Passes 219-212, 8 Repuiblicans for it could have killed it. 3 not voting.

“We will be California in a few years if not sooner.”

If so, then the CA economy will rank somewhere between Mexico & Zimbabwe. So will Michigan & NY, & several other Lib states.

Couldn't happen to a more deserving bunch of people.

I wonder if Zer0 will continue the BBQs with thousands of starving Americans camped around the capitol.

Though I agree with you the nation needs a “slap”, the resulting weakening of the USA & much of the Western economies will likely encourage our adversaries. Economic chaos has spawned wars & much else. Many people will suffer as a result of this incredibly stupid bill if it passes the Senate.

as of now, i am no longer a member of the republican party

this is the last straw !

Perhaps the only positive thing if this becomes law is Obama’s constituents will make up the majority of the people who can't afford this. You can go on all day about deficits and what our children will owe, and they couldn't care less.

Hike their electric bill a couple of hundred dollars a month, and they'll get it. Really quick.

**8 Repuiblicans for it could have killed it.**

I know the answer must be below.....who were the eight Republicans?

Darn it!

[Blood of Tyrants]

Look on the sidebar in breaking news.

Republican “Moderates”. The gift that keeps on giving.

George Taylor to Congress: Oh my God. I’m back. I’m home. All the time, it was... We finally really did it. [screaming] You Maniacs! You blew it up! Ah, damn you! God damn you all to hell!

“McHugh. R NY was just nominated by Zero to be Secretary of the Army. So this is McHugh’s pay off for the nomination. Do you think he cares about the effects of this bill on his already suffering home districtin northern NY? Hell no! He only cares about himself.

May he rot in hell! “

The perfect definition of a political whore.

All you pro lifers who love Chris Smith, well here you go. You love to call us social moderates, ie, those who could give a you know what about abortion, prayer in school, gay rights, etc. RINOS

Chris Smith is a RINO. This is the stuff that counts. Free markets, free enterprise, freedom in general. Wake up people.

“Hike their electric bill a couple of hundred dollars a month, and they'll get it. Really quick.”

I'm not so sure. Tax credits & rebates could be used to mollify selected constituencies. Many will NEVER get it - certainly not the Greenies - even as they freeze & starve.

There has been talk that the bill will have a hard time getting through the Senate. Someone here mentioned that Harry Reid himself said that it won't pass. I do not know any specific details.

I am not, however, predicting that it won't pass, nor do I suggest we become idle and allow this injustice to continue its way through the legislative process.

[Tzimisce]

Boy this is going to HURT....:(:(:(

[Chode]

so who has the blackmail pix/evidence on these TRAITOROUS RATS that made them sell out their own country???

[Revel]

Everyone should read this article on Goldman Sachs from Rolling stones magazine. I could not post it on main because it is via a blog, and you have to go there to read it. It turns out that Goldman stands to make a mint off from cap and trade according to the article. Makes sense too.

So the NO vote rats are even bigger rats than the standard everyday rats...they should be held in even greater disdain because they are two faced sneaks

I had heard some politician recently say how excited the Dems were because the initiatives in the bill were self-funding and it wouldn’t increase the deficit. Now if that’s the measure of a good piece of legislation, I don’t know what to say. I really don’t. These people spend our money — and our children’s money, ad infinitum for consolidation of power disguised as the “common good” . I once believed in the American Dream. I’m not sure if it’s achievable in this “climate” anymore. If this passes the Senate, a grand crisis will occur. And this will go down as one of the biggest “jack” in modern history.

Iranians fight back, today’s American turns on his Big Screen and fades away.

Freedom isn’t worth fighting for anymore, I guess.

The hard-left that is running the country now will get everything they want.

Won’t you poor, dumb saps be surprised in about a year from now when you realize all the talk about America falling was actually real, prophetic.

[wheresmycheckbarry?]

May God have mercy on these politicians’ souls. They have now chosen self interest/absolute power over, not only the good, but the majority of the WANT, of the American people.

And may God guide and protect us as our republic crumbles.
Forgive them Lord for they know not what they do.....

And forgive us...because Lord, we believe, but
help us in our unbelief.

We had a good run...not the best in history...but it was a good run. April 1861 draws near....only it doesn’t...for now we are but a generation of convenience, want and entitlement....
but do not fear my fellow Americans....American Idol auditions begin again in a few months

We had a good run.

[goodnesswins]

YES...there is a whole section in the bill for “credits” for the poor...on energy....
