Inhofe to Tom Coburn: “There’s nothing nice about Nancy”

Senator Inhofe sets Tom Coburn straight on House Speaker Pelosi.

“There’s nothing nice about Nancy,” Inhofe said during an interview on KFAQ radio in Oklahoma this morning. “She disagrees with everything we believe.”…

“She is nice – how many of you all have met her? She’s a nice person,” Coburn said. “Just because somebody disagrees with you don’t mean they’re not a good person.”

Inhofe had a slightly different take.

“She is a powerful person,” he said. “People wonder how she can keep getting reelected — just go out to her district.”

Democrat Barbara Boxer Throws Out Rule Book To Move Cap & Tax

Senate rules require at least two Republicans to be present before a committee can pass a bill to the floor. Senator Barbara Boxer threw the rule book out the window and voted the Cap and Trade bill out of the committee without a single Republican present.

Senator Jim Inhofe (R-OK) discusses the outrageous move. He calls Cap and Trade a 'Monstrous Tax.'

EPA Admits Cap and Trade Won’t Work W/O China and India

Sen. James Inhofe (R-Okla.)got EPA Administrator Jackson to admit that Cap and Trade by the US alone would have no impact. We need China and India to join. They aren't interested.

From The Heritage Foundation:

Moreover, it should be a red flag when the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) admits cap and trade won’t work. At yesterday’s hearing before the Senate Environment Public Works Committee,

EPA Administrator Jackson confirmed an EPA analysis showing that unilateral U.S. action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions would have no effect on climate. Moreover, when presented with an EPA chart depicting that outcome, Energy Secretary Steven Chu said he disagreed with EPA’s analysis.

“I believe the central parts of the [EPA] chart are that U.S. action alone will not impact world CO2 levels,” Administrator Jackson said.

Sen. James Inhofe (R-Okla.) presented the chart to both Jackson and Secretary Chu, which shows that meaningful emissions reductions cannot occur without aggressive action by China, India, and other developing countries. “I am encouraged that Administrator Jackson agrees that unilateral action by the U.S. will be all cost for no climate gain,” Sen. Inhofe said. “With China and India recently issuing statements of defiant opposition to mandatory emissions controls, acting alone through the job-killing Waxman-Markey bill would impose severe economic burdens on American consumers, businesses, and families, all without any impact on climate.”

Sen. Jim Inhofe: 'Cap And Trade' Dead in Senate

Cap and Trade has passed the House, but it will have a tougher time in the Senate. Sen.Jim Inhofe (R-OK) has declared it dead on arrival.

The Countywide & Sun reported:

Passing President Obama's cap and trade energy program would cost the average Oklahoma family $3,200 a year, Sen. Jim Inhofe said Friday, but he's confident the measure will be killed in the Senate no matter what happens in the House of Representatives.

The Tulsa Republican, a longtime critic of what he considers 'this hoax called global warming,' made his latest statements during a morning stop in Shawnee while House members in Washington were preparing to vote on the controversial issue.

"Between the years of 1998 and 2005, I was the only member of the United States Senate who would take on what I call 'the Hollywood elitists' and the United Nations on this hoax called global warming and I went through seven years of purgatory on that issue.

But now I've been redeemed and the vast majority of the scientific community has now said Inhofe's right and the United Nations is wrong and those individuals have now said no, the science is not there and these are natural cycles."

This disastrous legislation would never have passed the House without the votes of eight turncoat Republicans. Fifty Democrats joined the Republican minority in opposition to this bill. Here are the names of the Republican turncoats.

Castle
Kirk
