Obviously McConnell is trying to get the Democrats on record with their support for this fiscally and socially irresponsible pile of socialist trash. The Green New Deal is merely the standard communist manifesto wrapped up in the window dressing of environmentalism related to the fraudulent Man-made Climate Change hoax. However if the Democrats follow Chuck Schumer’s lead, they will all simply vote “present” to get around letting the uninformed public know where they really stand. Which is exactly what Obama used to do repeatedly when he was a member of the Illinois State Senate. Voting “present” simply signifies that you are there, but are neither supporting nor opposing the piece of legislation being voted upon. Of course this is ONLY done to hide one’s true support for such legislation and to keep one’s voting record clean when planning to run for higher office.

10,000,00s years. ago. Manhattan sland was covered with an ice sheet almost one mile thick, If the liberals ae correct that man is responsible for global warming whaT CAUASED THE ICE TO MELt campfires?
aBOUT 50% OF CO2COMES from the land fams, fields and forest, about 46percent comes from the oce only 4 % is caused by man= how do the lib’s mad scientists figure that man is the main cause of co2 pollution?

It’s important to know which senators favor the Green New Deal even though we know it won’t pass the senate. Curious to know which RINOs would vote in favor of it.

Climate change has nothing to do with the green new deal. It is totally about a government takeover and control of our lives.
Always follow the money and power. Ask any of them what solution they have and their first response is a carbon tax. I have never seen a tax that has solved any problem.

Personally I am tired of all of the political theater. It accomplishes nothing. It would be nice if Congress would focus on more important issues like healthcare and the broken immigration system. I guess that it is too obvious why they won’t. They don’t have the political will to do what is needed. They are to busy being “important” and doing sound bites for TV!

PaulE summarized very well why I think a Senate vote is a waste of time. Nothing will come of it. I agree that the Green New Deal and climate change activism is an international socialist (ie communist) power grab for complete control of the economy. It is hubris to think that we can control the global climate, but the fear mongering is good politics.
Sea levels have risen and receded through out geologic history varying with periods of cooling and warming. The Earth is in a warming period since the last ice age 10,000 years ago (a second in geologic time that is measured in millions of years). The problem now is that the vast majority of humans live within 100 miles of a coastline.
I would rather have government focused on planning to respond to the rising sea level. Critical infrastructure, cities, and millions of people will need to be relocated. There is plenty of time to do this.

McConnell needs to start backing our president on issues instead of wasting his time on sidetrack issues such as this. This is nothing more than a ploy to distract us from looking at the way he keeps stabbing our president in the back on just about every issue. Both Mitchell and Ryan have been closet Democrats since their beginnings in office.

No, this “green deal” is another way for the politicians to get control of our money. Let them keep showing how stupid this idea is especially during election time. What needs to be done is to expose the harm this would do and to inform people of the dangers of allowing this to happen. The American people are smart enough to make their own decisions. I personally am sick and tired of politicians telling me what is good for me and sticking their noses in where they do not belong.

What everyone needs to do is to vote the democrats out which is near impossible because the liberal professors at most colleges are filling the young people’s minds with this crarp! Funding to same should be cut off because we as taxpayers are helping to pay those socialist professors their salary to teach young people to go beyond what is sane !!!!!!!!!!!

McConnell scares me, I still feel he is a Rino and not a conservative. What is wrong with our Republican congress? It’s like they folded and layed down to the Dems. They did not really even back our President when they had the majority. It’s time WE THE PEOPLE vote out the whole Congress and start over, as much as we can. There is too much centralized government. Time to take back our country, downsize the Federal government and let the states have the power. I am all for the Convention of States. This Green Deal is nothing but a socialist, communist government takeover of the people. It scares me for my kids and grandkids in the future.
