Your comment is awaiting moderation.
Palin may prove to help or hurt McCain. Two months is a very long time in politics. In either case, it seems hard to imagine, today, that she is the irresponsible, patronizing choice that many in the press were charging before they had any idea who she was.

I used to admire what I thought was objectivity in journalism. Maybe that’s a virtuous ideal we should revisit on occasion.

But that was merely a marketing campaign.

you’re right. I think we should support initiatives that protect the environment, but we should make sure the climate change issue (or energy independence issue) isn’t hijacked by any party to sell policies that have little environmental (or energy independence) benefit.

backup, I don’t argue that “bigger push was energy independence with the added promise of reduced emissions”. But that was merely a marketing campaign.

ralph. This sums up the ethanol point:

The bigger push was energy independence with the added promise of reduced emissions. Democrats in congress and Bush, were all on board.

The unintended consequences weren’t worth it.

backup, the government used climate change (and energy independence) to promote ethanol at the behest of Big Agribusiness.

ralph. I agree. It was for the farm lobby, it had bi-partisan support and it was a mistake.

1. if all the big ignorant mouths I read here would walk the walk the country could change directions tomorrow.
2. reading blogs is boring and sad because it reveals just how much ignorant lazy blather is out there – and this is supposed to be the informed electorate?
3. The people (us) do not apparently care because actions speak much louder.
4. You are all socio-pathic schizoids – i bet you write your drivel and go back to being the wasteful oil consumptive consumer you have learned to be.
5. If you REALLY want to see change than stop using petroleum in all its forms. Start contributing to a cause with your time and money.

You and maybe one other poster here. The rest of us find it hard to forgive the former CaptainDumbtastic.

Maybe if you searched, google would have some cached comments from this traitor since TP rightfully deleted most if not all his/her past bullshit.

DieForPeaceNow. Here’s a link to a TP thread before I was banned as CaptainMantastic. My posts were deleted, but others have pasted my posts in responses. Do me a favor and find the most offensive ones, and I’ll address them.

dbadass.

So about this climate thing? Fact or fiction?…

I think the planet’s getting warmer. I think man plays a role in the warming (how significant, I don’t know).

But, regardless of how significant man’s role is, most of the initiatives to slow the warming are good for the environment. And good for reducing our dependence on foreign oil.

I support better fuel standards and reductions in emissions.

The only hesitation I have is an unchecked empowerment of governments to use the issue of climate change to impliment policy that have little benefit to the environment.

They used climate change in part to promote ethanol (which I believe was a mistake).

And I posted the link up around #10, that indicates some misuse of the carbon credit program funding.
