PRINCETON, NJ -- When asked which of three current legislative initiatives in Congress should be the priority, Americans who identify as Democrats favor a focus on financial reform, while independents and Republicans choose immigration. All three political groups give a new energy bill low priority.

Maybe the might not have the votes to pursue a climate bill after all

The spill gives fellow Democrats and environmentalists who objected to Obama’s plan a vivid piece of evidence to use against it, as Sen. Bill Nelson (D-Fla.) said the notion of expanded drilling is “dead on arrival” on Capitol Hill.
Quote:
Nelson said Friday that the spill has undercut any support for expanding offshore drilling on Capitol Hill. Knocking that provision out of an upcoming climate change measure might also strip it of the Republican support it needs to clear the Senate.

"If the idea was that Senator Graham put this offshore oil drilling provision in the draft climate change bill in order to attract Republican votes, while he himself has now walked way from the negotiations, I can't imagine that there is a snow ball’s chance in hell that it is going to survive," said a senior Senate Democratic aide.

What the f**k?!! ?!

I'm so completely confused right now, that there is no way to describe it. I don't even know which side is up anymore. So now apparently it's the Reps that want immigration on the table and not the liberals?

You missed the "Americans who identify as...". So its a response by voters not Senators. And you know, Senators never do what the voters want.

Republicans may want immigration reform, but they may just mean making the laws tougher.
