Mary Bono Votes For Cap & Trade; Will Someone Please Pimary Her?

The Accidental Congresswoman has outlived her uselessness. GOP Rep. Mary Bono-Mack needs a primary challenger, stat.

"Cap and trade" — the energy tax that constitutes the largest tax in American history (a category in which it has some stiff competition) has passed narrowly, thanks to the votes of 8 Republicans.

Absent those 8 Republicans, this tax hike would have failed.

One of those Traitorous 8 was Rep. Mary Bono-Mack. She votted "no" on the earlier test vote, then flipped to a "yes" on the final vote.

Thanks for nothing, Mary. It is inexplicable to me how anyone calling themselves a Republican would vote for this ginormous tax levy to fight a climate phenomenon that no one — no one — has proven is the result of man-made activity.

Mary Bono needs a primary challenge. A serious challenger who can win and send her packing off to the political oblivion she deserves.

If a serious challenger steps up, they can count on all the help this Republican can provide — including a donated blog ad on Red County.com and regular editorial support.

    This is what a “big tent” gets us. A Rep who will vote for a very bad bill and no reprocutions. We are just supposed to smile, grab the ankles and vote Republican. BS

    How did Mary’s husband Rep. Connie Mack (R-Florida) voted on the bill?

  3. matt@pacific-strategies.com Says:

    He voted

  4. matt@pacific-strategies.com Says:

    He voted against it.

    As the resident squish here, I hope Mary Bono Mack gets defeated. There are other ways she could of differentiated herself instead of capitulating to Nancy Pelosi on the American economy.

    Mary thinks that by acting like a Democrat she could beat the mayor of Palm Springs in November 2010, but she more likely will depress the base.

    There is a right way and a wrong way to be a moderate, and Mary flunked the test.

    Jim Batlin or Bonnie Garcia would be two quality candidates most Republican activists would be proud to see running to represent us.

    I know Clayton Thibodeau and agree he needs to replace Mary “Cap and Trade” “Rino” Bono. Do us all a favor and vote this Conservative Constitutional Candidate into office for the sake of our country. We need people like Clayton to help us take back our country!
