...Democrats are realizing that Americans do not want a cap and trade bill and the devastating economic effects that would go along with it. In response, Dems are dropping the term cap-and-trade to try and spin the bill in a new way.
Senate Democrats hired Drew Westen, an expert at discovering political messaging which tugs at the heart strings of American voters. He told policy makers to create patriotic and national defense themes in order to gather support for energy proposals.
These desperate actions are the last ditch efforts of a dying proposal. Reid and the Democratic Congress do not seem to understand that America does not want this bill because it would increase taxes, destroy jobs and increase the cost of energy for businesses and individuals.
It can be repackaged and reworded, but the cap and trade bill still remains disastrous to Americas future.

In theory, no one is above the law. But in practice, the ruling class almost never pays for their crimes, i.e. Ted Kennedy. Hell, not only do they not pay for them, others in the ruling class protect them and then promote them.
Lawrence Tribe was found out to have not written a book the he supposedly authored. Then it was further found out that the research assistant that wrote it for him plagiarized much of it. The dean of Harvard Law School had a mock investigation, cleared everyone involved, and then sealed the investigation so that no one would know what a sham it was.
That dean is Elena Kagan and Lawrence Tribe is now the dean of Harvard Law School.
lol that makes me want to vomit...and thats just what we have controlling everything..elite ruling class not matter how we vote.
Well, that's wrong at the outset. Import tariffs have been enacted a couple of times in the past by Congress as a means of controlling certain nations' access to American markets and each time they were enacted, they backfired and were quietly rolled back.
Cap and Trade doesnt have a specific appeal to any place. Instead its going towards a disparate sect of Environmental extremists, and crooks who are knowingly pushing fraud.
Thanks, professor, I already know that. Now that we are back on topic again, my original comment related to the comment in parentheses that Congress to Decapitate American Trade With Lies and I posted a reply that essentially asked what else is new?? Virtually EVERYTHING that the Dems do is concealed by lies. So, I ask again, how is this different from what Congress (in general) and the Dems (in particular) NORMALLY do??
