It's nice to see the outer fringe take such an interest in carbon footprints (I always keep a pan of coal dust next to the front door, and step in it before heading out in the morning). http://online.wsj.com/public/article....html?mod=blog "The host committee for the Democratic National Convention wanted 15,000 fanny packs for volunteers.

Dave (at Lakewood for the sixth time, awaiting Myron)- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - David, you are full of **** as far as your political awareness. It doesn't seem to matter to you how many of the crowd you voted in steal, get caught, betray American intelligence officers, sell arms to our enemies, cavort with male prostitutes, shoot each other in the face, cook the books, cheat on their spouses, lie under oath, etc etc etc. I think you could personally witness the Bushies bindle ****ing girl monkeys on the White House lawn and you would blame it on the "effin liberals." And other times I think you must just love to **** people off with this non-sense, because even a light reading of the US newspapers would clue you into just what has transpired over the last 7 years.

wrote: 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. 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. 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), Wrong. 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. 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. |
