Trying to figure out why people are upset...
This was an interview specifically on one topic, the environment.
He admits it’s not his number one issue.
He doesn’t buy into anthropogenic GW.
He’s is concerned more about real issues, for example coastal erosion, than the political hand waiving about rising seas.
He thinks the state can relate better than the EPA.
He thinks taking advantage of natural gas by driving new energy opportunities, and by removing the barriers to export will allow Texas to lead energy for generations to come is a smart plan.
He thinks politicians do better work when they spend less time campaigning and have to live under the same rules they created.
He isn’t afraid to work in the private sector and not be a career politician.
He states that there are some topics for which compromise is not an option. (I’d like to know what those are, but I appreciate the concept.)
He admits openly that his name is an advantage but he’s doing his best to be his own man.
I know a lot of people are simply upset about another Bush running for office.
I guess I just don’t understand the vitriol.
I didn’t see much here to get all up in arms about...
*** Give me a moment to grab my flack jacket, because I’m sure I’m about to get pummeled ***
There is some “groupthink” on FR...you think?
Where in the H*ll did he EVER say he didn't believe in AGW?
ALL of his statements imply he does indeed believe the lie of AGW.
His pathetic leave it up to the experts shows his duplicitous nature.
The entire Bush family is nothing but a bunch of rabid elite Statists.
Your post looks like the B.S. that the GOPe or Karl Rove would push.
Whether he believes global warming is anthropogenic or not is irrelevant. He believes in global warming itself, which makes him an idiot...or, more likely, afraid to go against the popular mythology.
