The fools can't follow the example of China and India. India announced yesterday that they won't try to control emissions. In other words they would reject "Cap and Trade", if they had to decide. "India cannot and will not take emission reduction targets because poverty eradication and social and economic development are first and over-riding priorities," a statement on behalf of Environment Minister Jairam Ramesh said.

"A legally binding emission reduction target endangers India's energy conservation, food security and transport, he said."

May I suggest that "Cap and Trade" will do exactly the same here in the United States. Now let's take a look at China.

China refuses to cut carbon emissions. Qin Gang, a Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman, said that China was still a developing country and its priority was to develop its economy, alleviate poverty and raise living standards. “Given that, it is natural for China to have some increase in emissions, so it is not possible for China to accept a binding or compulsory target.” he said.

Does the United States want to quit developing, quit alleviating poverty, and quit raising living standards?

Senators; take a lesson from India and China. Americans; don't fall for "Cap and Trade".

Fool Rule scares me to death!

Who's leading the conversation?

This visualization below allows you to see the impact that each user has on the current conversation. The top row contains the group of users who have had the most impact, the 2nd row the group of users who have had the 2nd most impact (et cetera). Users with similar impact are grouped together, and the average score of the group is shown to the left of the group. The author of the article is also shown on the left, in their corresponding group. Each user's score is based on the number of comments the user has made plus the number of votes their comments have received. The scores are calculated relative one another, so while their absolute value is not particularly important, their relative difference does indicate a larger difference in impact on the conversation.

I just heard today that India had rejected emission control. Are our senators too misguided to know what the rest of the world thinks about cap and trade? Are we going to make fools of our self with the rest of the world? Maybe I shouldn't ask that question.

You're right about not caring, I don't see where they suffer any kind of consequences. Rush Limbaugh and the other media can say what they want, but it doesn't bother them. It looks like Sanford believes that he can get away with fooling around, and it just could be that he'll get away with it. It's sad, but true.

I tell ya what I wish Sanford would shut up already and resign. I mean I really don't want to hear him tell anymore details of his "forbidden love". He was married, if he wanted to be single and play the field he should've manned up and divorced his wife first. I'm seeing that alot of SC Repubs are calling for him to step down, as well he should.

Maybe his wife has money, and Sanford wants to keep her money and his sweetie too. Who knows?

Cap and trade is a very good idea - if you live in a greenhouse!

Unfortunately setting strict emissions standards for only ourselves will hurt our economy even worse, and leave the real polluting countries with an upper hand: cheaper products, better trade balance, better economy. There are no real enticement for them to stop polluting, whatsoever.

Who figured this would be a good idea in an America in recession? Oh - him...

You can't depend on "the war in Iraq is lost" Reid to think properly. Neither can Boxer and Feinstein come up with anything close to common sense. How about Dodd, Durbin, Chucky Schumer, and Specter? Then there's Snowe, Franken, and Collins. My vote...no confidence.

Usfreestar, common sense in congress...they wouldn't know common sense if it crawled up their butt and died. I've never seen such an out of touch group of people in my life. They live in this "beltway bubble" and they think that nothing exists outside of it.

A lot of them are rule fools. How many people in congress could be called a rule fool? The name fits Barney Frank to a tee. Can the argument be made that Reid has common sense? Does Pelosi have common sense? Does Obama have common sense?
