Kill bill.

Bottom line? The global warming hoax bill is a massive tax increase on the American people.

Dingy is a slimy bastard. More here.

But the legislation's supporters cite studies that forecast a much smaller impact. The Bush administration's Energy Information Agency, for example, puts the additional monthly cost to consumers at only $2.50 a month by 2030 and $6 by 2050.

Are you kidding me!!! There must of been some truly wacky assumptions, perhaps cold fusion powers the country, to come up with numbers like that. If the costs are so low then people will not change their behavior and CO2 admissions will not change.

In my youth it was Hubert Humphrey. These days it’s Bush and Warner and Lieberman. Why can such blow-hards do so much damage, then die leaving producers who never even knew them to do so much heavy lifting?

[JLS]

Let’s see:

1. Cap and Trade policies for reducing pollution are more efficient than command and control by government policies.

2. No policy is good when it is reacting to a hoax.

So as 1 indicates, IF we had a warming problem great enough to accept the harm to the economy that reducing CO2 levels would cause, Cap and Trade would be an efficient policy. However a policy changed that would hurt the economy due to a hoax is a bad idea.

As an aside, why do people in countries who would benefit from global warming like Canada and Sweden support policies reduce it?????

[Slump Tester]

We could really use this bill to show how stupid the rats are, but wait - RINO McCain is in favor of it too.

Nevermind.

“Warner, whose retirement in January will end a 30-year Senate career, opposed a similar bill in 2005. He has told reporters that he changed his mind after hearing from retired military officers concerned that climate change will trigger political upheaval around the world and draw the United States into new conflicts.”

“So I decided to destroy the economy”

This guy is delusional.

I can’t even express the degree of contempt I have for the proponents of this utter crap. No debate, just vote into being one the most comprehensive expansions of Federal government since the New Deal. Never mind the economic effects, the feasibility, or anything else. Just vote it into being slam bam, thank you ma’am.

These aren’t just deluded liberal morons, these are genuine certified Stalinist collectivist idealogues determined to bring the US to its’ economic knees. Now comes Barbara Boxer! Easily one of the two or three stupidest members of Congress by any measure, her support alone is enough to make the sheer boneheadedness of this crap self-evident on its face.

This stuff genuinely scares me. Who among us has the energy to fight this crap and the dozens of other pieces of dangerous redux Stalinism nonsense each and every time they may be introduced as potential bills...next time, no doubt, as an obscure amendment to some bill authorizing something utterly trivial so as to become law completely under the radar, by stealth.

DAMN these people, damn them to hell.

I don't believe a word of this. What cr*p. Or maybe he's referring to Westley Clark - he's enough of a fool to make up something like this.

We need to give Mitch McConnell, Republican Senate Minority Leader, a big vote of thanks for his efforts to block the madness that is the Warner/Lieberman CO2 Cap & Trade bill.

The man is a genius at political infighting and is, almost singlehandedly, thwarting the Reid/Pelosi march to a Socialist America.
