Rush just had a caller who accurately decribed Bush's history regarding this issue. Bush pulled out of Kyoto due it's questionable scientific backing and said he was going to have his own study done on the issue of global warming. That is this report. Bush's report finds evidence of global warming and a rise is concentrations of man made gasses in the atmosphere, but the study repeatedly states that the connection is not verifiable and that much of the rise in temperature may be completely natural.

So why is this a flip flop?

Rush is pushing the 'what is the difference between Gore and Clinton?' What about tax cuts, ABM treaty, pulling out of Kyoto, reducing gov. intrusion of ergonomic issues, increasing the military budget, pushing for further welfare reform, limited stem cell research, etc.....

Rush has been spouting out other's ideas and claiming them as his own for years. Those of us who have contributed ideas to his old "800" number, via e-mail and web page know this all too well. No credit given. People don't like that. Apparently the intellectual pipeline to Rush has been shut off and he is left with nothing but his own inane rants.

I agree. IMHO, we'd be seeing a lot more of other issues pushed had we NOT suffered the events of 9/11 as well as the Jeffords switch. Both events forced Bush to back-burner some issues, and forced compromises elsewhere, IMHO.

We need to roll up our sleeves and get to work, IMHO.

"...the study repeatedly states that the connection is not verifiable and that much of the rise in temperature may be completely natural."

I don't see the jist of "...the study repeatedly states that the connection is not verifiable and that much of the rise in temperature may be completely natural..." being reported much, if indeed it is the pull line from the Bush Report. What I've seen is that the report accepts American-caused Global Warming as a reality when I've seen much evidence to the contrary...once you cede that point, the Left is halfway towards a big legislative win!!

"Rush is pushing the 'what is the difference between Gore and Clinton?' What about tax cuts, ABM treaty, pulling out of Kyoto, reducing gov. intrusion of ergonomic issues, increasing the military budget, pushing for further welfare reform, limited stem cell research, etc....."

Have you noticed how many of these issues--except for the military budget--we implemented pre-9/11? I wonder if this move to the Left on Global Warming is a compromise to placate the Europeans in exchange for help on the War on Terrorism...I fear Dubyuh earned so many brownie points for his admirable response to that horrific event that he thinks we on the Right will accept anything else he does and still enthusiastically support his Left-appeasing Agenda. The Right's too principled to fall for that, IMHO.
