Kerry Eyes Lame Duck Climate Fight
by PubliusThe Hill reports today:
Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass.) is suggesting a climate change bill could have better prospects in a lame-duck session.
Kerry made the comments to Bloomberg as the Senate abandoned plans to move on climate change legislation before the August break. The decision is expected to prevent a vote on the matter this year, though Kerry is still offering hope.
“I have to tell you, this is not dead. We are going to continue to work. It may well be that after the election — if that is what happens — I mean, we will continue to try over the next weeks, but if it is after the election, it may well be that some members are free and liberated and feeling that they can take a risk or do something. Or, you know, the whole political landscape may have changed in some way,” Kerry said Thursday in an interview with Bloomberg Television’s “Political Capital With Al Hunt” that will be broadcast this weekend.
Kerry told the Bloomberg news service that he would continue seeking votes, and said the climate bill’s prospects could improve after the midterm elections.
Continue reading here. Even if, as expected, the Democrats suffer mind-numbing losses in November, Congress will reconvene before the new Congress is sworn in. After losing their once-in-generation political power, how much mischief can they do? The question answers itself, sadly.

"members are free and liberated and feeling that they can take a risk or do something" sure enough! They can screw the American Taxpayer one more time since they are losing their seat!
One more bill to make criminals were there was once none. Part of their plan. Can anyone say prohabition.
Ah the transparent congress that Pelosi promised us.
You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy
They can't hear us or if they can, they don't care. It's surely the latter.
"Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass.) is suggesting a climate change bill could have better prospects in a lame-duck session."
Of course he would, under the cover of darkness, out of sight of the American public doing your dirty deeds against the will of the American public. That will look good as a crowning piece on your scumbag resume.
Here's one for Kerry or any other liberal that wants higher taxes or think that others don't pay their fair share……
Did you take any tax deductions last year? (standard deduction or itemized, does not matter).
Next question. Why did you use loopholes to reduce your tax obligation?
It is truly surprising the responses you will get.
I eye about six months of Repeal and Replace and Defund.
I'm sorry, but is that picture John Kerry's version of the infamous tank ride by Dukakis?

Peace!
Exactly what giant orifice is Kerry crawling out from? Or, is that DC?
Kerry the hypocrite!!!!!!!!!!!! We need to pay taxes while he parks his NEW $7,000,000 yacht in Rhode Island so he wouldn't have to pay the Mass. tax.
Liars…all of them. Corrupt phucking liars.
Watch as soon as they lose this Nov., they will pass every law they can think of before January. They will try to kill us.
He's getting a colonoscopy courtesy of Obamacare.
Of course they will. When you want to be transparent you do things behind closed doors, and take your opportunity when you can RAM it down Americas throat. They will rot on the vine. We will prosecute each and everyone of them when they lose their seats for treason. Which it looks like that will happen this next election cycle.

LMAO. This picture of Kerry reminds me of Zaphod Beeblebrox from, 'The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy'! Too dumb to fool. He's a lame duck alright, and a dork.
A lame duck President is bad enough, I can't imagine a lame duck House and Congress with a President willing to sign anything.
May the Lord bless us and keep us safe
He looks like the probe
After the voters throw out the majority of lunatic-left d-crat socialists in Nov, these reprobates will then show up for a lame-duck session of CONgress. With nothing further to lose, they will vote for CAP-AND-TAX, other massive TAX INCREASES (including possibly a VAT), "card check" to REQUIRE ALL American workers to join a d-crat party supporting union, and they will vote for a FULL AMNESTY for ILLEGALS bill that will provide ILLEGALS with full government benefits and voting rights for the 2012 presidential election.
Count on it.
Pardon…… but in this picture Kerry does make a Great Human Condom! Is that Barney's tookus he is climbing out of?
I'm afraid that the only way for Kerry to loose his seat is to die, just like Kennedy. I hope I'm wrong. I hope he looses his seat way sooner than that.
Does this guy know how stupid he looks? Please just go buy another mansion and leave us peasants alone. You can't change the climate, only God can!!
It took us over 100 years to get here
6 months I hope, but in reality I think it will take more like 10-20 years
Sorry to be such a bummer
Lucky, compared to me you're a cock-eyed optimist, my guess 50 years. ?:-(
Oh, look, kids, it's 'Spunky the Sperm'………
That could be arranged…..
I for ONE am willing to spend the LAME DUCK session in DC, participating in CIVIL DISOBEDIENCE !
reminds me of a Woody Allen movie I saw a long time ago….
He's smiling because the white pipe next to him connects to his smarter end…
Now there was another bullet we dodged….
I just hope that within 6months we see beginning of the end, 10-20 years seems about right for the clean up once we get started.
With luck Olinsky gets caught and we can have a nice impeachment party in between.
After November, it will take more than Snowejob and Colons to sway a vote to the darkside.
"I have to tell you, this is not dead. We are going to continue to work. It may well be that after the election — if that is what happens — I mean, we will continue to try over the next weeks, but if it is after the election, it may well be that some members are free and liberated and feeling that they can take a risk or do something. Or, you know, the whole political landscape may have changed in some way"
Why wait to after the election? The govt has been doing what ever it wants regardless of what the people say. What Kerry means is that the members not reelected no longer have to campaign to keep theirs jobs because they have been fired. The people elected are more concerned with saving their jobs by gerrymandering to the give it to me because I want it people in our society then doing what is right for our country.
If a member of congress is voted out of office his/her vote should no longer be counted because the people in their district have decided to fire the person. It is time to stop lame duck session of congress, when a new member is elected they should be seated before any other laws are voted on.
That picture of Kerry reminds me of a Woody Allen flick, "Everything you wanted to know about sex but were afraid to ask"
Only in this case he looks like a gerbil escaping from a hollywood celebs sphincter
Dude Zaphod Beeblebrox is a good guy.
Kerry and the whole lot of the left are the Oodkind.
GLOBAL WARMING IS A FRAUD! JOHN KERRY IS A STINKING LIAR!
The Swift boat Vets were 4 to 1 against Kerry, including his entire chain of command. They nailed him on his lie that he was in Cambodia (he admitted he never was) and he never came clean on how exactly he received 5 MEDALS IN LESS THAN 4 MONTHS TIME. That's quite amazing if you think about it. One doesn't think of the hippie anti-war Kerry as some kind of Rambo collecting medals at a world record pace. John Kerry demonized his fellow soliders in Vietnam and HE GOT WHAT HE DESERVED from them.

That's just the first week.
This is when they will be most dangerous, like a mad dogs backed into a corner.
Yep.
This is my favorite Kerry photo.
The attack of the giant blue-green sperm………
"Hanoi John Kerry" is another liberal pinko that should have never been voted into office. Thanks for nothing Massachusetts.
God Bless the Swift-Boat Vets
or he could run out of john heinz's money
That's when we break out the tar-n-feathers!
After losing their once-in-generation political power, how much mischief can they do? The question answers itself, sadly.
I am reminded of the low-jinx engaged in by Bubba and his staff, as they vacated the White House.
Speaking of which…
Eww..Cowboy! That makes me think of that Woody Allen flick “Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Sex, But Were Afraid to Ask!”
It's 'Spunky'!
Pelosi forgot to drain the swamps.
Kerry needs to pay taxes in MA for his 76 ft yacht and isn't he one of the pricks that wants to stop windmills off his coast — Teddy is gone, I know, but they were brothers in crime
We need to attack attack and attack these people, and give them no rest or they will do the energy bill and pass a card check bill so that the unions can bring them back in 2 more years
Global Warming and John Kerry — two of my favorite frauds
All I can think about is…"What am I doing here?"…from a Woody Allen movie…..LOL
Darn Story….I just made that same comparison…."What am I doing here?"…..seems to be the fitting phrase….
Is this the same Senator John Kerry, who is a Vietnam veteran, and who is French-looking? And, who voted FOR the Iraq War funding before he voted AGAINST it?
Yeah, I catch your drift, I was coming more from the comic viewpoint. Afterall, he was the confidence trickster.
There is no reason to believe that the socialists will change their pattern. They will not let a crisis go to waste if they lose the Majority, and If they don't, nothing changes, Oppression as usual, unless Impeachment or Revolution happens.
They will slam us with the last socialist Bills to finish their "Fundamental Transformation" of America into Socialism.
Then whenever we get the power back and get some REAL Americans in there, we will systematically Repeal, Replace, and fix the socialist mess that is incongruous with America!
In the future, maybe we should eliminate or modify the Lame Duck period. It was meant to tie up loose ends, and give them time to move out, but with the current political atmosphere, we have to shorten that session 3 days, or so.
As for Kerry, Bloomberg, (pro Mosque NY, & Amnesty) and other Radical Dems who behave in a socialistic way, we have to marginalize them. They should never forget that Socialism is incompatible with America!
Who would had guessed that Kerry is really a Jew.Look it up.If you hate Anglo Saxons you have to be either a minority or a Jew.
Geez—
That pic says it all !
I just hope that hose is shoved up his ass—God knows there's enough room for a tight fit !
Mos Eisley's got nothin' on DC
OMG, a condom with a "Lurch" face as a decal, the only way that'll catch on is if someone one is looking to kill the mood.
She never had any intention to drain the swamp…Like most politicians she lied to retain power and $$$$…
or that Dr. Demento tune done to Thank God I'm a Country Boy melody with slightly changed lyrics…lol
"… 'but if it is after the election, it may well be that some members are free and liberated and feeling that they can take a risk or do something. Or, you know, the whole political landscape may have changed in some way,' Kerry said." Do you think the Senator knows something that we don't know about "the whole political landscape"? I wonder what the Democrats' "October Surprise" is going to be for this election season? Has the Reichstag been rebuilt? hmmm….
It can't take that long. If it does, the country will collapse under the weight of its unfunded debt. So even if it takes that long, it won't because there wouldn't be any way it could.
Another corrupt buffoon:
Kerry docks family's new $7M yacht in Rhode Island, saving $500,000 in taxes http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/politics/sns-a...
The best picture of a politician ever. It says it all.
When they got their president and their overwhelming supermajority, they hailed it as a mandate from the people to do whatever they wanted. If they lose in November and pass the rest of their agenda during the lame duck, I wonder what lame excuse they will come up to try to justify their actions?
So where the heck is "Mr. Global Warming" Gore hiding out??? Wonder what he paid Kerry to do his dirty work for him??? Maybe a piece of the CCX pie??
If I'm not mistaken, condoms do go on dickheads…………………………..i'm just sayin.
"They can screw the American Taxpayer one more time" Is that why he is wearing a full body condom in this pic?
Which according the Mich-O, will be 'free'. After all the gastroeneterologist and his nurses are 'rich' and the scope comes from a medical equipment company which is 'ripping off the public', and the drugs for sedation are a part of big Pharma's conspiracy. I feel SOOOO much better knowing that BHO and brood have figured out healthcare: simply announce it's free. then denounce when a bill comes due…Brilliant!!
Okay, now *that* was funny- especially the last line LOL
This thread requires a "liquid warning" on it…just sayin' LOL
when is the admin going to get over the global warming fraud?
oh i forget all the obama cronies stand to make boo coo bucks when the CHicago Climate Exchange begins serious trading after the Cap and Trade Act passes.
WAKE UP FOLKS – how long are we going to allow ourselves to be manipulated by the progressives
progrssivism = totalitarianism
Quick..get some industrial grade Nonoxynol-9 to spray on it! <shudder>
It's late and I found this this morning but didn't have an appropriate place to post it. It is I think at least a great PSYOP against a raging lame duck session. Krathammer wrote about it today. See what you guys think.
==========================================
How then to prevent a runaway lame-duck Congress? Bring the issue up now — applying the check-and-balance of the people's will before it disappears the morning after Election Day. Every current member should be publicly asked: In the event you lose in November — a remote and deeply deplorable eventuality, but still not inconceivable — do you pledge to adhere to the will of the electorate and, in any lame-duck session of Congress, refuse to approve anything but the most routine legislation required to keep the government functioning?
The Democrats could, of course, make the pledge today and break it tomorrow. Call me naive, but I can't believe anyone would be that dishonorable.
===============================
Either way the more we get to declare now the more LAME and mean they look later. And even if they aren't as dishonorable as Mr K believes…..we'll have it to use against them in their next quest to find free work.
You are spot on.
Some one (Art Laffer?) figured it would take 2 generations to shrink the gov'ment thru targeted layoffs and attrition, ridding ourselves of outdated and expensive DEPARTMENTS. (Ag, Energy, EPA, Edu.ETC.)
That's provided a healthy private sector is available to absorb the layoffs. Otherwise, the entire bureaucracy will eventually (soon) collapse around itself. It may have to come to that.
“Based on the testimony, Project Vote, ACORN and other ACORN affiliated entities illegally coordinated activities with the Obama presidential campaign, converting the expenditures by Project Vote, ACORN and ACORN affiliated entities to illegal, excessive corporate contributions to the Obama presidential campaign, in violation of federal law.”

That's where Congress holds meetings now – they spew so much CRAP you don't want to get any on you !!!! and they have to suck out all that wasted C02….
Never fear, SunshineConnie. When they do, as you so illustriously said, "screw the American Taxpayer one more time," they will be wearing condoms. All you have to do to see that is true, is look at that photo of Kerry.
Thanks' for your work, and a great idea.
The trick is to MAKE IT HAPPEN.
While they are all over the country stumping for their re-election….that's the time to strike and strike hard. Get them in a corner, on camera, at the podium. Get in line to ask a question or if not, GET IT ON VIDEO! HAVE IT READY FOR THEM TO SIGN! MAKE SURE OTHERS SEE AND HEAR YOU READ IT ALOUD TO THEM. THEN JUST HAND IT TO THEM.
EVERYONE ELSE…..FILM IT!
THIS IS THE ONLY PLAN I'VE SEEN THAT MAKES SENSE. KRATHAMMER JUST HANDED US OUR GAG ORDER FOR DECEMBER. UP TO US TO USE IT AND ENFORCE IT.
PSYOPS. SNEAKY IS AS SNEAKY DOES.
CHECK
AND
MATE
Kerry climbing out of the sewer reminds me of Woody Allan's manSperms in the famous movie "Everything you Wanted TKAS,BWATA".or was it "Sleeper"?…
If only Kerry WAS only a bad "wet dream" instead of a weaponized "Man from Uranus"..
TR when I know it is an idiot I try to shield my eyes from the infection. I have learned that polite ladies do not look and giggle.
It's the leftovers in that condom and just slime.
Thanks there went my supper
He's getting a massage.
Krauthammer is the conservative's Stephen Hawking: a mind, brilliant beyond description in a tortured body. God Bless that man!
This is worth it. Look. Giggle.
This man was actually considered an legitimate candidate for high office? Frightening and hysterically funny
I heard he dropped his towel again, Oopsie! Nothin' to see THERE, move along…………..
AMEN aelssd, Krauthammer is a National treasure
Well better get set for the six week Citizen Legislature sit-in we will need to do in the Capitol. I wonder how comfortable that carpet is on the Senate floor?
Which Kennedy?
It's up to the citizens of each district to enforce this on their soon to be ex-legislator. They do after all live in your district. Maybe you need to chat up the neighbors and get them to see reason and bring 1000 voters to their home in your district. A little welcoming commitee after the November election.
And if they want to be little Hugo Chavez clones–bring it on. "We know where you live" .would be my parting words with any lame duck fascist intent on f*cking my country.
OMG OMG IT'S it's it's C-O-N-D-O-M MAN!!! Or another liberal idiot who never outgrew childs playtime! I bet he likes cookies with his RED KOOL-AID too!! giggle giggle
On a serious note, did you see his new yacht for 7.5M and he slips it in RI to avoid his MA tax of 450K??? Just out in todays news. What a patriotic tax evader! Kinda like Rangel.
Lame duck climate fight? Is this the same climate that this administration just allowed the burning of millions of gallons of oilspill into? The same climate fight started by AllGore, the man with the utilities bill of a medium size corporation?
There's a law of Physics that you might be forgetting–it's the " 4 W X 6 Lg X 6 D Law of Convincing Politicians "
BTW,
This law always works————–always!
Is that hose sucking greenhouse gases out of Kerry's wazzoo?
It's the famous John Kerry human sized condom photo.
Nancy's woo-woo.
Does it matter? Too many around anyway.
