americans will BENEFIT from this bill. I would never do anything that does not benefit Americans. Its just that sometimes you have to sacrifice to achieve (under breath: potential) future benefits. It will work but there is no proof that it will. (smiles down nose to ordinary Americans).
