Don’t leave us hanging? How did he answer???
By the way, thanks and congrats....I’ve wanted someone to ask SOME candidate that very question. I’m looking for someone to take the fight to the ecoloons and have long said I’ll go charging into battle behind the first pol who does.
Inhofe looks promising.

I had been waiting awhile for the chance too. For that event I arrived early and got a front row seat with a friend of mine; I was the first person he called on in the Q&A session. The last thing I expected was to show up in Human Events two weeks later...imagine my surprise when, reading the article, I realized the anonymous person being quoted was me, using (mostly) my exact words and phrasing!
Don’t leave us hanging? How did he answer???
Well, he didn't go quite as far as I would have liked (I was trying to get him to make national news). But he gave the best answer any candidate has given this year. And for the first 45 seconds or so I thought he might take the bait; my friend said she thought he was "really thinking about it", especially after the crowd (200+) loudly applauded my question. His mouth was kind of on auto pilot for that time; I think maybe he realized his advisors would kill him if he went as far as I wanted him to (using the words "hoax" and "scam", which Human Events left out of my quote).
When he got around to the meat of the question, he talked about being resentful of "scientific experts like Al Gore" (sarcasm was his) telling us the "debate is over" and that we need to just do what they tell us to do. He stated that we don't really know where we're at in terms of the natural climate cycles, we don't know what the human component is if anything, we don't know the intended and unintended consequences of proposed "remedies"; basically he said we don't know much of anything. He called for further research and study, and said we need to avoid doing anything precipitously that would harm the economy, and that we need to avoid doing anything unilaterally that would put us at a competitive disadvantage.
Basically he sounded like someone who very much wanted to call it a hoax and a scam, but who had decided to play it a little bit safe. His answer was the best I've heard from a candidate, and he's the guy I trust most not to cave to the idiotic anti-human Warmist cult.
Inhofe rules; he almost makes me want to move to Oklahoma.

I'll be right there with you.
By the way...do a google search for the word "ecotard" and see which (probably too-proud) Freeper is the source of the number one result...[hint: me]
