Global Warming on Free Republic

Bad things are said to happen on Friday the thirteenth. This year the thirteenth fell on a Thursday in May but that did not stop the gremlins on Capital Hill from creating mischief. The two gremlins hardest at work are Senators Lieberman and Kerry. They have introduced a nine hundred and eighty-seven page bill called the American Power Act; but it should more aptly be called the American Power Grab.
Both Lieberman and Kerry know that the bill is a sugar coated version of Cap and Trade and both men know that the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) has said that that this sort of bill is a job killer. The sugar coating is a few concessions to offshore drilling and nuclear power. These men know that this bill is a bitter pill and needs a lot of sugar for anyone to swallow it.

“The American Power Act”
CORRECTION: “The American [Disempowerment] Act”
This is going to bankrupt us in the North, and fry you in the south. This abomination MUST BE STOPPED! Lieberman, you should be ashamed of yourself!
This bill is unconstitutional since Article 1 Section 8 does not specifically grant Congress the power to regulate energy or the environment! People need to hammer LIEberman and Kerry on this point!
A 987 page bill!
I wonder how big it would be if they had to write it out in longhand like our early congressmen did. With the advent of the computer and printer these bills are growing to outrageous length. Is it an attempt to ensure as few people as possible actually read the bills?
This is the perfect bill if your goal is to drive a sword through the heart of the American economy. It has become obvious that this is the left’s goal.
That is so they can bury the really crazy parts of it.
What idiot keeps saying that Lieberman is the ONLY SANE DEMOCRT???
When push comes to shove he’s as bad as the rest.
Only on national security matters is he somewhat sane.
John Kerry has long been a traitor to this country.
Yes: A Traitor. Why would anyone join such a fool and coward as John Kerry to sponsor any bill. The man who executed a wounded Viet Cong, shot the man in cold blood , then came back to accuse other Americans of war crimes. Threee band aid wounds and he came home to attack real men.Now he attacks the country with a bill that is ridiculous on it’s face and Lieberman joins with him. It shows the malfeasance of the whole of the Senate that they would even stay in the same room with the stench that is John Kerry.
And - we can find out what’s in the bill after it’s passed.
Last month in Michigan 4 democrats introduced for bills aimed at forcing production cuts from power and gas producers. What that will do is drive up prices while cutting overhead costs for the producers. Then the producers can sell carbon credits for the CO2 they aren’t producing.
While the energy producers are making out like bandits for not producing other industries will face higher costs and be forced to get rid of some of their workforce.
CO2 drives the climate is dead.
Set my CO2 free.
Tell Congress to declare CO2 a non pollutant.
Take it out of the EPA’s hands.
The American Disembowelment Act.
Global Warming on Free Republic
I guess the commies did not get the memo their gig is up?
Hell Eric Holder will not even read a 10 page document. Thus, I don’t expect anyone in congress to read this. Par for the course.
