When Al Gore, "Mr. Green" himself, was Vice-President, he would fly Air Force Two, a Boeing 707, from Washington D.C. to Nashville, Tennessee, on election day so he could make the roughly 100 mile round trip motorcade trip to Smith County so HE COULD VOTE!
Besides the monumental waste of taxpayer-bought aircraft fuel, the jerk's motorcade of government-fueled vehicles would tie up thousands of idling vehicles and police cars while he rode like a Roman Caesar on the interstate highways.
If he wasn't such an asshole and a hypocrite, he could have cast an absentee ballot, a tiny "carbon footprint," as a mere mortal might do.
The hipocricy of the left is truely an amazing, mind blowing thing that never fails to astound me.
What is weird is that it doesn’t surprise me either.
That makes me think: what's the total carbon footprint of a national election, people traveling to polling sites. I would love to see voting by mail for the simple reason that a stamp would function as a poll tax. And putting the ballot properly into an envelope would function as an IQ test. If you try to charge a want-it-free Democrat 42 cents they just won't vote.
