Uh, I thought maybe my new meds had me hallucinating for a second. But, as we can see, it's only symbolic for now since the lyin' king already said he'll veto it. Despite the isis/isil/is brutal attack in Paris last week, I'm still kinda hoping for a blizzard to hit around Dec 1 through 12 for the climate suckfest.

Who are the 2 in the GOP who voted for the Marxist point of view?

[RIghtwardHo]

Yeah. Meaningless vote. You KNOW some of those are just campaign trail fodder.

But the fight against these rules is also happening in federal court where there is a better chance to defeat the plans of the president.

lol

What the hell?! Since when did Congress become the branch of government that needs the President’s approval to stop himself? That’t not how it works! He needs Congress’s approval for his plans!

Flashback: Obama admitted energy prices would 'skyrocket' under his policies

Michael Bastasch

President Obama laid out his new plan to tackle global warming Tuesday. In 2008, he made comments about "bankrupting" coal plant owners and making energy prices "skyrocket."

"So if somebody wants to build a coal-powered plant, they can; it's just that it will bankrupt them, because they're going to be charged a huge sum for all that greenhouse gas that's being emitted," Obama said during a meeting with the San Francisco Chronicle's editorial board.

"Under my plan of a cap-and-trade system, electricity rates would necessarily skyrocket. Even regardless of what I say about whether coal is good or bad," he added. "Because I'm capping greenhouse gases, coal power plants, you know, natural gas, you name it - whatever the plants were, whatever the industry was, they would have to, uh, retrofit their operations. That will cost money. They will pass that money on to consumers." ..."

From Politico, April, 2012

"If somebody wants to build a coal-fired power plant, they can. It's just that it will bankrupt them," Obama said, responding to a question about his cap-and-trade plan. He later added, "Under my plan ... electricity rates would necessarily skyrocket."

Of course, cap and trade is long dead. But coal-fired power plants are powering down nationwide, and they are blaming the Obama Environmental Protection Agency. The president's critics say proposed greenhouse gas regulations for future power plants are designed to cripple the coal industry.

And just like with another 2008 quote - Energy Secretary Steven Chu's famed call to "figure out how to boost the price of gasoline to the levels in Europe" - Republicans say the Chronicle clip shows what's really in the president's heart, that high electricity prices and the death of coal have always been Obama's goal.

Senate votes to kill Obama- climate rules(WHAT?!)

[Socon-Econ]

” ... The vote - 52-46 - was largely symbolic ... .”

****

What’s important is that the Republicans are not falling for the junk science behind global warming. Accept the junk science, and you lose the war.

keep making him veto stuff. Paint him and the RATS with the vetoes, then bury the RATS with it in the elections.
