Should President Barack Obama boycott the Copenhagen conference, as suggested by Sarah Palin?

[My Favorite Headache]

Pretty much a tie on MSNBC there. Looks like the country is 50-50 on this.

[norge]

I wouldn’t think that a poll on MSNBC is representative of the country. It may be the way people feel, but those numbers have to be discouraging to that network.

[MaxCUA]

I would say the country is 75 (against) and 20-25 (support). Realize it is MSNBC

[dynachrome]

Pretty close considering it is PMSNBC.

FREEP THIS POLL ***PING!*** FRmail me if you want to be added or removed from the Fearless Poll-Freeping Freepers Ping list. And be sure to ping me to any polls that need Freepin', if I miss them. (looks like a medium volume list) (gordongekko909, founder of the pinglist, stays on the list until his ghost signs up for the list)

[Dilbert San Diego]

Yes he should boycott the conference. He could easily say that there is so much doubt, that the science is unsettled, that he wants to back away from this subject. Otherwise, we’re in for a bruising Senate battle over cap and trade legislation, which will be political bad news for Democrats and the President.

I think he will go to Copenhagen and promise the US will go along with the global warming sham. The liberals are convinced that they are “morally right”, on the “right side of history” and such drivel.

On this issue, and some others, it’s like they feel there can be no opposing point of view, no compromise, no decision to defer a decision to wait for real facts to emerge.

[subterfuge]

Poll is merely to galvanize those who are already distrustful of Palin. As if she has the audacity to challenge The One.

Yes. It’s obvious that these climate change “experts” are manipulating data to further their own agendas.
13,014 votes

48.5%
No. Global warming is a reality and it would be ludicrous for the president to remove himself from the dialogue aimed at correcting this calamity.
13,228 votes

3.8%
I don’t know. Maybe the blame for global warming doesn’t rest entirely on the world’s population. I’d like to investigate these leaked e-mails further and see who’s attending the conference.

Apparently they operate much like the globull warming community over there. They can, by consensus, suppress dissenting points of view:

I guess that means Dumbama is a dumba** also since he had a ghost writer for his book........but his ghostwriter is a muslim terrorist advocate..........what a loser Dumbama is.............a commie, arab terrorist at heart selling America down the tube from inside. If he likes socialism so much, let him leave the country and go elsewhere. The sooner the better!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

There were a few of these in the first 30 or so comments. Most were either "deniers" or defenders of Sarah.

[vwbug]

I think he should go. Wouldn’t want Obama to deny himself another opportunity to look like an ASS

[dervish]

done.

Boycott is still narrowly ahead.

[Tigercap]

49.1% ‘yes’

[USAHOME]

I was reading over these, too, AZ .44 MAG. Wow...they’re a scary group, because if you disagree, you’re collapsed. It’s the typical left-wing silencer on a gun, in my mind. If you don’t agree, off with your head. I’m SO glad I don’t watch MSNBC.

Thanks for pointing that out!

55.1% YES 41.7% NO SarahCuda Power! Liberal heads popping at MSNBC! Here's a fun rant by a liberal blogger bemoaning the fact that Sarah Palin's Washington Post opinion piece on AGW was one of the most commented articles of the year. Call for the Waahmbulance

The Plum LineGreg Sargent's blog Sarah Palin’s Copenhagen-Bashing Op-Ed One Of Most Read WaPo Opinion Pieces Of The Year Here’s a dispiriting postscript to the massive flap over The Washington Post’s decision to publish an Op ed by Sarah Palin on climate change, a piece that has been widely criticized as riddled with falsehoods. I’m told by the paper’s insiders that her piece was one of the most-read WaPo opinion pieces of the year, coming in 21st in page views out of literally hundreds of opinion articles. An earlier Palin Op ed in the paper on the same topic was the third most read of the year. A lot of this is probably driven by heavy outside linkage. But still, the fact that Sarah Palin, of all people, is able to command such attention for her views on the science of climate change, of all things, is kind of amazing. To be clear, I’m not defending the decision to run the piece. I wouldn’t have run it. I’m just pointing out the undeniable fact that the woman’s name gets people clicking. Until people stop clicking, Palin and her views will continue to get attention. http://theplumline.whorunsgov.com/climate-change/sarah-palins-copenhagen-op-ed-one-of-best-read-wapo-opinion-pieces-of-the-year/
