It’s Saturday and many Americans are preparing for a week of Tea Party events and celebration of our Country’s Independence, so I don’t expect a lot to happen today. But I do hope you’ll come back to this post on Monday and be sure to let these “representatives” know how you feel about their betrayal.
The following are the “Crazy 8″ Republicans who committed political suicide yesterday by voting for the scam of a bill known as Cap & Trade. How a person can call himself/herself a Republican and cast such a nasty vote is beyond me, but apparently these 8 see nothing wrong with their action.
I think we should let them know that we’re not going to stand for it anymore.

Just read the states they come from. Thank God none from Arizona. But they are still in jeopardy.
I pledge to vote them out. We need “common sense” representatives for Arizona.
I have a “game changer” for you all. I have tried this on everyone from
ultra conservatives to Stalinists whackjobs and I can actually get these two groups to totally agree. NO MORE INCUMBANTCY. Regardless of party, do not vote for the incumbant. Eliminate all pensions and health benefits for elected officials. They are supposed to be public SERVANTS not rulers (which they have become). Both parties are only focused on “tenure” and consolidation of power. This would completely end this fiasco. Their motto should be “don’t let the door hit you on the way out”. Imagine a congressperson serving the whole two year term rather than 1/2 their time running for reelection.
The time has come that we must understand that even after a hard day and week that we MUST spend time focused on what they are doing up in Washington and our own states, cities, and local governments. We have to get the addresses of all of them. We need to work with our own communities to get the message out. Find out where our neighbors stand, collect signatures. We must face our Representatives with the truth of what WE THE PEOPLE want and expect from our representatives. We must be certian that what we ask for is in the interest of the whole of the nation. Not our own petty desires. When we allow for that, they begin to pander to each and every faction. They divide and conquer. And I believe we must do so peacefully and legally. Bloody revolutions…should be out of the question. I daresay that not one person who speaks up on this blog would like for their children or grandchildren or so on down the line, to have to go through such a destructive occurence. We are better than that. Smarter than that. Let them see our strength in our intellectual prowess. Our willingness to be informed and to take the time and energy to inform. Let us act in a manner that shows we are not maniacs on the loose, but rather thoughtful, introspective people with deep and abiding affection for our country, love of our family and who have a willingness to listen to other points of view, but at the end of the day will if we still feel that we are in right continue to pursue our beliefs.
I was glued to C-APAN during the remarks and the voting! John Boeyner was BRILLIANT! When I saw the vote tally,I was a screaming idiot in my living room! Not a real Conservative or Republican would do this to the American People! Louis Gomert is a Keeper as well! He is with us in our grief over our sinking ship. How is this UNCONSTITUTIONAL BEHAVIOR being permitted to go on?
There’s a storm comin’ and it smells like a bloody revolution!
I did write the “Crazy 8″ - Didn’t get many sent since most only do their own districts but the few I did get through on were told of their actions and the Betraying they did to the People not in their Districts.
People you have more choices - It’s called Special elections and Impeachments of these traitors of the Constitution and the People they say they Represent. The many would have power over the few if the Signatures were collected and delivered. This type of action would shake Washington and every where inbetween. We all need Honest Representation from the Elected Officials that we want not what the all might buck buys.
Note: I am not for the Left or Right - I am for whats best for the People and Our Country. We must stop the Corruption that is Ruining every thing for the Hard working American. God Bless America and it’s People.
I would have been tempted to place the place the phrase, “and last” before the work term on the list of these “Craxy 8″ Representatives.
Noting how many of them habe been in the Congress for 14, 18, and even 30 years suggests that they probably did indrecible damage through the years. Good riddance. I just pray that their constituaents havwe the good sense to vote them out. LONG LIVE THE TEA PARTIES.
