WASHINGTON (AP) — Three Democratic senators are joining an effort to block the Obama administration from taking steps to reduce the pollution blamed for global warming.

Democrats Ben Nelson of Nebraska, Mary Landrieu of Louisiana, and Blanche Lincoln of Arkansas have signed onto a resolution introduced Thursday by Republican Lisa Murkowski of Alaska. The measure, which must pass Congress and be signed by the President, would bar the Environmental Protection Agency from issuing regulations to control greenhouse gases.

Energy Secretary Steven Chu said Thursday that the President is unlikely to sign it.

2. Three scumbag pig senators are joining an effort to block the Obama administration..

There, I fixed it.

3. I could almost guess the 3 before I even read it. n/t

6. Yeah, same here.

One has to wonder why they are they doing the dirty work for the pukes. If they forced the opposition to act like opposition, these three buffoons might not be so likely to face primary challenges.

4. No surprise that these three are at it again! Where's Lie-berman?

[Smashcut]

5. These are REPUBLICANS.

Let's stop calling them Democrats.

8. They should make it official and just leave already.

Democrats Ben Nelson of Nebraska, Mary Landrieu of Louisiana, and Blanche Lincoln of Arkansas have signed onto a resolution introduced on Thursday by Republican Lisa Murkowski of Alaska. The measure, which must pass Congress and be signed by the President, would bar the Environmental Protection Agency from issuing regulations to control greenhouse gases.

The EPA has taken steps to reduce greenhouse gases using existing law as it has waited for Congress to pass legislation. A Senate bill limiting heat-trapping gases has stalled.

Energy Secretary Steven Chu said on Thursday that the President is unlikely to sign it.

10. Yet one more reason why

the election on Tuesday of centerfold Scott Brown of the teabaggers isn't that relevant to the current congress. The assholes listed may call themselves Democrats but they are nothing more than simple DINOS.
