Another major step on the road to socialism

Here are the names of the eight treasonous "Republican" representatives who voted to pass H.R. 2454, the "cap and trade" carbon emissions bill that constitutes 1.) a Big-Brother-like Federal government intrusion into just about every aspect of an American citizen's life, and 2.) by far the largest tax increase in history. Without the support of these turncoats, the measure would have failed.

We can't even ascertain how bad the bill is actually going to be, because 300 pages of amendments were slipped into the bill at 3:00 a.m. this morning, and those who voted "aye" couldn't possibly have had time to read and digest it, much less common peasants such as ourselves. In fact, there was only one copy of the complete bill available for inspection in the entire House today, and it was located at the Speaker's desk. Another outstanding example of "transparency" and open government, you will observe.

These Congressmen, who by their vote have violated every tenet of the core conservative principles of the Republican Party, should be immediately cut off from party financial and logistics support, stripped of any minority leadership positions they currently hold, and voters in their districts should make plans to oust them from office in 2010:

Mary Bono (California)
Michael Castle (Delaware)
Mark Kirk (Illinois)
Leonard Lance (New Jersey)
Frank LoBiondo (New Jersey)
John McHugh (New York)
David Reichert (Washington)
Chris Smith (New Jersey)

These shortsighted legislators must be held accountable for helping to saddle our country with a law that will most assuredly propel us deeper into the current depression, and will serve (just as the Messiah plans) to hamstring our growth and prosperity relative to other nations forever. If you live in one of their districts, please support their primary challenger in 2010.

We are very gratified, however, to learn that our own Democratic representative, Harry Mitchell, voted against this execrable bill. The more we follow his voting record, the more we like him.
