Anyone notice something missing from John McCain's speech
Global Warming. He failed to mention just once during his speech at the convention what he plans to do about global warming. Are the republicans serious? Do they honestly think they can continue to ignore this issue, and hope it goes away. It's not going away. All the evidence is on the table and John McCain has failed to even recognize the problem. He is not the only republican that has failed to recognize global warming, but geees what the fuck. How can a major candidate for president of the United States not have one damn thing to say on what is one of the most important issues, not just facing our country, but the world in the future.

I mean not even Palin mention global warming and yet her own state of Alaska is a prime example of the effects already of a globe that is warming at an alarming rate. I know that John McCain's only energy policy is to "DRILL DRILL DRILL", but this is unbelievable at this stage in the discussion to just pretend that global warming is not a problem.

4. Palin wouldn't care--is planning on being Raptured.
These people don't care what happens to the earth because God is going to sweep them all up into Heaven before anything gets too bad. I think that's also been Dubya's plan all along too.

8. Yeah well I hope GOD has a big damn boat ready
Because when the rapture comes the whole damn planet will be under water if we don't take on this problem. But you are probably right when you say they could careless. I believe many of them do careless.
