He appeared in the ad's, thinking the problem was a real one, to say that even though they agreed there was a problem, they disagreed on how to deal with it.
Newt wanted to take a free market approach to it.
complete BS, Look at what he says in the vid with Pelosi.
'Our leaders'='congress'. There is no way possible this statist meant 'free-market'. Did he publicly oppose the 2007 GWB/Pelosi energy bill that mandated ethanol and banned light bulbs? Of course not!
Now he is trying to use a film very similar to Moore's 'Capitalism a Love Story' to score a few points. No 'free market' advocate would do that.
What "new data"? All the evidence necessary to conclude this was nothing other than a giant scheme to redistribute wealth and manipulate energy markets was available in the 1990s when Gore came out claiming global warming was the world’s greatest threat. Legislation proposed in 2001 gave all the details on how this scam would be accomplished.
He appeared in the ad's, thinking the problem was a real one, to say that even though they agreed there was a problem, they disagreed on how to deal with it.
He appeared in ads in 2008 long after most thinking humans knew or suspected this was a scam. Don't you see a problem with that?
Newt wanted to take a free market approach to it.
Ah, yes. The old "market based approach" like cap and trade. There was nothing market based about it.
Free market??? You have quite a bit of faith in Newt as a free market guy. Not like this other cynical freeper:
“ They aren't gaffes, He (Newt) is just not as smart as he thinks he is. He is a big government Republican who believes that being conservative means getting the government to do the job more effectively. “
