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:

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.

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!
Yes, but it seems that President Cucaracha WILL interfere in a country’s business to help dictators.
Of course, a man’s natural inclination is to help his friends…
Reps in rehab, paroled to vote…do any of these people see how laughable they are?
All in congress need rehab…
Wheres Tonya Harding when you need her?
but only if the interference can help marxist or anti-American dictators however.
You mean like a U.N. Resolution?
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
No, I do not admire the Kennedy Aristocracy.
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).
I finally read Reicherts statement about his reasons for voting for cap and tax…I just didn’t realize that I wasn’t seeing the bigger picture!
Like ya personally Dave, but your more of a Darcy with white hair than the respected leader the Teddy bear was named after!
I bet they will get real nice $2,000,000.00 jobs in the near future to the special interests they sold out to.
All of you who have been offered Green Jobs please raise your hands, and yes that does include inspecting your neighbors home and cleaning up the mercury spills from the Compact Florescent Bulbs.
Knee capping the Pelosi 8 is a bonus
(are you SURE we can’t hang them?)
Huh? We’re supposed to punish the NRCC because 8 disgraceful members of the House voted like Jackasses? What about all the Republicans who voted no?
When Sessions and Bohner figure out how to beat the crap out of those 8 @ssholes and keep them in line, they MIGHT get some of my money, until then they can just kiss my pasty white tookus.
I made my phone calls last week. I got in touch with 6 of the 8, and after leading off with “Hi is this the office of the DEMOCRATIC representive from ______” I made my point. I also closed with the phrase, “You tell Congress___ _____ that (My name) in (my hometown and state) said with all due respect “Dead POLITICAL CAREER walkin’”
