Robert Byrd Blasts the Climate Change Bill

July 8, 2009

  It is extremely rare that I agree with the former leader of the Ku Klux Klan, Democrat Senator Robert Byrd, on anything. As a matter of fact other than when he spoke out against the unconstitutional appointment of Hillary Clintonas Secretary of State and when he warned President Obama about his unconstitutional power grabs this is only the third time that I can think of that I have agreed with him.

  Robert Byrd has come out firing against the House’s climate change legislation.

“I cannot support the House bill in its present form,” Byrd said in a statement. “I continue to believe that clean coal can be a ‘green’ energy. Those of us who understand coal’s great potential in our quest for energy independence must continue to work diligently in shaping a climate bill that will ensure access to affordable energy for West Virginians. I remain bullish about the future of coal, and am so very proud of the miners who labor and toil in the coalfields of West Virginia.”

  Perhaps all is not lost just yet on the climate change legislation. If Robert Byrd  can be used as an example of Democrat opposition to this bill perhaps this legislation is indeed dead on arrival in the senate after all.

  Let us hope so.

    Byrd better watch out, they’ll be calling him confused and disoriented.
