repugs continue to be obstructionists

Vote on climate bill is blocked in Senate

WASHINGTON - Senate Republicans on Friday blocked a global warming bill that would have required major reductions in greenhouse gases, pushing debate over the world's biggest environmental concern to next year for a new Congress and president.

Democratic leaders fell a dozen votes short of getting the 60 needed to end a Republican filibuster on the measure and bring the bill up for a vote, prompting Majority Leader Harry Reid to pull the legislation from consideration.

With luck this country with have a large Democratic majority next year and we will be able to accomplish things for the good of this country and the world without the repugs blocking each and every measure.

At least as long as the American voters do not vote against their best interests yet again...
