Congressman Claims Republicans Wants are the Same as Ahmadinejad’s

  While talking about Republicans who oppose the climate change bill this is what Rep. Anthony Weiner had to say:

Ahmadinejad, the Saudi Kingdom — they want exactly what my Republican friends are advocating,

  Did he just compare Republicans who are opposed to the climate change bill to these two repressive regimes? It certainly seems so. He was trying to say that because America is dependent on foreign oil that Republicans who oppose climate change are playing into Iran and Saudi Arabia’s hands. But to use that wording was incredibly insulting.

  Can’t one make the same arguments for Democrats who refuse to drill for oil in this country? I think so.

  There are many, many reasons to oppose this climate change legislation; it is the largest tax increase in history, it promotes government intrusion into people lives and into private businesses, the list goes on. As a matter of fact one could say that to be in favor of such intrusive and controlling legislation is to be acting like a dictator of a third world country.
