FR is overloaded with malcontents

FR is a place where people exchange opinions, and we are all entitled to one. The people you label as malcontents may have the same opinion about you.

Global warming according to many on FR is a scam, and it is according to my city's local weatherman it is as well. IMHO it is now much more understandable why Sarah Palin and John McCain were so aligned.

She is technically correct. As long as she doesn’t blame human emitted CO2 for it, that is.

No, she isn't. Not technically, nor generally.

I don’t believe in the Al gore global warming and this is not what gov. Palin is saying.

Go read the article. She didn't mention Al Gore specifically, but in her testimony she was all over the road in a politically equivocal mish-mash of some "technically correct" points along with several of the scientifically discredited doctrinaire assertions of the global warming/climate change "religionists".

Palin may actually understand the issue, and simply felt it necessary to play the political games of equivocation and accommodation in order to get help for her state. I can understand and accept that. However, her performance was sloppy, and the words she actually used inaccurate and ill-chosen.

As Kent C noted in post #40 "The earth is not warming but in the last decade it’s cooling and the longer term span that the ecowackos assert, is based on data and computer models that were cooked and fit to match their dreams. ... Palin should know this and the fact that she doesn’t indicates an absense of information that is necessary to defeat the Left on this issue. When you buy the premise, they’ve got you. No amount of ‘agreement’ with their principles matter."

there are people on this thread who wern’t for Gov. Palin to begin with.

And I'm not one of them.

FR is overloaded with malcontents

It's also loaded with people who let their personal enthusiasm for "their" candidate, etc. switch-off or override their ability to think and analyze things for themselves.
