In the upcoming fight for President Obama’s Cap & Trade system, the media will gnash their collective teeth about any perceived lack of bipartisanship on the side of Democrats. What the media fails to account for, is that you can’t negotiate with a bloc which will vote against you no matter what the plan is (see the Stimulus Bill vote) and is fundamentally ignorant or deceitful. Come forth and see what your Republican Party thinks:

Minority Leader John Boehner, April 19, 2009

Minority Leader John Boehner described the overwhelming scientific consensus that carbon dioxide is contributing to climate change as “comical” during an appearance on Sunday, noting that cow flatulence contributes CO2 to the environment all the time.
Appearing on ABC’s This Week, the Ohio Republican was asked what to describe the GOP plan to dealing with greenhouse gas emissions, “which every major scientific organization said is contributing to climate change.”
Boehner replied: “The idea that carbon dioxide is a carcinogen that is harmful to our environment is almost comical. Every time we exhale, we exhale carbon dioxide. Every cow in the world, you know when they do what they do you’ve got more carbon dioxide.”

Rep. John Shimkus (R-IL), April 22, 2009

I think this is the largest assault on democracy and freedom in this country that I’ve ever experienced. I’ve lived through some tough times in Congress — impeachment, two wars, terrorist attacks. I fear this more than all of the above activities that have happened.

Rep. John Shadegg (R-Ariz.), April 22, 2009

“I don’t know that there is a party position on this issue,” Rep. John Shadegg (R-Ariz.) said Wednesday during an appearance on the Fox Business Network. “I think that there is some debate on whether global warming is in fact being caused by man-made greenhouse gases.”

There is no debate: our actions are fundamentally changing the Earth’s climate. Full Stop. Either come on board negotiations in good faith or step aside.
You lost the election(s).
