Political Punch

Congratulations!!! This article is featured in Just Sayin

Top UN scientists have been forced to admit that natural weather occurrences are having a far greater effect on climate change than CO2 emissions as a continued cooling trend means there has been no global warming since 1998.

But despite overwhelming signs of global cooling - China's coldest winter for 100 years and record snow levels across Northeast America - allied with temperature records showing a decline - global warming advocates still cling to the notion that the world is cooling because of global warming!

Personally speaking as an outsider living in the 53rd state ( uk ), i think you are all ( dems and reps ) a bunch of back stabbing, my team is the best team and you are never right, fill your own pockets hypocrites, who dont listen to the people, dont do enough about the important issues that affect the US and the rest of the world but rather devote all their time and resources to the furtherence of there own inflated self importance. THERE WILL NEVER BE AN ANSWER TO GLOBAL WARMING AS LONG AS THERE ARE DEMOCRATS AND REPUBLICANS

There is an Etta James song that says.."If you can lie no better(than that), you might as well tell the truth."
I think that says it all.
By the way, Romney and Palin have worked similar jobs, yet McCain definetely said, Romney was not qualified, so what makes Palin more qualified, If you campare these two resumes?

IT'S CALLED LYING!

While reading this blog, I was so surprised to see just how many people think MCCain & Palin are habitual liars. I'm stunned quite frankly. And I'm thrilled that so many are seeing the light.

I have found and verified Sarah Palin has always done this flip-flopping. She changes to "populist" stance always. Review her history.

What does she feel?? I can only go by all of her past stances - long ago and recently. Facts - she feels global warming is not man made.

As a woman I am disappointed in Sarah Palin!! I verified she lies! All news media, analysts, fact check, etc have she is lying!

John McCain has been lying right and left. All proven by same above agencies, etc. Both still stand by their proven lies!!

Americans must stand up and ask for honest politicians!! Seek the truth!!

Remember the Ice Age, when the Great Lakes (around Chicago, Detroit, etc, for those of you non-geo buffs) were solid ice sheets hundreds of feet thick???

'supposedly' that was 10,000+ years ago. And where did these 'ice sheets' go, students??

A. That's right,,,they've melted. All without man being around in cars and Industrial Revolution.

Q. Who repealed a 1933 law that was set up to regulate lending practices of finanacial institutions?

A. That's right, William J. Clinton. "The Glass-Steagall repeal was the worse domestic policy decision that the Clinton Administration ever made, and that’s saying something. Furthermore, it’s only going to get worse from here going forward."

Over 90% DISAPPROVAL rating for Congress. Hey cupcakes, do ya think that is BOTH 'repubs' and 'dems' that DON'T LIKE CONGRESS???

The Supreme Court, isn't SUPREME. They are SUPPOSED to be 1/3 the power. NO ONE can stand up to them. They are there for life. And Barry Obama (B.O.) wants MORE like the 5 Socialists on the current court.

How nice. They could wave their wand and put me out in the fields if that happened.

Nice try, B.O. I won't vote for you or your ilk. Anyone but Obama and Liberals.

You want 'nationalized health care'??? Move your as s to Canada, Britain, or maybe more to your liking, just 90 miles so. of Florida, to Cuba.

There is no one perfect, yet I sure do hear a lot of immature 'my team is better/my cookie is bigger/than yours' types of games being played.

We just got socialized on the stock market. Better sell your 401K, baby boomers. The stock market does another 89%+ tank from here over the next few years.

Thanks Congress, Pres. Clinton, and other SPINELESS who are IN CONTROL of the financial world.

Who can best fix it, if we keep the SAME CONGRESS, SAME SUPREME COURT in place????

Not ONE man, or woman my friends. Not one.

Policy, not the person. Tell China to get pollution controls in place, will ya? lol

dl, for some reason I do not think that you would have voted Republican no matter what. In case you have not noticed, McCain is not popular amoungst conservatives, and Sarah Palin was added to the ticket for conservatives, not liberals.

Fact is, there has been no global warming since 1998, and every major temperature keeper of record is recording a cool down for 2008. The old wisdom has always been that the sun spots are responsible for climate change, and the historic records seems to confirm that CO2 has never been a driver of climate change in the past, although it has reached levels 10 times higher than current.

Right now we are fortunate to be experiencing a real life test of competing theories. This current solar minimum is unusual long, which should mean that we see a return to temperatures about like what were witnessed 100 years ago. If it does not continue to cool off over the next couple of years, then the global warmists win, but depending on how much it does cool it could also mean that this entire global warming junk can be properly dismissed. What's the rush to invest a bunch of money in something that will not effect the world for 100 years, when we could wait about 2 years to see if it is really worth the effort?

OK, if she doesn't believe Global Warming is man made why would she support government intervention (i.e. McCain's Cap & Trade proposals)? Wouldn't that just be adding to government waste, contrary to the main (only?) thrust of McCain/Palin's change platform? If she truly believes that 'climate change' is only cyclical, how does she think man can effect that?

Why couldn't she just answer honestly (or as close as politicians can) and say she is still undecided on causes personally, but she supports McCain's position on it? How hard is that?

ok, this is definitely my favorite response so far:
"...As an independent voter, my mind was made up last night. No way, No how. We cannot afford anymore power hungry, incompetent, and unprepared leaders, even if we would like to have a beer with them!"

OH, WAIT, YOU WEREN'T TALKING ABOUT OBAMA!!

(by the way, nice astroturfing "CathyR", axelrod will be proud of you).

How dumb are McCain and Palin to run an ad saying 'she opposed the bridge to nowhere' in a show...NiteLine...where she was clearly revealed to be a liar?

McCain thinks people are just as stupid and not listening to facts.

Tom, it's not that the authors can't "listen more closely". They simply choose not too. And this from people who were probably English majors in college.

Maybe Simon and Garfunkel said it best in The Boxer: "Man hears what he wants to hear and disregards the rest."

Jake, read what she said:

"man's activities can be attributed to changes"

The story is that she garbled the syntax to the point she did not contradict her earlier comments by saying what you think she said:

"Climate change can be attributed to man's activities"

You ABC guys need to learn to listen closely. During the interview, Gibson claimed that she had said climate change was man-made, but she only acknowledged the potential. At least Gibson was having to think on his feet. What's your excuse?

The McCain camp is just blatantly lying. This is really getting pathetic. McCain and Palin are trying to run as old school conservatives, but they are big government Bush Federalist Republicans. They are not reformers. They are not againt "Washington" or the "media" at all. McCain called the media "his base". Palin's repeats the "I was against the Bridge to Nowhere" talking point about about 20 times, then suddenly admits she was actually FOR the Bridge to Nowhere? I mean, c'mon. I'm not a big Obama supporter, but there is absolutely no chance I'd vote for the McCain/Palin ticket. If only Ron Paul had switched back to the Libertarian Party, I would have voted for him in a heartbeat (yes, I know he is not perfect either).

Palin is a grim, bloodthirsty, and savage liar. She has now been exposed for the world to see.

"it behooves us all to look askance at what passes for "scientific" opinion that pretends certainty where none could exist"

For years Republicans pretended it was a hoax.

Now they say the science isn't proven.

All while claiming to be innocent bystanders interested in the truth.

This is so lame...
Jake - can you distinguish between a root cause of something and a potentially contributing factor? The issue here isn't a case of Palin contradicting herself, it's that you apparently have a difficult time with rudimentary logic.

Commenting on the evolution of the current credit crisis Jeremy Grantham quoted John Maynard Keynes: "When the facts change, I change my mind - what do you do, sir?"

That quote applies even more to global warming -- far more unpredictable than greed, fear and the workings of Mr. Market.

Clearly Palin is no idealogue. She is a pragmatist. So if she changed her mind so what? Just shows she keeps evaluating and adjusts her views when new facts emerge. A good quality in a leader.

"show me where I've said there's absolute proof"

OK Jake....show US where she's said there's "absolute proof". You sure didn't do it in this post. You didn't even come close.
