We watched the House yesterday, along with both votes and Boehner's filibuster....people should listen, most people don't in this country though....that's whats really sad....as they blindly go to the polls and vote these same congress-critters in.

Nobody pays the least bit of attention until it hits them at home, right in their pocket-books.

The Gang of Eight on the repub side of the aisle that voted with the dems I hope are done though...this would have never passed if not for them.

I was disgusted, to put it mildly.

Doubling down on stupid is not a particularly good idea. ~Andrew Breitbart

He made a terrific distinction of the good things in the bill and the horrible things.

 We do want clean air, we do want to find another new source of energy.

 We don't want these batshit crazy taxes on everything. Let's punish you for having nice things. 

First and foremost, it looks like the Republicans finally have a leader in the House.  I doubt a Dennis Hastert could have done this. Secondly, I hope the gang of 8 is ready to defend their vote because this global warming deal is going south, for the Democrats, rapidly, which is why I believe they were rushing this through.  I read somewhere that Australia has already repealed their cap and trade.  Once the American press starts reporting in this (God only knows when) and people are up on what a farce it is, the Dems (plus the gang of 8) will have some 'splainin' to do.  

Election 2008-God's way of showing us that elections count.  

...even knows what C-SPAN actually is, and probably couldn't find it on their TVs if their blissfully ignorant lives depended on it.

Hell, that was probably the first channel the American Idol-watching, People Magazine readers deprogrammed when they first got their cable hooked up.

While the congress critters in the House were voting yesterday to rid us of what little is left of our freedoms and liberties, not to mention our free market economy, most of the dumbMass sheeple were glued to their TVs, watching non-stop coverage of a pedophile who died of a drug overdose.

RIP, America.

Obama's health care "reform" plan is to blow up the building in order to fix a leak in the roof-Herman Cain

As impressive as it was to watch Boehner in all of these clips, the most telling and damning thing I saw was Waxman's initial response to the mini-fillibuster afterwards. He stood up and asked in a pouty tone how much time Boehner had used, when he was only orginally alloted 2 minutes. THAT was his concern...how much time had been used! NOT whether Boehner was correct or incorrect, but only to know if he had been rude and used more time than he should have. Waxman and all other leading instigators of this bill need to be rounded up and shipped off to socialist countries where the results of this type of bizarre nanny-statism has already begun devastating their economies. 

I CAN'T WAIT FOR 2010/12!!! 

 
Waxman's whining was absolutely pathetic! What a loser.  I love the Speaker not giving in to his boo hooing.

Look, it's already hot as hell down here, so don't sweat it! - My Dad

Sweet tea please! - Me

It's all about the money & power....

that Henry Waxman and those like him are driven from office as quickly as possible?  People in his district need to wake up and destroy this evil Fascist!

You want to beat the National Socialists, play by THEIR rules!  Target and Destroy.

I will pray for Henry Waxman like Jermiah Wright prays for America! 

I have known this bill is one of the worst ever but the more you know it becomes incredible. I just heard a Dem congressman tout one of its provisions that will slap tariffs on imports from countries that do not reciprocate in the madness. It looks as though that will include the entire trading world. The man believes it is good that we Americans pay more for our imported goods (most consumer goods) if, say, China doesn't commit suicide with us! China accepts the latest scientific consensus (playing by the rule that each camp is its own "consensus") and we Americans pay more! Oh Yeah,Good thing! Boehner's speech exposed many idiocies that Waxman wanted to be buried.

I find it hard to believe so many people could vote for such a bad bill. The billions to be made had to be involved. The supporters must also believe the folks will not hear the truth from MSM, that the bill is so complicated even those who read it will not understand its import (if it is ever printed), or these Congressmen just don't give a damn and if they are voted out they will join in the money bin when it goes into effect.

Translation of Waxman's interrupting.......

"Madame Speaker, he's revealing way too much and I never planned for any of this to be read by anyone.  We simply want to pass it and begin bending the American people over as soon as possible.  He's destroying my plans, pwease oh pwease Madame Speaker, I am a god here, pwease make him stop!!"

Bravo to Boehner!

We need to ensure the 8 who caved in get voted out. If this happens to pass in the Senate life as we know it here in America is OVER!

And the worst part about this nonsense is this bill will be nothing compared to the Health care bill that is coming. These congressmen care not one whit for the future of this country, it is painfully obvious that this bill is chock full of "get mine while I can" mentality and the future be damned.

Well I just finished watching the final segment, with Waxman asking how much time Boehner took.   What a F-R-E-A-K-I-N IDIOT and pure wimply liberal whiner.

You nailed it.  How many years did it take government schools to make "us" so dumb?  This country has gone bonkers, they really really don't know much of anything.

I watched the entire debate.  I stayed at work till 7:00 pm on a Friday night so that I didn't miss out on anything.  I left once I saw that the amendment would be out-voted by the liberal scummers.  Boehner's words and actions were truly inspirational.  I could not believe that 8 ryno's had voted for this atrocity called an energy bill.  

BTW- I heard Larry Kudlow's program on WABC 770 here in NYC and he blasted the rep from the horse country in NJ, Lance.  He blasted the group of 8 reps.

Here's the list of people that need to be out of jobs come the next elections.   

Bono Mack
Castle
Kirk
Lance
Reichert
LoBiondo
McHugh
Smith(NJ)

Kudlow was especially disappointed in Smith, who he called a strong pro life, pro business Rep.  He shamed Lance, several callers really called him out too. 

The bill itself is an obamanation.   Boehner even found within those 300+ pages that one co. was being singled out to run a certain part of the business.  How can that happen?  Imagine if the republicans had done such a thing.  The media made an issue about Haliburton taking on the job of reconstruction in Iraq. But, to put it in perspective, Haliburton was one of a short list of 2 or 3 companies in the entire world that could handle such an assignment.  Yet Haliburton was never put into some bogus bill in order to get themselves a hand me down by the obummer administration.  There are serious problems in the bill and we are all affected.  I am glad that Boehner addressed almost all of those things.  There are a lot of things running through my head about this bill and it's just killing me.  What do I hate the most...

The elderly people having to tap into their equity to bring their homes  up to code so that some liberal that was provided an entitlement could reap the benefits of getting a home they did not deserve...

The elderly person that could not tap into their equity because they were too busy paying for other people's entitlements, as proposed in this bill and in the health SCARE bill.  These people would be forced to die in their home.

The couple that worked hard, saved money, didn't have a huge family by choice and not by medical means, so that they could buy a home.  However, they couldn't sell the home unless they were willing to sell at a much lower price than they bought it and after spending money to bring it code.  By bringing it to code they had to spend thousands of dollars and allowing the gov't to intervene in their own homes.  

What about the people who thought they would be smart enough to rent out a place and believe they could buy a home when the market changed, even though the market was over supplied for several years, with homes that were not wired to the new Obummer's new green plan.    Worse off these people continue renting and continue hoping they could get back in the home game, except they are now paying double the rent because the govt has imposed all these green initiatives on the landlord who then had to pass it down to the tenants. 

What about the small business person that took their life's savings to open up a shop but has to lay off several people because they had get their business up to code.  And iff this wasn't the bad part then they had to part with any profit, as iff, he could have garnered any, and pay a national sales tax, and any other additional wonderful taxes that Obummer will impose. So this small business guy had to lay off those folks who then had to tap into the equity in the homes until they found a job, sold a house at a loss and or had to hunker down by moving with other family members.  By the way, that other family member had also been hit with some obstacle like getting their home up to code, job loss and over taxation. 

 There's more... the big business guy.  The big company... you name them... they won't exist in this new green peace.  Why... the realization of the new green enforcement made them shut down plants, warehouses and offices.  Hundreds and thousansds of jobs are loss by company (accounting to over trillions loss from our gdp in a few short decades and close to a million jobs lost per yr) and they've all landed in China or India.  Those two countries... they say thanks for the jobs.. here's more bad air coming your way.  By the way... the saving the earth thing.. is really going out of control but not because the USA has contributed to it.  No.. well maybe.  Heck... you know Obummer will still be lighting up his loosie that he won't have had to pay for from his pocket.  No... the chinese and India will be sending their contributions to the air with force from their new found labor.  And speaking of their labor... what do we get for all the green initiatives... yes... all we ever wanted... more cheap products.  We all needed that electric, biodiesel, green car for one they are producing.  Back to that big corporation that just turned little by the forced terminations... You ask who may they be... Here's a hint.... we already have a few of these already.  They were once called General Motors, Chrysler, Bank of American, Citibank, AIG... get the hint.... except these companies do not produce anything, anymore by that point.  GM and Chrysler are two companies that have more labor doing nothing for something because the union owns them, won't fire anyone in it and won't produce anything..  Instead the tax payer will still be subsidizing them.  Bank of America and Citibank.... the new green banks.  You heard Boehner naming the banks..they won't be making loans, they won't be providing services... no.. they will be employing gov't watch dogs to ensure that the loans that the customers are willing to sign over are complaint with the 12 layers of new beauracracies they are enforcing while raming down more costs to close. 

 Let's get to the winners ok.... there's a few folks.

Al Gore... sure as hell will be a billionaire by the time everything is done.  Don't forget he has a company that is called GIM that he co founded with a former Goldman Suks exec.  They are fine tuning their trading platform so that by the time this obamanation goes live they will have cornered the carbons emissions credit markets.  Sounds like something the Dukes from "Trading Places" would be proud off.

  There are others that will also benefit... the entitlement receivers that have lived heavy on the hog... you know them as renters in sec 8, welfare, coupons, and free medical and education.  Remind you of someone... yeah our very own potus.  He is the poster child of entitlements.  I apologize to anyone iff I ran off too long.  I had to get this off my chest.  The senate has to better get their act together.   I have more but... have to get to bed. 

Boehner is telling it like it is. It is the biggest pile of shiite ever laid upon the people.

And we're supposed to believe those treasonous liberals thugs in Congress.

Bravo to you Mr. Boehner!
