I want to know WHO voted HOW. I know how Joe Barton voted. I want to know about the rest of them from Texas.
Who were the 8 republicans? These eight should be on the top of the list for not being reelected. If the National GOP gives one cent to these eight, they will not receive another contribution from me. I’d send it to the North Korea before I would give it to these guys.
OK PEOPLE! GET ON THE PHONES AND CALL YOUR SENATORS!!!! This is NOT over, we can kill this monstrosity yet! LIGHT EM UP!
The Democrat party just committed suicide.
That was quick>

Name those freaking Republicans and never let them have a day of peace!!!!!!!!!
I am interested in which ones turned—because by the end of the day, their offices were indicating they were voting NO....I will actively work to unseat them.
Those of us in crazy liberal states like CA should focus on sending money to whoever runs against the dopes who voted for this.
Good God help us.
Word is the bill won’t get through Senate. At the least, those who voted for this assault on America need to be revealed for all to see. Shine the light on them. Do not let them win their re-election!
According to the list at the link, Kirk (R-Ill) voted yes. Must have had a good time at the luau last night...
Kirk, Bono, Mack, Castle, and I don’t know who else..
I hope the Senate kills it. Obama just killed all of the House reps jobs thanks to the 8 turncoats.
Time to toss out Boner.
Follow the money. Gore is laughing all the way to the bank. Revenge for Election 2000.
Cap-And-Trade: Al Gore’s Cash Cow
By INVESTOR’S BUSINESS DAILY | Posted Wednesday, April 29, 2009 4:20 PM PT
Global Warming: At the cap-and-trade hearings, it was revealed that not everyone will suffer from this growth-killing energy tax. A congresswoman wanted to know why sea levels aren’t rising but Gore’s bank account is.
When Gore left office in January 2001, he was said to have a net worth in the neighborhood of $2 million. A mere eight years later, estimates are that he is now worth about $100 million. It seems it’s easy being green, at least for some.
Gore has his lectures and speeches, his books, a hit movie and Oscar, and a Nobel Prize. But Rep. Marsha Blackburn, R-Tenn., was curious about how a man dedicated to saving the planet could get so wealthy so quickly. She sought out investment advice we all could use in a shaky economy.
Last May, we noted that Big Al had joined the venture capital group Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers the previous September. On May 1, 2008, the firm announced a $500 million investment in maturing green technology firms called the Green Growth Fund.
Last Friday, Gore was the star witness at the hearings on cap-and- trade legislation before the House Energy and Commerce Committee. Blackburn asked Gore about Kleiner-Perkins, noting that at last count they “have invested about a billion dollars invested in 40 companies that are going to benefit from cap-and-trade legislation that we are discussing here today.”
