I'm hooked. Old Bush had a bad war in Iraq and dubya scored well with his Dad by nailing the coonskin to the barn door. He needed to prove he was doing better than jeb sucker jerk. With Mr Jeb as Prasiden of Yewnitedstets what slamdunk will dubya git?
Although this quote is from a ‘Liberal’ Economist, Paul Krugman, (a Nobel prize winner tho’), and is primarily related to an economic concept, it illustrates clearly Republican general debate tactics on most topics. From example, from :-
The Tweeting Dead - NYTimes.com
The key thing about how the conservative movement handles debate is that it never gives up an argument, no matter how often and how thoroughly it has been refuted. Oh, there will be more sophisticated arguments made too; but the zombie lies will be rolled out again and again, with little or no pushback from the “respectable” wing of the movement.
Sound familiar in their anti-AGW doubt campaign?![]()

This second link is primarily about the scientific attitudes of some of the Republican Presidential contenders (gasps in amazement) and again features AGW attitudes:-

Now, we don’t know who will win next year’s presidential election. But the odds are that one of these years the world’s greatest nation will find itself ruled by a party that is aggressively anti-science, indeed anti-knowledge. And, in a time of severe challenges — environmental, economic, and more — that’s a terrifying prospect.
If you have courage, you should read all of the this link![]()
Denial is a defense mechanism in which a person is faced with a fact that is too uncomfortable to accept and rejects it instead, insisting that it is not true despite what may be overwhelming evidence.
Denial is a mechanism of the immature mind, because it conflicts with the ability to learn from and cope with reality.
To be fair toProf Phuctipharno.....sorry...........Clippo ....the video was put up by BvL as an illustration of the depths of bad taste to which Clippo's green fellow travellers will stoop. IIRC Clippo merely relishes the idea of a massive cull of the World's human population as long as he's not one of the victims.

There are some who apprehend human suffering from rapid change in environment. Some think that Iran could rapidly alter the pulse rate of people in the Middle East using fast proton release. Never believe a video.

Clippo complaint #1?
That I return, with sardonic humour, the abusive ridicule which you direct at everyone who speaks out against the pseudo science of AGW? Sow the wind Clippo...sow the wind....
Clippo complaint #2?
That I point out something that was wrongly attributed to you?
Clippo complaint #3?
That I point out a disgusting comment you made in another thread? I could provide a link but, frankly, I can't be bothered wasting my time looking for it.
