Ah, thanks. I was wondering what his financial interest is.

Well, there you go. Unbelievable who can pick up and buzz over to China to trade and sell stuff, but representatives need to chill. China loves the old rigs & equipment sitting out to rust here when drilling went south....again.

If I came face to face with this guy I know where I’d like to put a light bulb . . . .

It isn't his face where I'd like to shove a light bulb.

I wondered what caused that. My mother has one in her living room that constantly jumps from bright to dim and back every few minutes. It’s right next to the hallway so there must be a draft doing it.

"Heck I have a lamp that the A/C blows on and you can watch the light physically dim when the cool air..."

Don't worry, Congress will "fix" that for you when then ban A/C.

Would you do me a favor and just sit on him until I get there - I want first dibs!

Don’t worry. It takes a lot more than just one RINO to change a light bulb.

He's the grandson of the WHIRLPOOL CO-FOUNDER AND HE'S A SQUISHY MODERATE AND PROUD OF IT!

I prefer to call him a sickening RINO incumbent who works with the Marxists to our detriment.

I may sound old fashioned, but I’m really upset at GE for their quickness to dismiss the invention that started the company and made it famous. They wouldn’t exist today if it weren’t for the incandescent bulb.

I grew up in Berrien County Michigan (borders Indiana and right on “The Lake”).

Whirlpool’s main headquarters were in St.Joseph. I’m “up” on the Uptons!!

I use the regular bulbs during the Winter then switch them out for the cool bulbs during the Summer. The heat is not wasted that way.

Just let the market decide.

These are the kind of people the phrase “Get a rope!” was invented for.

Aha! So is this “call me Fred” guy another rich RINO “moderate” heir like Nelson D. Rockefeller?

That ban needs to be repealed by the next Congress!!

It’s a winning issue- especially when the hazards of these crappy bulbs are explained.
