Romney: Earth is warming, emissions cuts needed

Republican White House candidate Mitt Romney said Friday that global warming is real and that human activity is among the causes.

Reuters reports from New Hampshire:

Presidential hopeful Mitt Romney broke with Republican orthodoxy on Friday by saying he believes that humans are responsible, at least to some extent, for climate change.

"I believe the world is getting warmer, and I believe that humans have contributed to that," he told a crowd of about 200 at a town hall meeting in Manchester, N.H.

"It's important for us to reduce our emissions of pollutants and greenhouse gases that may be significant contributors."

The story later adds:

The United States cannot go it alone in attempting to trim emissions levels and give a free pass to countries such as China and Brazil, Romney said. "It's not called American warming, it's called global warming," he said.

Sorry, there is no way I can vote for this, I just can't.

I will have to write someone in.

Hey, no worry. He'll "Etch-a-Sketch" that, too. We need to concentrate on getting Conservatives elected in the House and Senate. THEN, we'll twist Mitt's arm to sign the bills they give him. Much better than Barry. My idea for a Romney bumper sticker is "Not my first choice, BUT HE'LL DO"

Would one expect anything different from this corrupt “Two-Party Cartel”. They all are not worth, as the saying goes, a bucket of spit. 300 million plus & these idiots are the only ones to select from. Any organization with the likes of Loretta Sanchez, Barbara Boxer, Pelosi & on & on should be eliminated.

You're whistling past the graveyard if you really think anyone is going to twist Romney's arm to do anything against his nature.

He has a documented history of saying the conservative thing on multiple issues and then making sure the far-left-wing, Progressive Liberal consequence is enacted, from Gay Marriage, to Gay Adoption, to implementing a Cap-and-trade aystem, to raising taxes 300%, to implementing an Assault Weapons Ban in MA.

You apparently don't know much about Romney and his horrible left-wing, Progressive Liberal record.

That's what's wrong with Mittens. What he said yesterday / last year IS what he believes. Now he's just lying to us so he can call himself erroneously Severely Conservative.

What the HECK is going on here folks? Old article yes - but this is what Obama does. Lies to get elected then turns on his purely socialist actions.

Wake up folks before it's too late.

Like I said in Previous post Hey go away dude, I checked your posts here and elsewhere, I believe you to be an operative for the Obama crowd, you’ve been railing against Romney for the last 2 years and you did the same against Palin and McCain, but the thing is in all the posts you put out, there has never been a negative word against Obama, or the democratic party. It seems to me you are trying to lead people not to vote, to stay home. Maybe you should follow President Reagan’s Rule, the 11th commandment which says, ‘Don’t speak ill of another Republican. that’s all you ever do, if you are, a plant, go away, write your stuff on MSNBC

Bless you SoConPubbie. Our Founders would be proud of you. Please don't let up in your efforts to expose an enemy of Liberty and our Constitution that happens to be running for the GOP nod (aka mitt the fraud).

If anyone believes mitt has to be better than Obama they are utterly delusional.

mitt and obama do not warrant a vote from anyone who believes in our Constitution.

The individual is scorned by each of these cretins. I loathe them both equally -- for they worship at the alter of State Power.

Mitt: Poor boob! Not since the latter 1990s.

Do you honestly believe that in the past year mitt backed away from AGW? AGW is a very important issue for me. It is the biggest fraud in world history.

If anything, once mitt get's the nod he will go more left on this issue.

I have seen quite of few videos of mitt speaking of AGW and it's easy to see he truly has a passionate belief in man being the problem. It's part of his core beliefs, not a flip-flop position he has shown on many other issues.

Mitt Romney is an true enemy of our Constitution.
