I don’t know. It seems our state has bought hook, line and sinker into the global warming, climate change (whatever gobbledygook they’re calling it now). Me thinks the air in Tallahassee is the problem.

Methinks the air between the Governor's ears is the problem!

“Crist will sign the orders at a two-day climate change summit he is hosting in Miami beginning Thursday. The summit will feature speeches by California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger and environmental activists Robert Kennedy Jr. and Theodore Roosevelt IV.”

Somehow this will involve carbon credit trading, if you dig past the easier stuff.

Robert Kennedy Jr. flacks for carbon credit trading, often writing about it.

“said Susan Glickman, a consultant for the National Resources Defense Council and other environmental groups.”

NRDC often works as the “environmental” front for the carbon trading interests.

In the first place, I’m glad I didn’t vote for this A-Hole.

In the second place, since vehicle inspections were done away with years ago, how in the hell is this to be enforced?

Republicans still hold the Florida House and Senate. I guess I’m going to have to send off messages to my Florida senate and house critters to send a message to Crist.

STOP trying to fix what ain’t broken!

On a local talk radio program this morning, they were briefly commenting on this. The MAIN host says something like this, ‘Well, we’ve been neglecting this for the past 8 years.’ (Insinuating Jeb Bush) WIOD 610—the HURRICANE news channel that is so CONSERVATIVE. Yeah right.

Can the Legislature override and Executive Order, or, create legislation defeating the Executive Order?

I think many of these “Republicans” are Trojan horses, having infiltrated the party and now plotting their agenda incrementally, slowing destroying traditional government and aiding their corrupt cronies at the same time. Those that aren’t infiltrators and support this crappola are just plain stupid.

A new epidemic of PTDs (Politically transmitted diseases!)

When are conservatives going to cast off RINOism? Oh well, I am guilty too.

RINO = DEMOCRAT infil-traitor

Do we ever learn? Maybe we need a new party other than the democrat party.

I purposefully did not capitalize the word democrat.

THey are going north to Georgia and Alabama where gas prices will soon be 20-40 cents a gallon cheaper than the People's Republic of Floriduh.
