    Isn't it obvious? When you care about science. When you care about rules. When you care about the law. When you care about government. And the other side does not. You lose.

        Didn't the governor send the state troopers to round them up? What else should she do, hold their families hostage?

            Nobody is blaming the governor for anything...

              This quote seems to be blaming Dems for the Goopers screwing out of the state.

              "Not that Oregon sums it all up, but the fact that Democrats are so consistently unwilling to play hardball when in power is extremely bad and worrying - especially on climate!"

              Again, I'm not 100% sure what the alternative course of action was aside from what she already did, which was sending the staties out to find them.

                Cause Democrats believe in Government. You only get away with playing Hardball if you have nothing to lose. And, Republicans never have anything to lose. Just consider what they whine about, put it in context, and ask yourself if they actually are whining about something that matters. They aren't. And that's why all or nothing works for them so well.

                  Scoobs, we have to follow the law. So aside from hostage taking, I'm curious what your solutions are here? I say just re-introduce the bill first thing during the next session and let those dorks spend the entire year out of state!

                    I don't think there's anything else they could have done. Democrats are not willing to watch the house burn down. Just like I'm not willing to watch it burn either. Everyone else I hear saying let it burn. I like the way this guy stated it in his tweet.




                    And it's becoming self-fulfilling and self-sustaining.

                      They could not cave and give up on fighting climate change. Technically they haven't done that yet but their comments suggesting they might are what she's referring to and is concerned about.

                        trix and Scoobs, IMHO you guys are too focused on instant gratification. Okay so Goopers fled the state with 5 days left in the legislative session. A quick look at Ballotpedia says that the Oregon legislature can call a special session when a majority of the House and Senate agree. Do you see a solution here? Call a special session in 6 days from now until the end of the year and then reintroduce the bill at the beginning.

                          *** are you talking about?

                          I've been waiting over 20 years. I'd say longer but I don't think I really figured it out until then.

                            The problem is the way the democrats were previously talking it sounded like they abandoned the issue altogether. If they haven't done that and rather, went through the process to force it to a vote, then I have no gripe with them.

                              in 2011 Dems did the same thing in Wisconsin when something like 14 D legislators fled the state to avoid having a quorum to vote on Walker's budget repair bill, which eviscerated public unions' collective bargaining powers. The law was eventually passed, and I don't recall how the Rs got around the quorum issue.

                                I remember that. I think it's childish no matter who does it.
                                Never really developed a taste for tequila. Kind of hard to understand how you make a drink out of something that sharp, inhospitable. Now, bourbon is easy to understand.
