Palin and Fred Thompson are the only two Republicans in the arena of being Presidential contenders, who have done so from the start. Other Republicans all over the nation, such as Romney and Newt and I think Pawlenty (though I may be remembering incorrectly) either buy into the hoax because they're too ignorant in basic geology and natural science to battle the hoax with confidence born of knowledge, or because they fear that not enough Americans don't regard it with contempt because they intrinsically know in their hearts that it's a hoax. But many, if not most Americans DO, and it won't be long before most Americans WILL.
I predict that once gutsy Republicans like Palin (I know there have been a few others, too, but WAY too few) have braved the risk of going against what most politicians mistakenly perceive as "conventional knowledge" and cleared the path, making it more acceptable for politicians to face up and stand down the environmental extremists, weasels like Romney, who most certainly believed in man-caused global warming during the 2008 primaries (Thompson was the only candidate who was outspoken in his contempt for the whole hoax), will safely follow suit. Such politicians as Newt and Romney will say they were being pragmatic in their assessment that most of America believed the hoax and that they had to "respect" that sentiment. The older I get, the more I realize that pragmatism is often conservative principle's most dangerous enemy.
I say screw ANY Republican candidate who doesn't fully and openly reject the global warming powergrab hoax. It should be part of the platform, part of the thing that makes voting Republican a TRUE, GENIUNE, CONTRAST ALTERNATIVE to voting Democrat.
| "Very seriously, ladies and gentlemen, this global warming hoax, this climate change stuff borders on criminal corruption, criminal political corruption. You think of all of the billions that have been spent ostensibly to protect things and people from global warming, and it's all been a scam, nothing more than a huge transfer of wealth. It is a giant scam. It is political corruption, what has happened. It's funny to listen to these people make fools of themselves and I love doing it, and it's not very hard. Just play their own words. I just got a note from a good friend: "Way to go, Rush, very smooth. You made 'em look foolish." I replied: "Easy. They are." But they're also dangerous. This is political criminal corruption, what is happening here, and just as they have ensnared the media to provide all kinds of propaganda for all the other political corruption that comes from liberalism, the Democrat Party, et al, they're doing it in global warming as well. Think of the money that need not have been spent on any of this. It's getting crazier and crazier."
