.....Global warming is not a hoax and calling it a hoax betrays great ignorance. Global warming is the latest in a never ending list of world end catastrophies based on the latest science.....

I was hoping you were quoting someone so read your post again. It's none of my business, but are you between 20 and 40? The reason I ask is because that means you were brainwashed for at least 20 and up to 40 years by socialists. You must read articles and studies by scientists who know and understand this. If you do, you will understand that it is a hoax designed to control -- once you do, so many other things will make sense to you.

Please...I've read much of the literature pro and con. I've decided it's not a hoax. I think Romney is correct. There is global warming and man possibly contributes to it. You really need to understand that just because there are a group of scientists that support the proposition you were predisposed to believe does not mean the scientists who hold a contrary view are wrong. The consensus of the anti-global warming scientists is that the hockey stick is bogus, the data manipulated, and the conclusions not supported empirically. However, they don't make the leap to climate change denial; rather, they say the planet gets hotter, the planet gets cooler so we really cannot say the extent to which man plays a role.

I guess “brainwashed” is the right’s equivalent of the left calling someone racist. Disagree with Obama, you're a racist. Disagree with a conservative, you're brain washed. Next time you wish to challenge a point, I suggest you refrain from name calling and simply cite a reputable source. I can easily evolve (like Mitt on choice/abortion).

I am not posting links to articles supporting global warming/climate change for 2 reasons: 1.doing so here is a waste of time and 2. I don't care about global warming. What I care about is making sure that whoever is elected will NOT champion policies designed to address the issue. There is so much uncertainty concerning man's role in climate change that it would be foolish changing an entire economy to address what is quite possibly a non-problem or a problem that would be better addresses down the road with better technology and science. My problem is also calling the issue a hoax. It marginalizes the speaker causing the listener to take less seriously valid points the speaker raises.

I understand the fear that Mitt is not a conservative (as Rush pointed out); however, at some point people need to grow up and realize that there is not a conservative in the present field that will beat Obama (other than perhaps Perry if he learns how extemporaneously to articulate a coherent thought).
