It will create jobs in Indiana, reduce foreign oil imports and address global warming, Mr. Hill said at a debate with Todd Young, a novice Republican candidate who is supported by an array of Indiana Tea Party groups and is a climate change skeptic.

3. Like the bumper sticker says

Teabaggers have never liked facts or truth. They just change the parts they don't like, like the morans they are. :banghead:
