BARACK PETROLEUM BP America President and Chairman Lamar McKay: “BP supports an economy-wide price for carbon based on fair and equitable application across all sectors and believes that market based solutions, like a cap and trade or linked-fee, are the best solutions to manage GHG emissions.” (Committee on Energy and Commerce, Subcommittee on Energy and Environment, U.S. House Of Representatives, Hearing, 6/15/10) Shell President Marvin E. Odum: “That is why Shell supports legislating a solution to energy and climate issues as a means to create a secure U.S. energy future, reduce dependence on foreign oil and decrease greenhouse gas emissions. This requires setting a price for carbon, and we recommend cap and trade.” (Committee on Energy and Commerce, Subcommittee on Energy and Environment, U.S. House Of Representatives, Hearing, 6/15/10) ConocoPhillips CEO James J. Mulva: “Another key element of a comprehensive energy policy should be federal action to address global climate change. As you are aware, ConocoPhillips supports passage of a comprehensive federal law establishing a clear and transparent price for carbon.” (Committee on Energy and Commerce, Subcommittee on Energy and Environment, U.S. House Of Representatives, Hearing, 6/15/10)

FAR-RIGHT CANDIDATE KEEPS HIS DISTANCE FROM KING.... It's hardly a stretch to consider Cory Gardner a pretty far-right candidate. Gardner, a Republican congressional hopeful in Colorado's 4th district, voted against drunk-driving laws in the state legislature because they represented a "nanny state." He's even voiced doubts that President Obama was born in the United States. But Republicans are nevertheless rallying to support Gardner, and Rep. Steve King (R), the right-wing Iowan, was scheduled to help Gardner raise money at fundraiser this weekend. Today, Gardner sent King a message: don't come. An Iowa congressman's fundraiser for Republican congressional candidate Cory Gardner was canceled Monday after the congressman suggested that President Barack Obama favored blacks over whites. Just yesterday, King said on a right-wing radio show, "[T]he president has demonstrated that he has a default mechanism in him that breaks down the side of race -- on the side that favors the black person." The comments were as ugly as they were stupid. Dems, understandably, started asking whether Gardner agrees with his ally's remarks. Soon after, the fundraiser where King was to appear was scrapped. Congratulations, Steve King. You're now so far gone that even far-right Birthers don't want to be associated with you. A rare feat, indeed. Update: King was also scheduled to appear at a Colorado Tea Party gathering, and that appearance has been cancelled, too. (thanks to T.P.) "His comments do not represent the tea party," a spokesperson for far-right Senate candidate Ken Buck (R) said.
