"cap-and-trade" renamed by kerry, it's a "pollution reduction" bill now, next stage of climate maneuvering

merrie says:

No one has the time for a full cataloging of Kerry's ignorance. In any case, the average American may or may not know what "cap and trade" means but they know what BS smells like.

STILL WAITING FOR THE SOUNDBITE: "It's not healthcare reform, it's death reduction".
