ORLANDO, Fla. - As Tropical Storm Alberto threatened to strengthen into the ninth hurricane in 22 months to affect Florida, former President Clinton predicted Monday that Republican environmental policies will lead to more severe storms. ADVERTISEMENT
"It is now generally recognized that while Al Gore and I were ridiculed, we were right about global warming," Clinton said at a fundraiser for the Florida Democratic Party. "It's a serious problem. It's going to lead to more hurricanes."
Gore's documentary, "An Inconvenient Truth," chronicles the former vice president's efforts to educate the public about global warming. It's in limited release around the country.
In his critique of the GOP, Clinton also touched on the war in Iraq, the rising federal deficit and high health care costs. The crowd of about 500 greeted him with loud applause and shouts of "We love you, Bill!" and "Four more years!"
Jeff Sadosky, spokesman for the state Republican Party, decried Clinton's rhetoric. " Bill Clinton's class warfare and race-baiting message gets us no closer to solutions for the issues he brings up," he said.
Sadosky referred in part to Clinton's comments earlier this month in Arizona. At that event, Clinton characterized Republican Party leaders as right-wing, white Southerners.
once again... I blame Krintong for global warming. The guy is FULL of hot air.
ROTFLMAO
They still preface every one of their global warming statements with this little modifier. Deep down they know it's possibly all bullsh*t.
Hey Slick! Where were you and Totem Pole on the pesky Kyoto Treaty thingy?
Hitlery going to have to divorce him if she expects to run for president. They're on 2 different sides of the wacko left.
BWAAAAHAHAHAhahahahaa~! The proverbial windbag is full of hot air and liberal cow-dung again.

Let's hope the RATS make Kyoto their major campaign issue. Not too many thinking folks are buying into global warming, or is it global cooling ?
The Dems have noticed that this issue has re-energized Al Gore. If ANYTHING can energize Gore it must be a winner! Bill and the gang want a cut of the political action.
I was just wondering why we haven't heard from ol' BJ for awhile. And here he is! Spouting his usual cr*p - he's so incredibly irrelevant.
Liberal boob-bait from Bubba.
Heh. What a laugh! Wonder what Condi and Colin and Alberto and Justices Thomas and Alito, and Janice Rogers Brown and Ken Blackwell(and the list goes on and on) think about this.
You gotta love, Bubba. Here's a guy who did virtually nothing for anyone except himself, and the Democrats love him.
With President Clinton the axiom was always this: "Talk is precious, action is cheap."
Heck, Mr. Clinton spent 25% of his time as president defending himself against charges that he was getting sexual favors from a young woman his daughter's age...and that he did not lie under oath. Mama mia, this man is such a putz. But then, that's what he thinks with, I guess.
"Four more years" for this creep? Sounds like there are some very unusual Democrats in central Florida. And I hope they keep low to avoid all of those Republican induced hurricanes.
I have a cousin Alfredo. Honest.
You've at least got to admit that Xlintoon knows a good blow when he sees one.
