POINT:
"The Waxman-Markey bill would set many records: the biggest tax
increase in history; the biggest government intervention in
people's lives since the Second World War; the biggest transfer
of wealth from consumers to special interests in American
history; and the biggest opportunity for corruption and
manipulation by Wall Street traders ever created. It would cause
consumer energy prices to go up relentlessly for decades, create
some jobs while destroying millions of jobs, and produce
perpetual economic stagnation."

Easy answer: BOO!

Boo to what?

Harder answer, was WWII worth it? Is the longer term worth it?
Are your children's future worth it?

Worth not passing legislatioin that even the sponsor doesn't know
the contents of? Absolutely. Your childrens' futures should be
worth it, too.

You mean, like the P.A.T.R.I.O.T. act?

You're probably right. John Conyers probably didn't understand what
the bill involved.

John Conyers, lol







I'd hold off on the talking points until you understood the entire
picture.

Which talking points, Dave?

The ones you posted?

The one in favor of the bill, singing it's praises or the more reality
based one?




Of course, you could just go off on it prematurely, and try to get
it nixed out of ignorance.

You mean like the main sponsor is doing?

Does it really not concern you at all when the sponsor of the bill
doesn't know the specifics it contains?

Pretty normal for large bills.

Such as?

Pretty much any of them. Why, do you have reliable information to the
contrary, or do you just think these guys are elected because of their
photographic memories?
