    I see that you have responded to this in your typically complex manner; by ignoring it. You have earned a new title: "The Selective Scholar".

    This is a partisan article so I place little stock in it's reporting efforts. I would expect the same if I clicked on the majority page of the US Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works.

    If you are going to quote articles and expect a response other than a sea of tits, you need to provide a more objective piece of journalism.

    As to the bills co-sponsors voting against the final legislation, this happens all the time. A bill is sponsored but by the time it reaches a vote, pork and side amendments get added on, many times in a partisan effort to make the original sponsors look bad. this also happens on both sides of the aisle.

    It is true that this is a partisan article. However, it is extrememly unlikely that you would find this subject in an objective piece of journalism. Your assertion that pork and side amendments were added on in this case to affect the votes of the co-sponsors is not likely in this case. The measure related this legislation is the amending of the Maximum Achievable Control Technology (MACT) rule for industrial boilers, a very narrow topic. A significant number of Democrats had already voted in favor of this bill in the House.

    However, it is clear that having selective excuses for not discussing a topic is definitely a popular "argument" employed here.

    Make a comment of your own and I will respond. I don't debate articles.

    You just post random links with no commentary, so I respond with random links with no commentary.

    "Objective piece of journalism"

    In 2012 does this even exist?
