LIEBERMAN BOTH OPPOSES AND SUPPORTS KYOTO TREATY
FLIP: Today, Lieberman Attacked Bush For Opposing Kyoto Treaty. "George W. Bush has pulled us out of the Kyoto treaty to curb global warming. I've been working on this issue for more than a decade -- and today, Senator McCain is re-introducing the bill we wrote together to use market mechanisms to cut greenhouse gases." (Sen. Joseph Lieberman, Remarks At 'Resources For The Future,' 5/7/03)
FLIP: And Recently Implied Pulling Out Of Kyoto Undermines War On Terror. "Though the United States produces about a quarter of the world's greenhouse gases and will be affected badly by climate change, the Bush administration has shown no interest in doing anything about the problem. That undermines our stature and causes an unnecessary rift with our allies that could come back to haunt us as we seek global support in the war against terrorism. ... The U.S. government has paid dearly for pulling out of the Kyoto Protocol ..."(Joseph Lieberman, "Responsibility, Opportunity, And Community," Foreign Policy, March/April 2003)
FLOP: Yet, Lieberman Twice Voted Against Implementing Kyoto. Lieberman voted in 1997 to require all nations in the developing world, such as China and India, be included in the Kyoto Treaty, in effect killing the treaty. The vote was unanimous. Lieberman also voted in 2000 to prohibit funds for the implementation of Kyoto, again killing the treaty. The 2000 vote passed 97-2.(S. Res. 98, CQ Vote #205: Adopted 95-0: R 54-0; D 41-0, 7/25/97, Lieberman Voted Yea; H.R. 4578, CQ Vote #211: Passed 97-2: R 54-0; D 43-2, 7/18/00, Lieberman Voted Yea)
There is nothing that pleases me more than reading this shit from a REPUBLICAN website. Not only does it not prove anything, besides the fact that republicans tend to be fucking retards, but it also shows that they cant even form a coherent argument based on the facts. "LIEBERMAN VOTED TWICE TO KILL TREATY"---so by voting for adding two huge polluters to the treaty, he killed it? Odd. And I looked up the second vote and it turned out to be APPROPRIATIONS FOR THE DEPT OF THE INTERIOR. How does that = killing the treaty? Such bullshit! I am seriously appalled at the fact that this is on a supposed SERIOUS website. Goddamnit. Brandy? Please. As a republican, im sure you can explain this? And twice he voted YEA...so how does this work?!!?!?
