Romney reaffirms stance that global warming is real
Boston Globe ^ | June 4, 2011 | Matt Viser

Posted on 06/04/2011 1:30:50 AM PDT by UniqueViews

In the first town hall of his freshly announced presidential campaign, Mitt Romney yesterday reaffirmed his view that global warming is occurring and that humans are contributing to it, a position that has been rejected in recent years by many Republicans as the issue has taken on a greater partisan tinge.

"I don't speak for the scientific community, of course," Romney said. "But I believe the world's getting warmer. I can't prove that, but I believe based on what I read that the world is getting warmer. And number two, I believe that humans contribute to that . . . so I think it's important for us to reduce our emissions of pollutants and greenhouse gases that may well be significant contributors to the climate change and the global warming that you’re seeing."

I know that some on this forum are less than enthusiastic about Perry, but I hope he runs and snags the nomination. In my view, while he isn’t perfect he’s a very solid choice, sufficiently conservative on most issues and also has a reasonably good shot at beating the Resident.

I agree with you, I have the same take on Perry.

Mitt also believes that Jesus will return to Missouri. Not kidding.

Can anyone really vote for that guy?

>She consistently polls the worst...

Delusional if YOU think that any of these MSM polls are credible. Especially at this point even a real poll would lack credence, let alone the ones you seem to regurgitate.

You have to consider that despite Obama’s unpopularity, Palin is MORE unpopular, which is why right now, he beats her in most polls.

Ask a conservative why they hate Obama, and you will get a laundry list.

Ask ANYONE who hates Palin and you will get a blank stare and a shrug and a “I don’t know, I just don’t like her” idiot response.

People think they hate Palin because they are told to by the media.

And yes I know people are stupid.

I’m starting to think that Romney is going for the Democratic crossover votes, in the Republican primaries. With Obama running again, the Dem votes are up for grabs, and the IDIOT Republicans are more than happy to welcome them into their primary process by making it simply to crossover.

That they are.

Hell maybe I’m wrong, even Howard Dean thinks she has a shot, but...it’s a long uphill climb.

Remember what Rush Limbaugh said — the Dems say the reverse of what they really want.

They say “they are sooooo afraid of Palin”, because in reality they could easily beat her.

Ritt Momsey is playing RINO to the uncommitted voter, the great mmiddle mudle of AMerica that no longer exists, America is polarized. He has no audience.

The scinece goes against man made global warming. OH man may influece the climate in the large metropolitan cities, which account for a very small pe centage of our land mass.

Te climate will always change, accordig to the suns output.Romney is a RINO prositute, playing to the voters he thinnks he will get through this sleeze.

Al Gore and Mitt Romsey belong in the same chickem coupe, where roasters are prepared for the ovens of the DNC.

If Mitt McMilquetoast gets the Republican party nomination, then the Republican party is dead.

Never again will I tolerate a Bush 41, Bush 43, McLame, etc. as the nominee.

Country be damned.

I have had a lifetime of Quislings, and I have absolutely had my fill.

If Mitt McMilquetoast gets the nomination, I might as well vote for Obozo. Between the two, we have a democrat who is honest about who he is, and a democrat who is not honest about who he is. I will do it specifically to destroy the Republican party with all of the backstabbers and turncoats in it.

I'm beginning to have the opinion that it might be in the best interest of Conservatives to destroy the Republican party, and rebuild from scratch.

If McMilquetoast is the best the Republican party can do, they deserve to be exterminated.

If the country collapses, we boot Nazifornia, Taxachusetts, and New Yak out of the union, and rebuild from the ground up.

At this stage of the game Reagan's numbers were the same, in fact, his numbers were abysmal running right up to the election.

Spare me the nonsense about the polls and how bout you work to get a conservative elected and quit the hyperbole and bad-mouthing where Sarah is concerned.

You are fooling no one but yourself.

These candidates are going to slowly eliminate themselves one by one until we’re down to Palin, West, and Cain.. all of which sound pretty good to me.

I realize that this turd we have is a big turd, and it is going to take several, if not dozens of flushings to clean the toilet

It won't start getting better until the hangings start.

Hopefully this will get him out of the race early and make room for conservative candidates.
