Joseph Romm - Denier, Tea Party Agent? Center for American Progress???
Here's the most recent evidence. From today's headline post on his blog ( Lame Deal Cements Cement Shoes on Energy and Climate Investment for Foreseeable Future ):
"If we judge by outcomes, then the Tea Party is now leading this country. The fact that it is leading us under-water is apparently of less interest to the president then his various governance “victories.”
"If we judge by outcomes, then the Tea Party is now leading this country. The fact that it is leading us under-water is apparently of less interest to the president then his various governance “victories.”
If you look up Pyrrhic Victory in the dictionary, there is a picture of Obama."
Mr. Romm is a bright guy, but he is counting on you being stupid, cuz anyone but a stupid person would see the grotesques asymmetry in his assertion:
* Tea Party (Army) vs Obama (ONE MAN STANDING ALONE, his 'Army,' the left AWOL)
See, if traitors like Romm, and the rest of the special interests, can keep the left OFF THE FIELD, AWOL, by diverting all their energy into totally impotent OBAMA BLAME, well the Oil Companies win, forever. Game is almost over. Just seconds left on the clock.
If Romm is indeed a knowing Denier / Tea Party agent - CALL HIM OUT!
If he's unwittingly doing it - CALL HIM UP - WAKE HIM UP.
