RFK Jr seems to be the answer to a trivia question nobody is asking.

Anyone know what kind/s of vehicle/s Robert Kennedy drives/owns/leases?

The Bush administration’s policies allow coal burning power plants to continue to burn coal, which causes increased instances of asthma and high levels of toxic mercury in freshwater sources, said Kennedy, adding that mercury contamination can cause autism, blindness and mental retardation

So much for the Dims being for "working families", I'm sure that the good people of WV would like to hear that their savior's nephew is advocating shutting down the mines.

That's rich. Didn't it take him like 5 tries to pass the bar exam?

Wouldn't you love to be there and ask the simple question: "So exactly how much gas and oil did leak from uncle Teddy's olds?"

“He looked at everything going on with the asthma. A lot of my family members have it. It’s a good issue,” said Sherry Weitz, a printer. Her father, brother and sister suffer from the debilitating lung affliction, she said.

A lot of the aathma problems are occurring because people stay shut up inside houses and offices built too tight to breathe and don't get enough fresh air and exercise.

Ok, granted, I do not have a copy of RFK Jr's remarks, but I noticed the glaring absence of something.

Ok, you don't like coal sir? So what is your alternative to supplying electric power to America?

(tick tock tick tock tick tock DING)


Yes? It's coming, I can just feel it, he is going to answer here in just a minute...</Sarcasm>

Hello Jr. There IS no alternative to coal fired Power Plants. That's why we use them. THAT is why the administration has loosened some restrictions and promoted the research and development of "CLEAN COAL". Our economy DEMANDS cheep power with the current price of oil, and Coal is it. Not only that, it is already in place and supplying power that is otherwise impossible to produce. You idiots won't relax the regulations and lawsuits that prevent us from building more NEWER AND MORE EFFICIENT Power plants, so we are stuck with what we have. Of course Nuclear Power just scares the nads out if ya, and you won't let us build any of those either, though the technology exists to prevent Love canals and Chernobyl's. The US NAVY does it on Submarines and Aircraft Carriers every day with NO incidents at all EVER.

There is NO alternative unless you want to retool all those existing power plants to burn Oil. Oops, perhaps not such a good idea eh?

I know! How about we take all those illegal immigrants and put them on treadmills and bikes, wire em up, pay em more than min. wage and make em run for our power? "Work it, WORK IT! Come on Jose, you wimp, RUN you illegal bugger!! 5000 more miles we give you a green card!"</Sarcasm>

Bitch all you like you trust fund baby, but until you can come up with a VIABLE alternative (rather than just whining and bemoaning things that are not only essential for the smooth running of the entire economy {affordable sources of energy}, but also impossible to change at the moment with current technology), SHUT THE HELL UP!

President Bush has the right of it. Look into alternatives to get us collectively off Oil and Coal, put tons of $$ into that, and eventually, long term, you WILL get a solution. Until then, there is NOTHING else to be done about it.

Jr., if you want to champion the cause of eliminating pollution, then get on the boat to FINDING a solution rather than crying your ass off, screaming that the sky is falling. You are doing NOTHING to change anything. You just look like the whiner you were raised to be.

Left-wing idiot....I wish the class would have turned their backs on him.

Just guessing that he did not speak at the graduation for free.
