The Waxman-Markey “tax Americans to the grave” energy bill is based on junk science, leftist power-grabbing, and a lack of respect for the nation’s citizens. And to boot, the gazillions this is suppose to generate is only going to be able to resolve a teensy fraction of what they want it to. Nonsense and poppycock… it’s arrogance to believe mere humans can actually influence something so large as climate. Most of the bill is intended to make a handful of people and organizations breathtakingly rich because of their inside scoops into investments, etc. Al Gore, it’s been discovered, stands to make somewhere around $100 million as a result of the global warming bill passing. If it doesn’t pass, he loses money. Hmmm…

Concerning those 30-plus Democrats who voted against the global warming tax bill, they should also be contacted (no matter your party affiliation) to give them a hearty thanks and thumbs up. The more involved citizens are, the less likely our elected officials will go against what the majority of a district or state want. For those out there whose reps voted for the bill (like most of the Democrats and the Republican Turncoat 8), they should be told of your dissatisfaction/anger/disappointment/whatever.

Silence is acceptance, silence means compliance. Do NOT be silent… our votes in 2010 is the most powerful weapon we all have to keep the clowns in Washington looking out for us and representing us.

Thanks again, Chris, for your input, and happy Independence Day!

These eight turncoats sold the American taxpayers down the toilet with their supportive Democrat vote [ what was their price? ] while being dressed under the GOP banner, not being in my district, the deck is stacked against me concerning my ability to vote them out of office. The sad part is it only takes ONE vote to stick it to the rest of us.

When you don’t know where that vote is coming from no one can stop it. If your not from their district they could care less because they know you can’t vote for or against them.
The rest in their district exclaim, time and time again , “My Congressman/Senator does a fine job” and the same IDIOTS get re-elected over and over again. Does the name Ted Kennedy ring a bell ?

The GOP better not give one thin dime in support of any of these traitors, or I will not donate to the RNC [Michael Steele] any longer and Blunt will not get my vote here in Missouri He’s on thin ice anyway because he is NOT a true conservative as he makes it seem.

Down here, talk radio hangs his record out for all to see. His staffer told me he supported the Fair Tax Plan. Go to Fairtax.org, they have him listed from congressional records as NOT supporting it. Call back , tell the staffer , they hang up with the slamming of the phone. In other words the staffer LIED intentionally to apease me on that topic. That right there cost Blunt my vote. But they figure “Oh it’s only one vote”. The staffers can’t even be honest with the voters, so I give up calling, being the waste of time it truely is.

It never struck me that way, Steven. His email address uses Reichert’s name and his IP checks out for living in WA, so I’m pretty confident that he is a big Reichert supporter. However, upon review, I see that you’re right – it could indeed go either way. Thanks for offering a different way of looking at his post.

Sarcasm usually only works when it is read if the reader is familiar with the writer’s style of writing or his or her ideologies, and even then, it’s a gamble. So, including /sarc or /sarcasm or something similar in the text helps out.
