Jobs?….. Who Needs Jobs?
The Democrats in the US Senate just rejected a bid to stop the radical Obama Administration from further strangling manufacturing and business in the United States.
The vote was 53-47.
53 Democrats rejected a bid by Republicans to block the new restrictions on American manufacturing!
The AP reported:
The Senate has rejected a bid to stop the Obama administration from imposing regulations on greenhouse gases, giving a boost to President Barack Obama as he pursues broader clean energy legislation.
Senators turned back a resolution that would have rescinded the authority of the Environmental Protection Agency to regulate greenhouse gases under the Clean Air Act.
Supporters of the measure, mostly Republicans, argued that the EPA had usurped the authority of Congress to set climate policy and that the EPA regulations would increase energy costs and kill jobs.
But the White House, which threatened to veto the measure, said depriving the EPA of its ability to regulate carbon and other greenhouse emissions would result in greater dependence on oil and more pollution.
The unemployment rate is at a horrendous 9.7%.
Democrats want it to go higher.

The dirty little secret is that there is no ‘greenhouse gas’ issue on earth. The EPA should be shut down.
SoldiersMom commented:
Then the new November 2010 Congress needs to DEFUND THE EPA !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
shibumi commented:
Why is this a surprise to anyone?
Obama wants to have as many as possible in the US suckling off the teat of the government, so they will be dependent and easy to control. That way there will be Democrats in power forever.

They are marching in lock step with the enemy. They are the enemy now. If Obama says shoot Americans, many of them would. They are machines, told what to do, when to do it, how to do it. If they question, even legitimately, they are put in prison, or destroyed.
SoldiersMom commented:
I have always been “the glass is half full” type of person, so I’m trying to convince myself that this is just another nail in the coffin for Dems. Things have to get bad before they get better. Even those you don’t pay taxes, have to pay utilities. This will increase the purchase price of everything. Those that vote “taxes for thee, but not for me” will be screaming when this bill comes due. Those same people will support defunding the EPA once the bills start coming their way.

Check out the Dems who voted yea.

I’m not shocked that all struggling incumbents are camouflaging themselves. Except Harry Reid decided to stick to his “principles.” Thanks Harry, you just made Angle’s job that much easier.
Kevin P commented:
SoldiersMom #10 – you forget – they don’t pay their own bills. It’s called section 8, foodstamps, welfare… they won’t be paying.
So this unfunded mandate will be payed three times by you – everytime you buy something you’ll be paying the higher utility costs of the companies producing the goods. You’ll be paying your OWN higher utility costs. And you’ll be paying the higher utility costs of the folks that support these criminals!
nelli commented:
I think you’re right, Arius, I read some months ago on Strata-sphere an explanation of how there is no greenhouse effect. If that’s correct, the truth needs to told, spread far and wide, and then the EPA could be defunded because it’s incompetent, unscientific, dangerous, and worse.
pagar commented:
“This will increase the purchase price of everything.”
Does any one really believe the 53 who voted to kill American jobs and raise the cost of everything in America really care? As long as they can get the Communists in control of everything, that is all that really matters to them.

At the moment children are running the legislative and executive branches. Come November we’ll reinstall the adults.
John Gargano commented:
There’s nothing wrong with wanting a clean environment.
What’s wrong is that they want to create laws that designate imaginary pollutants, like the gas everyone exhales, as dangers to our planet despite mountains of evidence that contradicts their naive view. It seems their efforts are really geared towards further growth of the government so their constituents can eternally avail themselves of entitlement programs.
They don’t care if it kills our economy. They don’t care if wind energy is nothing more than a kinetic eyesore. They have no idea what we pay for foreign oil or how much we import. They have no clue about what runs our cars, trucks and trains.
While they live by esoteric computer models that make wild predictions about global warming, they refuse to look at the simple spreadsheets that show them bankrupting our nation in a very short period of time. Does anyone dispute that our debt will be upwards of 95% of our GDP in 2015? What entitlement programs are they going to be able to offer when there is no more money left in the treasury?
They are moving ahead as though mixing magic beans with sea water is going to produce the fuel we all need for eternity.
One simply cannot argue with such irrational people. Our only alternative is to get rid of them ASAP.

If you are going to lose control of the Congress, you have to move the power to the executive branch, eh?

“giving a boost to President Barack Obama as he pursues broader clean energy legislation”
And that, of course, is exactly what this is all about to our intrepid media. Destroying the economy isn’t even on their radar when a boost to Obama is involved.

Pray to God the Republicans take back the House in November so they can defund everything.
That’s our only hope.
Impeachment should also be part of the Republicans’ agenda.

I thought the Casablanca reference made it pretty obvious sarcasm, but I forget I’m bordering on being a geezer so…
The only one who would have voted this way without getting permission 1st is Rockefeller.
Because the Coal Miners would skin him alive if he didn’t .

……..
Waiting like they are supposed to for voters to VOTE the DEMS OUT. Have the normal processes taken their course as yet? You want the military to re-emptively usurp the lawful processes that the VOTERS have to perform?
That would be more of a desrtuction of our Constitutional government than Obama, and more soldiers probably know it better than you.
Shame!

Experts Say White House ‘Misrepresented’ Views to Justify Drilling Moratorium

OH MY
Salazar apologized to those experts Thursday
The experts who are involved in crafting the report gave us their recommendation and their input and I very much appreciate those recommendations,” he said. “It was not their decision on the moratorium. It was my decision and the president’s decision to move forward.”

News flash, I was in the military, I’ve got friends in the military, be very very very careful with your statements. We’ve taken a oath to protect and defend the Constitution of the US, not the dip s**t in the White House.

I beg to differ. Certain members of the military are taking their oath seriously, Dr. Terry Lakin being one of them. The others sit silently, and watch the destruction, the lies, and the victimization of America, and don’t question, for fear of court martial. Heck, they wouldn’t even allow discovery to this man. I call that protecting the enemy. Why are they covering for this man, Obama? And the SS? They took an oath to the Constitution, didn’t they? Why are they not questioning? Why are they protecting, the enemy. Is that living up to your oath?
And wanumba, when I see them question, someone who obviously shouldn’t be where he is, perhaps I’ll feel differently. I’m speaking as someone who’s own brother bravely flew Navy fighters in the Gulf War. He served along with Captain Scott Speicher, the lone casualty of that war. My brother, now retired, doesn’t believe his eligibility either. By the way, I don’t begrudge the soldiers on the ground, I do detest the officers who blindly follow. Just as they did with Hitler. It takes an extremely brave person to act on the oath they took. But when you take that oath, you should mean it.

What happened to the people in 1776,almost mirrors what is happening today. Read the Declaration of Independence. It’s not a long read but for those who haven’t read it…a real eye opener of what is happening today. Take this vote for instance,then read…’He has combined with others,(EPA) (Czars) to subject us to a jourisdicition foreign to our Constitution…finish reading this. Also…For imposing taxes on us without our consent and altering fundamentally the Forms of our government. For suspending our own Legislatures,(Congress) and declaring themselves,Obama and the EPA invested with power to legislate for us in all cases whatsoever. There is more that could apply to this vote today and more that describes other things this asministration has done the past year and a half.
America is in wake-up mode,now read and learn. History does repeat itself!

This is the government that arbitrarily shut off the water to 140,000 farmers killing the jobs, livelihoods, and destroying the orchards for all those people in order to save a damned minnow. There is no effort to find a way to pump the water safely to these farmers. Obama has simply shut the water off. San Joaquin valley. It is turnign into a desert because Obama wants that water to go straight into the ocean. He doesn’t care about people or jobs. He only cares about tomorrow nights party and his next golf game.
