3. Rove Is A Bottom Feeder.....
Edited on Thu Nov-04-10 10:10 AM by global1
he aligns himself with those causes that are anti-American and basically bad for this country. He knows that the supporters of any of those causes are desperate and would basically do anything/pay anything to get influence for their cause. This is Karl Rove. Interesting enough he has been very successful at pulling this off his whole career. Why can't a person like this be stopped? How stupid are we to let this type of criminal behavior go on in the open and right under our noses? And he flaunts it too - almost to rub our noses in his corrupt ways.

4. Disgusting. Gloating that "climate is gone" with GOP control of the House.
Rove said a new Republican House of Representatives supportive of the energy industry "sure as heck" would not pass climate-change legislation that the outgoing Democratic Congress had been unable to pass.

"Climate is gone," said Rove, the keynote speaker on the opening day of a two-day shale-gas conference sponsored by Hart Energy Publishing L.L.P. And Rove told the trade show, "I don't think you need to worry" the new Congress will consider proposed legislation to put the controversial practice of hydraulic fracturing under federal rather than state regulation. The procedure, known as "fracking," is responsible for the dramatic growth of shale-gas drilling in formations such as Pennsylvania's vast Marcellus Shale.

5. Schumer pushed ready ClimateChange bill to be dropped from senate schedule in favor of immigration

debate and a bill he hadn't even drafted yet.

Thanks Chuck....Mr. Boobytrap.

Always in place to undermine the left on any progressive legislation that would upset your corporate masters on Wall St.

Rove has his pals in the Dem party he can count on, too.

6. If you were like me and didn't know what "fracking" is I found this great site.......
http://gaslandthemovie.com/whats-fracking

How does hydraulic fracturing work?
Hydraulic fracturing or fracking is a means of natural gas extraction employed in deep natural gas well drilling. Once a well is drilled, millions of gallons of water, sand and proprietary chemicals are injected, under high pressure, into a well. The pressure fractures the shale and props open fissures that enable natural gas to flow more freely out of the well.
What is horizontal hydraulic fracturing?
Horizontal hydrofracking is a means of tapping shale deposits containing natural gas that were previously inaccessible by conventional drilling. Vertical hydrofracking is used to extend the life of an existing well once its productivity starts to run out, sort of a last resort. Horizontal fracking differs in that it uses a mixture of 596 chemicals, many of them proprietary, and millions of gallons of water per frack. This water then becomes contaminated and must be cleaned and disposed of.
What is the Halliburton Loophole?
In 2005, the Bush/ Cheney Energy Bill exempted natural gas drilling from the Safe Drinking Water Act. It exempts companies from disclosing the chemicals used during hydraulic fracturing. Essentially, the provision took the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) off the job. It is now commonly referred to as the Halliburton Loophole.
