Another statement by Perry regarding GW (Oct 2007):
“”I’ve heard Al Gore talk about man-made global warming so much that I’m starting to think that his mouth is the leading source of all that supposedly deadly carbon dioxide,” Perry said.
“Virtually every day another scientist leaves the global warming bandwagon. ... But you won’t read about that in the press because they have already invested in one side of the story. I’m not saying we shouldn’t be good stewards of our environment. We should. I am just saying when politics hijack science, it quells true scientific debate and can have dire consequences for our future.”

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.
