Friendly fire is a hard thing to swallow particularly when the odds are stacked so definitively against you in pure numbers. And tonight eight Republican congressman for absolutely no good reason, voted in favor of the worst tax increase in American history, as well as the biggest regulatory penalties to ever hit the private business sector of the economy and thusly the most impacting legislation towards job reduction, recession inducing, personally bankrupting, not to mention wasteful to have ever been put forward for the vote.
That vote ended up being 219-212 in favor of passing this horrendous wreck of a bill that the congress had not even read.
Mark Kirk of Illinois, and Chris Smith of New Jersey were two of the eight.
What is particularly damning is that they evidently do not have sound reasons for doing so.
I've interviewed both men. Both have stood for traditional smaller government conservatism in the past.
Now Kirk is postulating a run for the United States Senate seat vacated by Obama's election to Presidency.
Kiss it goodbye Kirk. You're hopes for higher office right now are in the proverbial toilet and not looking good.
Disappointing... is vastly understating the feelings towards these eight horrific cowards.
