The Democrats seem to have no problem being heard during the Bush years, SPEAK LOUDLY and CARRY A BIG STICK from now on!

The hearings, if publicized enough should help get the public behind you, but I fear that isn’t enough to stop it.

Has anyone else noticed that the democrats seem to come up with all these pie-in-the-sky ideas to solve problems that aren’t really problems at all? Then, when they try to implement them, they cause even MORE problems which the same idiots try to correct but are totally incapable of doing. Yet, they don’t suffer - the American people do. The things this administration is trying to do in such a short period of time will lead to permanent financial damage to people - just for some great experiment.

Cap and trade, global warming, housing bailouts, bank bailouts, non-tax paying cabinet members, and a president who appears to be a whole lot better at spending other people’s money than his own is a disgrace.

My husband and I have worked hard and lived responsibly to take care of ourselves and save for our futures. All of that is at risk because of politicians, and yes, mostly democrats.

You’re being too nice to them. They have declared war on Republicans. It’s time for Republicans to fight back, not to hold hearings.

Let me ask you this…if a tree falls in the forest and nobody is there to hear it…does it make a sound?

The liberals will not be swayed by logic Sir…that is very clear. The only thing that will change these peoples minds is the belief that it will cost them their seat. The way to make that happen is to attack and expose these idiots on their own turf…in the MSM…we here at RedState get it…we have been talking about the Cap and Trade bull for over 2 years.

What we need is some Lee Atwaters to tear these idiots a new…well you get the picture I am sure.

Even try to run them on CNN and NBC - who knows they might need the money.

It won’t just effect Americans - this will have a ripple impact in the rest of the world. $3000 to a family is alot of money. Money that won’t be used to buy foreign goods. Money that won’t be spent on a family vacation overseas.

Crap & Trade does NOT work:

EUROPE’S “CAP AND TRADE” PROBLEMS

As U.S. lawmakers work on the details of “cap and trade” carbon dioxide legislation, they need to know what Europeans already know: When trying to slow down global warming, beware of unintended consequences, says Steven Mufson in the Washington Post.

Consider Kollo Holding’s (a silicon carbide maker) factory in the Netherlands:

Managers at the factory say their plant as an ecological standout: They use waste gases to generate energy and have installed the latest pollution-control equipment.

But Europe’s emissions program has driven electricity prices so high that the facility routinely shuts down for part of the day to save money on power, which, contrary to environmental goals, reduces energy efficiency.

Although demand for its products is strong, the plant has laid off 40 of its 130 employees and trimmed production.

Two customers have turned to cheaper imports from China, which is not covered by Europe’s costly regulations.
They aren’t the only ones suffering, says Mufson. French cement workers fear they’re going to lose jobs to Morocco, which doesn’t have to meet the European guidelines; and German homeowners pay 25 percent more for electricity than they did before the caps.

Making matters worse, the rationing hasn’t proved successful, says Mufson:

Because of lobbying by well-connected companies, the EU’s limits on emissions ended up being higher than the actual emissions.
As a result, fewer companies than expected had to buy emissions this year, and the price of carbon allowances, which had topped $30 per ton of carbon about a year ago, crashed to about $1 a ton.

Germany boasts that it has cut emissions to 18.4 percent below 1990 levels, but nearly half the reduction was because of sagging industrial output in the former East Germany after reunification.
For the 2008-2012 period, European Union officials sliced 5 percent off Germany’s emissions proposal.

We need to build nuclear palnts
because obamas-peloski-reid craps and shove foney fraud carbon tax will
double the cost of food,
double the cost of electricity,
double the cost of gasoline,
double the cost of home heating fuels,
double the cost of consumers goods,
the democrats don’t seem to understand just because you don’t call it a tax, if the hard working middle class taxpayers have to use their disposble income to pay for increased living costs it a gd tax.
dump the democrats today .
We CAN NOT AFFORD OBAMAS CRAPS AND SHOVE FONEY FRAUD CARBON TAX. PERIOD

Sorry, sir, but it’s time to take the gloves off. Stop playing the game by their rules since you nor we had any input in the writing of them.
