You’re right. She is a moron.
From the N&O

She had her eureka moment more than a year ago, after poring over the science about climate change and coming to the conclusion that the Earth definitely is getting warmer.
She was further persuaded when two Senate buddies on the Armed Services Committee — Independent Joe Lieberman of Connecticut and Republican John Warner of Virginia — talked to her about climate change’s impacts on national security.
She signed on and became one of just a handful of Republicans to support the bill, which allows companies to “buy” credits in exchange for emitting carbon.
She says the bill will lessen dependence on foreig
I have just emailed my thanks.
Mmmm... let’s see... Kerry - uh huh ... Kennedy... out sick but on record as global warming lunatic... Rep. Neal... also represents Northampton, MA, and is a proud leftist butt boy...
I think this is what we can hope for the next 4 years no matter who wins in Nov.
OOPS! I didn’t get the whole quote
She says the bill will lessen dependence on foreign oil.
“We’re almost 60 percent dependent on foreign sources of oil, and look at where it comes from: Russia, the Middle East, Venezuela,” she said.
YET she opposes drilling offshore or in ANWAR I predict she loses in Nov.
RINO Mel.What a shock-Mel Martinez(R-Fla)voted yes.I’m still steamed that he supported the McCain/Kennedy immigration(shamnesty)bill.This man doesn’t give a flip about the people he was ELECTED to represent.Anecdote:Prior to the McCain/Kennedy vote lots of us called our respective senators offices to express our displeasure re the proposed legislation.No one anwsered the phone at Martinez’s office-couldn’t even leave a recorded message.At least Nelson’s office took my call.
My Senator is McQueeg and didn’t vote, so, thanks for nothing John.
My other Senator, Kyl, voted the right way, so thanks, John!
Please FReepmail to be added to the Congress Watch ping list.
I just called both of my senators. Everyone should do that. Let them know how you feel about what they did either yes or no.
I agree with your assessment of Cornyn. As I read the original post a 3/5 majority was required. With 48 yeas and 36 nays that is 84. 3/5 of that is 50.4 or 51 votes needed for passage. If I am correct the bill did not pass. Am I right or wrong?
Perhaps it was a back room agreed upon deal.
