Politics without substance

This week over half the Democrat Senate Caucus held an all night pajama party to talk about Global Warming.

Never mind that AGW rates near the bottom of peoples concerns in every poll. Nevermind that the overriding issues for people are; Economy, Jobs, Debt, Deficit, not political agendas like AGW.

The amazing thing is THE DEMOCRATS CONTROL THE SENATE!!! They were essentially demanding action from themselves. Add to that the fact they they have not introduced a SINGLE BILL that is on the floor for them to address their comments to.

Yet, their constituents think it is the Republicans thwarting their efforts to get their bill passed. They are ignorant of  the fact that there is no bill.

This is the apogee of Democrat political theatre. It will have one benefit, as enviromental groups donated $21.2M to Democrats in 2012, and they need that money again, which was probably the point of this exercise, the feelings of their uninformed voter base aside.

At least when Ted Cruz stood on the floor and spoke, he was advocating a specific set of policies and actions. He had put a bill forward to discuss. Of course no one could foresee that President Obama would give him the very delay he was demanding and villified for. The Democrats can not  even rouse themselves to that level of accomplishment.
