Know what is even better than that?

Water Vapor makes up 95% of the greenhouse gasses in the atmosphere. It's all a crock of #. This is nothing, but a power grab.

I hope all the people that want socialism are willing to settle with communism because that is exactly what we are going to get if this climate bill passes.


Edit - spelling and grammar

Though I tend to shy away from most of the threads here, I cannot help but raise my voice along with the collective. As much as I despised Bush, I hold a lesser opinion of Obama; tell ya, more people should have voted for Nader...

With everything that he has done or proposed, my god, it's amazing how blind the Obama followers are / can be. I, just like many of you here, have taken steps to be prepared in case , oh, how to put this... in case things take a turn for the worse. I've warned my family and my friends, giving hard evidence to support my claims, and because of that I am now considered more on the "fringe" than before (for those who have read my posts, come on, how am I on the fringe?)

But now! You would swear that this would make at least a few of the Obama supports stand up! My wife, I love her dearly... she isn't as politically outspoken as I am (in real life), and she honestly believes that Obama may of had good intentions, and also believes that he is trying but is being constantly stone-walled by, well... by people and media groups like us. Not her words, mind you, I just summed it up. Initially, I once thought that yeah, maybe Obama was working for change, especially with the way he was so against Bush and his policies back when Obama was just a candidate.

I won't go into what changed my mind, as I am drifting further off subject as it is...

GAAAH! Can't even think straight along this subject!

Hey, here's a good one... the whole entire thing about all bills and what-have-you being posted on the internet for, what, a week? before being voted on... is that pretty much thrown out the window? If the House of Reps were taken by the 3:09am book of 300+ amendums I would assume that that Obama promise is null and void.

Egads, I can't even think of anything sarcastic or meaningless to say!

EDIT HERE:

I figured out what I was going to say... any one know were I can get the Don't Tread On Me flag for a good price? I plan on flying that in my front yard to make the job easier for Obama supports.

It passed with 219-212, which means if 8 Republicans voted for it, 211 Democrats voted in favour, and the 212 who voted against it are mostly Republicans.

As I read this thread, I wonder where all the Obama supporters are at? Where are all the ATS members who were going on and on about how Obama is going to be "hope and change" for the future?


That's exactly what I was thinking, this thread sounds like its straight off of FOX news. They told ya! Fair and Balanced. O'reilly and Hannity were right on...

In total seriousness time to start burning up the phone lines of your local senators! go to www.senate.gov... find your senator and start sending e mails senators tend to be easier to influence in general mostly because there are fewer of them.

If this bill passes into law i will say the United States will loose all hope of leaving a decent life for are children and grandchildren. Because the sad thing is this bill isn't designed to cost us money now at least not as much the heaviest brunt of this will be transfered to our kids and there kids.

This bill is so bad that it has allocations for retraining citizens that loose there jobs. It is expected for gods sakes that this will cost the United States millions of jobs increase energy costs by at least 50% some states even higher such as Pennsylvania which can expect a 100 % increase. This bill all so effects poorer states much more placing the highest taxes on the poorest states!

The green jobs its supposed to create is a joke most of the jobs will be created overseas since they are trying to establish international accountability. And here the worst part this will hurt US production but on the other hand countries unwilling to place these caps will make trillions.China who refuses to lower there co2 emissions will be the only country that makes anything!

You can stop wondering, for the most part they are all deeply immersed in the Michael Jackson death saga. They couldn't have planned for a better distraction, unless they did?

Guarantees were made to get house votes, those who held I will bet you were approached and told "name your price, we need your vote, let us know what you want and we will make it happen, just give us your vote"

Not the same as the old days when money was exchanged for votes, though not illegal, what they do now is just as bad and corrupt.

This should show you that the Obama administration far left congress will now stop at nothing to get their agendas through.

Personally I am convinced that Obama knows he has only a little time in which he can get all of these plans through before the people wake up (of course it will be too late) Obama is likely not expecting to get reelected, and for a massive turnover in the legislative branch in 2010.

That is exactly why they are pushing so hard and fast, they know the clock is ticking.

The problem is that once this kind of legislation is passed it will be extremely difficult to remove or change in the future.

They want to bring down the capitalist system, they have control of banks, financial institutions, the auto industry, and soon health care.

This cap and tax is a part of a total fascist socialist reform plan.

The constitution will be worthless people.

You have not even began to see the worst yet if they get their other plans through.

What really burns my ass (other than a 14" high open flame) is that many of these "environmental specialists" are so narrow in their scope of study, it's like they have myopia.

I note that the one thing never in their calculations is precipitation.

Think for a moment. If you have a body of water, and you increase the temperature - what happens?

Increase in water vapor, right?

And what is the effect on temperature when we experience precipitation?

Yup. Cooling.

This is a self regulating mechanism, and I would suggest a natural fluxtuation in the heat/cool cycle of our planet.

I believe it was near the founding of our country when we had a mini ice age. It snowed in July here in the US.

The cooling created the famine in Europe and Ireland which in turn fueled the migration to America.

These guys are only looking for major tax dollars and they hide that tax behind this "cap and trade."

Well, I'm laying off the beans and franks for now on. Where can I sell my CO2 savings?
