The above headline is a bit misleading, but, so too, are 12 Democrat, and one Republican senators. Let me explain.

Why Obama doesn’t need Congress

By SoundOffSister / December 22, 2010 /

With Obama’s recent “compromise” on not raising taxes for anyone, much has been said about the possibility that Obama, like Clinton before him, is moving to the center. He isn’t, he doesn’t have to, and he doesn’t need Congress to accomplish his agenda.

Gore compares global warming battle to fighting Nazis

By Steve McGough / July 7, 2009 /

The Goreacle is a strange duck. For some reason, he’s equating himself to Winston Churchill trying to convince the world the Nazis were out-of-control. There is a big difference between the Nazis tearing across Europe and, well, the normal warming and cooling of the planet.

The cost of “going green”

By SoundOffSister / May 12, 2010 /

Three newspaper articles caught my eye today, on the energy front, that is. The first, entitled Welfare Wagons, begins as follows: Congratulations. You’re about to buy a fancy new Nissan Leaf or Chevy Volt . . . for someone else. It seems that the cost of producing an electric car is considerably higher than what…

By Steve McGough / August 3, 2009 /

… if you make less than $250,000; or was it $208,000? Either way, President Obama assured Americans making less than the aforementioned figures would not pay “one more dime” in taxes. So why won’t Obama administration officials back up the boss?

EPA administrator Lisa Jackson testifies before the United States Senate committee regarding the proposed energy bill

Hoist Yer Sails, Matey

By SoundOffSister / April 12, 2009 /

Much has been written about “Cap and Trade” recently.  Regardless of it’s “good intentions”, I suspect most would refer to it as the largest proposed regressive tax increase in this country’s history.  But, apparently not satisfied with the crippling effects this legislation would have on our economy, Congressional democrats are now proposing even stiffer energy…
