Let's see how many repubs vote for this disastrous cap and trade bill. People need to watch and then make sure anyone who votes for this bill are defeated in the primary.

Let's see how many repubs vote for this disastrous cap and trade bill. Been too busy to really follow this. Are there Republicans that have indicated that they may vote for this foolishness?

"Under my plan of a cap and trade system, electricity rates would necessarily skyrocket." Barack Obama youtube.com ".... it's a huge tax and there's no sense calling it anything else. I mean, it is a tax. And it's a fairly regressive tax. If we buy permits, essentially, at our utilities, that goes right into the bills of the utility customers and an awful lot of people in Iowa, in Oregon, and Utah, and places where we are, very poor people are going to pay a lot more money for electricity." Warren Buffet on cap and trade cnbc.com Obama & Buffet vs Waxman, Markey & the EPA - who ya gonna believe? Everyone really knows the truth about this. Why lie? Oh, yeah, to help get a bad bill passed. "Basically, cap and trade strikes me as the Iraq war of the Democratic domestic policy agenda. It's the overreach moment. It's a massive program that, unlike health care reform, no one is demanding, no one understands, and no one can explain. Cap and trade may be the only thing that can save the Republican party from eight years in the wilderness."
