Rep Barlett of Maryland is so excited about this you would think he was a freshman. But then he had help with this insanity from Markey and Skelton, both Democrats. Of course they would help you with this, they are Democrats and their god who invented the internet has declared with all his scientific wisdom that his version of global warming is the right one.

At least this saves time for this blog. We usually find single references to an individual politician behaving badly. This is a three for one deal. The really sad part is this may be the only example of both parties working together this year. (besides screwing us on immigration) And in reality it is probably one minority party member being had by two majority party members. Ok, the really sad thing is the three of them caused a problem for all of us. Spending money on one more unproven adventure into the current global warming craze. How about we get something resembling consensus in the public at large before we go off half-cocked spending additional public funds.

SKELTON STATEMENT ON HOUSE IRAQ RESOLUTION

Ike SkeltonWASHINGTON, DC – House Armed Services Committee Chairman Ike Skelton (D-MO) addressed the U.S. House of Representatives today during debate on H. Con. Res. 63, disapproving the decision of the President to deploy more than 20,000 additional United States combat troops to Iraq. Attached please find a copy of Skelton’s prepared remarks:

Mr. Chairman, maybe the reason troops have died in Afghanistan, Iraq and elsewhere is partly due to those in this nation who have done their level best to encourage the opponents of the democracy you are sworn to defend. Put aside your complaints whether they are honest or political and get behind the military so Iraq can get on with its future. The same goes for other issues like Afghanistan. You may have noticed North Korea and SOB Sadr are now paying attention. That won’t last long if you and others continue to withhold support.
