		<description>HRC endorses Mary Bono Mack over her more gay-friendly Dem. oppononent every election because she scores better than 70% on their scorecard. I&#039;m not an HRC fan. I&#039;m just saying, if they can have that much integrity in this area, so can I. I have a scorecard too, and when a conservative GOP&#039;er like Mary is gay-friendly, I can excuse her for doing something as stupid as voting for this bill. She did hear from me on this, yes, but I see no reason to throw her out in favor of her next Dem. opponent who is as liberal as they come.</description>

		<description>Reichert is my congressman. WA is filled with environmental whackos. He believes in order to win, indeed, his predecessor, Jennifer Dunn told him, that the secret to holding that seat is to always vote &quot;for the environment&quot;. 

Bad advice. This bill will do LESS than squat to help the environment, it will actually make America even more dependent on foreign energy. (Liberal policies are 100% responsible for our dependence on foreign energy)

I contacted him many times leading up to the bill, got the right thinking members of my family and friends to contact him, and promised him if he voted for this economy and liberty destroying SHAM based on bogus science, that I would actively campaign to defeat him. I intend to keep that promise.</description>

		<description>#6: &quot;Mary Bono is excused cuz California is eco-crazy.&quot;

Au contraire, mon frere.  The merry widow of the desert is not excused and her staff will be hearing from me in the near future about their RINO boss.  If Sonny Bono were still with us, even he would say, &quot;Mary, at least Cher had the decency and integrity to admit she&#039;s a liberal whack-job.&quot;</description>

		<description>I&#039;ve been worried all day about whether that evil Queen Pelosi would get this vile, destructive POS passed today, but I never suspected that when I came home I would find out that it wouldn&#039;t have happened without a gaggle of &quot;Republican&quot; votes pushing it across the finish line.  Wow.  This is unbelievably discouraging.  If we can&#039;t count on the Republicans that we elect and send to Washington to vote against legislation like this, then what&#039;s the point?  Everything about the cap and trade bill is an affront to core Republican (and certainly conservative) ideals, so if these &quot;Republicans&quot; will diverge from the party line to vote for this, then what liberal, crackpot legislation WON&#039;T they vote for?  Slavery reparations?  Why not?  Why would we trust these traitors to oppose the Fairness Doctrine?  We can&#039;t.

I admit it--I am feeling very discouraged by this.  It&#039;s bad enough that these scumbags (or anyone for that matter) would support this heinous bill.  But what really discourages me is the fact that there will be no immediate or serious consequences for this outrage from the party leadership.  Yes, of course &quot;we the people&quot; can support these Reps&#039; opponents in the next primary, etc.  But what is the RNC going to do about this NOW?  I&#039;d be interested to find out exactly what kind of power the RNC has in this situation (if any) so that pressure can be brought to bear on the organization to do whatever they can to isolate and shun these Reps.  But I&#039;m not optimistic--were there any consequences for Snowe, Collins and Specter from the RNC?  Sure, Specter is done for, but not because of anything the RNC did.

I know that there are Republicans in the House that fought this bill tooth and nail and I am grateful for their efforts.  What must they be feeling right now--knowing that the Dems truly didn&#039;t have the votes to pass the bill on their own, but that it passed anyway with the help of their Republican &quot;colleagues&quot;?  They&#039;ve got to be feeling defeated and betrayed at a minimum.</description>

Next stop: nationalized healthcare (followed by another amnesty).

Americans voted for liberalism - they&#039;re going to get it good and hard (and they won&#039;t be smart enough to realize the source).</description>
