The House rejected a bill Tuesday aimed at repealing a slew of light bulb efficiency standards that conservatives have targeted as an egregious example of federal overreach.
The Better Use of Light Bulbs (BULB) Act, sponsored by Rep. Joe Barton (R-Texas), failed on a 233-193 vote, with a two-thirds majority needed for passage.
The vote fell mostly along party lines, but five Democrats voted in favor of the bill and 10 Republicans voted against the bill. One Republican voted "present."
So the Republicans wasted all their time on this issue, just to fail in the part of Congress they have a large majority of.
Yep. Hopefully they eventually start to realize that failing to get things like this done is NOT going to help their chances to maintain and/or increase their numbers in 2012.
No longer have to sit here sweating wondering of my electric bill is going to double at the hands of these environmental nut cases.

I was surprised they bothered to have the vote if they didn't have the necessary amount. Unless they've decided to once again have legislation that amounts to nothing more than symbolism since it can't even get out of the part of Congress they control by a wide margin.

Yes, while seniors starve and America is in an economic crisis, Retards worry about light bulbs.

Comparing illegal immigration to a bill involving light bulbs. Anything to deflect away from a GOP failure, or what?
Seems to be one of the Right's favorite tactics. This isn't the only board where I've witnessed it either.
