An Inconvenient Hypocrite

If only Bush would talk the talk as well, but he's not. Unfortunately his house will not make up for that.

I'm sorry, but as far as I'm concerned, Gore has lost all credibility on this issue.

You're saying your words are more important than your actions? I don't buy it.

If you want to know what someone really thinks, watch what he does, not what he says. If the two are in disagreement, actions speak louder than words.

Defame! Defame! Defame!

Am I buying it? No.

 

And Madanthonywayne, are you trying to imply that eco-friendly measures are now, just somehow out of the good ol' science, a good thing!?

How very unusual for you...

 

Bush started a war for oil, leading to the deaths of over 3,000 Americans, the wounding of 40,000 more, and countless thousands of Iraqi deaths, the use of depleted uranium in warfare, millions of gallons of diesel and jet fuel expended in Iraq, advocated drilling in ANWR, refused to raise fuel mileage standards for cars sold in the US, and like Gore, drives around in fleets of armored suburbans and air force one. He has single handedly done more to destroy the environment than Gore ever will with his big house.

He is spidergoat, its just that you don't want to see it, President Bush has a lot more information on Kyoto, than any of use are privileged to, and just maybe he see thing in the accords that are not a good thing? and are the Kyoto Accords the way to go, not if it wrecks the economy, and from what I have read that is exactly what it would do to the U.S. it would destroy our way of life and revert us back to third world status, everybody else rides for free, and we pay the bill, and after the final bill comes due and we are in the shitter, who pays then?

 

Since Gore's "house" is a 20 room 8 bathroom castle, it is safe to say it is SLIGHTLY bigger than the average American household. So it only uses 2-3 times more than the average.

BUT! If we add that he has a giant machine in his basement that recreates the ozonlayer, his house is actually vert economical...

So did President Clinton before when we initially signed on. And Clinton was the one who balanced the budget.

Started a war for oil, Really, and your proof? everything that I have read from reliable sources say it was about 1441, war for oil, that was Bush 1, and I hope so, the market price is a good thing to protect.

As for drilling in AMWAR, it would cut our dependency of foreign oil, keep the price reasonable, and give the middle east less of a strangle hold on the world markets, and if we opened up all of the known oil reserves around our country we could revert the middle to a non factor on the worlds political stage.

 

It's ANWR.
And there's not much oil up there. Even at the most generous estimated, it'd last America for a few months.

 

Facial, that balancing act was projections, of the budget and never was fact, and if Bill was so keen on Kyoto, why didn't he singe the accords, he could have.

 

Maybe he has a bunch of illegal Mexicans who vote Democrat waving fans to cool the places.

 

I know I don't get a chance to say it much, but I'm by no means in favor of ruining the enviroment.

I have replaced all my incandescent bulbs with compact fluorescents, I replaced one of my gas guzzlers with a car that guzzles less gas (it gets more than double the mpg of the vehicle it replaced. I almost bought a Prius, but heard they were unreliable.) I also bought all new low E windows for my house.

It's simply that I, like Bush, think that the Kyoto protocol would destroy the US economy. I'm perfectly willing to what I can, but am not willing to destroy my country to decrease the temperature one degree over the next hundred years.

I have to say that Gore's actions make it look like he's simply an opportunist using global warming as a political football.

 

Roman, you proof? the amount of oil isn't known for sure until they start drilling, and if you recall I said to open it all, we have oil that hasn't been touched, east coast, Florida cost, Gulf of Mexico, west coast, Great Lakes Basin, The Permian Basin, the North Slope, and how long has that been producing? and ANWAR has more potential then the North Slope find, we have reserves in Oklahoma, Texas, Louisiana, Kansas, all through out the mid west, if we did start using our own oil we could make the transition to new energy in a more controlled manner, and make the Middle east irreverent, to our energy policies.

 

See that's the thing we righties want to die of foul air and water. Weird, do you think you socialists could ever join us in this?

Moron!!!

 

It's ANWR.
There's no ANWAR.

My proof?
Even the oil companies aren't that hot on developing up there. There's just too much risk. It'd be a costly operation, and probably won't pay back much.

How would using more oil make the transition to new energy more controlled? It would only postpone the transition. Your reasoning is similar to "if I smoke this crack now, I'm less likely to use it later."
