Shorter Giuliani: "We should have won the horror movie."

I mean DCCC expenditures.

That's my question too. What is the NRCC burning all its cash on? How are NRCC expenditures different from DNCC expenditures?

When ordinary citizens can't understand how laws are made, it's time to jettison the whole process. The Founding Fathers didn't need all this falderal.

There are 6.6 billion of us on Earth but the problem isn't the number of people.

Some of us are pigging out and emitting the bulk of greenhouse gas. Like the USA that puts out 1/4 of world greenhouse gas.

Other countries are living in fine comfort with only 1/10th the per person emissions.

Yeah Detroit is making hybrids now and it'll be making plug in cars in a few years.

Why are we fighting for oil and so wasteful with the oil we have, it's because the American way of life is nonnegotiable! And if you believe that, vote Republican.

When I say we I mean domestic reserves of oil. We have enough to fuel our heavy transport and ships for decades. Light vehicles can be electrified.

Global warming is a national security threat.

Conservatives' heads are rotating at a high rate of speed as they try to convince themselves to vote for the candidate who lobbied to restore a black Roman Catholic radical socialist priest to power.

We still have a lot of oil, even if it's getting a lot more expensive. It'll still be less expensive and less polluting than CTL.

Maybe there is some justification for CTL research, but it would be very far down on the list of our vital research needs. Renewable energy should get the highest priority. Electricity generation from clean coal should be accelerated. For private vehicles, vehicle efficiency research is the top priority.

Here's more explanation of the issue. Obama said he would only support CTL if it satisfied certain conditions. Those conditions are practically impossible to achieve.

Senator Obama Yields to Grassroots Pressure, Says No to Dirty Coal-to-Liquids Fuel
http://watthead.blogspot.com/2007/06/sen ator-obama-yields-to-grassroots.html

Obama wants vehicle fuels that produce 10 percent less carbon by 2020. He supports a cap and trade system. Other candidates have more ambitious goals. Leading scientists say we have to do more. I hope Obama continues to keep an open mind and makes the tough choices when it's necessary.

Both Dodd and Richardson have far more ambitious and effective greenhouse gas proposals than Obama. Obama's proposals are far too minor and limited and won't even accomplish 1/10th of what we need.

Go to any environmentalist website or blog and look for commentary about Obama and global warming. I'm not trying to badmouth Obama, just report the facts. I hope he will learn quickly and strengthen his proposals.

Thanks for this fine summary.

This information should be repeated loudly and often until Thompson quits or gets beaten. Let no one forget that Thompson was the Watergate Stooge and eager to protect the imperial presidency at all costs. Make him defend Nixon and Watergate in prime time, over and over.
