"Screw You" is what Gary Peters, Barack Obama, and the Democrats in Congress Intend to Say to Voters by Passing Climate Bill

Via RealClearPolitics, Mike Allen broke this disgusting story yesterday:

Phil Schiliro, the White House congressional liaison, has told the Senate to aim to take up an energy bill the week of July 12, after the July 4 break (and after the scheduled final passage of Wall Street reform). Kagan confirmation will follow, ahead of the summer break, scheduled to begin Aug. 9. The plan is to conference the new Senate bill with the already-passed House bill IN A LAME-DUCK SESSION AFTER THE ELECTION, so House members don't ave to take another tough vote ahead of midterms.

A White House aide has the official word: "President Obama reiterated his call for comprehensive energy and climate legislation to break our dependence on oil and fossil fuels. In the coming weeks he will be reaching out to Senators on both sides of the aisle to chart a path forward. A number of proposals have been put forward from Members on both sides of the aisle. We're open to good ideas from all sources, and will be working with Senators on a comprehensive proposal. The tragedy in the Gulf underscores the need to move quickly, and the President is committed to finding the votes for comprehensive energy legislation this year."

Gary Peters, Democrats in Congress, and Democratic President Barack Obama know that the people don't want this cap-and-tax bill passed. They know without a certainty of a doubt that the voters DO NOT want the bill. The will of the people has been clearly expressed to them, and the Democrats totally understand that there is no way that voters want anything to do with this bill. And yet they intend on passing it anyway.

If you tell someone not to do something, you demonstrate through actions (like an election) that you don't want someone to do something, and then they look at you and do it anyways, what are they telling you? Gary Peters, Democratic Congressman from Michigan's 9th District, is telling his constituents "screw you." Barack Obama, Democratic President, is telling the people of the United States "screw you." They know that people don't want the bill passed, and yet are going to pass it anyway, in defiance of the public will, in disregard to the public will, and in disrespect to the public will.

This isn't Bush surging troops in Iraq when the 'public was against it'- polling data was pretty inconclusive on the War in Iraq, and if it was unpopular, it was marginally so (although vocally so in a certain segment of the population). And Bush was proud of the surge- he thought it would work and that voters would reward his party in the coming elections from its success (it did work but voters are idiots and punished him for winning an 'unwinnable' war). The cap and tax bill is different- voters are solidly against it , and have been for a long time, and in a consistent manner, and getting more and more against, and Democrats know it won't work, are not proud of it, and don't want to run on its success because they know it is going to be a failure. And yet they'll pass it anyway.

"Screw you America" is the new slogan of the Democrats. I'm not going to take this any more- everyone in my Congressman's district needs to know that this is how the Democrats think. Throw the bums out.
