"Gore Thinks He Can Use Global Warming As His Ticket To WH" (Inhofe)

[kpete]

Sen. James Inhofe, Oklahoma Republican and former chairman of the committee, disputes the scientific consensus that global warming is caused by human actions. He took a swipe at former vice president Al Gore, whose documentary on global warming, "An Inconvenient Truth," has been a box-office hit.

"Al Gore thinks he can use climate change and global warming -- he thinks that's his ticket to the White House," Inhofe said. Gore has recently said he has no plans to run.

1. And he knows this HOW?

Perhaps all the talk about people DRAFTING Gore to run is making the little peckerhead nervous.

2. Well, that's one issue more than this Oklahoma fool can use to

get anywhere.

3. Gore's probably right, too.

:)

4. I demand than Inhofe return the oxygen he's stealing from us....

What an asshole.

[Toots]

5. From someone with even less credibility than Cheney

Listen to the wind blow......

[azurnoir]

6. Inhofe I remember him

He was the one quoting scripture and verse at the podium, during judicial hearings. I guess Gd talks to him too. Al Gore does not want to run dude, (I don't believe in drafting him) so STFU and find something else to complain about.

7. Did someone fart?

No, that was just Inhofe talking.

12. Same results

stinky hot air released into the world. :toast:

[deminks]

8. Yeah, so, what's your point, Sen.?

The environment has been his cause since before he was VP. What was Smirky's cause? With Gore, you know what you are getting, and it's a damn fine cause, too. With Repugs, you get pain, suffering and death. Lets see. Clean environment vs. pain, suffering and death. I know who I would vote for.

9. Why in the world would you think that Senator?

Because your party has for years been trying to use tragedy and threats of terrorism as tickets to win elections?

10. Fantastic then!!

:thumbsup:

11. I pray Al Gore will use the WH as his means to stop global warming.

He must.

[The Count]

13. And that's why the WH sez global warming doesn't exist: to spite Gore.

Glad the adults are in charge!

[crispini]

14. See, this is why he may as well run.

They are going to swipe at him ANYWAY, and say that it is politically motivated, regardless of what he does, so why not actually run.

[GeorgeGist]

15. Sounds like leadership...

and justice to me. Only someone as STUPID as Inhofe would think it sounded like a swipe.

[in_cog_ni_to]

16. Inhofe must not have any children or grandchildren. He sure as hell doesn't care about

what kind of Earth he's leaving MY son, your sons and daughters, or your grandchildren. Well, I care! He is, without a doubt, a DANGER to our Earth! OKLAHOMA repukes, Wake the hell up!

I'd love to see Inhofe's crystal ball though. How the hell does he know what Al Gore's plans are? Gore has NEVER said he's running for president.:eyes:

[SammyWinstonJack]

17. Sounds good too me.

[Taverner]

18. Inhofe is such a dumb-ass inbred redneck...

man needs a bus ride back to the bronze age...

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

19. Global Warming is no ticket to the White House

Probably true. There are hotter issues (bad pun).

Like the war. Health care. Jobs.

If Gore runs, I'd bet global warming will be just one small piece of his platform.
