The cap-and-trade movement, spooked by the pounding health care reform took over the August break, is scrambling to persuade nervous Democrats they won’t suffer politically for taking another tough vote this year.
“When you get your butt kicked, like we did [after the House energy vote], it focuses the mind,” said Steve Cochran, director of the Environmental Defense Fund’s National Climate Campaign. “We found out that this is not something to hide from but something to lean on — even in places where coal is king and Blue Dogs were perceived to be running for cover.”
Climate bill supporters say they have spent the summer building precisely the kind of grass-roots network that health care didn’t have, with grass-roots operations in more than 20 states.
A “climate war room” — funded by more than 60 labor, business, faith, agriculture and environmental groups — has been set up to coordinate ad dollars and communications.

In the meantime Obama proposed raising the cost of a single postage stamp to $5. "Hey, the American people shouldn't have a problem with this," Obama said. "The new cost of a postage stamp will be no more than the additional cost in energy that results from the cap and trade laws."

War room? I would think libtards would want a “Peace and Justice” room.
funded by more than 60 labor, business, faith, agriculture and environmental groupsChurches involved in this political activity should lose their tax exemption, pronto -- it has been done to conservative clergy, and MUST be done to the liberal social clubs that call themselves churches.

A real war where bad folks and enemies die?
Follow the money. Goldman Sachs is the priority investor in the exchange that will be in charge of carbon credit trading under the Cap and Trade system. And guess what state that will be located in......drum roll please.........Illinois. And guess who was one of the Top 10 biggest campaign contributors to Obama's run for the whitehouse.......drum roll please......Goldman Sachs. And guess what state our current president is from........drum roll please........Illinois.
The Cap and Traders will wreck the economy. They are fanatics
who need to be defeated decisively.
The so-called environmental movement is the closest thing we have to a neo-Nazi Teutonic cult, from its numerous calls to eradicate all of humanity to threats to shoot boys who bird hunt.
And I can say with assurance that people who support these eco-fascists are some of the most vapid elemental cretins who have ever walked the earth.
Practical solutions and practical thinking, are not in the libtard lexicon.

What you’re saying is he’s trying the smoke and mirrors - illusionist...
Oh sorry - LIAR and not to be trusted...that’s more like it.

A wee bit hypocritical, isn’t it?!

Absolutely - apply all the libtard tactics and ‘standards’ to them as well. Let’s see how they do with a true application of FAIR IS FAIR.
"WAR is NOT the ANSWER!"
Cheers!
Do they not realize that even the people they pretend to help, the poor and minorities, will get devastated by cap and trade? Especially those living in Midwest states.

Enviro-wackos care way more for plants and animals, than they do for people (except for themselves of course).
Just goes to show that facts and scientific evidence mean NOTHING to these folks. They are all about pushing their anti-capitalist agenda, and the truth be damned!
Hitler winning WW-II might not have caused as much damage as these lunatics are capable of.
