The problem with making your own legislation is that it will have no chance of passing given the current composition of the house. The left instinctively shys away from drilling for oil because they associate oil production with big multinational business and pollution, and they automatically shy from nuclear plants because nuclear power is “bad” (of course, there is no logic in this thinking, because its all done on emotion rather than reason, but that is how left-wingers work). BUT, if you append these proposals onto whatever bullcrap type climate change bill they are pushing, they are in a quandary. Nuclear power is indisputably “carbon-neutral”, and increasing oil production is indisputably good for the economy (as well as improving security). So how can they oppose such measures in a bill that is supposed to improve quality of life and reduce the amount of CO2 being produced? I can put up with them reducing industrial pollution, not because of the miniscule effect (if any) its going to have on climate but because reducing pollution is a darn good thing to do anyway. The easiest way for most businesses to reduce pollution is just simply to become more efficient.

Now YOU are doing it ... WHAT POLLUTION????? You sound just like Graham ... so you propose to give in and give the libs the "ace" that there is carbon (man made) pollution so we can slip "carbon neutral" nuclear into the package? And if you would be naive enough to give them that ace, you've also lost the ability to take control of the EPA, you actually strengthen the EPA's position for the faux "CO2 reduction folly".

MAKE YOUR OWN LEGISLATION, make "THEM" come to "YOU". Right now we don't have the votes ... so vote "KNOW" (no) to any legislation even having a hint of leaning left. Draw a line in the sand and say, "That's it, here's our ideas, we reject yours and are not going any further [LEFT!]." The Dems will say, "hey, just one more 3 inch step and ..." NO!!! We have already appeased them and taken too many baby steps toward toward the left trying to appease them. The result is pure Socialism right here in our own precious USA! Look at the facts, when has giving in to the left resulted in anything for the right?

Giving in to Democrats and "moderates" is like appeasing Iran. You give in, they make promises, nothing happens and you have to give in more and make more promises. Soon there is NOTHING LEFT of your original position. Its time for some backbone, some lines in the sand, and maybe a little courage. There IS NO man-made pollution. CO2 is NOT causing a problem it is only .03% of the atmosphere and it is needed by the ecological flora for survival. Why don't you suggest the Democrats go after bubble gum ... the bubbles have CO2 in them! Now there's a real change you can believe in! Start laughing at these people instead of taking them seriously and "working with" them ... they are a JOKE and what they are doing to this country is a CRIME!
