Kibbler: I remember 2004 so well, when a large majority of people in this country had that "accept what I say or DIE YOU FARKING TRAITOR SCUM" derpality.

ah, i remember that well. it was also when it became popular to mock the Purple Heart award. Oh GOP, such classy farktards.

Now, now... They have in fact studied all the blogs. Blogs are truth.

They have a reality all their own where scientists are all in on the UN 21 conspiracy. All of them!

And how could you fault them for that?

It's wonderful. Science works so long as it agrees with me, otherwise it's big Government conspiracy.

Wake up, sheeple! The scientific community has no more checks on it than that jerk who doesn't want me to be king of my club!

Well, if you don't mind... That might be something to talk about.

Chuckufarlie (see the pattern there? might be abrasive up front, and his own admitted posting everywhere might just be ADD,but I'll go back to the people who work in the field.

He'll always be there in on form or another.

But if you go back to the folks who might know about climate change, they are sort of saying the same thing.

That's the liberal's argument to the very word regarding their philosophy on control. Appeal to the emotional base, win votes!

You know what I'm sick of Jon Stewart and that freaking sign. Nobody know that Hitler was HITLER when he came to power, and he wasn't voted in by the German people he was put there by the politicians that thought they could control him.

Now now, if you look at their press release (here - scroll down to 6. Why should I believe The Heartland Institute?) they clearly make it a point to mention that they have more than 15 years of experience in climate change.

15 years! Stick that up your "scientists" and smoke it. Clearly they are the expertier experts than anyone else.

Rep. F. James Sensenbrenner Jr. (R-Wis.), scheduled to headline the Heartland Institute's annual conclave of climate-change skeptics this month, said through a spokeswoman that he "will not participate in the upcoming climate-change conference if the Heartland Institute decides to continue this ad campaign."

Oh, dandy, my gerrymandered new Rep decided that would hurt him. fark you Sensenbrenner. Have a stroke already.

The Heartland Institute made news earlier this year when internal documents appeared on liberal Web sites detailing the group's funders and its strategy to promote climate-change skepticism to schoolchildren. Climate scientist Peter Gleick of the Pacific Institute for Studies in Development, Environment and Security admitted to duping the group into sending him the documents.

Haha! Why do they not go slink off into that good night?

I live in a conservative area. At least I could have Tammy Baldwin as a Rep and Andy Jorgensen as a state Assemblyman. Now I have nothing but the worst of Republicans "representing" me. And Andy will probably lose because of the gerrymandering. The only plus is I have a slightly less objectionable righty representing me in the state Senate. I don't have the Dune Worm Fitzgerald anymore.

Did anyone of those people actually even come out in support of man made global warming?


You don't read the news much, do you. This is the week where we learned (as part of the Obama strategy for re-election by releasing documents obtained during the bin Laden operation) that a) KeithOlbermann isn't a terrorist but is #1 with terrorists and b) al Qaeda wanted the news to make Global Warming more of a threat than al Qaeda in the hopes that they would be bombed less. Apparently al Qaeda, in addition to feeling threatened by AGW, believes Fox News is controlled by the government (i.e. Obama).

He beats Neumann and Hovde's respective acts of being part of the problem and now advertising themselves as the solution to it. Although why he's running is beyond me. He's easily pulling down eight figures on the various boards and businesses he's involved with, not to mention his various state and federal pensions (should he be drawing on them). Coupled with the shift from when he was in charge it's hard to see where the upside to running is for him.

I had no clue what Hovde was running for. I have seen his shiatty ads and I hated him immediately and learned that he is nothing but a worthless financial douche. I would vote for Tommy over that cock. And he has been buying a shiatload of ads.

If Wisconsin doesn't want to get lost in the shuffle when the Senate starts dishing out pork then it would be better to elect Baldwin or Tommy. At least then we'd have someone who has been around Washington and can grab some recognition right away. It's not like electing Ron Johnson two years ago did us any favors. It seems all he's done is piss off his staff and receive a nice pension so he doesn't have to work for his father-in-law's money anymore.

So you don't remember Polar Bears being used in AIT? You do realize that everything presented about polar bears in AIT was an appeal to emotion and not scientifically related to climate change, right? You also realize that all his presentations that showed hurricane Katrina were also appeals to emotion without any scientific linkage to climate change?
