8/17/11: At a town hall event in New Hampshire, Gov. Rick Perry (R-TX) claims that global warming is a conspiracy.

1. That's true ...

... except that they are the "scientists" working for the oil and coal lobbies.

[underpants]

8. That is exactly it

the lack of the complete story or equation in this country is astounding.

14. Bingo!

n/t

[chelsea0011]

2. Then name them

[Sam1]

3. The next question should have been request that he name

names. Those that he impugned should have a chance to defend themselves.

4. Next Question

Which industry is your largest contributor?

[Speed8098]

5. OMG

Can anyone say MOOOORRRRONNNNN?

[JDPriestly]

6. Can anybody say that he talks through his hat.

I would say he is a liar but actually, I think he just made that up as he went along. How can he possibly think that the scientists who are predicting global warming is due to man's activities would lie for money?

Who would pay them enough to risk their reputations on lying?

Nobody. That's who.

The scientists who work for the fossil fuel industries are paid the big bucks.

Peer-reviewed studies are a tough measure.

Perry doesn't hang out with scientists. That's for sure.

11. Hat? Don't know...but he sure talks through his ass

His ideas on science remind me of the following quote:

"..............................."

That's about it.

7. I HATE being smarter than presidental candidates....REALLY HATE IT!!!

When I was a child (in the 70's), I remember feeling that politicians - at least the ones that were discussed in my household like FDR, Truman, JFK and LBJ - were actually pretty smart men. Men of respect. Men of letters.

For the last 4 presidential elections though, I can say without a second's hesitation that I am undoubtedly smarter than the GOP standard bearers (Shrub,McCain, ALL of this years parade of fools...) and it makes me want to cry. I don't WANT to live in a country that the least common denominator is the winner of a rigged popularity contest to become our President. Despite my crushing disappointment in Obama's non-stop capitulation as president, I can honestly say that as a man, he is more intelligent and more learned than I am or ever will be. That was one reason I was so happy he won in '08...but now, I am fearful that the moron brigade of American voters are going to elect someone completely stupid and dangerously non-curious....AGAIN!!!

Just 2 1/2 years ago Bush was president...and we have a large group of citizens in this country who seem to believe the only thing wrong with that was that Bush was too SMART?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

Stop the world, I need to get off before I vomit repeatedly!

[ScottLand]

9. Yeah, what are the figures on that? Who ARE these rogue scientists?

[wxgeek7]

10. I smell a conservative hypocrite

Manipulation...over money?

Hmmm, this, coming from a guy that got over $100 million in contributions over the past decade (about half of which, came from donors who gave $100,000 or more).

Yeah, he stinks.

[Jack Rabbit]

12. That's a nasty charge, governor

Now back it up with facts, you motherfucker.

[blackspade]

13. This guy is an idiot.
