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.
Eight Republicans voted with Democrats to pass the bill; 44 House Democrats voted against it. Pelosi’s office declined to comment on Boehner’s jab. But one Democratic aide quipped, “What do you expect from a guy who thinks global warming is caused by cow manure?”
Even though Sen. Majorty Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) holds the bill’s fate in his hands, House Republicans intend to hammer Speaker Pelosi’s signature climate-change measure over recess. (Read more.)
B.S. Report–Voting for a bill as damaging and irresponsible as the “climate-change” bill proves that many (if not most) politicians are interested in increasing their own power and not the welfare of the country.
This bill will further hamstring the country’s economy at the worst possible time–right in the midst of a recession. The American people don’t want this country irreversibly transformed and we especially don’t deserve to be hit with the biggest tax hike in our nation’s history.
Above all, the Congress of the United States at present is loaded down with the most corrupt, the most inept, and least intelligent office-holders since our nation’s founding. There is a fifth column in this country–and many of its members reside in our hallowed halls and vote on legislation specifically designed to destroy the country.
THE B.S. REPORT 
Obama claimed that the average American would not bear the brunt of this historic tax-increase: he stated that instead “It is paid for by the polluters who currently emit dangerous carbon emissions.”
Just compare this outrageous falsehood to Ronald Reagans’ famous quote:
“The most dangerous myth is the demagoguery that business can be made to pay a larger share, thus relieving the individual.
Politicians preaching this are either deliberately dishonest, or economically illiterate, and either one should scare us.
Business doesn’t pay taxes, and who better than business to make this message known? Only people pay taxes, and people pay as consumers every tax that is assessed against a business.”
And after the way the rammed this through the House with little debate, without legislators even reading it… and while quarantining the GOP from any meaningful input whatsoever, any foolhardy individuals who still believe Obama’s threadbare “bipartisanship” spiel ought to have their head examined.
