Wow, I am surprised you didn't send him to the Sierra Club website as well. Give him Al Gore's phone number while your at it. There are plenty of different scientific theories and you never mention any of them except the doom and gloom one. Most of global warming is all the hot air and bull shit coming out of the liberals. You here this a lot, not because it is cliche, but because it is true. Maybe Ken Pluhar of Knoxville IS trying to make an ocean out of a puddle but, it is really just a 180 of your extremist opinion on the otherside. Kyoto is stupid. Those who support it, well..., it speaks for itself. Yeah President Clinton signed it, but then refused for three years to send it to the Congress to be ratified. And while we are at it another one of those liberal lies I hear about when people talk about Kyoto is that George H. W. Bush signed the treaty. Wrong. Just more of that collective thought bull shit by the left. You talk about Rush's automatons but I tell you they don't hold a candle to the abortion and environmental activist automatons. Our side may be the evil church goers, but your side is the wackos. And it ain't just me that thinks that. Even the top democrat say's it will take a miracle for the democrats to take back the senate. Just read what Harry Reid has to say here,
http://www.washingtontimes.com/national/20050429-124430-4013r.htm
The Main quote here is "I would like to think a miracle would happen and we would pick up five seats this time,"
Keep dreaming Harry. Have you guys heard Rush's nickname for Harry? It's a take-off on Dirty Harry. Rush calls him Dinghy Harry. Cute, huh? I thought you would like it.

that letter riter mite wonta try a trip to tuvalu, witch tiz inundated. ye kin read bout it here: http://www.melbourne.indymedia.org/news/2005/01/86122.php

Paul, you are real good at pointing out the biased organizations (such as CATO), so can you fill this guy (buddy don)in about indymedia.

I sure could use some global warming here in Nashville. It's been fucking cold and raining for about a week now.

Indymedia is the stinkiest site on the web because it's full of damn dirty hippies. They are the official extremist nut-jobs of the left-wing. Rich college students with too much time on their hands.

head+sand=buried

Whether or not global warming is happening is not "hot air and bull shit" it's scientific fact. If ice caps and glaciers are receeding is not debatable. What is debatable is if we are causing these things to happen because of our actions.

Most environmentalist are not the wacko variety. They're people like me that would like to see long-term R&D and infrastructure investment by our gov't in cleaner sources of energy. If we're wrong and burning coal isn't really the cause of global warming then all we've done is wasted some money. If we're right then we could be saving the planet.

But Paul,

Rush says that global climat change is liberal hogwas so it must be so. Bunch of damned dirty liberal tree hugging hippies! Here's proof, go see for yourself!:
http://www.e-sheep.com/rusheats/

Damn gonzone, Rush just gets your panties in a knot, doesn't he? Oh yeah, I forgot. Dittos.

So you liked the link then Ron? :-)

Rush makes a dmaned good living talking trash to stupid people so I have give him credit for that. Personally I think he belongs in jail with all the other druggie lawbreakers, don't you?

Sure, lock him up. I can think of other lawbreakers as well, but we will leave it at that.

After reading this
(http://www.nature.com/news/2005/050502/full/050502-8.html)
you will see why I think the environmentalist are nuts. They now claim that for the first time since the 50's that the earth is reflecting brighter. They are saying that reducing the amounts of carbon in the air with filters on cars and smokestacks is the reason the air is cleaner. Is this good news. No way. In fact now they claim that this is going to make things worse. Yep. That's right. Because the sky is cleaner it is going to let more light and radiation through to the surface which will of course lead to worse global warming. You just can't win with environmentalist. Now they are going to start tackling the problem of clean air. I wonder how many dumbass politicians on the left are gonna fall for this garbage. I know you lefty guys in this blog will.

Are you stupid? Did you actually read the article? They're working to understand the effects of dirty air, clean air and industrial emissions on global warming. Study. Apparently the quest for knowledge is a bad thing to you.

Yeah I read it. I actually understood what I read. Spin Spin Spin. They were trying to spin good news into bad news. That keeps those research dollars (my hard earned money) pouring in. I don't appreciate you calling me stupid all the time. You can fuck off as well.

Oh you poor baby. Is a lefty bothering you again? I guess the level of your intelligence is a sensitive subject.

Research bad. Liberals bad. Rush good. Fox News good. Republicans good.

*grunt* *grunt*

You don't bother me. You're really wierd but hell, what liberal isn't. I just like getting you on the record in case you ever try to run for office. I am pretty sure with some of the things you have said and I have archived that I could nip that in the bud. If you were in charge of anything other than latrine duty then I might start being bothered.

Please get me on the "record" all you want. I'd never shy away from my opinions. Nor am I afraid of anything you could say or do. Especially since the whole of your political activity is soaking in the opinion of others and spouting off on someone else's blog. You can't even be bothered to start your own, let alone get off your butt to work for your party.

How the hell do you know what I am doing for my party? Please, tell me Mr. Omnipotent. I guess you don't soak in anyone's opinions. And please keep working for your party. Your doing great. More Republicans are getting elected all the time. With enemies like you who needs friends. Hell you supported Howard Dean. I like to say that every once in a while just to let folks know how stupid you are. Oh yeah, by the way..... Remember when this goofball was trying to get the nomination he was on TV one Sunday and I heard him talking about this interesting theory he had heard about how George Bush knew in advance of the attacks on 9/11. He said he didn't know if it was true but it sure sounded plausible and should be investigated. Well, I have heard a theory going around as well. I don't know if it's true but it sounds plausible so I am going to pull a Howard Dean and repeat it. What I am hearing is that the reason that Howard Dean sealed his Governor records for 10 years instead of the 6 that was customary for all the other governors in his pissoff little state, was because he had a McGreevey moment while governor and the gay community got wind of it. They pressured him to sign the civil union bullshit or they would go public with the accusations. He knew he wanted to be president so he needed to make sure that the records wouldn't be made public until after his reelection bid for president. Why in the world did he want to be DNC chair? Because he knows he has no fucking shot at ever being the president. Now this is just what I heard. Whether it's true or not we will not know unless he will release those records to the public. But that will be a cold day in hell. Kind of like getting John Kerry to release his military records. That lying scumbag. He did lie several times about signing the forms for this didn't he?

Oh please tell us then what you do for your party other than run your idiot mouth here.

Yes I supported Howard Dean. Proudly so. I still support him. You support our nimrod President. I'm not the one that should be embarrassed.

I send my money to the people I want to get elected. I have sent money to Mississippi in the last election cycle to help elect a Supreme Court justice. I sent my money last election cycle to help get rid of a shrimp problem they had in South Dakota. You wouldn't think a land locked state would have a shrimp problem would you? I din't send my money to Haslam because he didn't need any help. You guys did all the work for us. I did, however; vote. Like I always have. Should you also get to dictate how I spend my time. Should you be able to tell me what to do. That is what it sounds like. I also get people to think. I don't tell them what to think. I encourage them to do that themselves. If anyone is totalitarian it would be your side. And the leader stood up and said "Reporting for Duty". To be quite honest that is the hardest laugh I had during the last election cycle. And anti-war candidate saying that was just hilarious. And you don't think your side panders.

Ooooh. A campaign donation plus running your mouth in here. *golf clap*

We're winning.

Ron,

Surely even the president didn't say that Reid was "dinghy". Maybe dingy. Or, did you help write his speech?

As for Rush L., call him sometime to see how far you get beyond "ditto" before you are cut off and wonder why you are talking to dead air instead of a dead head. There is no discussion - only one way of thinking - his. There are several terms for that type of control, none of which includes "democracy."

Reid is a warn out old liberal. Let him keep running his mouth. He will really help the Republicans in the next election cycle. Now if Frist will just brush the old man to the side and get some legislation to end the nonsense by the democrats on judicial appointees he will be doing what the hell we elected him to do. The democrats/liberals don't seem to understand that they lost the last election. Too bad. They think they should still get to tell everyone how to do things and only they are smart enough to pick judicial appointments. It's the only branch of government they are in control of and they are afraid they will lose that too. Well they are correct. Folks are getting tired of 3 circuit court judges telling and entire state what to do after they have held elections and voted on referendums. They are tired of judges telling legislators what laws to write (Massachusetts). If the Republicans don't step up to the plate and do something we will find someone else to take their place that will do something.

Are all Witt's afraid of Rush? I don't need to call Rush. Hell you guys mention him much more than I think about him. If I want to hear Rush I will just listen to you guys. Ya'll are nuts, or insanely obsessed with him. That is not healthy. I am sure you guys think that Michael Moore and Al Franken are geniuses. But you sure don't ever hear me whining about them. And Al is on "all liberal" radio. Exactly what radio network are you aware of that is "all conservative"? Whine and moan and cry. That is very constructive. And while you are naming the all conservative radio network why don't you also make a number list of any lies that Rush has told in say....the last six months. Or year. Or whatever. I might as well tell you I like David Horowitz as well. Did that send you into a coma? How about Michelle Malkin. Is she bad too? How about Thomas Sowell? I love him. I think he is probably one of the most brilliant men in America. Is he bad too? I like Zell Miller. You don't. I don't even have to guess about that. He strayed off the reservation a little too far, huh?

What is Rush doing that is hurting you so bad? Saying things you don't like. Too bad. You don't like it because Conservatives have found an outlet for information that you aren't in control of. And it drives you nuts. Too bad. I don't care. Get over it. I like that you guys underestimate conservatives. That makes things easier, you do understand this don't you? Do you guys believe the crap you say about mind numb robots? If so, you are like gamblers. You are playing to lose. I would rather believe my opposition was brilliant. It makes me work a little harder. In this case it wouldn't be so, but I still approach it that way. "I don't think liberals are stupid. They are just educated beyond their intelligence." I can't take credit for that line. It is from a man far smarter man than me. I just paraphrased a little.

The main thing about your last comment Mark is that you complain because Rush does Rush' show the way Rush wants to do The Rush Limbaugh Show. Why do you have a problem with that? If he does it your way it might as well be Air America Radio. And of course then it wouldn't make any money for anybody. Which I guess is a good thing to liberals. I don't hear you bitching about Jon Stewart. Why is that? I watch Jon quite often and he is very funny. And you don't hear me complain either. How many congressman do you hear get up and talk about Jon Stewart being bad? 0. That would be 0 democrats and 0 Republicans. How many times is Rush' name brought up in the hallowed halls of Congress?

You, for some reason, don't feel that Rush is entitled to his opinion. And if he is entitled to his opinion you don't think he is entitled to share it. Why is that? Not totalitarian enough for you? Clear Channel or whoever sure doesn't mind paying him. Evidently a lot of people like to listen. The sponsors seem to be making money because they are the same commercials week after week after week. Do you really, and be honest here, think you are smarter than all 20,000,000 listeners he attracts every week.

You know snake oil salesmen in the old days were always on the move. The reason being that once people found out that drinking hocus water wouldn't cure (name-your-disease) they came a shootin'. If Rush is all you say he is there is no way that he could have lasted on the radio since 1987, and continue gaining in popularity. To believe otherwise truly is burying your head in the sand. You don't like him because he is not part of the old monopoly. The same reason you don't like FoxNews. They will not do things how you tell them to do it. So you don't like them.

How do you figure he controls people? Please explain how he does this. He says something to them that makes sense? Or he says something to them that sounds stupid and wrong? Doesn't liberal radio have the same ability? This is why I am having a hard time trying to understand why you have a problem with him. It's a wide open market out there. Does you side not know how to do things? Is that the problem? Do you want us to quit because you can't keep up? Will that make it fair? Is that what you want? If so, too bad.

And did I spell dingy wrong? I'm sorry. Didn't mean to call him a boat. I like boats. Thanks for the correction. I debated before I typed it instead of looking it up. It was quicker. Good thing your around, huh?

Try that again so the police don't get me.

"Good thing you're around, huh?"

Sorry.

Paul falls into the class of Democrat that feels that political success is determined by how much vitriol they direct towards right-wingers, not by how many elections they win. I am happy for this, because as someone who is actively involved in getting Republicans elected I can say that it makes my work much easier.

In the 2004 Presidential election, Bush beat Kerry in Knox County by 25 percentage points.
(See http://www.cnn.com/ELECTION/2004/pages/results/states/TN/P/00/county.001.html#47093)

Tell me, how effective can this blog really be when Kerry gets crushed like this?

Paul, as does Howard Dean, seem to feel that the key to getting liberals elected is for them to tell non-liberal voters that they are stupid by verbally bitch slapping them and then expecting that person will wisen-up and vote for the leftie. Is there any wonder that the appeal of liberalism is diminshing by its continued failure at the ballot box?

Why wouldn't it work for us, it worked for your side didn't it? What have Coulter, Gingrich, Limbaugh, et. al. done other than direct vitriol at left-wingers?

It worked because whether we agree with someone or not, we like to know where they stand. Republicans stand for something and proclaim it every time they open their mouths. That's why they win. On most every individual issue, when polled, the American people side with the Democratic party on those issues. Then they vote for Republicans anyway.

Jimmy Duncan has an 85-90% approval rating in his district. That's a significant number of Democrats supporting the man. Why? Because even though we disagree with him we know what he stands for and know he's honest.

So yes, when Howard Dean stands in front of a room and says what's on his mind, that's a good thing. If we could get more Democrats to do the same thing we'd start winning again.

It's a gut-check for the Democratic Party. Show some strength or move along.

So you'll excuse me if I ignore your advice and do the opposite.

Paul,

In case you didn't notice, Dean lost at the ballot box with Democratic voters.

Albert Einstein said that the definition of insanity is to do the same thing over and over again and expect different results.

By this definition, you should be committed to a mental institution. Just keep on punching people in the nose with your rhetoric and see how many converts you gain. You are wasting your time and energy with your approach and this blog, and I would like to thank you for that.

Only time will prove Dean, me and the outspoken wing of the Democratic Party right. Dean lost to old Democrats. Those are the people giving us candidates like Kerry that they think are "electable". Don't get me wrong, Kerry is a good person and would've made an excellent President but he wasn't the man to lead the party out of the desert.

What you're really afraid of is that we'll figure it out like your party did. That standing for something and effectively getting your message out is the first step to success.

Think of it this way, with the billions of dollars your party spends on think tanks, media outlets, candidate training, journalist training and electioneering in general, you still have a slim majority. As disorganized, off-message, single-issue and wimpish as we are we still got within 3%.

And again, the people still trust us on each issue and not you guys. Funny that.
