It amazes me that is a single Republican signs a bill that the Dems push through, when it fails, the Republican is blamed. What a joke our political system has become. The Democrats take personal responsibility for anything, and it make perfect sense because they pander to a base of irresponsible voters.
You’re correct, Mark. Sorry about that. There were some Republicans who voted for the “Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007.” The Republican party was complicit in passing the law because the leader of the party signed the bill.
2006 the dems took over Congress… how soon one forgets…basic fact.. gummit needs to stay the he## where it does not belong…Dems and Repubs one in the same..
What you don’t say, Daniel, is that the statute phasing out incandescent light bulbs was passed by a Republican congress and signed into law in 2007 by none other than George W. Bush; he of the new age, new economy, new world order Bushees.
And further, a bill that would repeal the ban (the BULB Act) is being deliberately held up by Fred Upton, the Republican chairman of the House Energy and Commerce Committee. Upton was the new age Bushee who co-sponsored the original ban.
