Dave I guess what I don't understand is what was so bad about the Dems trying to find something for there freebies that wouldn't come back and be used against them by the Rovians. Is there something wrong about American made fanny packs? If they had been made in China it would have been on Rush's show the next day as an example of how hypocritical the Dems are. And make no mistake about it. The Repubs are desperate. Take, for example, Richard's huge "carbon footprint" of Mile High as opposed to the Pepsi Center. McCainites know that Obama giving a speech in that venue was a masterpiece of political staging. So they have to try to find something to damage the impact the speech will have. Apparently the best they can come up with is the increased carbon footprint thing. Of course they conveniently forget to mention that Mile High holds 76,000 people. The Pepsi Center holds about a quarter of that. So in fact the carbon footprint, even if it is 4X that of the Pepsi Center (which I doubt... no air conditioning needed at Mile High), is moot since it holds 4X the people. The "carbon footprint" per person would be identical. Or are they saying that because 4x the number of people will see Obama then there will be 4x the carbon footprint. In that case the only thing Barry could do would be to give his acceptance speech in his living room to Michelle and the girls. hth Geo. C. Who is looking forward to the news films of those little girls running around the White House. Nothing like the father of young kids to liven up the Presidency. http://z.about.com/d/politicalhumor/...psons_2008.jpg |

Well, of course it would. But the issue is not really what Limpdick might or might not have made of it, its about talk versus action. A whole pack of Dem pols pay all sorts of lip service to "being green" (ala Gore) while not personally doing **** about it if it impinges upon their personal lives in a detrimental way. And make no mistake about it. The Repubs are desperate. Take, for example, Richard's huge "carbon footprint" of Mile High as opposed to the Pepsi Center. McCainites know that Obama giving a speech in that venue was a masterpiece of political staging. Er, nope. So they have to try to find something to damage the impact the speech will have. Apparently the best they can come up with is the increased carbon footprint thing. Of course they conveniently forget to mention that Mile High holds 76,000 people.

In that case the only thing Barry could do would be to give his acceptance speech in his living room to Michelle and the girls. The simple fact - yes, fact - is that much like Live Earth, the decision to do the speech in a stadium versus the convention center is another example of, to quote those well-known right-wing conservatives Roger Daltrey and Pete Townsend, "private planes for climate change"... For all the burying of balloons in compost heaps and organic, union-made bags, there is at least one inconvenient truth: that this thing is gonna have a disproportionate environmental impact. And all of the partisan politics anyone wants to spout isn't gonna alter that... H _T_ H, R hth Geo. C. |
