"I don't know what 'cap and trade' means" John Kerry

but he and Boxer introducing it in the Senate anyway

Interesting tack, they are caliming its a starting point and expect loads of involvement with moderates and GOP.

I doubt it has a chance but they have to give it a whirl. Probably why Kerry and Boxer are stuck trying to run with it.


Quote:
Ending some nine months of closed-door deliberations, Sens. Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.) and John Kerry (D-Mass.) will release global warming legislation Wednesday that they hope will be the vehicle for broader Senate negotiations and an eventual conference with the House.

The bill's authors said last week that they expect to start hearings early next month on the bill, with a markup in Boxer's Environment and Public Works Committee to follow soon thereafter. They also acknowledged that their legislation is just a "starting point" in a bid to win over moderate and conservative Democrats, as well as Republicans.

Kerry and the Dems want to change the debate. They know they're losing the "cap and trade" debate, so now it's "pollution reduction". Still no evidence that CO2 is pollution when 90% of the life forms on Earth can't survive without it.

they LOST C&T so yes, have to re-frame it.

have to make a believable case against CO2 but the kicker is that C&T will do nothing to help "global climate warming change" and still cost (at least) a trillion a year.

money for nothing and a LOT of money at that.

The dems have high confidence because they are gifted when it comes to fixing things. Take California for instance, it's the model of democrat/liberal leadership and they are certainly in a fix. Just a shining example the economic impact of over legislation and government oppression.

That which we call crap, by any other name would still smell as bad ...

Do these stupid politicians not get it? We don't want them to rename something bad. We want them to knock off the bad stuff.

he is a liability and I'm not sure how much longer he can be tolerated.
