Let’s see how Senator Ma’am’s priorities work in this revealing clip from her speech earlier today in the Senate. We’ve had four terrorist attacks in less than a year, two of which succeeded in killing people and another two which only failed because of the incompetence of the terrorist. Iran is a year or less away from getting a nuclear weapon. Turkey is rapidly sliding towards Islamism. North Korea is doing their best to restart the Korean War.
And what keeps Barbara Boxer awake at night? A raging case of the vapors:
I’m going to put in the record, Madam President, a host of quotes from our national security experts who tell us that carbon pollution leading to climate change will be over the next 20 years the leading cause of conflict, putting our troops in harm’s way. And that’s why we have so many returning veterans who want us to move forward and address this issue, so we can create those new technologies that get us off this foreign oil.
This hyperbole comes from a desperate attempt to get her colleagues to push her cap-and-tax bill forward in the Senate, and the ridiculous claim that CO2 will somehow outweigh a nuclear Iranian mullahcracy and a global Islamist network for national-security concerns shows just how desperate Boxer has become. It won’t work, however. Democrats already won’t come out in public during recesses, thanks to voter anger over their profligate spending and the egg they’ve laid on the economy. They’re not going to charge forward on an economy-killing energy tax that will stifle what little growth we have at the moment, certainly not just a few months before the midterm elections. Heck, even Lindsey Graham has lost interest in global-warming policy:
On Tuesday, South Carolina Republican Lindsey Graham told reporters that he would vote against the climate bill he helped author. Now he’s going one step further. Graham, one of the few Republicans who claimed to care about climate change, now says global warming is no big deal.
Graham appeared on Wednesday at a press conference with Dick Lugar (R-Ind.), who was rolling out his own energy bill, a measure that relies heavily on expanding nuclear power and raising fuel economy standards without putting a cap on carbon dioxide emissions. Yesterday, Graham said he didn’t think any energy bill could get 60 votes this year because oil drilling has become too controversial. Today he decided, at the last minute, to back Lugar’s bill.
Reporters asked Graham several times about why he was supporting Lugar’s bill, when just a few months ago he had argued that the Senate shouldn’t pass a “half-assed” bill that lacked hard restrictions on carbon emissions. Graham replied that he now doesn’t think pricing carbon is that important. “The science about global warming has changed,” he noted, offhandedly. “I think they’ve oversold this stuff, quite frankly. I think they’ve been alarmist and the science is in question,” Graham told reporters. “The whole movement has taken a giant step backward.”
If cap-and-tax was on life support before now, Graham’s reversal pulls the plug. No wonder Boxer has a case of the vapors over, er, vapor.
Way to go, Babs!
Darn this woman is just plain dumb. The entire Democrat party is an embarrassment to the nation. If it wasn’t going to destroy us it might be funny.
I have no doubt that there are many coprophiliacs in California.
Well...actually she may be right...Leftist Marxist democrats VS Conservative Constitutionalist Americans....yeah I could see that goin’ down...
Fiorina’s so called H-P Debacle:
During Carly’s tenure at HP she doubled the company’s revenues, improved profitability in every product category.
HP’s stock price outperformed the technology index of peer
companies by 22 points during her tenure and when she left
the company the number of employees was greater than both
HP and Compaq premerger.
A debacle indeed....but only in the minds of demorats, purists and other under-informed people.
She is probably heavily invested in the carbon trading scheme or closely linked investments that will feed of the rip off.
Many have had the drip drip of the anti propaganda.
Some will beging to see Fiorina has answers to the crapOla we face.
Egads, a successful woman. Instead of liberal womens' groups celebrating her achievements, they are running scared of her. Fiorina has true business acumen and accomplishment to back her. Democrats only revel in failure - and celebrate THAT. Anything that creates and promotes actual JOBS (not administration paper ones) and financial stability in America (not creating more WH endorsed bills that INCREASE national debt for ANY reason instead of cutting federal fat) is verboten by liberals.
Betcha Carly can cut California costs handily and begin to separate the necessities from the non-necessities that Ahhh-nold cannot fathom to do.
Carly was awesome on Fox last night.
Did this woman ever do a day’s work in her life? What exactly were her qualifications for the US Senate? All she seems to do is insult people and flap her gums about things she knows nothing about.
What’s up with her hair? ;’)
It’s a decorative item.
SHUT DOWN CONGRESS. SAVE THE PLANET.
There, I’ve done my part for reducing CO2 emmissions.
Keep in mind that the Chicago Carbon Exchange represents TRILLIONS to some players out there, including quite a few of the usual suspects, IF and only IF "Carbon Credits" have market value.
We are being ripped off as never before.
At least Rome was sacked by Barbarians, we're being robbed from the top, too.
It’s a funny thing about Barbara Boxer. She moves her lips, noises come out, and you’d swear that it sounds like she’s talking. The noises even sound like complete sentences sometimes. But deep down, you know that she’s really more like a parrot or a minah bird. Or a squeaky piece of equipment. Those really aren’t words at all, let alone signs of sentience. They’re just random noises.
