He DID push for it.

But do you get the impression that he was making a token effort for something he knew would never get approved?

Thisa is aBSOlutely frigging maddening!!! We have lost this war- we ARE going to be paying through the nose for a natural friggin event that we can't do an frigging thing about no matter how we live- if we all took our cars off the roads, shut down all industry, and huddled together for warmth in the winters, it would change one damn thing!

This is the biggest frigging lie ever perpetrated on this earth, and the greedy lying maggots are pushing this through full speed ahed. Al Gore's 'documentary; was PROVEN to be full of crap, full of lies, and full of innacuracies yet he has known this and yet foistedf it on the world anyways! Yes I'm pissed!!!

yes you will- we are powerless to stand up against this freaking lie called global warming- it will be like refusing to pay your income taxes or property taxes- everyone says they won't pay, but they always do because we're afraid of our government and facing prison- The ONLY way we could get away with not paying is if EVERYONE refused to pay for htis lie- but that isn't going to happen- everyone won't take a stand.

No, I believe you're engaged in the paralysis of analysis.

Nope, I've just known a lot of politicians over the years.

I'm not into parsing nuances as much as you. He said it.

DON'T ever say or assume that you are powerless. You have power! You have your beliefs! You can speak! Go out and organize when the time is right!

It isn't a nuance. It is the difference between what a politician says in public and what he is actually up to. The two are seldom more than kissing cousins.
