Cap and Trade

So the House passed the Cap and Trade bill on Friday without reading it. Why am I not surprised? Eight RINOs voted for it too. As i understand it, the bill was well over 1,200 pages, virtually insuring almost no one would read it. The appropriate response to being asked to vote for something I hadn’t read can’t be posted here. This is a “family” blog (mostly) after all.

There was however one rep in particular who stood out for his resistance to this pile of crap.

Minority Leader John Boehner (R-Ohio) had a few choice words about House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s (D-Calif.) landmark climate-change bill after its passage Friday.

When asked why he read portions of the cap-and-trade bill on the floor Friday night, Boehner told The Hill, “Hey, people deserve to know what’s in this pile of s–t.”

Using his privilege as leader to speak for an unlimited time on the House floor, Boehner spent an hour reading from the 1200-plus page bill that was amended 20 hours before the lower chamber voted 219-212 to approve it.
