House Republicans Say "DON'T FARG WITH OUR LIGHT BULBS!!"

Bear in mind that this law originally passed with broad bipartisan support. Can anyone even pretend to argue that the Republicans are moving more and more to the right?

Also, important to note is the fact that flourescent bulbs aren't even being outlawed. They just need to adhere to higher efficiency standards. So what the hell are people even arguing about?

farging idiots.
