Perry will get my vote next November!
AP writes this like it’s the first time anyone’s ever said it...lol
Awwww, me so disappointed...
You mean Perry isn’t going to play the usual “split-the-difference”, “half-a-loaf” Re-pube-lican game? He’s going to reject globull warming entirely and take a sharp stand against it?
I suppose next thing will be him refusing to pander to black audiences but rather serving them conservatism straight up?
Well, it’s going to be a long campaign. I’m sure the MSM will eventually succeed in whipping him into submission and making of him a tame cringing RINO.
I agree with Perry, except for the above. Can anyone point out where and what 'climate' has changed?
The Average Global Temperature, for instance, hasn't changed one iota.
Some of the 'weather' has moved around a bit, but that is a normal part of the weather. It isn't tied to the ground. The Jet Stream is more responsible for altering the 'pattern' of local weather.
Now if we just could send the Bush Klan and Rove to Martha's Vineyard to join their Obama buds, I'd be a very happy person. It seems the Bushes, Rove and Obama are on the same side - against us.
It’s not scientific, and it’s not a theory. It’s a scam to get money from the private sector and gubmints.
Gee this is an Associate Press article. Who would have guessed?
Can’t just report on the candidates remarks got to make it seem that he is a radical and out side the main stream.
Perry! The smart one in the GOP Primary litter!

...........Issue seen as litmus test
Some observers say it sets up a stark choice for the GOP primary voters.
“It’s going to be a litmus test or shorthand way for voters to see how the candidate thinks about not only big issues like global warming and energy rationing policies, but it’s indicative of other things as well,” Myron Ebell, director of energy and global warming policy at the Competitive Enterprise Institute, told the New York Times.
Perry, who has long been criticized by environmental groups in Texas for his anti-regulatory zeal, said some climate change advocates want to spend billions or trillions of taxpayer dollars to address the issue.
“I don’t think, from my perspective, that I want to be engaged in spending that much money on still a scientific theory that has not been proven and … is more and more being put into question,” he told the business audience in New Hampshire, which is situated in a region known for its strong environmental policies.
Calls Gore ‘false prophet’
In his book, Fed Up! Our Fight Save America from Washington, Perry claims the global warming warnings from Democrats are simply further evidence of their leadership gone too far.
“Quite frankly, when science gets hijacked by the political Left, we should all be concerned,” Perry writes.
He then takes to pummelling the self-avowed champion of global warming, former Vice Present Al Gore — the same Al Gore who Perry, when he was a Democrat in 1988, endorsed for president.
“Gore found something more satiating to his ego than the presidency,” Perry wrote. “He found a global cause and he became the prophet who could protect us from Armageddon.
“And it’s all one phony mess that is falling apart under his own weight. Al Gore is a prophet all right, a false prophet of a secular carbon cult, and now, even moderate Democrats aren’t buying it.” [end]
