Makes you wonder how anybody, anywhere can still muster the willful ignorance to act like this guy’s a conservative.

Sadly folks on this website don’t understand politics very well. Amongst the trillions wasted world-wide by governments a couple of billion more wasted is nothing. If it gives political cover it has to be done. We need to win the war with radical Islam and we need a conservative Supreme Court.

True. But politics is the art of the possible. Cut government too much, lose votes and elections. I’ve been reading the book summarizing Ronald Reagan’s diaries. He too was accused of selling out conservatives. The Conservative Digest devoted a whole issue in 1982 to the alleged “Reagan betrayal.” He did what he had to get re-elected (60% of the vote in 1984) stay in office and focus on a strong military and defeating the Soviet Union.

Well, that’s a little bit of consolation.

True, I'll take what joy I can from the moment - lol!

He can sign the Kyoto agreement

No, he can't. Bill Clinton already signed it. What he can do is submit it to Congress for ratification, which Clinton never dared to, knowing Congress would reject it.

That, or maybe it's buying a gigantic umbrella to shade the earth when we're getting too toasty.

Now THAT is something I could see funding... the Space Elevator with counter-revolving mylar screens.

Yes, we are definitely seeing climate change, and warming on a global mean--even the so-called "deniers" admit those points--and whether or not it's caused by man is irrelevant if we deal with the effects and don't try to throw money away on reversing emissions.

Don’t even compare Reagan’s “deviations” from the party line to Bush’s. Bush’s conservative policies are the exception, not the other way around. And he’s not screwing us to win elections. If he was, his approval rating would be over 30% (unless of course, he’s just a complete idiot, which is possible). He’s sold us out at every opportunity, governed as a socialist and a globalist, and fractured the Republican party, weakening it for God knows how long.

What was even more appalling was that nearly all of congress stood up and clapped in support of this.

Where I live in the northeast we have climate change 4 times a year. All this means to me is that we are over taxed. What a waste of taxpayers dollars!

The old Nobles felt some guilt at their comparative wealth to the poverty of the peasants, so they came up with this “obligation of Nobles” in order to assuage their guilt.

This still exists today, mostly in the form of leftists, who, instead of using their own wealth, use the confiscated wealth of others to assuage their guilt about having a good lifestyle.

What is worse is that in about 18 months, we may be looking back at the Bush administration nostalgically, whether we get Hillary, Obama, Romney, or McCain. Supreme Court vacancies will either be filled by liberals like Ruth Bader Ginsburg or moderates (liberal lite) such as Sandra Day O'Connor. We will get either Romneycare or Hillarycare, effectively nationalizing one-sixth of the nation's economy. The flow of illegals will remain out of control. If Hillary or Obama win, we will pull out of Iraq and leave our allies in the same predicament we left the South Vietnamese in 35 years ago.

I am sorry to be so pessimistic, but I see no reason for optimism about the next few years.
