Comments on: Brown Dogs Poised To Block Green Economy Legislation http://wonkroom.thinkprogress.org/2009/05/27/brown-blue-dogs/ Thu, 26 Nov 2009 16:42:01 -0500 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.5 hourly 1 By: afisher http://wonkroom.thinkprogress.org/2009/05/27/brown-blue-dogs/comment-page-1/#comment-153565 afisher Mon, 01 Jun 2009 16:49:22 +0000 http://wonkroom.thinkprogress.org/?p=11872#comment-153565 It is truely disheartening that these elected legislators are more concerned about their next own personal re-election than they are the continued quality of life of the entire country. I hope they can explain to their son / daughters and grandchildren that the immediate re-election was certainly more important than long term consequences of doing nothing to save the air quality, available drinking water, etc. Soon, it won't matter if we do or do not have health reform as the environmental quality will affect all and no amount of healthcare will be able to resolve all the medical problems associated with a contaminated continent. Is this going to be the rallying cry of the Blue/Brown Dogs?

Is this going to be the rallying cry of the Blue/Brown Dogs?

This bill will be so eviscerated by the likes of Peterson (from my home state ) and friends that we who started out supporting Waxman-Markey will have to disown in at birth.
