The Republicans should say they want to discuss the job killing, economy destroying “cap and trade” bill — and discuss it in the context of the global warming fraud. And then put forward a program to get the economy moving again. Certainly energy development could be an important part of that. They could also offer up a health care bill that could be passed into law in thirty days (it would include tort reform and a national market for insurance).

The Left always focuses on winning the argument, not solving the problem. And the argument they seek to win is always the same: Give us more power (it is for your own good). The Climate Change “scientific distortions” is classic Leftist behavior. After all, if you actually want to design a solution to a problem, you want accurate information. But if your objective is to acquire more power, information is withheld or used or distorted as needed. Expect just such a performance from the White House and most of the media.

As part of their power grab the Democrats are organizing Washington Centered Cartels in Finance, Manufacturing, Insurance, Health Care and energy production. These cartels will exploit the American people — even the ordinary Americans who are employed by the industries in the Cartels (which will be run for the benefit of the politically connected). Obama’s health care proposals would result in just such a bureaucratic and hyper-regulated boondoggle. Republicans should simply state that they will not aid the Democrats in creating their Cartels, and will seek to dismantle them at the first opportunity.
