re....Yes- that's how we got Shrub. A bought and paid for liar unmasks himself Bush Reneges on Vow To Cut CO2 from Power Plants Bush Reverses Vow to Curb Gas Tied to Global Warming The New York Times, March 14, 2001 Under strong pressure from conservative Republicans and industry groups, President Bush reversed a campaign pledge today and said his administration would not seek to regulate power plants' emissions of carbon dioxide, a gas that many scientists say is a key contributor to global warming. The decision left environmental groups and some Congressional Democrats angered at what they called a major betrayal. But the White House said a cabinet-level review had concluded that Mr. Bush's original promise had been a mistake inconsistent with the broader goal of increasing domestic energy production. SALMON, Idaho (Reuters) - Montana declared a state of emergency on Sunday to battle more than a dozen wildfires as blazes, fueled by drought and winds, also raged in Oregon, Idaho and the California wine region north of San Francisco.

<<<< I don't care who's "exciting". That's for idiots>>> Clearly the "excitement" for Obama is what propelled him past Hillary and into the White House. Exciting for a presidential candidate is a good thing and it seems to me - given your desires - that it would be way advantageous to have the excitement behind a democratic candidate than a republican candidate. <<<<Are you suggesting anything that is a remedy for stupid? No>>> Well, yes I have been suggesting a remedy; find someone in the democrat party that can bring some excitement to the race - someone who gives us a reason to get out and vote. Someone other than "more of the same". I mean the democrat party is looking like the party of the stale and old. I don't think stale and old is going to win the election. Certainly is no reason for people to get "excited" like they did for Obama. The party needs a Reagan or a TR or and FDR that can bring the huge issues of the day to the American people so they can have a cause to fight for - GW for instance! .............Pragmatic issues such as scaring about SC nominees will get you a few votes, but not votes from the masses. Not the votes to win - unless of course the republicans fail to pick a sane candidate themselves.
