Renewable Energy bill blocked again

[Dana]

Beenthere, Our primary is on Aug 5, and I already voted. Absentee. I agree totally with your assesment on the gas tax "holiday". I would also include the economic stimulus checks in the pork spending.

The other day some Senator for the Mid-Atlantic region was interviewed about all the pork he brings home. He proudly said he gets his constituents their share of the "free money". The reporter noted that outside of Washington that free money is known as tax money.

This just goes along with how out of touch our Congressmen are.

Can we all at least agree that these buffoons are out of touch with reality?

I saw this today, and it put things in perspective...

Iraq war spending vs. spending on renewable energy

Well...YOUR buffoons may be out of touch, but mine (imo) do a pretty good job.

Ohio is represented by Sen Voinovich (R) and Sen. Brown (D) and both work hard to represent the interests of Ohio.  Neither always represents mainstream views and they both have the view of promoting programs for the state they represent over party interests. 

My local Representative, I'm less thrilled with, but he does a far better job than the buffoon he replaced...so I guess we are a step ahead of getting the buffoons out down here.

So go ahead and throw your bums out.  My GOOD representatives will therefore have more experience than your freshmen congressmen, will have better positions in committees and will likely be able to get more money for our state than your youngin's will get.  (said only partially tongue in cheek)
