Senator Inhofe said:

"As I suspected, reality hit the U.S. Senate when the economic facts of this bill were exposed. When faced with the inconvenient truth of the bill’s impact on skyrocketing gas prices, very few Senators were willing to even debate this bill.”

...the citizenry be damned. Joe Lieberman wouldn't know a free market if it took a dump in his lap. Neither would McCain or Warner. They're all professional pigs who've been feeding at the public trough for too long. Let's get rid of them using the power of the ballot box (unless they've stolen that away too.) then another, non-violent, means will have to be found. We could start by repealing the 17th Amendment. Thats the illegal, unconstitutional amendment that founded the world's most exclusive club.

Here is the typical response I always get from Lieberman

Dear Mr. .....

Thank you for writing to me regarding your opposition to climate change legislation. I respectfully disagree with your position and view climate change as the most important environmental challenge of our time.

A recent report by the Nobel prize-winning Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) found that greenhouse gases released by human activities, such as burning oil in our cars and coal in our power plants, have caused most of the global warming observed over the last 50 years. Business leaders and environmental groups agree that we can and must act now to curb global warming pollution. For example, the U.S. Climate Action Partnership, which contains major companies like Alcoa, BP, Dow, Dupont, Exelon, Ford, General Electric, General Motors, and Shell, has called for mandatory greenhouse gas regulation.

In January of 2007, Senator John McCain (R-AZ) and I reintroduced our Climate Stewardship and Innovation Act (CSIA; S. 280), bipartisan legislation designed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions substantially across all major sectors of the U.S. economy. S. 280 would cap the overall greenhouse gas emissions from the electricity generation, transportation, industrial, and commercial economic sectors and create a market for individual companies to trade pollution credits. By using the power of the free market to promote the rapid and widespread deployment of advanced technologies, the new law would strengthen this country's economic position while also protecting our children and grandchildren from the threat of a diminished future.

Senator John Warner (R-VA) and I also introduced the Lieberman-Warner Climate Security Act (S. 3036), a new, bipartisan, economy-wide, cap-and-trade climate bill which draws upon the CSIA, other existing bills, and new ideas. This legislation provides the framework for action on climate change that must begin in the 110th Congress. To that end, Senator Warner and I held a hearing on our legislation before the Senate Subcommittee on Private Sector and Consumer Solutions to Global Warming on October 24. On November 1, as the Chairman of the subcommittee, I, along with Senator Warner, the Ranking Member, successfully reported this legislation to the full Senate Environment and Public Works Committee, which approved it on December 5, 2007; and we now encourage action by the full Senate as soon as possible on this most important of environmental issues.
