Coleman Plans to Block State Action on Global Warming

coleman-shadow.jpgWhy doesn’t Coleman want Minnesotans to innovate by setting forward-thinking energy policy that drives alternative energy investment and creates jobs?

Sen. Norm Coleman Reportedly Readies Plan to Block Action on Global Warming [Minnesota Natural Legacy Campaign]:

Coleman is reportedly preparing a proposal to block states and the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) from limiting the pollution that causes global warming

Coleman has proven over and over again that he’ll say and do just about anything anytime it suits him politically. With how often he’s reinvented himself, let’s see if Norm starts talking about alternative energy anytime soon.

Minnesota and the planet need real leadership to deal with Global Warming, I wonder if Sen. Coleman agrees with his newly elected Republican colleague in the lower house that it doesn’t exist…?

  • I believe that the word hate is overused. Why, I wouldn’t say that I hate President Bush, I hate what he does a lot of the time, but I don’t hate him. And I don’t hate Tim Pawlenty, or Mark Kennedy. But I HATE NORM COLEMAN!

  • For someone who was so proud of his (largely symbolic)vote against oil drilling in the Alaska Wildlife Refuge, Norm has sure done a quick turn-around.

    What is this going to net him? Norm is the kind of person who won’t floss his teeth unless he thinks it will get him something politically. Currying favor with the White House is not smart right now, and in two years, he has to face an electorate that just went Democratic by a large margin. I am mystified.

  • Does anyone have any pics of Norm when he was a Dem with long hair?? Please share…

  • Coleman’s office has pretty much backpeddled their way to nixing the state premption language from that document, as well as the language fighting C02 being listed as a “pollutant”.

    MNLC went out on a risky limb by leaking this to the media, and apparently it worked. Coleman is really backing off from this loser stance. I have all of this on inside knowledge.

    It’s nice to hear they are backpeddling away from that disastrous idea. I don’t trust coleman as far as I could throw him.

    Kudos to MNLC for bringing this to the forefront. I think the new light that is shining into the dark corners is going to show some pretty ugly stuff, it usually does.
    The Dems job is to do some serious cleaning and airing out, get it clean and then KEEP it clean, no matter the party affiliation. The public is in no mood to put up with any more shenanigans from anyone even remotely associated with government tight now….dog catchers, be forewarned.

    With coleman being basically hobbled by the incoming Congress, along with all the other Reps, ;) the Dems can and should immediatley focus on his replacement in ‘08. Pick the candidate and have two years to “softsell” him/her to the public.

    My pick is Franken…..I am so looking forward to the debates!!!!
