IdaBlue: Minnick Joins Party Of ‘No’
Item: Minnick close to joining the party of ‘No’: Stand against Waxman-Markey energy bill troubling /IdaBlue
More Info: Minnick cites some decent reasons , but I think they’re window dressing. He’s subordinating the possible to the perfect to give himself cover for voting against it. “Because we can’t have this other, better way of doing it, I’ll just forgo doing anything helpful.” Politically expedient in Idaho, yes, but not helpful. I think Walt is subordinating the needs of the country to his political future in true Party of No fashion.
Question: On Friday, Minnick did vote against the Waxman-Markey energy bill, or the cap-and-trade bill. Did he vote correctly, in your estimation?
