Unemployment in Charlottesville is 7%. It’s totally irresponsible to do anything that might make it worse.
All of the current crop of Dem congressfolk that took a seat by virtue of a thin margin are one-term wonders. Without Duh Won’s color-aware cadre of voters, these folk would be selling shoes at Pay less. If unemployment is still bumping 10% next July, most incumbents of all stripes are toast.
So if your Rep is listening, be sure to tell him. By the same token, if your Rep is ignoring your wishes, feel free to mention that his political life is about to change.
There things in the bill will cause oil to go $200 or higher, such as an anti-fracking of wells clause in it, that will kill well development in this country.
It’s totally irresponsible to do anything that might make it worse.

Absolutely right, however if the cap and trade fails it can’t possibly make it worse regardless of who voted in favor of it.
Unfortunatly, those jobs are in other countries, other countries, other countries, other countries!!!
It didn’t scare them all that much......
They’re delusional. And gleefully committing political suicide as a result. 2010 will be like 1994, only moreso.
Truly amazing that someone suffering from terminal stupidity like this guy displays could be elected to anything. I suspect "his gift" from his constituents in the next election will be an early retirement (even with the help of ACORN) before he becomes fully vested in his pension at taxpayer expense.
Larry Sabato is doing his job for the Democrats here. We have to attack now, because we know that by next year, the job situation will be better, and the democrats will say it was because of all the bills they passed this year, even though what they are doing is making things worse.
If they had actually implemented Kyoto in 1997, the Democrats would be pointing to the last 10 years of cooling as proof that what they did was correct.
Democrats AREN’T going to win on this becuase (no matter how much someone wishes it): Government intervention into the market ~never~ produces any good changes.
THS WILL CAUSE LOSS OF JOBS, and the so called “green jobs” will by and large, never apear!
Taxing the air we breathe is not a gift. It's outright robbery based on a outrageous LIE propagated by a bunch of Marxist elitists who want to establish global governance and sieze control of all the worlds energy resources.
He shouldnot only loose his seat, he should be tried for treason for attempting to sell out our nations sovereignty, strip away the peoples freedom and enslave them under some unelected global governance elitists.
Evidently this guy is a “true believer”...you know, a useful idiot. Either that or Pelosi offered him a ton.
In the middle of this story is something the RNC and conservatives should emulate - outside groups are running advertising THANKING the people that voted for Cap and Trade. So the RATS not only have the media working for them they get a million dollars worth of advertising in their district as well.
I make this prediction: Perriello will be re-elected.
I also make this two-part prediction. First, in 2010, the vast majority of voters will remember clearly where they were when they heard that Michael Jackson had died. Second, in 2010, the vast majority of voters won’t even know that a global warming bill was ever proposed, let alone that it passed.
We are, sadly, looking at the last gasp of the American Republic. We are now witnessing the birth of a type of American socialist imperium.
So could America.
