Rick Perry has doubts about Anthropogenic Global Warming and Climate Change?

Didn't he used to be the campaign manager for Al Gore? How did that happen? Or are all politicians regardless of party affiliation full of bull sh1t?

    In America we have to care about politics. The reason: Well... they are the law makers, I guess a totally socialist society concedes to demographics, demography, and demagogy.

    I can't say I'd vote for Rick, but I'm not going to vote for any recumbent office holders either. They've proven their not fit for office.

    The argument of "Deniers" i comprehend has under no circumstances been there is no AGW. we are only skeptical because of the fact the AGW claims nd fashions have been shown incorrect. we've been cooler considering 1998! this is over 11 years, for Pete's sake. The predictions have been that as CO2 will improve, then the temperature will improve. Skeptics tried to rebut that throughout the time of the ninety's while by using Gores on chart, it confirmed CO2 accompanied temp. in the Vostok ice middle samples. additionally, the earth has been in a protracted term warming vogue for over sixteen,000 years in accordance to the ice middle pattern documents. throughout the time of that long warming vogue, there are various thousands of shorter sessions wherein the cost of warming and/or cooling the two skyrockets up or down for extremely long (10-30) years. Why is so ridiculous to think of we would be in considered one of those sessions? i'm a SKEPTIC. i've got faith the AGW thought is a valid one, yet no longer yet an commonly going on certainty. you could call me despite you prefer, yet till I see actual documents lower back up your thought without a techniques-accomplishing assumptions, then i'm going to stay a skeptic and have faith that the earth will go on warming till it makes a decision to start cooling lower back. basically like it constantly has long in the previous guy had something to do with it.

    Yes, but what does Al Gore's dentist think about AGW, or perhaps his housekeeper or even his pool guy, these are the important questions deniers are still to ask.

    As for your facts Rick Perry is a Republican and was in office as first Commissioner of Agriculture of Texas (1991-1999) then Lieutenant Governor of Texas (1999-2000) then Governor of Texas (2000-)

    So no unless he was moonlighting he was not Gores campaign anything.

    I kind of like Perry because he seems to be less afraid to say what he thinks than some others. Bachman is also pretty candid but I think she is being careful lately. That is why Trump won so many hearts. If they just stand up and call BS when we all know it is BS their ratings would soar. At least Trump and Perry had the cajones to do that. I am a little scared of wishy washy politicians who generally occupy the middle of the road. Maybe Perry is really conservative but I am afraid he is like Trump, and only conservative when it suits his political whims of the day. Nearly all politicians are full of it. There is no denying that. It seems the more exposed to Washington they become, the more full of BS they end up.

    Regadrdless of the fact that Al Gore is the biggest hypocrite who ever walked the earth, campaign managers aren't necessarily supportive of their candidate's ideas. A campaign manager functions more like an advertising exec. than anything else.

    As for the person who posted about Rick Perry's 2.2 GPA, education is not a prerequisite to greatness. Abraham Lincoln only had about 12 months of education his entire life.

    It doesn't matter what Perry did, didn't do or what his 'beliefs are or were...what matters is NOW. Perry is just another clone candidate of the current GOP/Teabag/Fox 'News'/Jesus freak party...a party that operates like a political cult dedicated to pimping for any trans national corporation that's willing to funnel huge amounts of money to anyone who will vote in their favor. In this case it's oil and coal mafias that Perry is personally pimping for. You can bet that one of those 'We're Real Grass Roots Americans' PACs that work for the oil/gas/coal weasels have already bought this chump. While it may be true that to some degree 'all' politicians may be full of #$%, the DEGREE of bull #$%^ exhibited by ALL of the current GOP/Teabag/Fox "News'/Jesus freak party go way beyond ANYTHING ever seen in American history. Would Teddy Roosevelt lend himself to this kind of obstructionist dirty pool? Eisenhower? Richard Nixon before he went over to the dark side? Jerry Ford? Lincoln? Bob Taft? Barry Goldwater? Even St. Reagan, as goofy as he was in so many ways was far too honorable a man to sink to the level that this party has gone. God help the 95% of us who work for wages if ANY of these characters becomes a part of the Government of, by and for the people, because at that point it won't be a government of, by and for the people....it will be a fascisti junta of political fat cats, industrial godfathers, Jesus freaks, polluters and war criminals. You may quote me!

    How does a politicians opinion in anyway effect the science of climate change? A friend of mine believes the gravitational pull of Saturn alters her mood, does that influence your opinion on the physics of gravity?

    Right now it's a close race between Rick Perry and Michele Bachmann to see who can out-stupid the other. I think there is a good chance that a Republican will win the Presidential election next year, let's hope it's neither of them.
