Report (not me) from upstate NY, two months of winter, emery utilities combined for 1500 sf $1,700. A pay plan, plus April at $500.
Not a peep about Obama. But the college educated gougee tells us that with global warming, the jersey shore, where the rest of the family lives, will see a ten foot rose in sea level over the next ten years
The answer, ‘that’s what they say. I don’t think so’
Response, ‘grrr. It oh eh eh eh yes it certainly is oh oh oh i just can’t talk about it!’
It’ll go way up and they’ll still blame bush and vote d
But you know, I lived there and voted for Reagan. He won that state
He did.

Why has Congress not even attempted to stop these diktats? Only Congress can make law.Who knows, maybe they are a bunch of traitors too.

our founding fathers put up with a lot less tyranny from King George than we are from this communist monster ObamaOne of the differences, is that the Brits had 4 or 5,000 mile supply lines, back to England. Here, the supply lines for this evil government, are a lot less. I am becoming more and more convinced, that the military WILL fire on American civilians, and drones will take out many patriots as well. It will not be pretty, but I think we are already beyond the tipping point. I wish it was different, but I think not.

Cain, Bachmann, Gingrich and Perry all looked good. (Maybe not Perry, God love him, and he’s an o k gov), so did Santorum
Romney never did. He slammed all of these people and I KNEW he would do the same to BO and I was correct. Two days ago he was on batting his eyes and smirking about BO being a nice fellow just misguided, not evil lik Gingrich, Santorum, Perry, Bachmann...
He does not look good now
He looks like the person who ushered this in and enabled it even after Benghazi
His smile does not cover up the nerve the chutzpah the contempt he has to show his used car salesman face
The GOPe is so much as responsible for this as is the media, Hollywood and the gimmeestuffs
No way are they taking over
Mississippi had netter go tea party to discourage the GOP because there are at least twice as many no three times as any IMHO Of course, won’t vote GOPers as there were not voting for Romney

"We are to blame for Romney winning the primary."
So are you saying even NOW after six years of Obama that Romney could have been worse? Really?
Maybe you not know, but liberals do, even having the worst winner at the dance is better than the loser. The winner is able to change the republic we live in when we let him.
And we did!
Any conservative or republican would have been better than the scum of a leftist we are saddled with now!
He will only get worse, and the republic will be even more at risk than it is now.
What is for sure, those 4 million voters who did not vote against Obama, VOTED FOR OBAMA, and that was the plan of the left.
It worked... only those children who did not vote against him are the real scum who should not play big peoples games, like voting, just be truthful and line up with the evil that is the left.

I meant I knew that Romney would not slam BO even close to the way he did the republicans
He said there were 47% who would never vote for him
He was right. The faggy wimpy pundits freaked oh oh oh he can’t say that he’ll never win
Great advice right?
He groveled like a cartoon rat
Why? He was right
He wanted those voters. As soon as that happens, you know they’ve jumped over the net and have joined the other side competing on their court where they’ll never win - plus, that’s how they’d govern
No. Conservatives would have taken any one of the others than Romney. The others should’ve seen Romney’s money and backing ad decided to consolidate
Are they flawed ? Yes. Any one who points out their shortcomings is a media loving liberal sympathizer. Even Romney wouldn’t have left diplomat staff to die nor let the va health system falter this badly

"This guy is just waiting for someone to finally say stop it!."
No he is not, he is counting on the yawn he is getting with his next move AGAINST our republic. He revels in his slap to the founders he gives every day.

If the candidate could not attract the votes, there is no one else to blame.

Where were you on this? Cain's crotch got him in trouble. Bachmann was a nutcase and still is. Gingrich made a PSA at one time that made some people mad, and the deacons frowned on his marital history. Perry couldn't remember his own program on national tv. So where were you? I held my nose and voted for Mittens. Not that it mattered, this being Taxachusetts. I scorn all who did otherwise! They share the blame for the two-time Won!
Where were you?

It is not congress but Obama has won with just the senate, the presidency, and SCOTUS. Add in the various administrative offices and all the administrative laws they have passed since O and the left has taken control.
The house is the only thing that has saved our country from total subjugation to the left. It is not much, but has been very tough with all the rest of government and the MSM working against them... and us.

It all comes down to the Senate.
An impeachable offense is whatever a majority of the House and two thirds of the Senate say it is. No judicial review (but the Chief[L] gets to count the votes wearing an extra-fancy robe).
The first is easily attainable, I would hope. Not so much the second.

So you are saying there was NO choice to vote for anyone but O or NOT VOTING?
That is EXACTLY what the left was counting on. So to you there was NO OTHER choice? That is what it sounds like. There was a choice and it was NOT to vote FOR Obama or vote for obama by not voting for the opposition to him. A "no" vote was a vote for Obama and a vote against our republic as the founders left it for us.
Or at least to those who voted FOR our country and republic.
The rest are children and leftists by action or lack of action.,...and they showed their true stripes in the last election. Shame on them.

I’d love to see the liberals opening their electric bills in a few years. Of course, it’ll be the republicans’ fault.
To: GeronL
Yes GeronL and sadly those who did NOT vote against Obama voted for him. In this big kids game of politics the sides select one person to run, but if that person is not good, big people need to band together to keep the other guy out, 'til they can win. But they do NOT CEDE the victory to the other side.
Basic social studies in grade school should have shown all this fact. The liberals seemed to get it. Many on our side did not get it, and missed the elementary school class covering it.
We are left wondering who missed those basic classes or....left wondering what their real leanings are?

A whole country brought to its knees by the race card. The GOPe is scared to death of being called racist and The Media has them convinced that White racism is at the forefront of America’s concerns.

"......the real culprit is the US Congress......"
Actually , in 2007 SCOTUS ruled that CO2 was a pollutant and told EPA to regulate it with the Clean Air Act.
Bush, then Senator Obama, and essentially everyone wanted Congress to pre-empt EPA and enact legislation to regulate CO2. In 2008 Congress debated Cap and Trade supported by the GOP versus Cap and Tax supported by the dems. The GOP won with Cap and Trade so Congress would enact in 2009.
But the House Cap and Trade bill in 2009 failed for several different reasons. This legislation was much more stringent than what Obama is implementing. It would have applied to probably 13,000 companies in the US including cement kilns, refineries, steel mills.
Then in 2010 the Senate tried to pass a scaled back version that applied only to power plants but it also failed. Obama's plan is not much different from what the Senate proposed.
Everybody is complaining about this but the 2007 SCOTUS decision applied to all sources of CO2 including mobile sources(tail pipes). Congress' attempts and Obama's regs deal only with stationary sources.
In 2009, Obama, key members of Congress, the auto industry, and the oil industry agreed to raise CAFE standards to reduce CO2 emissions from tail pipes. This is going to cost you more than reducing CO2 emissions from power plants.
