Everyone Hates the Cap-and-Trade Bill
Greenpeace just came out in opposition to the massive, 1,200-page bill the House is considering today. I say 1,200 pages, but it may have expanded to 1,500 overnight, as there's a rumor than 300 pages of amendments were added around 2 a.m.
Conservatives quickly took to Twitter to laud Greenpeace, which is opposing the bill for entirely different reasons than the Right, but nonetheless.
Thus, the cap-and-trade bill solved global warming for free, before even being passed, because Hell hath officially frozen over.
The House has been slugging it out all morning on the floor over this monstrosity. After their moment of silence for Michael Jackson, they'll be back to it. Americans for Prosperity has a target list for voters to call, and activists on Twitter have been referring followers to the Congressional switchboard.
President Obama himself called fence-sitters yesterday, but the winds do not feel favorable for Pelosi's giant, sweeping overhaul of the energy economy. If the bill narrowly passes, as was predicted yesterday, it's likely to make life difficult for a bunch of Blue Dog Democrats in 2010.
“as there’s a rumor than 300 pages of amendments were added around 2 a.m. “
According to Republicans on C-SPAN today, the amendment (200+ additional pages) was delivered at 3:09 AM this morning.
This doesn’t need to be rushed, it needs to be SLOOOWED DOWN!

Ok, that makes sense then. Evidently there is something in the bill to make EVERYONE mad.

I wouldn’t insult our Canine-American friends by comparing them to the sewer in Washington.
What we have in the House is a collection of sewer rats!
not harsh enough....
They should call this turd the “Congressional Personal Interest Enrichment Act”
“I wonder why Greenpeace opposes it.”
It does not go far enough. it only rolls back CO2 a little, from GP’s point of view. It should reduce CO2 about 10 times more for them to be happy.
Plus, the bill still allows for some choice, and corporations can still profit.
“Everyone Hates the Cap-and-Trade Bill”
Everyone, that is, except those enemies and traitors in Congress.
And yet again.... I hear NO REPUBS on TV speaking AGAINST this and explaining the CONSERVATIVE view on the fictional Global Warming.
That’s true too. But then again, mostly the propaganda machine is too busy talking about Michael Jackson. They love the mindless distractions to push their tripe thru the treasonous halls of Congress.
Gawd, I hope you’re right.
Well acording to Rush we may just lose this in the last 2 minutes of the 4th qtr. Like Mark Levin says, can we stop all this Blue Dog Democrat crap and go after anyone with D after their name with the same vigor. Pelosi thinks we are chumps with this Lucy and the football scam here. Watch the Dow crash 500pts Monday by close. Hey union coal miners in Pa, Ohio..Hope and Change baby! Hope you like dealing with the Obama administration Save our Home program as you have to choose between groceries and the mortgage payment on your house. I guess like my kids, the country has to learn a lesson the hard way.
They probably think it is too weak.
Here a new plan they might like:
Get rid of all non-solar transportation.
Make non-solar electrical generation illegal.
Ban windmills because a birdie might get hurt.
Ban the non-solar heating of homes and businesses.
Ban batteries because they contain dangerous chemicals.
Feel free to add your own.
Thus, the cap-and-trade bill solved global warming for free, before even being passed, because Hell hath officially frozen over... If the bill narrowly passes, as was predicted yesterday, it's likely to make life difficult for a bunch of Blue Dog Democrats in 2010.
