Answer 1

HE`S A OIL TYCOON !! all he cares about is his wallet

Answer 2

Only a fool would believe the best/most competent run for the Presidency. It has been decades since even a fully competent one ran for office, but I guess I have higher expectations.

1st I'm looking for at least someone as conservative as JFK, which neither party is today. One able to convey a message as well as Reagan. One that is willing to look outside the box to come up with an economically viable way to do things.

If the environmentalists would propose their desires with economy building solutions, they'd get more respect. Remember they portray themselves as the ones with the superior intellect. Show us dumb conservatives the solution. If the economy doesn't prosper the waist will have no funds available to be treated properly.

Personally I've offered an outside the box solution to changing the economics of Renewable Energy to both sides of the aisle & neither side was interested in doing anything but patting themselves on the back.

Feinstein made the biggest show of mandating an increase in the cost of energy by saying that 20% of power grid energy has to come from Renewables. She didn't do anything about the economics. The environmentalist didn't say a word about how much of the rain forest was donated to create sugar fields for Brazilian cars.

Answer 3

He's a greedy Republican who cares more about corporations (especially oil companies) and huge profits than he does about the planet or the human race. That's become a pretty common attitude among Republican politicians, but he carries it farther than most do. As an oil man, he only cares about the profits, not the consequences for his children and grandchildren.

By the way, what gave you the idea that he's the smartest Republican? I'd say he's the stupidest ever to hold a high government office.

Answer 4

Correct about one thing, Americans don't want to rule the world. The old Soviet Union did and you better watch the Chinese. You need to invest more time understanding free markets and Reagan, Reagan didn't push NAFTA. Oh, and what about Clinton and 'free trade' as you understand it? And you need some supporting arguement that conservative moral values lead to irrational decision making. Have you ever viewed the pictures or seen a "late term abortion"? Hope you kept your lunch down. Late term abortion exist because of liberals and their perspective that a woman's right to privacy is more important than a viable fetus. Good luck.

Answer 5

Because he has so many idiotic supporters
to all those who refer to global warming/cooling as cyclical
you are correct
the problem is that we have vastly accelerated the rate of warming and if we continue we may not be able to reverse the effect
have you heard of a tipping point
so what if mars is warming
we dont live on that planet although perhaps some of you should
read some factual scientific journals instead of professing to be experts because of what you saw on tv or read in a fodder magazine

Answer 6

Going against ill-planned and biased legislation does not mean that you favor what the legislation is ATTEMPTING to do. That is like saying that if you voted against shooting illegal immigrants on site, it meant you supported them. Your conclusion is invalid.

As for Bush being the smartest republican, nobody ever said that, either. He has had some good and some bad ideas. Like his stance on illegal immigrants is the dumbest likely the dumbest idea he has ever had.

Tom...you are absolutely right. I have long maintained that even Al Gore does not believe Al Gore. If I believed what was in that movie, I would ride a bicycle anywhere I went, there is NO WAY that anyone who truly believes what is in that movie would live like he does.

Answer 7

Any legislation to control pollution in the US must be passed by the Legislative Branch (i.e. Congress). So, a better questions would be "Why does Congress support pollution and destroying the environment?"

An interesting side note, the environment-loving Democrats control Congress at the moment.

Answer 8

WASHINGTON - "The United States is lining up with China, India and the world's other biggest polluters in opposition to mandatory cuts in Earth-warming greenhouse gases sought by the United Nations and European countries."

And once again this administration makes the WRONG choice.

Answer 9

Do you honestly believe Al Gore and the Global Warming message he spreads as he files around in his private jet and pollutes as much as 100s of SUVs. Do you honestly believe this "pseudo-scientist". He's a slimy lawyer who's only purpose is to benefit himself and elevate himself to superstar status.

Why are the polar ice-caps on Mars melting. Is it because of human activity or could it be that the sun has something to do with this. Could this whole thing be cyclic?

And how come Al Gore is not protesting in front of the Chinese embassy that China is now the world's most polluted country. How come he's not insisting that newspapers be banned or taxed. They have a 1-day lifespan and cause enormous waste and deforestation. How come Gore pollutes as much as 50 - 100 average American families. Is he entitled to destroy more of this Earth than any of us are?

Answer 10

Yep, we're going to be buddies with India and China on the environment- the two stinkiest countries in the world. Figures.

Answer 11

Well he doesn't believe ion taxing Americans based on the anthrocentric global warming myth.

Man made global warming is a myth. Look into Soros' funding of Dr Hansen and NASA's climate studies.
