1. Seriously? Oh well, at least these turncoats have the guts to do it publicly...

...With Democrats like this, who needs republicans?

2. Are these ASSHOLES INSANE???? WTF!!!!! This our Planet...for ALL of US

What are they doing to Promote efforts to Keep impacting our Mother Earth with Bad Shit?

Do they not understand Biology???

This is an example of poor voting and poor leadership...

Never vote for them peeps that destroy our Planet

Vote Blue....

3. Collin Peterson, again.

Why doesn't he just declare himself officially a Republican and be done with it? He almost always votes with them anyhow. And he's from a rural district that doesn't even have power plants, so I don't know whose ass he's kissing with this one.

:puke:

5. The same could be said for Boren as well

As for Rahall, they hate the EPA in West Virginia so no surprise there

6. For his election funding. Koch Bros and such.

8. I just wrote to him. He has no listing for "Environmental" comments.

4. Since when are rightwing Dems

something new? This is a Republican bill. Every single one of them will vote for it. The Republican Party is a political machine (the term left wing Repug is a "say what?" oxymoron). Bashing Democrats is something they deserve on a regular basis because many of them are second class Republicans. That shouldn't detract from the fact that all Republicans are first class corporate whores all the time.

7. Oil resource depletion is coming very soon

Let them do stupid little stunts like this while ignoring the elephant in the room.

10. Brazil's field is coming online

And it is huge. We'll be poisoning our children for a while yet.

[texastoast]

9. They need to switch parties and come smell some Pasadena, Texas air or better yet

Move their children here.

[Uncle Joe]

11. I can understand the narrow, self-interested view of the Reps from West Virginia and Oklahoma as

those states are heavily vested in the fossil fuel industry, but what's up with Minnesota?:shrug:

12. STARTING

13. dont waste the bullet

We will surely die from this legislation

[unkachuck]

14. "Nick Rahall, Collin Peterson, Dan Boren...."

....three good reasons to reform the Democratic Party....the Party needs to be transformed into a Party with REAL discipline in order to be taken seriously.

"...drafted by Republicans that bars the EPA from using federal law to control greenhouse gases from power plants, refineries and other industrial facilities."

this is from the 2008 Democratic Partys' platform..

"We will reinvigorate the Environmental Protection Agency so that we can work with our communities to reduce air and water pollution and protect our children from environmental toxins, and never sacrifice science to politics."

"...and never sacrifice science to politics."

....it's obvious that these three dinos could care less about us or our children....a heavy price should be extracted for betraying the Party....

15. It's stories like this that really drive home how pointless it all is.

Most people just don't give a shit about anything more than lining their pockets, even if it means destroying the planet.

16. Can't say I disagree with you.
