Today, Representative Ed Markey pushed this story back to the forefront with a Huffington Post piece. After setting the record straight on Romney’s falsehood and explaining the urgency of clean energy legislation, Markey finishes strong:

So the next time you hear Mitt Romney or other opponents of clean energy and climate legislation railing about the costs of action, you should multiply your suspicion by whatever number they are attempting to sell. Odds are, it is far from even-handed.

While this is a solid piece, and Representative Markey makes his case well, he barely mentions the other Republican politicians who have repeated this lie. I understand the value of pegging this on a potential 2012 Presidential candidate, but there are over a dozen current elected officials in the Republican party who have repeated this lie as well.

Since I last updated the count a few weeks ago, eight additional Republican politicians and party organizations have repeated the lie, bringing the total to 20.

GOP wrong on Pelosi’s “place” wrong on McChrystal’s prerogative

By now it’s clear that the Senate Finance Committee won’t cough up a heathcare bill before the summer recess.

The TV keeps telling me that credit markets are frozen. Businesses can’t get the loans they need to stay afloat. People can’t get mortgages. But one groups seems to be doing just fine.
The NRCC just received an $8 million loan from Wachovia. The loan is totally unsecured, meaning if the NRCC defaults the bank gets NOTHING.
