Cap-and-tax passed the House of Representatives today by a margin of 219-212. How did they get that number? Fourty-four Democrats decided not to sell out the United States, while eight Repubicans decided to join the majority of Democrats in supporting the horrific legislation.
The following eight Republicans understood how harmful this legislation will be to our economy and regular Americans. They new that it was based on junk science and is being used by the far-left to pay back special interests for their support in the election. And yet these eight Republicans voted for the crap sandwich anyway, most likely getting something in return. Perhaps 40 pieces of silver.
Make sure to call them and congratulate them on drawing the ire of countless conservative activists who will now actively work for their defeat next November. Information via MM.

All of them should be retired as quickly as possible, and, yes, even at the expense of filling their seats with Democratic replacements. What’s the point of having someone with an “R” after their name if they vote with Democrats? If you’re going to sell out your ideals, who cares who wins the election?
