Just the headline
I'd tell you what his plan is, but it is so deep and grand and wonderful, that even my mind can't grasp it. But don't worry, there are those here who will happily tell you how it will beat those nasty Dems!
Tuor
But, I'm still hoping...
You know me, MM, and you know that I get frustrated at times, but if a good argument can be made for why I should be patient I will gladly accept it. Can you give me a good reason why that should be the position of the administration? That global warming exists and is caused by man? I don't see any credible science to back it, and it needlessly validates the positions of the enviornmental extremists.
If one wants to say this is not a marked shift by the adminstration, I may be convinced but not mollified. I don't really care if this is a shift or not. It shouldn't be our position, regardless of if it is close to what our position has been or not.
"It appears to be the hijacking of conservatism," Rush Limbaugh charged to the nation's largest radio audience Monday after President Bush apparently flip-flopped over Global Warming. "George W. Al Gore," Limbaugh slammed, just hours after the NEW YORK TIMES headlined "Climate Changing, U.S. Says in Report."
"The TIMES revealed: "In a stark shift for the Bush administration, the United States has sent a climate report to the United Nations detailing specific and far-reaching effects that it says global warming will inflict on the American environment. "In the report, the administration for the first time mostly blames human actions for recent global warming." The report goes on to predict: A "disruption of snow-fed water supplies, more stifling heat waves and the permanent disappearance of Rocky Mountain meadows and coastal marshes."
"What's left of the conservative agenda that has not been offered up to democrats?" questioned Limbaugh, who has been an outspoken critic of the Global Warming theory.
This is the most strident criticism of the Bush Administration I've heard from Limbaugh to date and I must say I agree with Rush 100%!!! I'm not sure who Dubyuh's been listening to, but he needs to realize the damage he's doing to the support of those who would walk over hot coals to see Dubyuh successfully enact his Agenda...not the RATS!!

Yes, a couple of months ago the bots were praising Rush to high heaven. Now that he's shown a bit of a backbone they are mad at him. I guess he's not a party hack after all. I have a newfound respect for Rush. He CAN think for himself after all.
It's one thing to read the NYT to Rush's 13M (and falling?) listeners. It's another thing to present it as Gospel, rather than as an interpretation, possibly--no, likely---flawed, of the underlying report.
This knee-jerk whining is getting to me. I am sorry to see so many conservative media (Rush, Drudge, Newsmax, WND) go hyper in the face of falling ratings.
it is merely a matter of degree between one who believes the state has the authority to take or issue SOME rights, and one who believes the state has the authority to take or issue ALL or MOST rights. this is the choice you are faced with regarding the dems and repubs. think about it.
they both agree the state has the authority to take or issue some rights, they disagree only on which ones.
individual liberty believes that rights exist as a part of being man, or only from man himself, or God, but that they exist in man as man is.
The W @$$-kissers make me sick.
It was the same way with his dad.
When he did the "let's stop the war and go home one hour before total victory and totally ridding the world of Saddam Hussein," in 1991, I was livid.
When I went nuts in '92 with the older Bush going back on "Read My Lips", many said, "hey, he's just going for the middle, you watch."
Right.
W thinks just because of the 'cut of his jib' or some other east coast crap, that conservatives are going to like what he does enough to reelect him.
Man, he is wrong.
Just as, you will recall, X41 was wrong.
W butt-kissers: Wake up and bash W on one of your "Pray for W" threads.
Say something like, "Pray for W so that he will pull his head out of his a$$ and start acting a little more conservative than Al Gore, for a change."
Then maybe the White House mole who is assigned to follow the FR website would tell W that he is, finally, down to alienting the last one hundred nonsenile W voters in the United States.
How's that leather taste?!

It must be as it is far too complex for my advanced intellect! :^)
