Way to go, confiscatory Republicans. Charlie Rangel, Chris Dodd, and Barney “Grabby Hands” Frank thank you!
some surprises on the list..
It’s the precedent it sets that is so sickening.
Shame on every last one of them.
Holding face in my hands!
Too many Floridians on that list. Hey, RPoF ... whiskey tango foxtrot? Glad to see Bill Posey knows better and he’s a first-termer.
These people are insane.
Rush played the reasoning why some of the Republicans voted for the bill this morning. It was a speech made by Ed Royce. I believe Dana Rohrabacher probably felt the same way. These guys are staunchly conservative
Basically it was to teach the private companies a lesson about coming to the federal government looking for a handout. In other words if they get their hand slapped they may not come back while hopefully others will stay away.
You may or may not agree but that is the reasoning. It was not a sellout as some on this board are thinking.
Cantor may have a Parliamentary excuse but the others? bah!
Cantor’s POTUS prospects are toast. McClintock is a surprise. At least Duncan Hunter Jr. & Issa aren’t on this list with the rest of the CA GOP / RINO delegation.
My Congressman voted against it.
2 wrongs do not make a right.
I think many of them voted that way to show they are in agreement with teaching these weasels a lesson. This is government-taxpayer (our) money they are squandering on failure.
This will likely amount to little more than symbolism anyway. I think the courts will overturn it because it singles out one specific group to be punished via taxation. I do not think that will hold in the courts.
I just sent this letter to my congressman Republican Dave Reichert, 8th district, Washington.
How disappointed I am to find out that you Congressman Reichert has voted along with most Democrats and 85 House Republicans supporting Rangels 90 percent bonus tax. . As much as we all hate to see bailed out company executives get bonus checks paid for by tax payers dollars, this punitive 90% tax is unconstitutional. But why should I expect these same Congressmen to have ever read the Constitution when they don’t even read bills they vote on. You a man with a law background should out of all of them know better. The rule of law must stand above this, ‘if it makes you feel good do it’, vote today in congress. You have lost my support and vote forever because of this knee-jerk reaction and illegal vote. I will be supporting someone else to represent me next election.
It’s okay with me they got Fannie and Freddie too.
Aw crap! My guy is on the list! Gonna have to call and email his office and ask them “WTF?!?”
That’s my congressman, Todd Platts in the MSM driven wolf pack.
I am outraged and disappointed that you voted with Charlie Rangel and Barney Frank to tax the bonuses of the AIG executives.These bonuses are contractual, were known to this administration, were allowed by an amendment by Chris Dodd, and are less than a tenth of a per cent of the AIG bailout billions.
The unindicted culprits in this economic meltdown are the Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac enablers primarily Dodd, Frank, Schumer, Waters, Gorelick, Raines, up to and including Paulson and Bernanke.
You have contributed to the climate of threat of bodily harm to these executives and their families and must bear responsibility for any harm to them.
I am very disappointed that Republicans have utterly failed to muster the courage to call out the radical Marxist president from Kenya and his willing handmaidens in the Congress currently destroying capitalism.
Yours is the classic appeaser behavior placating the crocodile in hopes he'll eat you last--
--here's a news flash: The New Tone bought Bush low numbers and your civility will not gain you one seat.
It's a Republic, but in dire straits relying on such Republicans as the 85 cowards who kissed Charlie Rangel's behind on this bill.
If any of my clown circus show up at our Baton Rouge Tea Party, I intend to get in their faces.
