Even his OWN people know this is BS
Hey folks,
It's Sunday, time to wrap things up with the Idiot of the Week. This is actually funny folks. You do have to give him credit. He is persistent. Even if some in his own Party are saying this will NEVER pass as is. He said this.
“I don’t think we are going to take to the Senate floor a bill stripped of climate provisions."
Then it will FAIL. Even Four Democrats say so. And they need ALL of them to pass it. According to Bloomberg.com - Climate Change Measure Should Be Set Aside, U.S. Senators Say Daniel Whitten and Simon Lomax Daniel Whitten And Simon Lomax – Fri Aug 14, 12:00 am ET
Aug. 14 (Bloomberg) -- The U.S. Senate should abandon efforts to pass legislation curbing greenhouse-gas emissions this year and concentrate on a narrower bill to require use of renewable energy, four Democratic lawmakers say.
“The problem of doing both of them together is that it becomes too big of a lift,” Senator Blanche Lincoln of Arkansas said in an interview last week. “I see the cap-and-trade being a real problem.”
Now I've said this before. If Global Warming was real, NOTHING would be more important than doing WHATEVER we had to do to stop it. If you KNOW that there is an Asteroid heading to Earth and WILL strike us causing catastrophe and death, ALL of us, as a World, would come together to attempt to stop it. NOTHING ELSE would matter.
So just the fact that they keep talking about it, now even admit that they will not be able to pass it, shows you that they KNOW it is nothing more than a manufactured crises. It's a SCAM.
The resistance by Lincoln and her Senate colleagues undercuts President Barack Obama’s effort to win passage of legislation that would cap carbon dioxide emissions and establish a market for trading pollution allowances, said Peter Molinaro, the head of government affairs for Midland, Michigan- based Dow Chemical Co., which supports the measure.
“Doing these energy provisions by themselves might make it more difficult to move the cap-and-trade legislation,” said Molinaro, who is based in Washington. “In this town if you split two measures, usually the second thing never gets done.”
The House passed cap-and-trade legislation in June.
Leaders of the Democratic-controlled Senate say they are sticking with their plan to combine a version of that bill with a separate measure mandating energy efficiency and the use of renewable sources such as solar and wind power. The legislation also provides for an extension of offshore oil and gas drilling in certain areas, broadening its support.
Reid's Comment
“I don’t think we are going to take to the Senate floor a bill stripped of climate provisions,” Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, a Democrat from Nevada, told reporters in Las Vegas on Aug. 11.
The Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee passed the renewable-energy legislation, 15-8, in June. Reid has set a deadline of Sept 28 for committees to complete work on climate- change provisions.
Ben Nelson of Nebraska and North Dakota Senators Kent Conrad and Byron Dorgan joined Lincoln in suggesting that the climate measure be put off.
“We should separate the energy bill from the climate bill,” Conrad told reporters this month. ‘It needs to be done as soon as we can get it done,” he said, referring to the energy legislation.
{Sigh} Yeah we need to KILL the Economy as soon as possible. Right? But this is telling you that they know it will not pass.
Climate legislation would require 60 votes in the Senate. Most Republicans have said they oppose the cap-and-trade measure, and at least 15 of the Senate's 60-member Democratic majority have said the House-passed version would hurt the economy and needs to be revamped to win their support.
‘Wishful Thinking’
“At some point, they are going to take a hard vote count,” said Michael McKenna, president of MWR Strategies, a Washington consulting firm. “I think cap-and-trade has a one- in-three chance, but at some point they are going to want to pass something,” he said of the Senate leadership.
Some Democrats want to avoid voting on a measure that would force companies to get pollution permits, said Daniel Weiss, an energy and climate specialist for the Center for American Progress, a Washington public policy group that advises Democrats and supports a cap-and-trade system.
Yeah they are nothing more than a bunch of Kooks. Funded well by Soros. But Kooks non-the-less.
“There is a lot of wishful thinking on the part of some senators,” Weiss said in an interview. “They want to do what is easy, not what is needed.”
The Senate remains under pressure to pass a cap-and-trade bill because failure to act would leave regulation in the hands of the Environmental Protection Agency, which has asserted its right to do so under the Clean Air Act, said Kevin Book, a Washington analyst with Clearview Energy Partners, an energy consulting firm. Senate action to head off the EPA is the most likely outcome, he said.
“The second school of thought holds that Senate progress towards climate change legislation is already irretrievably mired in parochial conflicts,” Book said in an Aug. 12 memo to clients. That may lead the Senate to pass stand-alone energy legislation as a way to “achieve climate change objectives without a cap-and-trade program.”
Yeah so it's just like Global Warming, uh, "Climate Change," {We are not warming anymore} Healthcare, uh, "Insurance Reform" {Those evil Insurance Companies are out to get you} Cap-and Trade, uh, "Climate Change" {We still have some fools that believe we are killing the planet so we will have more support for this} Whenever they get into trouble, they just change the name, but it is the SAME agenda.
Congratulation Harry Reid, for ignoring your own people and staying the course in something that is doomed to fail just to satisfy the Kooks that have bought and paid for YOU, you ARE the Idiot of the Week. Go ahead, call for the Vote. It will die and we can move on.
