Gore compares offshore drilling to invasion of Iraq

In a surprise appearance at Netroots Nation — which apparently was the worst-kept secret in Austin, Texas — former Vice President Al Gore followed up a speech by Nancy Pelosi by laying out a narrative on climate change and the energy crisis that seems ready-made for the Obama campaign to download.

“If you look at the seriousness of the climate crisis, you see how it ties to the economic crisis and the national security threat that we face,” he said. “200 billion dollars are being sent overseas just from oil.”

“The idea that we can drill our way out of this is just so absurd,” he said, comparing the push for offshore oil drilling — which has gained popularity and put environmentalists on the defense — to dealing with a hangover by having another drink.

They're coming to take me away, HA HA
They're coming to take me away, HO HO HEE HEE HA HA
To the funny farm
Where life is beautiful all the time
And I'll be happy to see
Those nice, young men
In their clean, white coats
And they're coming to take me away, Ha-haaa!

No one is saying that we’re going to drill our way out of the energy situation. It’s just one leg of the stool. It’s the leg that the democraps are trying to kick out from under us.

This is a severe case of a guy who got lucky and got his 15 minutes but is trying to stretch it out to 30 minutes. Someone...anyone...please get the hook.

Algore the Hutt is a perfect example of why, once a pollitician is out of office, they should be thrown in jail or “put to sleep.” They are no longer useful human beings.

These guys are deadly serious. They fully intend to remake this country into a leftist police state and use this climate change BS to do it. They do mean business, my friends.

They will continue to get richer and more powerful, while impoverishing and enslaving the nation.

What does that even mean?
Who in their right mind talks like that?
Who even cares what Comrade Gore says about anything.

That statement is confirmation how liberalism is a mental disease.
