there are so many followers out there that will follow just about anyone with charismatic qualities..

A Gore? "charismatic qualities??? LMAO!

"no offence, but I'll take the advice of 99.9% of the world's scientists". Care to back that up with some facts? LMAO!! I guess that tidbit is compliments of another "fly-by-night" agency. The point you seem to completely miss is that Al Whore rants about saving the planet and all that WE can do to save it and here his ass is wasting power hand over foot. It's total hypocrisy! Do as I say, not as I do. I DON'T see Algore conserving a single thing. He's going in the opposite direction. I'm sure "we" is used to include Al Whore in the occasion too, huh?......not in his lifetime. Go ahead a jump off the cliff with all of your other mymidons.

You are factually incorrect.

99.9% of the world's scientists do not accept Anthropogenic Global Warming as fact, so you cannot 'take' them.

A more reasonable explanation as to why Al Gore's home(s) might be using 20 times as much energy as the average househould is that his principal residence is 10,000 square feet.  He also has two secondary residences.    I don't know how large YOUR princpal residence is, but Gore's is many times larger than MY principal residence!

If that fat ass child of privilege wasn't living so large, he might be using less resources.  And you want to praise him for trying to 'make a difference' by buying 'green power units' and greater than market rates?    If he realy wants to make a difference, he should try flying commercial like the rest of us oinstad of making silly ass symbolic gestures that actually distort the energy markets..  Can't you recognize rank hypocrisyn when you see it?

They are obsessed with Al Gore. They can't figure out how a guy that was cheated out of an election can still get so many democrats, independants, and moderate republicans to like and adore him! They say they don't care about Al Gore, but just LOOK at all the columns at this website just today about Al Gore. Obsession. Let's talk about Al Gore!! Let's NOT talk about the Walter Reed scandal!!!

"But please continue living in the dark ages and go ahead hating Al Gore, hating the planet and helping the arab world hate America."

This is what it really is all about itsn't it?  In your brain?  America is causing the Arab world to 'hate' it.  Conservatives 'hate' the planet.  Conservatives hate Al Gore.

It has nothing to do with energy in your mind or the scientific realities of Global Warming or Climate Change - I wish someone would please tell me why they started calling it that.

You are funny.  "...99.9% of the world's scientists over you irrational ill-informed moutbreathers)"

Now, I make a lot of typing mistakes in my posts and actually can't spell for crap.  But even giving you a million feet of lattitude here; I can't for the life of me figure out what you mean when you call me a 'moutbreathers'.  And I've been called a lot of things by the best of them.

But since you are insistent that I hate the planet I have to disagree.

Instead of hating the planet I actually like the planet and even more disgusting I like people.  I think people are a natural species on the planet and I think that people should use energy responsibly and work to prevent pollution.  I also think the United States has the best track record in cleaning up its messes than any other country on the planet.

But, the Arabs hate the United States, not for its pollution.  They hate the United States because we don't live in mud huts with zero running water; zero solid waste disposal infrastructure; zero sewage infrastructure; zero interstate highways; zero heating and cooling; zero transportation infrastructure; zero technological infrastructure and zero standard of living including enough food to eat.

They are also a little miffed that we let our women go to school; leave the house unattended; wear skimpy or silly clothes; put paint on their faces and in some cases, actually work and boss men in their jobs.

Plus we don't have a theocratic state that cuts peoples hands and heads off for inane crimes dictated by some religous writing by some nut that we argue over his 'legacy' like the Sunnis and the Shiites.

Hell of a thing, freedom.  Wouldn't you agree.

You are past boring to me BushWasRight.  You are a Space Cadet.

You seem to think the fact that Gore anticipated this scandal & purchased 108 blocks of expensive "green power" is a good thing. If a conservative hypocrite of any sort were to try buying some lame anticipatory response to a foreseeable scandal, would you feel the same way? Somehow, I doubt it...

Out here, (Southern Idaho), the libs are bitching about nuclear power and the wind turbines chopping up birds....sheesh

Can you say hit job?

I know facts aren't important to you guys when you're swift boating the "liberal enemy", but you might want to consider the fact that the source of the "press release" is not a legitimate organization. Or, the fact that despite claiming to be "non-partisan", they're part of the State Policy Network, who describes themselves as the following.

"SPN is a national network of state-based right-wing organizations in 37 states as well as prominent nationwide
right-wing organizations. Through its network SPN advances the public policy ideas of the expansive right-wing political movement on the
state and local level."

Dept. of Revenue says conservative think tank ‘not a legitimate group’

By John Rodgers, jrodgers@nashvillecitypaper.com
February 16, 2007

The
state’s Department of Revenue is refusing to respond to inquiries from
a conservative watchdog organization over a controversial tax, labeling
them “not a legitimate group.”

The Tennessee Center for Policy
Research (TCPR), who bills themselves as an “independent, nonprofit and
nonpartisan research and educational institute,” made the inquiries to
different employees of the Department of Revenue in early January
regarding the unauthorized substances tax’s budget.

A City Paper
public records request revealed inner-department e-mails about the
decision not to respond to the Tennessee Center for Policy Research or
its executive director, Drew Johnson.

The conservative
watchdog group has been very critical of the unauthorized substances
tax, or the “crack tax,” which requires drug dealers to buy stamps from
the state showing that they have paid taxes on the illicit drugs.

Of the 29 threads I counted on the front page, 9 of them were about Al Gore. 9 of 29! Now I really like this site, and really dislike Al Gore, but come on. Is there nothing else to talk about? Are we afraid of Al Gore? Please, slow down on the Al Gore postings, or perhaps you could start a seperate website dedicated to your love of hatred of Al Gore. (Now I'm even more disgusted, you've made me type Al Gore 5 times.) ((NOW 6!))

A glutton is a glutton.  Pretty hard to fight that one.

I myself, practice sloth.  As often and frequently as possible.

Why not nuclear power?

Incidentally, I recently went "shopping" for electricity.  To "feel good" about using "renewable" energy resources exclusively, my utility company wanted to charge me extra for the privilege.  (If I had my way, I would see to it that my soon-to-be residence was powered exclusively by the South Texas Nuclear Project, but we'll leave that for now.)  With my sense of economics much more attuned than my environmental sense, I skipped this "renewable" nonsense.  Why should I pay more money just to "feel good"?  Paying more money for something I can get for less does NOT make me feel good, but then, my economic sense is more attuned.

But ABCNBCCBSCNNMSNBC and KO are perfectly ligit? You never quit do you. As always you are good for a laugh.

This is the bigest scam I have ever heard of....

Here is a news flash, we had an ice age a few thousand years ago. The climate warmed up and it is getting warmer.

Guess what? after that it will get colder again!!!

This is how the planet works. It is cyclical and there is little we can do do influence it.

If we do everything that we can to stop or slow down global warming, it will only delay things by a few years.

Of corse we should not trash the planet and we should try to clean up the air but this hysterical frenzy that Al Gore and his ilk are stirring up is just a way to line someones pockets and will have a very small if any net effect on climate change.

I live in Chicago. Frome here global warming sounds pretty good...... Shorter winters, warmer summers, whats not to like.....
