Rep. Anthony Weiner stands up for Pelosi
Personally I've found the GOP's sudden interest in protecting the nation from green house gases an interesting development. But Representative Weiner brings up an interesting point, who are they having a fight with exactly? It's pretty much everyone else (even the White House disagrees with them) in the world verses the crazies in the Republican caucus in the House. I know for the GOP the most important thing in the world is politics and keeping Congress from doing meaningful business is their only goal in life, but honestly if we have situation where the President and Vice President were incapable of protecting America (which we can debate if that's a daily occurrence or not), do you really want to cause a breakdown in the chain of command and leave America vulnerable and unable to respond in the mean time? This is the party of national security??? They are basically screaming on the House floor that they don't care if our country is unable to defend itself in a crisis. I mean honestly if the GOP is so worried about it then add a Terrapass cost requirement to the Pelosi trips. I mean go a step further and require a Terrapass for every single government trip or vehicle. If the GOP is serious about the problem let's fix it, if they are just wasting time for the sake of wasting the tax payers dollars, then like Representative Weiner says they will be the minority party for the foreseeable future, which is fine with me, Republicans have little to contribute to the national debate on any subject.
