1. anyone have an airsick bag?n/t

[IntertubeGuy]

25. I just used all mine.

I'm all for bipartisanship for tackling climate change, but let's hope that people realze that just because Newt's onboard doesn't mean that other republicans are also.

Promote bipartisan solutions: Vote Democratic!

[Donnachaidh]

28. I live in Newt's former area

And what I've seen being done around here is NOT Green. Tearing down acreage of live trees to put up McMansions, more and more traffic, more and more businesses... What was once a green and fertile area is turning into a hugely populated, everything alike BS clump of humainty with NO vision for working WITH the potential of the area.

To even HAVE Newt in this ad pretty much signals that the ad is a LIE. :grr:

[Lorien]

2. Well, those two will probably never do Jack shit

but I'm still (slightly) hopeful that if enough ads air and enough of us speak out, the environment/ climate change might actually become a campaign issue this year!

[Lint Head]

3. This is Twilight Zone shit. Newt is a fascist so I guess

Pelosi is now embracing fascism. It's call kissing the devil because no one else wants you kiss you. :dem:

[mac2]

22. They would be shocked to hear you call them Fascist

but you are right. They have fallen into the dark dungeon of greed and power abuse. They hate our democracy who questions and mocks them. They want power until they walk away with a bag of plunder or a good job, book, or corporate job.

Fascists are common liars, crooks, torturers, and murderers. It's not a just political philosophy. People get hurt and it destroys countries.

4. If Newt says Global Warming is real, then maybe it's fake? n/t

[evolvingsteve]

5. !

That's almost what I'm thinking!....

[Ian David]

6. On the OTHER hand, there's The McCain Strategy.

They claim to believe in Global Warming as a cover for not actually doing anything about it.

[evolvingsteve]

7. yup

exactly as well!


I'm sick tonight so I'm just in agreeing mode when needed, lol.


:silly: :silly: :silly: :silly: :silly: :crazy: :crazy: :crazy: :crazy: :puke: :puke: :puke: no but really, this cough and flu SUCKS!!!!

I'm devil's advocate on both sides



:evilgrin:

[jjr5]

8. I can't even watch this.

These commercials make me sick - literally, I can't stand it. Al Sharpton and Pat Robertson were in another one of these commercials. It just makes me feel like throwing up. Neither of them, yes, even precious Al Sharpton has done anything good for this country or its people.

[mac2]

9. They get paid to do this by whose group?

I'm going to get sicker than ever thinking about who planned these commercials. The elite are all friends even though they act like they aren't. Nancy with a woman hater like Gingrich? What is she thinking?

It gives you the chills like seeing Bill Clinton with George H. Bush.

Talk about association with unsavory people.

[Hissyspit]

13. This is Al Gore's effort. n/t

[stlsaxman]

29. That's correct- This is one of a series of ads BY AL GORE, PEOPLE!!!

and i think it's pretty fucking cool!

:headbang: :headbang: :headbang: :headbang: :headbang: :headbang:



the series uses juxtaposed figures getting together to promote action!

other commercials to feature-

Grover Norquist and Bill Clinton

Barrack Obama and David Duke

Elvis Presley and Igor Stravinsky

Edward R. Murrow and George Stephenopoulos

Ann Coulter and Randi Rhodes

Mother Teresa and Muhammad Atta



who would YOU like to see come together and help solve the climate crisis, hmmm?

[GrimReefa]

16. Of course they're all friends

Who but politicians can best empathize with other politicians, regardless of party? And it must especially be the case with people who have served the same high-profile position, like POTUS or SOTH. Besides, would you rather they hate each other to the point where nothing can get done about anything?

I'm no Gingrich fan, not by a long shot, but if he puts out an olive branch on an issue this important, then it isn't the time to argue. Climate change is too important an issue for us to be choosing who can be our allies and who can not.

Newt Gingrich is capable of doing more good in respect to this issue than any Democrat, precisely because of his views on other issues. If anybody isn't convinced, Nancy Pelosi isn't going to convince them. Gingrich might.

[mac2]

20. Why have the two parties as spokes people?

They both failed to do anything. Maybe new politicans in DC? Maybe since they might do something about it.

I'd rather see ordinary people worried about their farms, jobs, homes, future generations,etc. Power to the people Al!! They are mostly paying for it anyway.

[SlicerDicer-]

14. any video of this? err or is it that bad?

[jjr5]

18. Sure.

I watched this one on T.V. - by accident - during a commercial break. Here it is for your viewing pleasure. I kept waiting for the catch at the end of the commercial, but it didn't come. I didn't even watch this before I copied it. lol.

10. A lot of folks getting sick over the WE ads.

As unpleasant as it may be to hear some of these dubious
personalities speaking about global climate change, I applaud
WE and Al Gore for their efforts and leadership.

[madamesilverspurs]

11. Maybe just my eyes,

but the lighting seemed a bit odd. Like maybe they'd been filmed at different times and then it was spliced or something. I dunno, guess that's just another level of "it just looks...wrong," eh?

[Muttocracy]

15. on my screen it looked like it was a rainy day

sitting on white couch outside on a rainy day - well, no stranger than Nancy and Newt touching knees and smiling at each other!

[jjr5]

12. I think the real question is . . .

What are these people doing about it? What are they doing to start or support legislation combating global warming? - apart from being in this commercial, which they probably got paid to do.

What have these individuals done in the past to effectively try to help our environment? Nothing. What are they going to do after telling us, through a commercial, about how they really care about global warming? - Hopefully something.

[mac2]

23. We pay them to go to DC and do what is good for us.

We have our own lives and jobs. But they act like we are to do it.

[jjr5]

24. I know.

We can obviously do a lot, but Al Gore literally had to start a grassroots campaign to get something done. I guess that's just how things have to get done right about now.

[mac2]

26. Al could have done more as VP but did not.

That's why I voted for Clinton...enviornmental Al.

[trthnd4jstc]

17. Pelosi's a Democrat? She is against impeachment of Bush and Cheney!

I know she is a Democrat, but... Yes be good to the environment.

[febreze]

19. strange bed fellows

I didn't know Newt believed global warming was man-made. You learn something new every day.

Finally he's in the right side of an issue.

[mac2]

21. Newt only believes climate change is man made when he

is running for President or looking for a job in the new administration (which might be Democratic). Newt talks the talk of those in power.

27. "Come Together RIGHT NOW...OVER ME!..........Ugh...n/t
