People we live in a different America you need to read the stitches on a fastball at all times. There are several reasons why the Senate has come out saying they have no where near the amount of votes to pass the cap and trade bill.They never would have passed it through the House if they didn't intend to jam it through the Senate.
One of the reasons why they and media are saying there are not enough votes is to temper the outrage of the millions that made calls last week to their congressman and women.
But more importantly they know what the stock market reaction would be if they were open about the current condition of the bill.
They need to find an opportune time to pass it maybe a time when the likes of Exxon report there quarterly earnings report where they can target the rich big oil profit machine.
Ideally they would bring it to the floor at the last second while the media congers up a big story maybe an international event that could even be tied to the sell off in the market where the blame could be redirected elsewhere.
The Senate has this bill in the chamber locked and loaded waiting for the time to fire this devastating legislation aimed at the heart of your freedoms and liberties. Till then the market is sold on the idea that bill wont pass.
Don't be fooled or caught off guard by left wing media continue to call all Senators and tell them we don't want a compromise to this bill we want it defeated.
It had beeter NOT pass.
The truly will be the DEATH of ANY manufacturing jobs here as well as more companies LEAVING for off shore sanity.
What will we do after we have socialized medicine, cap-n-tax, and immigration “reform,” ENDA, FOCA, EFCA, hate crimes, etc.? Oh right, we’ll have a teaparty.
Yep you know they will jam it through last second where the people arent looking. What has happened to my country?
Good point after all these things are passed we will march in the streets and all we can say we told you so then get in line with the rest of the cattle.
Well, at least we have Honduras! :)
That’s why harry Reaid says he will bring it up later in the years. he intends to run this thing through like a greased pig in th middle of the night./
They know the thing sucks to high heaven, they know the damage it will do to America. There can be but one reason they would pass such atravesty. They are going to get rich off it at the expense of the taxpaying public.
It’s a two sided attack the EPA can institute many of these laws based on the Supreme Court ruling 5-4 that Co2 is a pollutant.
They don’t care how many people call. Listen to what Pelosi said after they passed it. “We passed transformational legislation, which will take us into the future. For some it was a very difficult vote because the entrenched agents of the status quo were out there full force, jamming the lines in their districts and here, and they withstood that.” —House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) on cap and tax
Do not fall for the “the bill is dead” line being passed around by some in the Senate and the media. They simply do not want a repeat of Friday when Americans shut down the switchboard at the house and inundated congress-critters with calls to not vote for the bill.
Clearly our elected officials could care less what the American people want, that should not deter us from spending every single day calling, sending letters and emails and even personal visits to our senators.
Ditto those remarks. It ain’t dead until this session of Congress ends.
Thats the point of my post they will pass it when we arent looking
