Mike, this fellow is will use his leadership position to influence cap and
trade legislation. I'd like to earn carbon credits for driving my Prius.
Wouldn't we all? That isn't likely to happen with uninformed, misinformed
or perhaps just plain stupid leadership.

I understand. It's just that I've seen other groups get overrun with
political posts and would prefer not to see that happen here. I'm kind
of sensitive because I'm actually the person who started this group (at
Michelle Steiner's suggestion). What we really need is a separate hybrid
vehicles and politics group.
Anyway, my real purpose in posting was to say:
"Carcinogen"????
I'll expand on that now. Geez, did that idiot really use the word
"carcinogen"?! Is Boehner actually so stupid as to not know what it
means?

Since carbon dioxide is harmless, let's have Boehner wear a plastic bag
taped at the neck ... hummmm this might work for all global warming
skeptics.
