Cap and Trade Bill Will Hurt Many

The title of this article here from TheHill.com is "Boehner: Climate bill a 'pile of s--t'" but I think the really interesting line comes at the end.
One Democrat was upset that his leaders would needlessly force vulnerable Dems to vote for a bill that will come back to haunt them. Mississippi Rep. Gene Taylor (D) voted against the measure that he says will die in the Senate.

"A lot of people walked the plank on a bill that will never become law," Taylor told The Hill after the gavel came down.
From your lips to God's ear Rep. Taylor.

And let's face it, the man is right. A lot of political careers died when they voted to raise energy bills and cost jobs. No wonder those foolish yes-voters in the House have a twitter hashtag, capntraitors.
