For the first time in history, a fatally flawed global-warming cap-and-trade bill passed out of the United States Senate Environment and Public Works (EPW) Committee. Democrats, led by Chairman Barbara Boxer (D.-Calif.), approved the Lieberman-Warner Climate Security Act of 2007 (S 2191) by a vote of 11 to eight December 5.

Serious Flaws

While the outcome of the vote in committee was never in question -- since Democrats hold the majority -- it did provide Republicans the opportunity to expose many of the serious flaws of this bill. The fact is this bill is simply all economic pain for no climate gain: Numerous analyses have placed the costs at trillions of dollars. Even if one accepts the dire claims of man-made global warming, this bill will not have a measurable impact on the climate.

Spring = Algore screaming the climate is changing

Summer = GWBush should have approved Kyoto

Fall = it is global climate change, not global warming

Winter = global warming is causing nuclear winter

Repeat...

Stop global seasons.

What about the vast majority of people who vote Democrat?

Who are they and where do they come from?

They're folks who connect to democrats via the idea of class envy and getting someone in power to redistribute wealth, give them work-free retirement years, and whatever health-care their sin-wracked bodies may require until they die.

Take my sister, for example--please.

There was never a more fearful-of-becoming-a-bag-lady SOS this world ever produced. She basically doesn't want to work as hard as her mother did, and since sis's husband traded her in for a fifteen-years-younger model twenty years ago, she has little self-esteem and just wants payback.

She's rabidly demoncrat and loves Philadelphia since they're all Democrats there.

Boxer, Feinstein, Pelosi, etc., are all multi-millionaires who lived in beautiful houses. They and their far-left enviro whackos could care less about job loss. They want to live in beauty and assume that everyone else wants pristine beauty AT ALL COSTS.

Plus, their friends will get million/billion$ contracts.

NO, NO, NO...
The libs want us to STOP changing the climate. Can’t you see? It makes perfect sense. It’s a completely different thing. Really.
If we can change the climate, we can UNCHANGE the climate. But if we can’t change the climate like you say, then everything my esteemed Senator and raving lunatic Barbara Boxer stands for will be wasted. Get it?
That’s why the Rats won in 2006. No wait, it was Iraq. No wait, it was Mark Foley. No wait, it was Macaca.
Oh heck, I don’t know.
Never mind...
