Stupid Obama Democrats

The Obama Democrats in the U.S. Senate are at it again. Frustrated by lack of support for their absurd, economy-killing scheme to raise taxes on every American and throttle energy availability known as "Cap-and- Trade," they are opportunistically taking advantage of the tragic Gulf oil spill to push it back to the top of their disastrous socialist agenda. Not satisfied with the massive growth of Big Government they have imposed upon the American taxpayer after the "Stimulus," takeovers of private enterprise, and the atrocious seizure of our health care freedoms, they are desperate to squeeze even more income and liberty from our citizens with their greedy assault on energy production and use. Senate Democrat Leader Harry Reid, with the blessing of President Obama, has said he wants a Cap-and-Trade Bill by the end of July. He has informed his committee chairs to look for every possible way to extract more punishing taxes from energy producers -- who will be forced to lay off workers or pass along the higher costs to consumers, already staggered by the Obama Democrats' economy-crippling dithering and spending. And Washington's leading Cap-and-Trade proponent, Sen. John Kerry, couldn't be happier, saying, "this is just what we needed with Congress coming back into session...just as we saw with health care, when the president throws down the gauntlet, and puts his prestige on the line and puts the full weight of the White House behind it, we can do big things." Big things, like foisting yet another oppressive and unnecessary leftist boondoggle on the overburdened backs of the American taxpayer.
