Cap and Trade Passes the House

Earlier I posted about John Boehner's courageous stand against the cap and trade bill. Sadly the bill passed 219-212. 44 Democrats voted against the bill, and 8 Republicans voted for it. Also Randy Forbes made an attempt to offer his New Manhattan Project bill as a substitute, but the Republicans could only muster about 172 votes.

The 8 traitorous Republicans (may they be primaried) are:
  1. Bono Mack
  2. Castle (Let's see how your run for U.S. Senate goes.)
  3. Kirk
  4. Lance
  5. LoBiondo
  6. McHugh
  7. Reichert
  8. Smith (NJ)
The 44 courageous Democrats are: (Dick Morris says these people were mermitted to vote no by the party and they didn't do it out of principle.)
  1. Altmire
  2. Arcuri
  3. Barrow
  4. Berry
