Hot Air reported on Thursday that three Democrat Senators have signed on to a bill co-sponsored by thirty-five Republicans stating that a rule submitted by the EPA to regulate greenhouse gasses "shall have no force or effect." The bill would bar the EPA from regulating greenhouse gases.
Ben Nelson of Nebraska, Mary Landrieu of Louisiana, and Blanche Lincoln of Arkansas are the three Senators that voted with the Republicans. Ben Nelson and Blanche Lincoln also voted with John Thune (a Republican) to end the TARP program. That vote failed.
The writing is on the wall. The American voter does not support radical leftist policies. If the Democrat leadership chooses to ignore this fact, the election in November will be a resounding defeat for the Democrat party. The entire House of Representatives is up for election every two years, so the members of the House have to be careful how they vote. Senators are reelected every six years on a rotating basis. The three Senators named above are all up for election this year.
A lot can happen between now and November, but generally speaking, this could be a very interesting year!
