MSNBC reports Harry Reid does not have enough votes to pass the cap-and-trade bill.

[moose2004]

Harry Reid knows this bill will never pass the senate due to it's rules regarding "climate control" treaties and laws. See what Jim Inhofe had to say about it in the Oklahoma Farm Report:

Beam me to Planet Gore !

"MSNBC reports Harry Reid does not have enough votes to pass the cap-and-trade bill."

IIRC Pelosi said the same thing a few days ago...

[mike-zed]

Stretch didn’t have the votes last week either.

[Always Right]

Thanks God....If this passed, any chance of an economic recovery was doomed. As much as i want the Democrats thrown out of office for stupidity, i don’t want America to have to be destroyed in the process.

Keep the pressure on the Senate. Let’s keep them against this ridiculous bill.

[Virginia Ridgerunner]

Yeah, but the Senate’s a different animal, even if it’s Rat controlled.

[WorkerbeeCitizen]

I think dingy Harry is sandbagging us.

[JavaJumpy]

Propaganda to get us to back down.

Obama wasn’t supposed to be elected President, either.

[Erik Latranyi]

I think dingy Harry is sandbagging us.

Agreed. Keep the pressure up on your Senators!

This will pass in some form. It also can be stopped, or at least paired down in 2010 when most of these clowns are voted out. Obamacare is a different story. Once everyone gets their “free” health care, there’s no taking it away.

With 8 Republicans in the House voting for this bill....I'm almost certain that the Senate turncoats will show up.....

I am beginning to dislike republicans more than democrats... At least I know what to expect from a democrat.

[shankbear]

Collins and the other biotch whose name escapes me can be counted in the democrat votes.

[Bahbah]

That would be Olympia Snowe.

[Maine Mariner]

I will be on the phone to the offices of both members on Monday!!

[nhwingut]

They say they have 55 votes. If they charter in Kennedy and Byrd from ICU that’d be 57 votes. Seat Al-Franken and 58. Still two short. Easy pickings for Obama. A bbq or ballgame invite or something will flip a couple of rinos.

[NCBraveheart]

YET.

[bustinchops]

This legislation will impact ME very negatively, as it will all of New England.

[tobyhill]

Obama “clean energy transformation make possible the creation of millions of new jobs.”

Keyword, “possible”. The only guarantee here is that electricity, gas and food cost are going up.

[quesera]

Amen!!

And may he never have the votes to pass this horrendous bill.
