Remember that none of these idiotic, draconian measures would have been initiated if not for the left, but none would have succeeded without help from the right.

If we have a nation remaining, in the wings are Paul and Rubio and others we don't know yet.

Paul is great.

George W. Bush signed the incandescent lightbulb ban and laws that put unrealistic and non-consumer-friendly future standards on energy consumption. He was a fan of Global warming junk science.

For which, by the way, I can thank him for not being able to acquire any more 25W bulbs.  Neither Lowes, nor WalMart nor Ace Hardware had them.  See me cussing a blue streak in the store.

40 Watts are next to be phased out, so be aware.

And where is the Republican majority in the House on repealing this nonsense?  I would think it would be a no-brainer, and would have wide bipartisan support both in Congress and among the general population.  Only the hardcore greenies would oppose it.

You don't suppose they're leaving it in place in order to have a campaign issue to bash Democrats with?  Nah, that would be cynical.

It's not a no-brainer, it's a no-Boehner.

I've wondered the same thing. The new Congress should have started off repealing ridiculous nonsense like this, because as you point out there's widespread ridicule of it among the broader population, and it would also put the Democrats in the position of having to articulate why it's so important that the outlawing of an iconic American invention continue full speed ahead.

Is it any wonder why we're in such dire straits on practically every front, as a country? The supposed party of opposition can't even seize fruit so low-hanging that it's dragging the ground at their feet.
