Monday's unveiling of a compromise Senate climate bill was postponed on Saturday, Democratic Senator John Kerry said, after a dispute arose over unrelated immigration reform legislation. Republican Senator Lindsey Graham said earlier on Saturday he would have to pull out of the bipartisan climate change effort because of concerns Democrats would push forward with a debate on immigration reform, rather than the climate change bill, in the Senate. Kerry said he hoped to keep working for passage of a climate bill. He said that after more than six months of detailed meetings with Graham and independent Senator Joseph Lieberman, "we believe that we had reached" an agreement on the details of a bill to reduce smokestack emissions of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases associated with global warming. They were planning to outline those details at a news conference on Monday that would have been attended by some environmental and industry representatives...moreSomething is awfully fishy here. Let's be kind and hope Graham finally realized this was a bill to ration energy and raise taxes.

The trick here is that Americans are not interested in climate change anymore, they are interested in jobs and keeping their homes. The Dems are ignoring what poll after poll has said, that cliamte change is a non-issue now. They are continuing with their ideology, to push up the cost of energy and everything, place people under thier control, and never address the real problems people face. Well if you were an overpaid elected official, living in a mansion, attending big dinners, being driven around in limos every day, you'd be out of touch with your constituants too. Come November, it will be time for change the Dems can believe in.
