Climate Change May Be Ruin Of Perry Campaign (Mega Walloping Barf Alert!!!)
IBD Editorials ^ | August 22, 2011 | Left wing lunatic RICHARD COHEN

Posted on 08/22/2011 4:22:30 PM PDT by Kaslin

Whatever global warming might or might not have done to polar bears, it has put Rick Perry's presidential candidacy at risk.

The Texas governor clings to an ice flow of diminishing credibility, emerging in just about a week's time as intellectually unqualified to be president. He engaged in a brief dialogue with a child about evolution and came out the loser. Perry said there are some gaps in the theory. If so, he is one.

Maybe more important, Perry waxed wrongly on global warming. He rejected the notion that it is at least partially a product of industrialization, asserting that "a substantial number of scientists have manipulated data" to make it appear that mankind — our cars, trains, automobiles, not to mention China's belching steel mills — is the culprit.

He said that an increasing number of scientists have challenged this notion and that, in conclusion, he stood with them — whoever they might be. In Appleton, Wis., Sen. Joe McCarthy's skeleton rattled a bit.

The late and hardly lamented demagogue pioneered the political use of the concocted statistic. In his case, it was communists and they were, literally, everywhere. There were some, of course, just as there are some scientists who are global warming skeptics, but these few — about 2% of climate researchers — could hold their annual meeting in a phone booth, if there are any left. (Perhaps 2% of scientists think there are.)

Global warming happens naturally.

Global cooling happens naturally.

THe sun has very many cycles which typically drive our warming and cooling cycle. Man’s contribution to global warmin (or cooling) is Statistically insignificant. On the order of 0.04%

intellectually unqualified to be president

I think about now we've all had a bellyfull of the "intellectually qualified" President Hussein and the other faculty lounge Marxist intellectuals he surrounds himself with.

Correction -— > They do not like “second hand smoke”, so they do NOT like attacks even in their names against other enemies, it breathes in their neck of woods too close and it upsets them. But if it is to join a bunch of savage Che Gevaras or Islamofascists who do it “culturaly”, it is ok.

Global warming will erase your hard drive. Not the data, but your actual hard drive! Not only that, but it will scramble any disks that are even close to your computer. It will recalibrate your refrigerator's coolness setting so all your ice cream goes melty. It will demagnetize the strips on all your credit cards, screw up the tracking on your television and use subspace field harmonics to scratch any CD's you try to play.

It will give your ex-girlfriend your new phone number. It will mix Kool-aid into your fishtank. It will drink all your beer and leave its socks out on the coffee table when there's company coming over. It will put a dead kitten in the back pocket of your good suit pants and hide your car keys when you are late for work.

Global warming will make you fall in love with a penguin. It will give you nightmares about circus midgets. It will pour sugar in your gas tank and shave off both your eyebrows while dating your girlfriend behind your back and billing the dinner and hotel room to your Discover card.

It will seduce your grandmother. It does not matter if she is dead, such is the power of Global warming, it reaches out beyond the grave to sully those things we hold most dear.

It moves your car randomly around parking lots so you can't find it. It will kick your dog. It will leave libidinous messages on your boss's voice mail in your voice! It is insidious and subtle. It is dangerous and terrifying to behold. It is also a rather interesting shade of mauve.

Global warming will give you Dutch Elm disease. It will leave the toilet seat up. It will make a batch of Methanphedime in your bathtub and then leave bacon cooking on the stove while it goes out to chase gradeschoolers with your new snowblower.

Listen to me. Global warming does not exist.

It cannot do anything to you. But I can. I am sending this message to everyone in the world. Tell your friends, tell your family. If anyone else bothers me with fearmongering concerning Global warming, I will turn hating them into a religion. I will do things to them that would make a horsehead in your bed look like Easter Sunday brunch.

I would have to question that. Maybe a few thousand.
No doubt the radical AGW moon bats voted for him, but they are brain dead libs, anyway.
I do not think the AGW scam had much effect on the election.

They only say the right is not qualified because they have behind them a gazillion foreigners and terrorists approving them saying that, while those same terrorists know we know better and make fun of liberals all the time.

Liberals have had their brains crushed in school and with drugs or something.

Aha---I knew Perry looked familiar---he's the "Missing Link."

All the "Missing Link" needs is a cowboy hat, boots,
and a six-shooter............et, voila.....Ricky Perry.

Those same voters would pull the lever for a hairy turd if it spoke to them about globull warming and allowed them to abort children as a form of birth control. Those millions are the lost cause of American politics.

LOL these clowns don’t even listen to their boy Carville.

It IS the economy.

The economy sucks.

There’s minimal chance it will improve by election day, and it may well get worse.

Baraq is toast.

When you listen to the left, breathing the fumes of Mount Vesuvius is healthy, but legitimately attempting to filter the fumes and protect from the flames in a shelter is destruction of the environment.

I tell you what hurts “evolution”: ABORTION

In the words of liberals, you have to butcher animals and subject people to malaria, turning them into sicle cell anemic sick individuals in order to “evolve”.

THey have hijacked the word evolution to fit their agenda of hiding their cowardly and thus callous, selfish and brutal mindset of welfarites without a wish for conscious or anything to defend. RINOs have taken a liking to this.

Base on what we know from former commies, intelligence intercepts, and the recently opened files of Comintern, they were literally everywhere.

IBD is filled with communists trying to draw a wedge against anything for any reason.

The drugs and hallucigenic methods of stupid articles like these must keep going.

Boy, this is rich... an idiot who doesn't know how to spell "ice floe" presumes to lecture us on the environment. Go pound sand, Cohen.

This guy must be insane. Nobody in their right mind believes this global warming crapola. Perry will get mega kudos for saying it out loud.

The "missing Link" was an independent man who fended for himself.

RINO Rick's a tool for both big business and his globalist masters. P3s, CFR and Agenda21 do not equate to independence -- not by a long shot.
