Waxman Says Republicans are Like Terrorists

This happened yesterday and so far there’s no video:

California Rep. Henry Waxman, the top Democrat on the House Energy and Commerce Committee and the coauthor of the 2009 cap-and-trade climate change bill, decried efforts by the GOP to force the Obama administration into approving a permit for the Keystone XL Pipeline.

“They want to use legislation as a way to act like terrorists. They hold things as hostage,” Waxman said. “We almost couldn’t fund the government because Republicans wanted to hold that idea hostage, we almost couldn’t pay our debts because the Republicans wanted to hold that legislation hostage to their extreme agenda, and I wouldn’t be surprised if they scuttled this conference by trying to hold us hostage.”

This is literally being held up over concerns about global warming. So a country that needs jobs and energy is going to be denied them on the basis of carbon dioxide, which is not a pollutant, contributing to a small temperature increase over 100 years.

Most significantly, the failure to transfer this energy to the US does not mean the energy will lie untouched in the ground. It means that it will instead be sold to China where there are no pollution controls to speak of. So this decision will actually make things worse than otherwise. And for this, Republicans get labeled terrorists.

What’s with these liberals? If they can’t say something intelligent and back their statements with facts then they’ll use idiotic,baseless statements.

And they are supposed to be the intelligent ones?

Isn’t that “hate speech” from a POS congressman? If anybody ever did go “terrorism” on him, it would be like nothing his worthless a.. has ever seen.

Resign, Henry.

Thank goodness Waxman is really short. If people had to look up and see those nostrils, they would faint dead away.

March 20, 2012 is the six year anniversary of a certain Senator's statement about raising the debt limit, and how it represented a failure of leadership. Here it is:

"The fact that we are here today to debate raising America's debt limit is a sign of leadership failure. It is a sign that the U.S. Government can't pay its own bills. It is a sign that we now depend on ongoing financial assistance from foreign countries to finance our Government's reckless fiscal policies... Increasing America's debt weakens us domestically and internationally. Leadership means that "the buck stops here." Instead, Washington is shifting the burden of bad choices today onto the backs of our children and grandchildren. America has a debt problem and a failure of leadership. Americans deserve better."

- Sen. Barack Obama (D-IL), March 20, 2006

For those who have GOP representation in the House and Senate, and for that matter, every GOP candidate in every possible office, write them and encourage them to repeat that speech from 6 years ago WORD FOR WORD on the House floor, Senate floor, city hall, stump speech, etc. These bastards must be held to account.
