[SharonRB]

It consolidates several amendments relating to energy efficiency and fuel-efficient vehicles, including battery manufacturing. :woohoo:

1. Yay! It still doesn't fund battery technology enough. But that's really important stuff.

2. Did you see Diaper DAve up there telling lies about acorn?

Durbin got him back real good.

[Gregorian]

6. Yes. I thought their "massive voter fraud" lie was long dead.

Nope. Repubs resurrecting the old lies. Losers! It feels so good to have reality in the open again.
