Sustainable Business ^

Posted on 12/29/2009 6:48:55 PM PST by Def Conservative

Moderate Senate Democrats have begun urging the White House to give up on a cap-and-trade climate change bill in 2010, according to Politico.

Senator Mary Landrieu (D-La.) is one of at least a half-dozen who do not want to take up the divisive issue in an election year after the battle over health care legislation has split voters.

I think they really just don’t want any scrutiny of it or of themselves.

Maybe Landrieu is just working her payoff early.

I can't believe that they are not in favor of this. My guess is that after seeing how easily Obama can be rolled, Landrieu and the other “moderate” Dems are opposing this until a multi-billion dollar “stimulus” for them and their state is added to the bill.

I hope the left pushes them to pass it...a defeated left is just what we need going into the 2010 and 2012 elections

But, if we don’t totally communize the US economy this year, the planet will overheat and we’ll all die, right?

Harry, Nancy, and Obama could care less about the moderates. This is all about their agenda and the moderates should have realized this before cutting their own throats.

It is because they see their own annihilation before them.

Shoot, Mary “I got paid” Landrieu is merely holding out her grubby paw for another payoff that she will most certainly not be ashamed of taking.

“Well...Mr President I could never vote for”

“How’s 200 million sound?”

“Er, Mr President I got 400 million for Healthcare Socialization, I’m no cheap tramp you know”

“No, but we both know you are a tramp Mary, we are just dickering over price”

Moderate Democrat, Blue dog Democrat … in the end they are all Democrats and will vote as such as is evidenced by the latest Obamacare vote.

When you use the word “slimey” I think of slugs and snakes. I guess it is a fit description for the Democrat slimeballs.

The Health care Bill has already raised the crap tide until they are up over their hip boots in it.
