By now you've heard the news: the House has passed the cap & trade bill that will saddle Americans with thousands of dollars in new taxes, fees and costs each year.
It's just the latest big government, quasi-socialistic policy that the Obama/Pelosi/Reid team are trying to force through in their efforts to remake America into a nation that our Founding Fathers wouldn't recognize.
Today there will be protests all across the nation against this measure - and the Our Country Deserves Better Committee will be having our staff, leadership and supporters out joining the resistance against these un-American leftist policies. And we're going to let those RINO's who voted for the bill know that they will not enjoy ANY support from conservatives when they betray our principles.
Help us grow this effort to fight back and take our country back! This week we finish up our latest TV ads that will take on the Obama/Pelosi/Reid regime and tell Americans the time is NOW to stand up, speak out and fight back.
This was sent to Durbin, McCain, McConnell and Graham is next. Please go to link.....and steal the verbiage if it suits you.
How come, if the press called GW Bush a “Neo-Con” - short for “Neo-Conservative”, then how come they are not calling 0bama a “Neo-Marxist” or “Neo-Socialist”? The label thus used is FAR more fitting for 0bama than “Neo-Con” was for GW.
0bama the “NEOSOC”. Or even better - a “NEO-COM”...
Shouldn't take long for the entire country to be totally denuded of trees thanks to Cap and Tax.
Like NEO-COM better since I believe him to be a hard core communists with the brains of a Muslim radical.
Save the neo part. Obama is a freakin’ communist!
Who cares, since they will not even blink because they are near their goal of turning us into a copy of the Soviet Union.
The Tea Parties are neat but even if 90 percent of the population attended them the politicians would still go ahead with their communist agenda.
There are probably only two paths to follow. One is subservience to the State and there are not enough real patriots out there to perform the second path.
The Dims will shove everything through before the next election because they know it will be impossible for the Pubbies to kill any of the laws and if the Pubbies get the whole ball of wax back in 2012 they will not have the stones to take us back to a free nation.

This is what Cap % Tax is really about...and it renders our Congress complicit in a RICO activity.......
from Milwguy
While watching CNBC this morning the whole cap and tax scheme crystalized in my mind. They had a guest host there from UBS and the he was espousing the Messiah’s economic plans. he went into the whole green jobs thing, and then two Congressmen came on. The one anti tax and kill Congressmam pointed out how ludicrous the UBS bankers arguments about green jobs was. Like the Spanish study just out from their ‘green economy’ showing for every green job created, two regular ones are lost. Also that it took subsidies of 750K per job to create each job.
The whole time the UBS guy on split screen just sat there and smiled, his smile getting bigger the longer the Congressman spoke. The UBS guy knows what the MSM and most americans do not, and this came to me like a bolt of lightning as I watched the UBS guy smile.
Cap and Trade is the replacement for Subprime and securitized mortgages, 50 to 1 leverage the banks used the last 10 years, etc. Without a housing bubble, the only way the bankers can continue to make money at our expense is cap and trade. Why? BECAUSE THEY WILL BE RUNNING THE MARKET FOR CARBON OFFSETS!!! The UBS’s, Goldman Sachs, etc of the world will game the system the same way they made liar loans, 110% mortgages, etc.
Cap and Tax is the bankers next big thing, and the main reason Enron went down and the Jeff Skilling and Andy Fastows of the world were hauled off to jail was cap and tax, not manipulating the energy prices.
Kenny Lay, Skilling and company actually met with Clinton in the White House to start this ball rolling. Once the bankers found out about this, they had to stop them by any means necessary to keep the pot of gold for themselves.
The smile on the UBS bankers face was like the cat who caught the canary, he can taste the money they will make by selling nothing but air. No cost, 100% profit. To the corrupt bankers, it does not get better than that.
This came to me this morning in the 47th District Republican Newsletter - defector Dave Reichert’s District.
All is not lost yet. 17% of the Democrats voted “No” in the house. If the same ratio holds in the Senate, then 10 of the 58 Democrats may vote “No”. If we lose the same percentage of Republicans to the “Yes” side we would lose 2. The vote could then end up as 50 to 48 and the two independents could make it a tie in which case Biden would cast the vote to pass the legislation. We can hope an extra Democrats votes “No” or we don’t lose any Republicans in the Senate. The point is the Senate will have time to take a closer look at the content of the bill. We can hope but it isn’t going to be defeated if we let the environmentalists pound the members of the senate without the conservatives stepping in as well.
This is the 1994 Assault Weapons Ban gone exponential. This will pick up more Hispanic votes than all the immigration pandering hype ever dreamt of. AGW is the domain of big bankers who will skim their portion of the cap and tax and a very small cult of white libs with serious mental issues about personal status. Played right this is the iceberg which will sink mommy prof liberalism.
Neo simply means “New”...
Is there a list of industries that would suffer most from C&T ?
“The leftists are about to take away much more of your well earned money for the long-term, so, please donate your money to us today!” Yea, great.
They’ve got to have 60 because the Republicans can filibuster this thing.
What prevents other countries from bidding up the price of a carbon credit, to the point that we cannot afford our own energy, and our industries cannot compete with imported manufactured goods?
What if China simultaneously dumps all of their treasury notes and trades them for American carbon credits? What then?
