Michael Steele, the chairman of the Republican National Committee, said we live on a cooling planet.
The Republican National Committee Chairman, Michael Steele, has weighed in on climate change. In a March 6 radio appearance that is only now percolating ...
We are cooling. We are not warming. The warming you see out there, the supposed warming, and I am using my finger quotation marks here, is part of the cooling process. Greenland, which is now covered in ice, it was once called Greenland for a reason, right? Iceland, which is now green. Oh I love this. Like we know what this planet is all about. How long have we been here? How long? No very long.Mr. Steele -– the originator of the “drill baby drill” slogan that dominated last year’s Republican National Convention — appears to be aligning himself with Senator James Inhofe of Oklahoma, also a Republican, who has denounced the idea of a global warming catastrophe as “the greatest hoax ever perpetrated on the American people,” and said that many of the Obama administration’s early moves amounted to “environmental thuggery.”

Many other Republicans argue that climate change is real and needs to be addressed. Sen. John McCain, the presidential nominee last year, is one of the original architects of a Congressional cap-and-trade bill ... Jon Huntsman, the Republican governor of Utah, also favors a cap-and-trade system for limiting carbon emissions ... So does Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger of California.

Mike, you still need to go. The RNC is not served by a leader with “stopped clock” syndrome.
He got one right.
zzzzzz
soon to resign man walking....fingers crossed
Talking to the wind buddy.
You better turn up your rhetoric so someone can hear you.
This is good news. Steele has my full support as long as he’s on this side of AGW
He needs to be building the grass roots and candidates for our nominated candidates.
The primary voters will determine if our party stands for GW or not.
“Oh damn, I’ve pissed off all the conservatives by slipping a little liberalism while no one should have been looking. Better say something right-wingy and get back in their good graces.”
No. In fact, hell no. The RNC needs more hopey-changie.
He’s spot on, for a change.
I'd say it is now the second greatest hoax. The greatest hoax currently lives at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.
We have a black mad man in the white house and this bimbo is talking about something cooling. He is supposed to be doing something about electing conservatives in 2010-12.
It is not “the stopped clock”. Where did you hear that? It is the constant addiction for the media. To be adored. To have power and control over the people that beat the shiite out of you in dodgeball. These losers are getting even from high school. Who the Heck asked Pelousi to go to the prom? Reid was a chess nerd. Losers then and now.
Steele is more than right, Republicans are not ‘warming’ up to him either.
Steele must go.
Someone, please, get the hook ready to clear the stage!
Chuck Norris for President.
Either that or Ted Nugent.
Steele is the Mayor Nagin of Republicans, he’s a stain and needs to go.
At minimum, he’s learned how to make unambiguous statements. I suppose that’s a step in the right direction.
Steele’s main job is fund-raising. I would imagine he is failing at that. He needs to be replaced while we still have time to prepare for our opportunities in 2010. We cannot afford to squander the chance to mitigate the damage that Obama can do in the second half of his term.
