Drudge Retort: Red Meat for Yellow Dogs
Thursday, July 02, 2009

When House Democratic leaders were rounding up votes Friday for the massive climate-change bill, they paid special attention to their colleagues from Ohio who remained stubbornly undecided.

They finally secured the vote of one Ohioan, veteran Democratic Rep. Marcy Kaptur of Toledo, the old-fashioned way. They gave her what she wanted - a new federal power authority, similar to Washington state's Bonneville Power Administration, stocked with up to $3.5 billion in taxpayer money available for lending to renewable energy and economic development projects in Ohio and other Midwestern states.

Its no wonder that projects are so expensive when just to get a bill passed we have to pay off our representatives to vote for them.

Chump change.

How's that Hope and "CHANGE" working out?

I think many were just happy with the change in primary resident of the whitehouse. All the other changes they wanted, well... that's what the hope is for.

what h.c. said...

We elected these douchebags, and now the bills are coming due.

This is nothing compared to what Al Whore and Nancy 'Stretch' Pelosi will make.

Just follow the money and see what these jerks will be earning in the years to come.

The Senate can't pass this bill--send emails folks!

Business as usual?

i don't usually watch hannity, but he had a full hour this evening of 100 places where some of the stimulus/bailout funds were going - thought i'd gag on my stirfry on quite a few of them.

how can we sustain this sort of spending?

Nanc,

How about the estimated $3 TRILLION that will eventually be spent on Jeff Gannon's girlfriend's war on Sadam?

Doesn't that make you gag on your tofu?

Hannity bitches about a handfull of projects that get a few thousand dollars each while the ugly cocksucker was one of the leading propogandists to get us to declare war on Sadam so Haliburton could make hundreds of billions in profits.

Some skanked out bitch on FOX was pissing her diapers about some golf course in Oregon. She loudly announced the total cost of the project (paid for by some greedy corporation, no doubt) and screeched at the top of her lungs that stimulus money was being spent on it. The dishonest bitch implied that the full price was being paid by stimulus money when the truth was that only a small percentage of the INTEREST on the construction loan was subsidized.

She ignored the fact that PEOPLE would be hired to build the damned thing. And that PEOPLE would be hired to work there. And that LOCAL BUSINESSES would benefit from the additional business it would bring to the area. And that local government and local citizens would benefit from the higher tax base.


This is the type of lie that FOX sells 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

If you watch FOX, please go play in traffic. Do it NOW!!!

perhaps she was against this before she was for it...i didn't find this on fox news. take this up with the bitches who're spending your grandchildren's inheritance.

so Haliburton could make hundreds of billions in profits.

wow, my (Dem Ohio) Rep Boccieri voted yes & didn't get a thing . . . what a dummy

hopefully he has job contacts, the congress gig just ain't his thing . . .
in 2012 the voters is our Dem coal energy area will replace his ass with someone who will listen when calls are 90 to 1 against the way he voted

Gee---3.5 billion for renewable energy projects in Ohio and other MidWestern States---and you MORONS think that is a bad thing?

It will help the economies of those States, and maybe find us some alternatives to killing ourselves with oil.

What a bunch of IDIOTS.

ok - - yippe, Kaptur's cousin will likely be the authorized dealer for the chinese windmills that they'll place thru-out the great lakes

btw, oil is a natural resource, how are we killing ourselves with it??
