Democrats ignored the Party of No -Approves Climate Change Bill
   
Senate Panel Approves Climate Change Bill Despite GOP Boycott


In a rare move, Democrats on the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee on Thursday approved a sweeping climate change bill without any Republicans present.

Republicans had boycotted the committee's work on the bill, insisting on a cost analysis of the proposal by the EPA.

The bill would require cuts in greenhouse gas emissions by 20 percent over the next decade from 2005 levels. But Republicans warned the bill would leave consumers with higher energy bills.

"This would be the largest tax increase in the history of America," Sen. James Inhofe, R-Okla., one of the seven committee Republicans, told Fox News. "I can only conclude that they don't want the public to know how much money this thing is going to cost."

Inhofe, who said the committee typically needs two minority members present to advance a bill to the floor, called the vote Thursday "unprecedented."

One Democrat, Sen. Max Baucus, D-Mont., voted against the bill. Ten Democrats voted for it.

Sen. Barbara Boxer, D-Calif., chairwoman of the committee, applauded the vote in a written statement Thursday.

"We are pleased that despite the Republican boycott, we have been able to move the bill," she said.

If the republicans had done this they would have been up in arms and rightly so because this is a pure dirty trick.

Once again the dems chip away at our freedoms and raise taxes and the goons celebrate. Just wait till they can't afford to post on DU 24 hours a day anymore because they cant afford the light bill.  :-)

They will have more problems getting this through than they are having with the healthcare bill.

I can't even wrap my brain around what the democrats are thinking at this point.  I know the destruction of the United States of America is all-important and has to be put ahead of the party, but really, the democrats are now killing their party before they have a chance to destroy the country.  It doesn't make sense.

They KNOW CaP & TaX ain't goin' nowhere.  It's like they put a noose around their own neck because they can't control their own hand.

They don't care.  All they want is power after the chaos that follows.  That's why the Right has most of the privately-owned guns in our country.

When the price of gas, electricity and everything else jumps as a result of this bill they'll be pissing and moaning that the big bad corporations are ripping them off.

Let's see the show of hands of all those who believe China, Brazil, and Russia have any intentions of curbing their "greenhouse gas emissions."

Nobody??

That would be correct.

We wanna end up like Kenya, then we'll abide by anything we sign along this line, too.
