If this adminstration passes this cap and trade during the lame duck period, no one will forget it. They will be reminded every time they buy gas or pay their utilitity bills.How can anyone who loves this country strap the American this way? I don’t care what party you support you cannot let these people bring us to our knees.
The Democratic party is not what it was 60 or so years ago. It has been infiltrated by Socialist’s and Marcist’s. This President is going to distroy us , unless he and his party is voted out. No real american would distroy this country. We have a president who is not a citizen of this country and the American people should start a fund to anyone who could prove this man is not a citizen.

If the lame duck congress passes the cap and trade people will not forget in 2012. They will be reminded every time they buy gas or get their utility bills. The American people must understand that voting for this president and his Congress is going to bring this country to it’s knees.

Neo- I think that more than likely the Democrat senators who come up for election in 2012 and 2014 are hoping (against hope) that the “good” features of the healthcare bill will have come into play by then and they will then be heroes to their constituencies. If they did not delude themselves as to the supposed benefits of the bill then why did they so easily allow themselves to vote for it. Cap’n tax will have more immediate and very local consequences, especially where there is a strong reliance on coal fired energy or the need to drive far to get to work. Higher energy prices will enrage the electorate. Remember the anger at $4.00 per gallon gasoline just two years ago while most of us still had jobs and tax rates were lower than what we are probably going to experience beginning in 2011.

It’s hard work but everyone should attempt to read “The Oxford History of the French Revolution.”

Lots of interesting anecdotes to think about.

The more radical the legislation rammed down our throats, the more egregious Obama’s actions… the greater the blowback will eventually be.

Pendulums swing in two directions. The further it is pushed to one side, the farther it will rebound in the other direction.

If transformation to socialism is what they seek to impose, rebellion is what they shall have.

“”and can vote for cap and trade in exchange for whatever perks they might get afterward from the leadership””

They will get no perks. What they’ll get is a lifetime in miserable seclusion to escape the hell that patriotic Americans will be obligated to rain down on them.

The amnesty issue has been foreseen. A letter from republican senators has been sent to Obama and the issue is being publicized.

The question is whether Obama will try it, not whether he wants to or not (I’m fairly certain he does want to). If he does take the step, it will be because he has been more and more emboldened by the steps he’s already taken in the direction of circumventing Congressional power, without too much pushback.

In the case of amnesty, if he does go that far, at least then the situation (and its Hugo Chavez-like nature) will finally be apparent to the American people (or about 70% of them). Of course, by the time such things are that apparent to that many people, it is usually too late.

Exactly.
Unfortunately, I think it may already be too late.
The democrats are ruthless, and the republicans are too busy apologizing for telling the truth (the BP shakedown slush fund.)

After a country goes socialist, it never come back.

When our financial collapse comes, the same criminals will still be in charge of the government.

It seems more and more democrats are actually encouraging Obama to become a full blown dictator.
They actually say it out loud in front of television cameras now. They do this because they have nothing to fear.
