The GOP is going to be in the minority for a long, long time.
And it is a thing of beauty to behold.

Klingon Penis: And it is a thing of beauty to behold.

no, it's not really. It's good to see the skidmarks who currently call themselves Republican in a hole pulling the dirt in over themselves, but we need a legitimate opposition party or else we're still in for a lot of trouble.

The way they are failing now is actually even worse than when they were in charge, they are letting down America completely.

Agreed. I really, really farking want to see an opposition party that's not batshiat crazy. You know, some people we can disagree with politically, but who argue with things like statistics, science, some semblance of respect for logic. None of this "common wisdom" bullshiat that runs completely counter to everything we understand scientifically and economically...

I'm increasingly convinced that the GOP has been taken over by live-action Loki trolls who have escaped from the internet, and that their speeches and platform are written by rogue /b/-tards.
It's the only explanation that makes any sense.

Mordant: opposition party

Horse hockey.

The right has been running rampant for the last few decades and the Dems have been solid centrist in comparison. For all the talk of Obama being a Commie fag junkie (which is, of course, code for "niggra"), he's perhaps a smidge to the left of the Clintons.

A true opposition party to what's been going on going on in America in recent history would've been the Dems, if they'd had the sack for it. They were right, after all, on almost everything - gay rights, the environment, the wars, the economy, etc. etc.

How hard is it to be right when you have a pack of retards braying out the exact wrong answer every time a question comes up ? All you have to do is pay attention. The point is that with unchallenged power the Dems will get sloppy and become a problem. They need someone to keep them honest... preferably someone whose knuckles don't drag on the ground.

Hah, I moved out long before either of them got into office. I moved to a civilized place, full of respectable people doing respectable things, with no hint of silliness or stupidity.

we need the republicans of the 50's for that. their policies weren't ones I agreed with, but they kept the other side in line, and things overall in balance

Republicans. Is there anything they can't do?

Run a country in a sensible manner?

I saw his interview this morning and could not believe that he came off like the Martin Short SNL character.

It was painful to watch. This is the GOP alternative? Joe The Plumber can do this well.

You obviously haven't seen many Joe the Plumber interviews. He actually can't do this well.

Maybe staying out of the media would be a good idea until the GOP has something to offer above an 8th grade Jr Varsity team stance.

That would require them to have a level of awareness greater than an 8th grade Jr Varsity team.

The Republicans got pummelled during the last cycle, and they're still trying to figure out why. The possibility that everything they touched over the last eight years turned to shiat has never occurred to them.

Well obviously that's the Democrats' fault. They planted the seeds of failure during the Clinton administration.

*coughs*

Cewley: boner.

I especially like how he ridicules the idea that carbon dioxide is a carcinogen. You go John, you tell those scientists... wait, no one has claimed that carbon dioxide is a carcinogen? Oh. Well, you keep speaking truth to power, Boehner.

The future is now.

Bullshiat and excuses aside the real GOP position is to kick the problem down the road until it's someone else's problem. That covers a pretty large percentage of their platform.

You can't run away from dummies, there ain't no place that far. I know this is true because Aerosmith told me. (paraphrased)

Marcus Aurelius:

Almost looks like there is some pattern to the rise in CO2 levels. Mankind's been manipulating those levels every 100-150 thousand years.

On a long enough timeline, the survival rate for everyone drops to zero.

Wolf Blitzer is a Substitute Teacher: truth to power

I mean, human-caused global warming is a hoax, isn't it? Despite the mountains of evidence, solid agreement in the scientific community and in the political world, it's just a cabal of former Al Gore staffers setting the stage for World Takeover.

Alex Jones said so.

I hardly even knew her!

You know, I'm really getting tired of these headlines that misrepresent what someone actually says. Cause really, there's no way he would say something that stupid on live televis-....seriously?

Unfortunately, we don't have Dick Nixon to kick around anymore.

its a good thing the world is entirely in black and white, because yes, cows fart creating carbon dioxide, and therefore, we can pump out as much of the stuff as we can, and do no damage, because if we dont have huge factories pumping the shiat out at prodigal rates, the cows are destroying the ozone layer anyways. not us.

im gonna go smoke my bong and get more 'crazy liberal ideas' now...

Wolf Blitzer is a Substitute Teacher: Sarcasm is hard to determine in writing,

Yes, I could have done the old rather tacky /sarcasm aside after my post, but anyone who could possibly take that sentiment seriously is pretty damn gullible.

Which brings me to the "skeptic" mindset. The US is the only country that isn't on board with what the scientific community is saying. Hope and Change. There is some money in the Stimulus Bill for research.

For a pure dose of stupid, watch the entire interview. Boehner could not be more out of touch and posses less ideas than he did today

The GOP: Pushing decades-old ideas that never worked in the first place and still work today. Keep up the nice work kids.

get ready for some SCIENCE


sea definitely appears to be rising. then again, are there simply more boats displacing water? I am serious- the earth's population went from 1.5 billion around WW2 to currently 7+ billion I believe. That's a lot of oil tankers, food, fishing vessels, supplies, etc.


Probably losing arctic ice


antarctic ice probably static. or a slight gain. and there is more ice overall down there. much more. does that make up for the loss in the north?


I don't think this means anything at all. There are simply more inhabited places and more attention is paid to every little "disaster."




OK, glaciers are moving around. This is nothing new.

/dropped em cuz they're hot

Teehee, his last name is boner.

I know!

It's like how scientists are all like "Drink a glass of red wine for your health" and then they're all like "STOP! YOU'LL DIE!" when I chug several bottles of the stuff.

Make up your minds pointy-headed pansies!

It really is kind of funny that at the core of the GOP platform is this attempt to fill the populace with enough fatalism to leave rich guys alone.

"Environment? the environment's farked no matter what we do."

"Minimum wage? We're just gonna raise prices and fire people."

"Universal Health Care? we'll still figure out how to rape you, and you're gonna be getting shiattier care to boot!"

"Kicking the shiat out of people and giving rich people tax cuts are really the only damn things we can accomplish on this shiatty ol' ball of mud."

It's all they are capable of, sadly. I, too, would like to argue with a sane, rational person who is operating from the same set of base facts as I am, yet has a different take on the world. That is interesting, informative, and you learn something even if you still don't agree. With this kind of person, compromise is possible and desired.

What we have instead are completely out to lunch folks who are the verbal and intellectual equivalents of poo-flinging monkeys, without the dignity and panache.

technicolor-misfit: It really is kind of funny that at the core of the GOP platform is this attempt to fill the populace with enough fatalism...

My most stabby was:

"Cut off war funding? I'll just leave the troops there to die."

i like the charts that appear to show 50,000-year cycles and the people who believe that it just happens that the past hundred years or so falls at the edge of one of those cycles. seems like a pretty big coincidence, especially when you consider how different the world looks from what it looked like just a couple of hundred years ago. i'm no scientist, so i'll defer to them when it comes to science.

of course, people also believe that the world is going to end in 2012 so whatever.

rnld: For a pure dose of stupid, watch the entire interview. Boehner could not be more out of touch and posses less ideas than he did today

Summary: "It's not harmful. And don't raise taxes. And India and China need to cooperate. But it is an issue. Maybe we'll have a plan later."

Pretty incoherent.

Sadly, the GOP has not handled science properly since Ike.

But that was beyond stupid. It was like imagining Sarah Palin or Ashton Kutcher on Jeopardy.

Average global temperature has risen 1 degree F the last century. The average global temperature is 54 degrees. 10,000 years ago, my property was under a block of ice 2,000 feet thick. CO2 levels rise with temperature after ice ages end, as the accumulated shiat that has been frozen for the past 100,000 years begins to decay.

But I'm really looking forward to paying higher rates for electricity, because I dare not question the wisdom of scientists with data that can only be guessed, extrapolated, or plucked out of the thin 300ppm CO2 filled air.

Subby: they ARE researching an additive to minimize the impacts of cowfarts
