Politico features an
op-ed by Tom Delay, a "know-nothing, fact-free slop," to quote the first commenter at the site.
Frankly I was surprised to see Politico at the event, they conducted polling on the candidates.
What does this Mr. Corrupt have to say:
If ever there was a window through which to view the modern liberal soul, it is the issue of climate change. Notice, did you, that it's not global warming we debate anymore, because, after all, it still gets cold in the winter. For years, liberals warned those less enlightened of us about the dangers of global warming, without much evidence, so they just changed tactics -- no longer are people to be terrified of the Earth's temperature rising, but its falling as well!
It's the ultimate liberal "heads-I-win-tails-you-lose" argument. Summer hot? Climate change! Winter cold? Climate change!
But, like most things Democrats say, it's mostly nonsense. Climate change, like global warming, greenhouse gases, the ozone hole and the population bomb before it, is simply a variable. To the liberal mind, no matter what the problem is, the solution is more government.
<...>
This brings us to option No. 2, the liberals' preference: insincere hectoring. Democrats know they'll be crucified at the polls if they ever do what they say they want to do to the economy in the name of protecting the environment, so instead they'll move the ball a few yards here, a few yards there, giving Hollywood environmentalists enough to keep the checks coming in, but not so much that Rosie and Babs would have to give up their private planes and limousines. Because at the end of the day, the environment is just the Left's collectivist economic agenda, wrapped up in a biodegradable green bow.
