SEN. REID: "We raised the fuel efficiency of automobiles"

[momma0524]

I understand how Congress works and have been there to see it in action. It's two different ideas fighting back and forth until one finally gives a little. I love how now these fuel effeciant cars are 5-10(depending on car)k more than a regualar car and it will take 5 yrs to make up for the gave you save. Wonderful, if our local govt leaders would make our cities more walk/bike friendly we wounldnot have to drive.

35mi/gal = nothing

Who Cares Harry Reid, you are stupid.

Vote Ron Paul.

[truthadvocate]

Thank you Harry for putting the poor and middle class at risk. Heavier cars save thousands of lives every year. However, they are less fuel-efficient. Your increased regulations force auto makers to limit production and raise the cost of safer cars so only the wealthy can be safe, while the poor and middle class are forced to buy the death traps that are slightly more fuel efficient. Once again you screw the middle class you claim to protect.

Power to Senator Harry Reid. 35 miles per gallon isnt much but it's a start!

It's sad to see opposition from big oil as they hold the biggest key to alternative fuels.

I just hope the 300 million per gallon Hybrid Aptera will change it all in 2009. GOOO green energy! :)

You don't think that in some sort of little crazy idea that the oil companies and automobile companies pass love notes conversing in less efficient cars equals more money for both of them. Less efficient cars equals more money for big oil, and they also mean they are cheaper to make because theres no technology in them. A regular gasoline engine could be made wayyy more efficient than what we have these days. But don't expect to see that anytime soon.

[LatteLiberal]

Stop lying to America you stupid liberals! Fuel economy doesnt work! Hybrids dont work, solar panels dont work and this guy wants THIRTY FIVE MILES PER GALLON? Are you people crazy? Nobody is going to drive a golf cart and live in a cave! NO PATRIOTIC AMERICAN WILL TOLERATE THIS! In JESUS NAME I PRAY!

[retrop75]

Whoopdee doo Harry. Congrats on taking it up the ass from Bush on wiretaps. Harry Reid is the biggest disappointment in Democratic party history. PUSSY.

[Crickettedog]

@retrop75: Why don't you learn how your government functions? If you had any idea how your government functions you wouldn't post a stupid message like you did. Senator Harry Reid is not a dictator like Bush. Senator Reid abides by the rules of the Senate. He knows all about the rule of law. You show your stupidity by implying that you know about the history of the Democratic Party. You know nothing about how Congress functions.

Will people please investigate reputable resources for information before they comment on Global Warming. Resources like the ipcc.

[marxbitesall]

I know, lets do some worldwide mass exterminations, like the NWO cabal has planned.

In case you needle-minded dolts don't get it, governments by themselves, represent the worlds heaviest polluters - the USGOVT is the largest consumer in all the history of mankind.

Humanity doesn't need government, because humanity didn't create a century and a half of death and destruction, individuals with the power of govts did.

Global warming is just the latest trojan horse that liberals are using to promote socialism/communism. Its amazing how many people swallow this tripe whole. I can't believe people are willing to give up freedom over less than one degree of warming that they can't definitively prove has been caused by man. I really don't think they realize the utopian paradise they are asking for will really be hell on earth.

[ariakokoschka]

Denying Climate Change(tm) is just the oldest trojan horse that conservatives are using to promote Nazism/Fascism. Your dumbass is too ignorant to realize a one degree increase in such short period of time is equivalent of your raping your children into hell.

[wannabefunnyman]

I didn't say that Climate Change wasn't happening. I said that it was neither the disaster enviro-weenies tell us it is nor is it the sole creation of mankind. If there is one thing constant in nature it is change. It takes the arrogance of a liberal to think he can control that.

[ariakokoschka]

No you dumbfuck! The change in the nature is linear. The amount of CO2 should not increase in such rapid pace and it has never happened before. And why the fuck do you have to be liberal to care about your planet? Fuck them and fuck you too. It's not about control, it's about freeing yourself.

[wannabefunnyman]

Just another way for liberals to try to control our lives. Until every liberal our there lives this way they have a lot of nerve demanding it from us. There are a lot more enviro-weenies with SUVs parked in their driveways than people care to admit.

[wannabefunnyman]

Algore is the bigeest hypocrite of them all. Carbon credits are horse*&^%. Try cutting your usage by half now if you're really that concerned that NYC will be under water in 25 years. It really irks me that most of people who demand this crap of me don't do it themselves. The environmental movement has shone a light on a height of hypocrisy never before known.

[greatbroad]

Congress does not understand the oil companies and does not know when to hold them accountable. Congress waited 25 years to impose milage standards after the US lowered the speed limit from 75 to 55. I guess it is easier to crack down on the masses of innocents than the corporations.

[maggiekinsf]

A good start on reversing global warming. The Senate did good today. It's about time we raise our fuel efficiency standards to be on par with Japan and Europe. Harry, don't give up on pushing for funding on alternative energy sources. Try again. And again. Our globe can't wait. I understand that you did not have enough Democratic senators to end the Republican filibuster today. This will be remembered for 2008. We will send you some more! More 'thumpin' will be in order. Keep fighting!
