Poll question: True/False: Republicans will support cap-and-trade in exchange for oil exploration

Some Senate Republicans will support cap-and-trade in exchange for off-shore oil exploration.

1. Republicans would eat living hearts from their own children rather than vote4 anything Obama wants

3. you are not in line with the program young man

didn't get the memo? this move solved everything, the chess game is almost won

[Ian David]

6. Who says he WANTS them to vote for it?

Maybe he wants them to vote AGAINST it, to anger their pro-drilling constituents?

4. You need to look at this issue in a more complex way

What has happened is President Obama has staked out a sensible and moderate position. For republicans to oppose him they will be forced to take radical and extreme positions.

[Oregone]

9. Then the moderate position will be labeled as "left wing" and the extremist as "right wing"

And the "center" as something in between.

Wash, Rinse & Repeat.

Then you wake up a few decades later in Reagan's fantasy land wondering what the fuck happened

10. well put

I don't have a big attitude about oil exploration one way or another but the spin that this will bring a bunch of Republicans on-board for something we would actually want seems kind of reality-divorced.

Could happen... but seems a stretch.

[MoonRiver]

5. If this is the administration's game plan it's a joke.

Repukes will never back down from their dogged determination to destroy all things Democratic.

8. Like they supported HCR, with the dropping of a public option?
