Thank You Mark Schauer!

Paul Mirengoff reports at Powerline that Nancy Pelosi recently sent out an important email.

I am reliably informed that Speaker Nancy Pelosi's office sent an email to a number of lobbyists for corporations asking their companies to pay for "thank you" ads for ten Democrats who voted for the House cap-and-trade legislation. The ten Democratic members presumably are those most vulnerable in 2010 by virtue of their vote.

On that list was Michigan's Mark Schauer, representative for the 7th district.

Mark Schauer stuck his neck out in voting for the Michigan job killing Cap and Trade Bill. The bill will help to "necessarily" raise energy bills, will substantially increase the costs of all products produced or transported by means that use energy (magic carpets and wheelbarrows are still cool with it,) and will make it virtually impossible for people in Michigan to sell their homes in order to move to states where idiots like Schauer do not hold office.

While I could find no such advertisement in the online version of the Jackson Citizen Patriot I did run across this article that detailed televised thank yous that were to be playing the last few days in support of the lame congressman in his district. The televised advertisements were financed by George Soros' Americans United for Change.

I like it. First, George Soros does his best to prop up the good congressman. Then Nancy Pelosi's handpicked corporate lobbyists do their best to get the good Representative off the hook.

The real question will be, what do those in his district think?
