Former President Bill Clinton was in Denver, Colorado, stumping for his wife yesterday.
In a long, and interesting speech, he characterized what the U.S. and other industrialized nations need to do to combat global warming this way: "We just have to slow down our economy and cut back our greenhouse gas emissions 'cause we have to save the planet for our grandchildren."
At a time that the nation is worried about a recession is that really the characterization his wife would want him making? "Slow down our economy"?
I don't really think there's much debate that, at least initially, a full commitment to reduce greenhouse gases would slow down the economy….So was this a moment of candor?
He went on to say that his the U.S. -- and those countries that have committed to reducing greenhouse gases -- could ultimately increase jobs and raise wages with a good energy plan..
So there was something of a contradiction there.

Which of the Democratic coalition of tribes will have to sacrifice?
I despise these these elitist dirtbags with every fiber of my body. Hell isnt hot enough for them.
Dang it! I’m sorry. I did do a search. I couldn’t believe it wasn’t posted already, so I did another search.
I searched: “Bill Clinton Global Warming”
sorry. That’s why I don’t post new threads.
Go Bill Go!
None.
The only sacrifice will be made by "the rich", business owners, and conservatives.
We will redistribute income so "the poor" will not lose anything, and in fact will gain.
Am I the only one that is beginning to feel a tad bit sorry for the scumbag?

“We Just Have to Slow Down Our Economy”
Either he has been drinking or else he has a gun!
On using the genetic search: less is more. Four words are too many.
Yes.
That’s OK. Some of us missed it the first two times and are glad we got another chance.
