Cap-and-tax: Inhofe says it’s “dead in the water”

Killing cap-and-tax won’t happen without massive resistance and persistence. Gird your loins and get on the phone next week.

Via the Tulsa World, Sen. Inhofe says it’s “dead in the water” — notwithstanding the arrival of a new clown in town:

U.S. Jim Inhofe, who earlier said a criminal investigation “probably should be’’ conducted into allegations the EPA suppressed a climate change report, conceded Tuesday he is not qualified to make that determination.

“I have no way of knowing,’’ the Oklahoma Republican said.

Inhofe, however, stood by his prediction that a historic climate change bill narrowly approved by the House last week faces certain defeat in the Senate.

“It’s dead in the water,’’ he said.

Inhofe said the much-anticipated conclusion of a Senate race in Minnesota that will give Democrats the 60 votes needed to overcome Republican filibusters would not be enough to save the climate change bill.

“I’ll tell you what a lot of people are thinking, and that is it looks like things are going to be over and we are going to get the clown from Minnesota,’’ he said.

“They are not going to get more than 35 votes.’’

Asked if he was referring to Al Franken as the clown from Minnesota, Inhofe confirmed he was.

“I didn’t mean to be disrespectful. I don’t know the guy, but … for a living he is a clown,’’ the senator said.

“That’s what he does for a living.’’

in brief
We have had global temps FALLING for the last 11 years,
The EPA is supposed to do its own research not swallow some one else's stuff with out independent review
The methods of the UN climate change report were shoddy and the data old
Important facts were ignored - like that big yellow shiny thing in the sky.
Too much dependence on flawed models
To little dependence on Actual measurements
There is no consensus the Oregon petition has over 31,400 scientist ( > 9000 physicist) who are NOT convinced that global warming is our fault.
Even following the UN's climate models - If America evaporated with out a trace of carbon - it would not make a measurable difference...
the inmates are running the asylum.

I hate to sound conspiratorial, but how can one explain this thing when the the entire reason for the law is in question and it promises to be so destructive to America? We've entered the age of un-reason that Ayn Rand warned about. We're over due for Ron Paul's revolution.
