THE REPUBLICANS ARE WH0RES TO THE OIL INDUSTRY

From NY Times

WASHINGTON — Pared-down energy legislation cleared the Senate on Thursday by a wide margin after the oil industry and utilities succeeded in stripping out provisions that would have cost them billions of dollars.

The legislation still contains a landmark increase in fuel-economy standards for vehicles and a huge boost for alternative fuels. But a $13 billion tax increase on oil companies and a requirement that utilities nationwide produce 15 percent of their electricity from renewable sources were left on the floor to secure Republican votes for the package.

To hell with global warming - the poor oil companies need charity from the american people in order to survive!!!!

The republicans continue to give liberal handouts of taxpayer $$$ to the oil companies which are making record profits!

DISGUSTING!!!!
