Billionaire Environmentalist May Target Louisiana's Oil-Friendly Senator Landrieu With Negative Ads
IB Times ^ | 2/18/14 | Meagan Clark

Billionaire environmentalist Tom Steyer has threatened to launch a political assault on Republicans as well as Louisiana Sen. Mary Landrieu, a Democrat friendly to the oil and gas industry who is gearing up for a tough re-election campaign.

Steyer, a Democrat worth about $1.5 billion, leads a political organization called NextGen Climate Action. With Steyer’s funding, the group has launched a media campaign against the Keystone XL pipeline. Soon, that campaign may narrow its focus on Landrieu to criticize her for supporting the pipeline.

Steyer’s super PAC, in its own words online, is dedicated to “supporting candidates … that will take bold action on climate change -- and to exposing those who deny reality and cater to special interests.”

I wonder how soon it will be before these far-left issue hyenas are laughed at even by mainstream America. With nothing else to stop them, they get worse and worse.

No, I don’t quite hanker for the days of burning rivers. Still, we don’t have solid reasons yet to worry.

The Dummycrats would be better off enlisting billionaires to help pay the medical bills for victims of Obamacare and forget about hoaxes like man-made global warming.

Steyer matches the "usual suspect" profile -- well-to-do parents...New York City...Exeter Academy, Yale (Economicss & Political Science), Stanford (MBA)...Goldman-Sachs, Morgan Stanley, founded a hedge fund, made a billion dollars plus (without ever creating anything except money)...worked on Mondale campaign, raised money for Bradley and Kerry, major bundler for Obama...joined in a plot with other super-rich Dems (Buffet, Gates, 37 others) to give half their fortunes to "charity" (code for left-wing activist groups)...joins wife in dedicating the rest of their lives to "political activism" in support of left-wing causes.

Enviro-whacko nutcase who wants to be Secretary of Energy...

Tom Steyer

Such people are truly dangerous...

Saw this guy on TV yesterday. A real horse’s ass. Looks like one also. For a guy with over a billion dollars, he looked like he had not bathed or combed his hair in over a week.

IOW: Commie wannabes. They want to be communists but they just don’t want to give up their capitalist good life. They don’t want the unwashed masses to ever have what they’ve got. We don’t deserve it because we’re not “good” people like they are. They’re both a real POS. They did a story on FOX tonight about these two commie pixies. They call themselves TomKat.
