You also think they would be proudly promoting their vote for O-care and support of Crap and Tax. The silence is deafening.
Interesting that cap-and-trade was also a Republican proposal.
not even close
Close to what Willbeur?
You being proven wrong again?
I'm pretty sure we're awful close to that:
Remember when Republicans liked cap-and-trade?
Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.): With his recent swing to the right, McCain's become one of the leaders of the GOP's "cap-and-tax" chorus. Yes, this is the same guy who cosponsored the first cap-and-trade bills in the Senate in 2003, 2005, and 2007, and who said this during his run for the White House in 2008: A cap-and-trade policy will send a signal that will be heard and welcomed all across the American economy. And the highest rewards will go to those who make the smartest, safest, most responsible choices.
Come to the dark side: Steve Benen, writing in Washington Monthly, digs deeper into the morphing of the GOP into carbon-cap naysayers: Cap-and-trade -- any version of it -- has been deemed wholly unacceptable by Republicans this year. But given the intense opposition to the idea, it's easy to forget that Republicans used to consider cap-and-trade a reasonable, market-based mechanism that was far preferable to command-and-control directives that the right found offensive.
