What makes you think the opposition is "knee jerk"? Recent Polling?? Lets see the polls.....you should post your references.
People are pissed because they are hearing what is in the bill from second and third hand sources....may be true, may not be true.....where they should be hearing the facts from is their elected representation, but they can't because their representatives either don't know the answers or won't take the time to answer questions. Thats why you see such anger at these dog and pony show "town hall" hearings.
The opposition to this legislation as far as I can see is based upon the fact that we have members of the Senate and Congress admitting the legislation is too big to read by themselves (must have aides help them) and yet they want to quickly pass it and move in as if its not something worthy of serious debate and deliberation.

I have no issues with the well intentioned supporters of alternative technologies.
However, before you start supporting a specific project take a look behind the curtain to see who/what profits from a project like this.
They aren't the least bit concerned with the environment....or the well being of the areas to be affected by their project.
Bottom line....$$$$$$$$$$$.

This is not biased based on party, I am a concerned Massachusetts citizen tired of what our Federal Government (Dems and Repubs) is taking away from us.

Hey, I am all for clean energy...only makes sense right? Eliminate dirty fossil fuels, carbon emissions, our dependency on foreign oil (of course the US has more than enough oil, if we chose to get it, but that is beside the point). Thus is it very hard to come down on the opposite side of clean energy.
I have concerns about the true intentions of the politicians/businesses pushing this agenda. It seems to me that alot of them are well positioned to profit from this next Industrial Revolution.
I have zero stake in siting this in Nantucket Sound, but yet feel there are less obtrusive locations that are available. Also, not convinced on the supposed savings to the Cape rate payers.
From the supporters to the non supporters, I have yet to read any post that is against clean energy, I think most who post objectionably are against the location, not clean energy.

Performance enhancing drugs increase your strength but not your eye-hand coordination. Manny would do just fine without the drugs, just may not have hit as many homers.
From a performance standpoint I really don't see an issue with using steroids.....who really cares what these dopes do to their body. They are in the business of entertainment, so taking steroids allows them to entertain better....no skin of my back.
Baseball purists will tell you otherwise, but to me, its not a big deal.
I find it hypocritical that the League is now running around making it appear that they are trying to clean up baseball, when they turned the other cheek back in the mid 90's when they were trying to put fannies back in the seats after the strike.
Baseball has lost all credibility now....so they have become strictly for entertainment purposes.....sort of like "Pro Wrestling".

Abolishing the Fed is the way to stabilize our monetary system, they create the bubbles with their insane monetary manipulatiion....and if you remove the Fed, we wouldn't have massive amounts of interest to pay.
Congress has the ability under the Constitution to print money....however, Calvin Coolidge gave that away in 1913, and the currency should be backed by gold or silver, but Nixon gave that away in 1971.
Global currency is hogwash, we just need to correct the policy mistakes of the past and we will be headed in the right direction.

It's easy to say they are taking jobs away from US citizens, but until now, they are jobs no one wanted. Welfare benefits paid more than some of these jobs, so they fill a great niche. Thus the lack of any enforcement of immigration laws or border control.

It's all about corporate profits and always will be. We have been shipping most of our manufacturing/production to China, etc. for many decades.
If we got rid of all the illegals here, there would be no manufacturing/producing jobs, these businesses would just pack up shop and leave the USA because they can't compete. The USA is now a service industry.....the plumber fixes the electricians pipes, the landscaper mows the plumbers lawn, and the electrician fixes the landscapers wires, etc.
The real issue is that the government has been hiding the level of inflation in the US for decades...because of this phony baloney fiat money system. One of the ways to hide it is to keep labor cheap thus keeping food and materials cheaper.
This country is in serious debt and they have been rolling it over and over for a while now....thats why I get the feeling this economy is in deep trouble, unless Obama can come up with a way to prolong the inevitbale.
So, while illegals are a grave concern, the focus should be on why they are here and why neither party makes them leave.

And, I think its not addressed, because they really don't want to deal with it.
So these little amendments are all well and good, but the main issue will never be addressed.....why are they here and why haven't they been removed??

Hey Bob-
Enlighten us? What are the issues?
Just curious, what would you like to see at that location? I can't believe that the preference would be what's there currently.
I am assuming this property is up for sale. If the condominium owners are so concerned about what is in their backyard, why didn't they buy the property and turn it into a sanctuary, pool, or whatever else they want.
Otherwise, the property owner and prospective buyer should be able to construct what they have legally been approved for. They aren't pulling any punches, they followed the appropriate legal channels for approval of their project.
Now that the condo owners didn't get what they wanted, they are crying in their milk.
I agree, this is a waste of everyone's time and money.

This isn't a slam on any particular political party, as I think both are controlled by the same groups of people. The parties just take two different directions to achieve the same ultimate goal.

My example wasn't necessarily about real estate, it was to demonstrate how businesses show losses when they really have been poaching profits. Then when times are tough they expect employess to either take a pay cut, customers to pay more for their product, ask for a taxpayer bailout, or just go bankrupt.
This type of enterprise corruption has been going on for years....its how the corporate elite make their true money.

I am all ears and ready to join....however, finding the financial backing to run such a campaign may prove difficult.
Sadly, I am not sure it's up to the people anymore, since most of them get their ideas from main stream media and can't think for themselves.

Capecodted50,
Losing money you say??
Let me just give you a small example of "losing" money.
I buy a house for $125,000 back in 1991, the rental income pays the mortgage. It's a good deal for everyone.
Speed ahead to 2004, the rents are twice that of 1991, but the mortgage is the same...economy is cranking, everyone is making money, some more than others. In 2005, the greedy owner decides to refinance so that the rents once again just cover the new higher mortgage of $350,000. The owner pockets the re-finance money, spends it wherever/however he wants (not in higher wages of course).....now speed ahead to 2009. The markets have tanked, rents have dropped, and the owner now has a $500 deficit each month.....the owner has 2 options.
Raise rent (i.e. lower wages), or let the property go to the banks (i.e bankruptcy)....(well 3, he could light in on fire and collect the insurance money, discussion for another time).
So, I ask you....have they really lost money?
Stop believing everything you read.

Its easy to jump on Rep. Perry because he does have an R next to his name and the party has lost their direction over the last 8 years.
However, this does not give the D party carte blanche to pass a $3 trillion budget, that three generations will have trouble repaying.
It's funny, this tea party should be directed at both parties, because they both stink right now.

Don't really care about political parties, it's irrelevant to me.
Losing 1 million a week? You shouldn't always believe what you read and better yet what budget number are they basing that loss on. Talk to the fat cat board members, tell them they should give back some of their multi millions they took out of the company when they should have been saving for a rainy day like NOW.
Maybe they should ask for a bailout....not sure the bankers would be willing to share.

You should practice what you preach......you say the first step towards taking back America is to stop dividing us by labels such as "socialists, etc.", but yet your first sentences throws blame at the republicans.
I agree with the sentiment of your post but the first sentence makes you a hypocrite.
Republican/Democrat is irrelevant. It is merely two different sides of the same coin. In this case, the strings were loosened, bubbles were created, now the strings are being tightened and a huge power grab/transfer of wealth is taking place. As taxpayers, we are all paying dearly for our legislators past sins.
They want us to be divided because it's easy to blame a particular party, but think about what the ultimate end result was/is.

In response to: Senators Reach Accord on Stimulus Plan as Jobs Vanish
This plan stimulates nothing, it just exacerbates the problems. Spending trillions of dollars that are printed out of thin air, does nothing but put the taxpayers (me and you) further into severe debt.
Unfortunately Obama is just making the terrible situation he inherited much worse.
By all acounts, the proper way to handle this situation is to let things correct on their own without any government intervention. However, this is an unpopular direction for a newly elected president who has promised great things.
So when this tact of printing trillions of fake money blows up into inflation and a devaluing of the dollar beyond repair, he will have the luxury of blaming Bush (like everyone else).

Just because these charities receive a smaller percentage of the donations than most people who donate would like....it doesn't mean it's not a worthy cause.
Everyone posting here makes it sound like every charity is some scam.
Also, keep in mind, the percentage these fundraisers received may be deceiving.....it could be that if the campaigns were more successful, the total fees might have been close to the same as listed, and thus the percentage the fundraiser receives would go down.
Not every campaign is successful, however, these fundraising companies still get their take.

Karent2, you are being very naive to think these boys are not gang members. There is a strong gang presence on the Cape and you would be shocked to see the ages that youngsters start with them.
Whether you these youngsters are in a gang, I would have no idea. However, it wouldn't surprise me. Especially considering the bankroll that the boy was killed for...that isn't chump change.

I wish the owners/editors of the website would spend as much time, effort and energy on the bailout scam that was just perpetrated on all of the taxpaying citizens of this country as they do on Cape Wind....... Some Dems/Repubs alike voted for this including Kerry and a bunch of Mass. congressmen.

This article, while well intentioned, is just preaching to the choir......when you actually make some headway with this reform thing, let us know.....until then, the voters of Mass just keep putting the same ole' boys in office and then complain about it.....it's the same old BS, but all you can do is laugh.

:eyeroll:.....geez, this site can't get enough of Cape Wind....you would think the owners are getting a cut of the profits.
The Globe is a joke, like most liberal rags in print (I know Ned would be proud) these days....."The New England economy sure could use the 600 to 1,000 jobs this project will create over the 2 year installation...."
Well, the proposed Casino will create as many, if not more, longer lasting jobs than that, but I don't here the Globe trumpeting that cause.....
Give it a rest...maybe Kennedy and Delahunt have it right........good green technology, but wrong location.......

Does anyone know...are they waiting to connect to a town water supply or town sewer.
I know it says water supply, but that doesn't jive with why they are waiting for approval.
Of course it may say in one of the previous stories, but I didn't read all of them.

Where are all the people who are in favor of Cape Wind because of the jobs it will provide.
I will bet (pun intended) that this enterprise will employ more people than Cape Wind will.
Ahhhhh, alas, it's just not as PC to be in favor of a casino..... you know, with the undesirables it attracts, and all.

Here, here....I have grown tired of people not taking care of their personal responsiblities and just leaving it for somebody else to mop up.
However, when you say "and even though public officials drive by the home numerous times during the day", I disagree.
That's such a silly statement.....I am sure they have more to worry about than a pile of garbage on Phinney's lane.
Put the blame and burden where it belongs, on the property owner, make this their problem and responsibility......I have had enough of everyone asking our government to handle everything for them.

Merely a sloppy typer, thinking is very clear.
At any rate, keep up the good work monitoring the site for correct grammar.
We have taken up enough of this space for inane banter.

Oh NED, why are you so offended....this wasn't directed at you, but for some reason you felt the need to attack me.
Personal attacks aren't condoned on this here website.
So without attacking back, i will retort.
Dear NED, IT'S is a contraction of it and is. It was purely an omission, not a lack of knowledge, as you imply. As you can see, I used the apostrophe correctly on the third line.
I will grant you the "rag" comment, as I was using the term loosely with regards to this website's (possesive apostrophe) journalistic content. I could see how you would think I thought this site was made of paper.
And yes, I am one of the lonely, and proud of it.....keep on posting.

Coming from someone who has no stake in where the Wind Farm is located, I think the it's a great idea, but in the wrong location.
Also, this malarky about it making an economic impact for the Cape residents is insulting.....this is a for profit business idea...plain and simple.
When the Canal power plant was built, I remember big promises about breaks in our electric rates.....NEVER HAPPENED.
I am as environmentally conscious as the next guy, but give me a break trying to sell this project for more than what it is......a for profit business with a politically correct technology.

Sure, a national banking system that benefits the taxpayer is fine....the current system is a debt money system....its bogus, we need monetary reform, until the government prints its own money, we will never get out of the debt we owe the Federal Reserve.
Just so we are clear the Fed is an Agency of the government but not owned by the government. Don't be fooled by thinking they are on our side here.....

So true, the bankers run the country....doesn't matter Dem or Repub.....google Federal Reserve....Did you know that the Federal Reserve is not owned by the government??? Its owned by private bankers who benefit off of the interest for printing our money...basically off of the taxpayers back....I was floored when I learned this....check it out...there is plenty of info/videos on google or you tube...its astounding.
