Remember last year when Rep. Marsha Blackburn tried to get a vote to rescind the ban on incandescent light bulbs? She got no help at all from other Repubs.

Somebody or a bunch of somebodies got their palms greased on that one. And on the original one.

It appears that you are associating the term “liberal” with a statement by the Chairman of Energy and Commerce that the science and modeling for anthropogenic global warming is established. That is not “liberal” – it is conservative. I realize those terms have been bent into usage that is totally at odds with their meaning (thank you W), but agreeing with the position of every expert on a subject is not “liberal thinking” – it is conservative.

Before you dismiss this post, please do a little homework. If you are actually conservative – including the quality of being a realist – then you should not be dismissive of a fact as established as athropogenic global warming.

What we should do about it and how quickly we should be doing it, is a different question.

…not that it actually carries any weight, but from living in the district I’ve been hearing the Democratic challenger for that district campaign on the idea that Upton is too conservative for this district anymore.

I’m hoping that’s not the case, as the Democrat seems to be boilerplate “useful idiot”, but I can see the attack ads against Hoogendyk writing themselves.
