Carbon Offset Credits...it is a tax, a huge one, the largest money grab in American history

Al Gore has become a global warming alarmist and liberal “sacred-cow.” He somehow he got Congress to listen to his “Chicken Little” bull crap and the Senate wrote a bill in his honor to save the planet from an imaginary problem that is based on an as yet still unproven theory. Unfortunately, the solution he proposed is real, it is real bad for America and it is called Cap-and-Trade.

Want to know why the Senate ever wrote the bill in the first place?

Because they are so bad at balancing the budget that they need Cap-and-Trade to help them...to the tune of almost $7 trillion dollars. That is why they are willing to sacrifice your future with that huge stimulus package, so they come closer to balancing the budget and claim they saved the environment all at the same time. This is just one of the ways that Barack Obama intends to cut the deficit in half, but he won’t admit it.

Do what so many others and I have done and email as many members of Congress as you can, voice your displeasure. Carbon Offset Credits...it is a tax, a huge one, the largest money grab in American history and I call it for what it is....a huge crock of crap!

More marxism enabling initiatives. This will be the norm under the Obama administration because he himself is a maxist ideolog.

Expect every former marxist oriented lpiece of legislation and treaty and act to be put on his desk for signature.

“Cap and Trade” is a bigger scam than the Nigerian email bank account scam that so many morons fell for AND ARE STILL FALLING FOR.

The truth has broke cover -— Pay more in taxes to the government, so government scientists can pretend to control the weather.

I wonder what part of “pay more in taxes to the government” do the Obamaloons not understand.

Hey I thought cap and trade was supposed to be trading, helping mother Earth and all that rot gut, not just paying taxes .... HeHeHe -- Nice way to genuflect into what is really going on with the scam.

Shouldn't we demand to know exactly what the reductions in CO2 are going to be per billion in indulgences, err ahh, new taxes paid is. Looks like Obama dropped CO2 reduction from the argument, since it's just not going to happen.

It's prety much the same as the "Carbon Tax' moonbat liberals in Canada tried to implement in Canada, but cost them a humiliating defeat in the last election instead.

Obama's election is that same nightmare, except it has become reality thanks to corrupt media and a stupid populace.

Is it dated 1984?
Is the title “Last Nail In Coffin”?
Is Lucifer a co-sponsor?

...so many questions, so few bullets.

Thanks to a Republican filibuster by Senator Mitch McConnell, Jeff Sessions, Larry Craig

ahhhh, so that's why they attacked Craig! Here's hoping there's room for another filibuster, for as long as it takes, 'til the Last Chance election of 2010 if necessary!

I think that this is Obama’s throw away item at least for this year.

Came across this Obama quote today(ht National Review).

“Under my plan of a cap and trade system electricity rates would necessarily skyrocket, even, you know, regardless of what I say about whether coal is good or bad, because I’m capping greenhouse gases, coal powered plants, you know, natural gas, you name it, whatever the plants were, whatever the industry was, they would have to retrofit their operations. That will cost money. They will pass that money on to consumers”.
