Somebody tell me again how it was better to have Obama reelected than to “settle” for Romney. Thanks again to all the idiots who stayed at home and let Obama win. THIS is why it mattered!

John Holdren, Obama’s science Czar, and esteemed Malthusian human hater was Romney’s environmental adviser.
As governor Romney stood in front of a coal fired power plant and said he would not support companies that kill people, and while pointing at the coal plant followed up with, and that plant kills people.
As governor he wrote that he would push push to stop all offshore energy production.
Romney instituted the first in the nation cap and trade on carbon. He also created the first in the nation Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative, a carbon cap by another name.

I dunno, are you sure we are significantly worse off? Remember, at least in the end we can blame the other team for the suffering. With Romney, we would have the media non stop attacking us on Romney’s failures and “failures”.

Due to the lack of actually difference between Obama and Romney on executive action, I for one was not really looking forward to a Romney presidency. I voted for the turd, or more precisely, against Obama’s DHS’ multiple billion rounds of citizen legal killing bullet purchases… Outside of that, I am willing to suffer through what Obama does.

Yes, EPA doesn’t mind if it gets sued, because it can say, “The courts made us do it” when there’s opposition.

You just have to pay the IRS a “deference-fee”. See? No problem.

Thats right. It worked well for the Islamists as they butchered their way across the continent. “Jizzya”? You could be non Muslim as long as you paid them a fee. A fee that went up in price until it was easier to just submit to them.

From the sounds of it, there will not be a “next election”…as we continue to destroy all parts of the bill of rights and constitution, we will move back to the monarchy. As long as Obama stays off the Newports and cuts back on the cheeseburgers, he’ll be king for decades.

Now on a cynical note, the Fed’s target the big bad corporations…big bad corporations don’t pay the fines, they simply pass them on. It’s what we call “redistributuon”.

You guys had plenty of warning about what was going to happen and you forged ahead with Romney anyway. You are the mirror image of the people who gave us O’Donnnell in Delaware. You aren’t entitled to peoples’ votes, and maybe next election you’ll run someone the party base is interested in voting for. But you’ll probably run Jeb Bush or someone like him instead.

Haze, views–any excuse will do to shut down human life.

of course, I always thought the Constitution said the government couldn’t make me buy certain things, too. Boy, was I wrong on that one.

Because of your “sit-down protest”, we’re ALL in jeopardy of ending up in chains.

Yourself and others ARE going to regret that decision, before Obama’s second term is up.

If there was a judge involved, seems s/he needs to be impeached for violation of the separation of powers. If there wasn’t (oh, heck, even if there was), it seems the EPA folks involved need to lose their jobs (possibly along with a bit of a vacation in the gray bar motel).

Agreed.
The cherry on top of the sour milk sundae will be down the road when he appoints 2 far left wingnuts to SCOTUS.

Yeah…thanks a lot.

For myself, that reason trumped all others in voting for Mitt Romney.

There’s NO VALIDITY to “sitting-out” in protest … none.

The loss of these next two SCOTUS picks are the biggest negative fall-out, of this past election. : (

In Arizona, it would cost the Apache, Cholla and Coronado coal plants over $1 billion to adhere to EPA’s regional haze rules. That would mean higher electricity costs and possibly higher water costs if the rule is extended to the Navajo Generating Station which powers water delivery in the state. And since other states like Montana, Minnesota, New Mexico, North Dakota, Oklahoma, and Wyoming are also covered by these consent decrees, expect EPA to institute rules on those states that target coal-fired power plants.

Seems to me, I recall some famous notorious politician stating:
