Good news, for now, on Lieberman-Warner

Even the Democrats are torn by divisions. Not every one subscribes to Algore's thesis a planetary emergency justifies turning the U.S into a Third World country.

Even people in EuROPe have finally figured this junk out. It’s just another tax scheme........

[rrrod]

During these dark days I would think FRs can go the extra mile and call/email the very few Senators and members of congress that are taking a stand. I will.

[rhombus]

With Barack Obama already facing an uphill fight in states like Ohio, Pennsylvania, Indiana, and so on, they can ill afford to have the party associated with efforts to push the Rust Belt and the Midwest into a painful, years-long recession.

There's intellectual honesty for you. Either this bill is essential tough medicine for the country or it isn't and Congress needs a new energy "strategy"... not let's wait until after the election to screw people whose votes we need.

[YellowRoseofTx]

It’s my understanding that the libs had to bring this forth to satisfy their radical base, but didn’t want or expect it to go anywhere......at least not right now.

[Blood of Tyrants]

I tried to warn that Warner was a RINO....

[savedbygrace]

The Dims have been whining for many months now that the Bush administration has no energy policy.

Lieberman-Warner is apparently the Dims’ energy policy. You want energy? Give us your money first. It’s the Dims’ Way.

the Senate’s ongoing clash over judicial nominations ate up precious floor time

That damned Constitution. It makes the Senate eat up precious floor time with stupid judicial nominations when these expert politicians could be managing the weather for us.

By the way, vote for me. I'll make it 71 degrees every day.

“drive home the connection with voters”

some of the democrat voters that i talk to are tv-viewers

and even tho’ i read part of inhofe’s wsj article to them,

they think i’m lying!

[Sybeck1]

Where’s McCain??? He would gladly sign tis into law if he was in the big seat.....

"With Barack Obama already facing an uphill fight in states like Ohio, Pennsylvania, Indiana, and so on, they can ill afford to have the party associated with efforts to push the Rust Belt and the Midwest into a painful, years-long recession."

Post-election if Obama can get himself elected, this will suddenly be no problem, and nobody will care if the Rust Belt and the Midwest are pushed into ANOTHER "painful, years-long recession."

Of course, if Obama isn't elected, it will still be Jimmy Carter II with McCain in the White House since he'll be as pleased, maybe more, to carry the water for the global warming hoax as Obama will be.

Really a pity we have NO CHOICE in the coming election.

[DJtex]

I really don't get Dingy Harry. The Senate is already so tilted towards time wasting and yet he brings forward a massive, multi-trillion dollar socialization of the American economy on a Monday, and then wants to eliminate debate over it and force a vote by Friday. The 'Dims know that Bush will veto this bill so they thought they could get a free pass to show their "Green" credentials.

But now, Harry Reid realizes that this bill will hurt them a lot, whether it passes or not.

[kabar]

The bill had no chance to begin with. It was just political posturing before the November elections. The Dems decided not to pursue it any further now because it was becoming a political liability and would have forced some of the Dems to go on the record on positions they would like to keep hidden until after the general elections. Rest assured it will resurface under Obama or McCain and will probably pass.

[july4thfreedomfoundation]

Yeah, he probably would.

48 senators voted for this cap and trade socialist scheme that would create 100,000 government inspector “jobs” to annoy and harass 5 million businesses. This would be an unmitigated disaster if this were to pass. The price of goods and energy would zoom upwards.

John “I served in Vietnam” Kerry was on the radio a short while ago; he said this bill is going to be re-introduced in 2009, when there’s a new president (and probably more democrats in Congress).

It’s time to take our country back from these crazies.

[Ingtar]

Is there a role call I can find somewhere?

[RockinRight]

Rest assured it will resurface under Obama or McCain and will probably pass.

Not if we do like we did for the Amnesty bill...

[kabar]

The fix is in. The bill will pass and so will amnesty. We have a better shot at stopping both if Obama is in the WH. The battle will be fought in the House. The senate is hopeless.

As much as the Democrats benefit from a biased liberal media, there are times when it hurts them. Every so often the media goes berserk cheering for something that only Bi-Coastal Snootypant Leftists support. The media hoopla tricks the Democrats into believing their own BS. They'll respond to the cheers from the reporters by supporting something that in fact is electoral death. It took them decades to figure out that the New York Media and the Average Voter were miles apart on the subject of gun control. It wasn't until Al Gore lost his own home state that the light bulb went on.

You watch: they'll do the same thing with all this Green Weenie stuff. Everybody wants to SaveThePlanet™, but nobody wants to lose their job. Give people a choice between those things, and the Green Weenies will lose. But you'd never know that from listening to NBC News.
