Politics of the Green New Deal

I hate hearing Senator John Cornyn (R-TX) giving speeches about Democrats and our policies or legislation. If there is any way he an misrepresent our ideas he will. He's only a slightly more sophisticated speaker than Louis Gohmert (R-TX), another gasbag Texan. No wonder they have so much wind energy. They have all the politicians they need to generate a constant and large supply of wind.

However, Democrats need to keep it together and not provide the Republicans with ammunition with which to attack us. A resolution isn't a bad thing in itself, but a nebulous wish-list which is just pie in the sky should be avoided. For one thing, we don't have all the time in the world to gain more political power and push through legislation which will be very effective. We can't afford to waste time fulfilling fantasies which fade like the morning mist.

I know Sen. Cornyn's representation of the Green New Deal is probably all nonsense, but Democrats have to face the facts: he will take any opportunity to attack us, so legislation which isn't rock solid should be avoided.

Congratulations on the deal to avoid government shutdown.
