Passes 219-212, 8 Repuiblicans for it could have killed it. 3 not voting.
Boehner was pissed to say the least!
I’ve always thought him to be ineffective. Something about him turns people off (aside from his spinelessness).
This legislation is going to kill the American economy and devastate the middle class and small businesses.
At least Bono Mack’s hubby voted NO.
if it does come to law and doubles electric bills it will increase just my power cost alone at my businesses 175,000 bucks a year
not to mention how power costs affect everything else
and this is VERY IMPORTANT:
many well meaning but utterly hopelessly naive folks here who only have business knowledge from the internet and books or goofy college professors hiding in the sanctuary of academic tenure, think that all costs such as these can be passed on just like magic to the consumer.
that is utter hogwash bullshite...a pure lie than many conservatives who can’t resist latent populist resentment can’t resist
it is impossible, we have to eat it to some degree
and given this economy we will be eating a lot
only businesses who can pass this on like nothing are monopolies...nice job if you can get it and even they have to get approval...that and folks with informal collusion
in the competitive world you find where to cut to make this up more than simply raise prices, you just raise prices and someone down the street will cut cost elsewhere and underprice you
it is not like folks think....it’s laughable how little some conservatives know about owning businesses
(not u)
212-219 By 7 points????
8 pubs passed this nightmare!!!! Unforgiveable!!!!
Here’s a link to the roll call vote: http://clerk.house.gov/evs/2009/roll477.xml
I’ll extract the Republican names and post them in a couple minutes.
Alright....fess us, NoobRep :)
They are stealing money as fast as they can.
“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.”
The best way to be sure your money does not go to a RINO is to not donate to the GOP at all! I haven’t for over two years because I do not want one penny of my money to go to a RINO! I tell them so when they ask for donations, and they still do! I will only support those I research and find to be real conservatives not RINOS!
Eight disgusting, perverted and insane Pubbies! Hoping Rep. Boehner waterboards each and everyone of them! Noting that every brave U.S. Pilot gets waterboarded as well all the time and it is just one more b.s. piece of demorat poop!
Yes, but if those eight Republicans had voted "NAY" then those Democrat congressmen would have had to have voted "YEA" and thus weakened their position in their home districts making it easier for a Republican challenge.
So these eight traitorous Republicans not only voted for the bill but they also allowed some Democrat congressmen to maintain a strong position in their districts.
A House of Whores.

Ditto, I have called all mine and had to leave messages.
We need to absolutely MELT DOWN the Senate phone lines
Does anyone know where I can find a copy of the bill as passed? I would like to print out the bill, take it to the meeting with my congressman, and ask him whether he actually knows what is in it.
Kudos to you, ARISTA!!!!!!!!! I went to your links. You are spot on!
