What is Bush going to do now that a substantial number of evangelical christians, his staunchest supporters, have seen the light and are against global warming? Big trouble at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue...

I might be advantageous for him to start to listen to reason and move the coutry in the right direction to counter this threat, as opposed to keeping his head stuck in the sand and thinking that it will all go away... But then, that would be asking too much from this good ol' boy from Texas... Brains was never his strong suit...

Any excuse to bash! In the first place, name one person who is for global warming? Stumped eh? How can you expect a reasonable discussion unless you ask the right questions? That is unless you don't want a reasonable discussion? Hmmmmm.......

The first question in a discussion of global warming should be is the current trend a short term (weather) or a long term (climate) related one. Once you determine that, you must determine the cause. Obviously that concept is beyond you or you wouldn't resort to calling a Harvard Graduate, fighter pilot, former governor and two term President stupid.

Please tell us what makes you qualified to make this judgment against the President or maybe it's just a gut feeling?

As far as Bush goes, as I recall Bush had a C average at Yale. At schools like Yale, you pretty much get a C just for showing up. It has been widely accepted that Bush would not have gotten into Yale had it not been for his father. Had it not been for his father, Bush could have easily ended up a farm hand at the Lazy Z Ranch in Abeline after flunking out of Northeast Texas State Christain A&M Community College.

As far as Bush knowing how to fly planes, I don't understand how that is indicative of his intelligence. I am assuming you think studying and memorizing an instrument panel takes great intelligence. You give someone enough time, they will eventually figure it out. As they say, even a blind squirrel finds a nut now and then. Here is a quote from an article about Bush's stint flying:

"Bush was accepted into pilot school even though he scored in the 25th percentile on a standardized test. The test was given to all prospective pilots and there was no specific score that disqualified a candidate. In addition, Bush had two arrests for college pranks and four traffic offenses before applying for pilot training. Former and current military pilots say it was uncommon for an applicant to be approved for training with such a record."

I am guessing that Bush quit flying because he would only fly a plane with a right wing and he couldn't understand why this posed a problem.

Well, since everything is Bush's fault maybe the global warming will stop when his presidency is over. I can hear the next Dem pres. hopeful, "With me there will be no Hurricanes, Earthquakes, Tsunamis or Global Warming. Its time to turn around evrything that this republican presidency stands for. I have no clue as how to do it but I'm saying alot of nice things, I've also charged my best bud Gov Granholm with "looking into" all of this"". She, along with the rest of the furthest left leaning peolple in American will be "Looking into" these things for the sake of our fellow Americans. We also think that Brokeback Mountain should be played everyday in every public school lunchroom, and whoever doesn't agree is a close minded, stupid, Global Warming loving person with no feelings.

I absolutely love it! Both parties sitting, pointing fingers all day and not getting a darn thing done for the average American. I'm suprised anyone here can even stand up proudly for thier chosen party. Whatever side you chose to align with, you're getting hosed. We need a viable third party that can actually stand a chance of getting voted in.

WOW! I'm outta breath, I'll leave now.;)

Was it Yale? Okay, it's clear I didn't graduate from a ivy league university either. I am amazed at how much you know about Yale and how you just happen to recall what his average was and that you get a C just for showing up! I commend you for your objective explanation and I was even more impressed with your assessment of how he won his wings.

And what university did you graduate from? Not that it matters, I'm just trying to assess your background so I can judge you.

There are some who think that global warming is good in that it will open up more lands for cultivation...

The overwhelming bulk of scientific evidence is in line with global warming posing the threat of dire long term impacts on the world's climate and population, but then, those scientists and all the hundred or so nations that signed that little treaty to curtail greenhouses gases must be wrong. Feel free to share your doctoral treatises on that subject with the rest of us.

Since I find no evidence that I called the president "stupid," your term, that must be your interpretation of him, and feel free to defend him all you want. I thank that is what the Constitution speaks to, freedom of speech... Or are you suggesting that only speech that is in favor of the president/leader be allowed? I think that is the philosophy of that group of guys that runs China....

I already knew you were kidding. And yes there is a Southwest Texas University and it is located in San Marcos, Texas.

Your always farther ahead when you tell the truth. As a result of your little game, you have lost all credibility. And you probably call Bush a liar!

Frenchie,

Nice spin but like the first time you did not answer my questions and by doing the same thing again you made my point again. Thanks!

No you didn't use the word stupid, but you did say that brains were not the Presidents strong point so a reasonable preson might have construed that you were implying he was stupid. You avoided my question about your qualifications. Maybe you went to the same univeristy as tenring? The President doesn't need any defending from anything you have said because you haven't said anything that has substance. Just rhetoric and innuendo. Come back when you have a real opinion about something.

I do not believe that anyone is saying that global warming is the fault of the president. What is infuriating is that, as far as I can recall, he has not even acknowledged that it exists......or at least has not said that it is a product of our making. That is the real issue here. If he has addressed it as a problem he has done nothing to start to try to fix it.

Archives my derriere DUDE. Why not post this at the top of the thread. Why then do you debate it here. Why do you post? It's old news...right? Why bother? I find this line to be most telling:

"And your opinion is not important enough to most of us to bring it up again."


Sad, man.....really sad. You are a true American, MTE. Your opinion doesn't matter, so just shut up so we can spew whatever we want on this board. The America I live in says that everyone's opinion matters. They have their right to express it, and you have your right to disregard it. Who is this elusive WE. Do you own this board? Is this not a political discussion board? I had no idea that discussion was one sided. Without dissent, you would just have a bunch of guys preaching to the choir.

So as to not upset the WE that MTE represents, I would suggest to moderators that an archive nazi be appointed to smack down any and all threads that have any reference to a post that may have happened in years past. This way we do not bother the WE that MTE refers to. Lord knows we don't want to go down those paths again. Because no argument is worth revisiting.....oh heck no.

.

WASHINGTON - Jack Abramoff said in correspondence made public Thursday that President Bush met him “almost a dozen” times, disputing White House claims Bush did not know the former lobbyist at the center of a corruption scandal.

“The guy saw me in almost a dozen settings, and joked with me about a bunch of things, including details of my kids. Perhaps he has forgotten everything, who knows,” Abramoff wrote in an e-mail to Kim Eisler, national editor for the Washingtonian magazine.


ahem....Bush is a Liar. but his worse trait is he is incompetent.

So again...becasue they do not agree with you, their opinion doesn't matter.... we label them leftists. Why not at least launch investigations with a bipartisan panel....why not at least look at it? Why just sweep it under the rug? That is the real tragedy here. Deny Deny Deny...so therefore it must not be true. Of course most Republicans, it could be argued, are pro big business...so therefore their agenda would be to protect them and the polluters among them.

:dizzy: I'll stick simply to the Global Warming/Kyoto portion.

Kyoto has been a failure. It failed because it was drafted in la-la land. How many countries do you expect to decelerate their growth and inflict economic hardships on their citizens? When industry is adamantly opposed? Thirteen of the fifteen signatories have not been able to hit their reduction goals. Kyoto was a waste of time.

Article Quotes:

Shocking! Thirteen of the 15 EU nations that signed the Kyoto Protocol will fall short of the "mandatory" first-phase emissions reductions to which they agreed.

http://www.azcentral.com/arizonarepu...uelets024.html (http://www.azcentral.com/arizonarepublic/opinions/articles/0103tuelets024.html)


"But Revkin failed to note that the U.S. performed better than Kyoto Protocol signatory Canada or that former enthusiastic boosters of Kyoto like Britain’s Tony Blair now find the treaty unrealistic."

http://www.freemarketproject.org/new...ws20051221.asp (http://www.freemarketproject.org/news/2005/news20051221.asp)


"Federal Industry Minister Ian Macfarlane has declared the Kyoto Protocol on climate change a failure."

"By working together particularly with developing countries like China and India, we are going to make a far bigger impact on greenhouse gas reduction than a diplomatic protocol that has already failed which is the case with Kyoto," he said.

When industry is adamantly opposed? Thirteen of the fifteen signatories have not been able to hit their reduction goals. Kyoto was a waste of time.

Article Quotes:

Shocking! Thirteen of the 15 EU nations that signed the Kyoto Protocol will fall short of the "mandatory" first-phase emissions reductions to which they agreed.

"But Revkin failed to note that the U.S. performed better than Kyoto Protocol signatory Canada or that former enthusiastic boosters of Kyoto like Britain’s Tony Blair now find the treaty unrealistic."

"Federal Industry Minister Ian Macfarlane has declared the Kyoto Protocol on climate change a failure."

"By working together particularly with developing countries like China and India, we are going to make a far bigger impact on greenhouse gas reduction than a diplomatic protocol that has already failed which is the case with Kyoto," he said.

That does not address my concern. Kyoto is not a bipartisan panel looking into the validity of global warming. You say it's not there...I say it is. Same thing goes on in D.C. So why not at least look into it...study it....leave the "leftist" academics and scientists out of it. Leave the pro-business lobbyists out of it. Just a frank and honest look into the potential of this being man-made, and then looking into potential solutions. That is all I am saying. Please do not twist my words. I do not think this is unreasonable.

Nope. Not worth the effort. As Judge Judy titled her book "Don't pee on my leg and tell me it's raining".


How about this book "Don't shove your head in the sand"
