I predicted last week this was going to happen, that is, the Dems would lose no time beginning to fight among themselves, and got poo-pooed all over the place. But it is starting, sure enough. Pass the popcorn.

My money's on the Big Union. Libs all drive Honda's and Toyotas but they get plenty money from the UAW.

Have to go with Dingell. The envio weanies think energy comes from the air we breath and there is a conspiracy to keep green energy away from the masses. If the idiot Waxman makes it in, no drilling, no new power plants (nuclear, coal or gas).

Dittos to that. Waxman is a POS to put it mildly.

From the first sentence of the article “global warming”...Hello McFly...there is no such thing as man made global warming! The libtards have sucessfully gotten that term out there and because we do not call ‘em on the falsehood of it, it has now become fact to The Sheeple. The earth cools and warms continuously, and we puny humans have no control over it. It is just a created issue so they can tax us more and control us more. Duh! Libtards!!! ARRRGGHHHH!!!

The ultimate question to be asked here is this:

How many jobs (and therefore votes) can the environmentalists claim to represent?

Dingell can point to Detroit and a LOT of jobs.

Waxman... not so much.

If Pelosi is a fool, she’ll let Waxman run the show - and the DNC will lose control of Congress pretty quickly as a result.

I’m not saying that Pelosi won’t make the wrong choice. She’s certainly a dim enough bulb to do really stupid things.

Waxman and Dingell. What a pair. You have to put a mirror up to their mouth just to check to see if they are still breathing.

The state Supreme Court last month, in a 4-3 decision, ruled that preventing gay and lesbian couples from marrying violates the state constitution.

Waxman can point to all the pool cleaners, waiters, shoeshiners, and cashiers who work in Beverly Hills.
