Update: Cap-and-Trade Vote Count: 210-210, 14 Undecided
Americans for Tax Reform ^ | Friday, June 26, 2009 3:53 PM | Brian M Johnson

Posted on 6/26/2009, 8:14:54 PM by Delacon

That's right. We are hearing 210 - 210 with 14 undecided. Keep calling the swtichboard 202-224-3121 and emailing through here to ensure your message gets heard!

Remember: Over the 2012-2035 timeline, job losses average over 1.1 million. By 2035, a projected 2.5 million jobs are lost below the baseline (without a cap and trade bill). Particularly hit hard are sectors of the economy that are very energy-intensive: Manufacturers, farmers, construction, machinery, electrical equipment and appliances, transportation, textiles, paper products, chemicals, plastics and rubbers, and retail trade would face staggering employment losses as a result of Waxman-Markey.

The Senate does not vote on this rubbish until the fall. By then the cold air will bring people to their senses. The economy will be worse than right now. All this will produce a Senate no vote

Idiot Pelosi can bribe and horsetrade members of the House. This is a smaller factor in the Senate. This Global Warming scam bill is a House creation ...a Pelosi obsession. Senate is different

Jeff Flake, definitely a credible conservative.

Just like Mark Sanford is a "credible conservative." Flake went on '60 Minutes' railing against pork.

219-212. A score that could live in infamy.

The RINOs will be hunted down. We’ll know in a few minutes.

OK - it still has to pass the Senate.

Now in the grand scheme of things. The Obama Health Care is worse than this. This Cap and Trade mess will be discovered to be what it is and repealed pretty fast.

But a whole new health care beauracracy, if it passes will end up like Social Security, Medicare & Medicaid. Junk that doesn’t work and we can never get rid of.

8 RINO’s turned against us - you have to wonder if they were pressured but it doesn’t matter if Rahm had a picture of them screwing a goat. They shoudl have shown some backbone and stopped this.

Obama either has promised him something his district really needs or someone is blackmailing him for some personal indiscretion (is he a closet gay like Kolbe or cheating on his wife?).

“Hey Boehmer Think maybe you should have been getting some people in line instead of giving your specch?? FAILURE AS LEADER”

Bull tweet! The role Boehner played reading aloud the various appalling provisions of the 300page Waxman amendment to the already treacherous bill was critical. Without his using his Leader position no one would have had time to publicize those provisions. Only he, as Minority Leader, was afforded the time. Any other member would have been cut off after 3 minutes; Boehner got over an hour.

There is no accounting for the treachery of the 8 members, but you cannot blame Boehner.

I think you're right about this.
