BUSH DISMISSES ADMINISTRATION REPORT ON 'WARMING'

Drudge ^ | Drudge

[CoolGuyVic]

"'I read the report put out by the bureaucracy,' Bush said dismissivly... "

More to come, I'm sure

[Redcloak]

"Stalled" it?! They should have s***canned it and put out a scientifically accurate report, not Clintonista propaganda. Two years into this administration, you'd think that a report that runs counter to that administration's views would be scrapped and restarted... Unless, of course, it actually does reflect that administration's views. And given that the administration hasn't quibbled with the solutions proposed for the "problem" of global warming, but rather with their magnitude, I'd say that this report "put out by the bureaucracy" does, in fact, reflect the President's views on the matter.

But I suppose that is too much to ask, and those who express concern are to be dismissed as troublemakers and placed in "the enemy camp."

Wait a minute. You switched tracks here. When has George W. Bush ever said you, or any other Conservative, is in the "enemy camp?" You sound a bit like you've had your feelings hurt, and you're blaming him.

You want him to tell you what he's doing, but if he tells you, he also tells the real enemy. I prefer that he play his cards close to the vest, and outwit the RATS as he has done time after time since he took office.

It's a pleasure to watch them squirm.

BTW, my faith is in God, not President Bush. It just helps me trust him because I know that he also has faith in the same God, and is a brother in Christ.

No, what's over the line is Dubya signing crappy legislation after crappy legislation. But you don't really care about that, now do you?

[concerned about politics]

The stay at homers can do just that but then keep their mouths shut if they don't like something.

Geeez! Hail Hiltler!

We conservatives still vote in large numbers. Without the aid of the religious right, Bush is in trouble. Gore would be your hero today.
Why keep our mouths shut because we stay at home? Who are you to dictate that we do? Because we stay home causes you to envy our positions , doesn't mean you can dictate who we must vote for in retaliation for your misery. We chose any one we want. There's nothing you can do to stop that.

I understand that losing is painful and difficult, but YOU LOST.

You can find or post NO FLIP-FLOP from Bush no matter how many meaningful lists you drag around.

Go stand over there with the liars at the NYT, where you belong.

[Redcloak]

Regarding point 5: Bush, to the best of my knowledge, has never argued that CO2 emissions aren't a problem. He has always held that they are a problem. What he has argued with is what to do about that "problem." That this makes the Rush-ism "George W. Algore" apropos doesn't seem to bother some people.

[gramho12]

Sorry - sent you a post by mistake.

[deport]

We conservatives still vote in large numbers.

Oh really? I thought you have been spouting off about how you and the church flock were just gonna sit out the elections....... Hmmmmmm. Can't make up you mind.....

Did you find a public square to pray in yet?

[OldFriend]

Most ridiculous comment by Rush is how other people are being snookered by the media accounts on Egypt sending us a warning. He was the snooker-ed on just about every issue lately......but now he's blaming everyone else for doing what he's been doing all alonge.

He is just fit to be tied that he has no inside connection to this White House.

A few weeks ago a freeper said it wouldn't be long before Rush would be praising John McCain........anyone else notice that is exactly what is happening. He actually had a caller on that didn't get on yesterday.......as if he had something earth shattering to say......and what was the caller's point. That we might as well have had John McCain for President. Seems to me that Rush agreed with the caller altho I admit I didn't pay that close attention.

[KayEyeDoubleDee]

Do you believe in global warming?

Define "global warming"

[Lee'sGhost]

That's OK. Nice dog. I have an Aussie -- great dog. You practically have to spell around her.

[RAT Patrol]

I agree, but yesterday the NYT's strummed them like a cheap guitar While that turns out to be true it is Bush himself who provided the pick. That's all my point is.

[concerned about politics]

Oh really? I thought you have been spouting off about how you and the church flock were just gonna sit out the elections....... Hmmmmmm. Can't make up you mind.....

Yes, if there is no viable canidate by 2004. You have a problem with that?

[Deb]

It's obvious you don't research, but can't you read????

The report is mandated BY TREATY. Bush couldn't "shit can" it. A report on Global Warming must be sent to the UN every five years and this one was started by the CLINTONISTAS!!

Ignoring the facts doesn't help your side. And making absurd demands of what he should and shouldn't do...makes you look stupid and a poor loser (man).

[wingnuts'nbolts]

You are right we would all be better off without the report but it was reasearched and written during the CLINTON administration. Imagine that! And who do you suppose released the report? A dem I am sure. If it was Christy she should be fired.
