I just called Lindsey's offices...got a very sweet gal who listened patiently to my rant. Then I ended up leaving a voice mail on the DC line.

Here's my question: Is this a done deal? Does the President have to sign it? Does the House have to approve? If someone has more knowledge on the dealings of Congress, please advise. Thanks. ;)

“Is this a done deal? Does the President have to sign it? Does the House have to approve? If someone has more knowledge on the dealings of Congress, please advise. Thanks. ;)”

1) NOT a done deal.

2) Bush would have to sign.

3) House MUST agree

4) (Unasked) What it really does is absolutely da** nothing, since neither Bush or the House would agree and negotiations would take until doomsday or the elections (whichever first occurs). What it does is give the traitorcrats cover just when they need it the most.

My short two-word synopsis:

When and if it doesn’t pass, Dems can say the gang of 10 crafted a bipartisan bill and the Republicans stonewalled it.

I have no ‘inside’ knowledge. But the skinny that’s been floating around is that Bush is waiting for momentum to build. If it builds, he knows the country is serious. If it fizzles, then he won’t call. If Bush calls Pelosi without a mandate, he thinks it could backfire.

As for the senate stunt, it hurts the House some, but what really matters is whether momentum builds. My guess is that, with the shifting of gas prices, Bush is wondering how long people will want drilling. He’s trying to see what people will demand on Super Tuesday— lower carbon emissions or lower gas prices? We all know what people want— lower prices. But the Beltway Crowd is spun dizzy by college grads.

A caller shed light to Rush today what was going on in Grahamnesty’s office— Lindsey Graham apparently thinks that the House Rebels are ‘doing harm’, so he pulled his quiet stunt to keep them from losing 60 seats. Rush was furious at the tone deafness he ‘heard’. [Recalling the female caller who told him what the staffer said to her.]

Graham does deserve calls. People had to try several times to get through— a good sign.

So where does that leave us? A lot depends on how informed people already are. Do people on the streets actually fear global warming?
