Spiff, I read what you wrote and I even watched the video. Never let it be said that I didn’t listen to my fellow FReepers. FReepers are on the ball.
But for crying out loud, in the first part as it relates to global warning, he is again doing what a good politician would do. Pay lip service to appease the whacko environmentalists and then do nothing other than promote free market solutions like Nuclear Power Plants, and ethanol subsidies to make up for the fact that it’s still 5x more expensive to produce ethanol than petroleum...but heck I’ll make an exception to my belief in free markets in this case if it means American midwestern farmers can become energy barons while the Saudi’s end up poor.
As far as this nanny state Rudy smoking ban, trans fat ban stuff is concerned, we have already had this conversation after pissant posted his hit piece trying to convince people that Rudy is a nanny stater.
Again, don’t get me wrong. If you want to vote against Rudy because he is a pro abortion, gun grabbing public serpent and make your case on this forum to persuade others to follow you, than God bless you. That’s what this forum and the free exchange of ideas is all about.
However, if you try to spread false information and try to convince people that Rudy is in favor of draconian health initiatives to coerce people to do the right thing and save the state money on Medicaid and Medicare expenses, you are wrong.
I hope you and everyone else will take my word for it. I don’t feel like posting the orgy of information to prove that Rudy is not a nanny stater again.
But if somebody calls Shenanigans, I will have to.
