Hedge fund billionaire Tom Steyer has a very
simple message for candidates who support American oil and gas jobs:
“The goal here is not to win. The goal here is to destroy these people.”
First on Steyer’s list for destruction: Rep. Stephen Lynch,
D-Mass.
Lynch’s crime? The former ironworker and local union
president supports the Keystone XL pipeline, a project which President Obama’s
own State Department says will
create 48,000 new American jobs. [...]
Steyer has a long list of people who support oil and gas
jobs that he would like to punish. “I see this as a very broad-based societal
change that has to take place. This is a target-rich environment,” he said. In
fact, he wants to do for global warming what billionaire Michael Bloomberg has
done for gun control [which, of course, is next to nothing, so far -- blog editor]. Bloomberg has spent millions supporting pro-gun control
Democrats in House primaries in Illinois and California. But not all Democrats
are happy with Steyer’s spending.
