Right under the indulgences

Former Vice-President Al Gore today formed an exploratory committee aimed for a presidential run in '08. He cited a lack of current candidates who are paying significant attention to the problem of Global Warming.
His major policy change, according to a statement released by Mr. Gores campaign, would be for the government to become actively involved in forcing carbon-neutral lifestyles on normal, everyday Americans. "Mr. Gore firmly believes that excessive power consumption releasing unacceptable amounts of CO2 into the atmosphere causes global warming". He will therefore propose legislation that will determine, according to family size, how much power they can use in a year. "Mr. Gore believes American families vacation too much, make too many trips in their cars and use power for unnecessary things like air-conditioning in the summer and heat in the winter".
Anyone consuming more than their alloted share will be charged an additional "carbon tax" on their electric bills that will be used to purchase all carbon credits from Generation Investment Management. Mr. Gores campaign denies this future no bid contract award has anything to do with his being Chaiman of this company. Said a spokesperson, "Generation Investment Management is the premier carbon credit trading company in the world. It's purely coincidence he his the Chairman of the Board. Our friends across the aisle will be sure to make this a campaign issue which is despicable and the highest form of partisan politics"..
developing...
Would he regulate how much toilet paper you use?
You mean we can all live in mansions and use 20 times as much energy per household as we do now? And get it all paid for by a trust fund set up by our daddy, who got his money from the zinc mine in the back yard, owned by Armand Hammer? And we don't have to feel guilty about it because we're buying "carbon credits" from a company we are part owners of?
Count me in!
Run al Run !!!!!
Puhhh- lease !!!
Could you see this earth worshiping demagogue trying
to defend his junk-science in a debate !?
Has he debated anyone yet ;-)
I think this is a parody.
Oh, let him run. PLEASE!
if you "think" it's a parody, it must be pretty good, eh?? :)
Carbon credits now on Ebay

Manbearpig is afraid and deeply saddened.
I agree with you.
I would LOVE to see Fred Thompson go up against this hypocrite moron!
Does this mean that Gore will have to pay a tax on all the CO2 he emits into the atmosphere by spewing all that hot air?
If Algore indeed formed an exploratory committee, you can bet that CNNABCNBCCBSPBSMSNBC would be all over it. And they would fail to conceal their absolute enthusiasm.
Right under the indulgences
I figured he would end up getting in the race! It is going to be lots of fun watching the DEMS fight each other. Watch for a Gore/Obama ticket now. Yuck!
I want to see Gore running on top of a bullet train in Japan.
Gore sells carbon offsets -- it's his business -- carbon neutral to him means gazillions in dollars.
Totalitarians are very busy imprinting this whole scheme with a religious and moral code. Most Americans seem too stupid to recognize what's actually happening. Far too many so-called "leaders" in our Congress are either just as stupid or cravenly going along with this "next new thing" which they figure will generate votes for them next election cycle. This is where we've come as a result of the dumbing down of what was once a "republic".
I'm shocked! Shocked!
When you purchase a Carbon Offset Credit my company will do a number of things that some just dont have time to do. For your purchase of a Carbon Offset Credit we will do the following for you:
1. Plant a Tree.
2. The money will be used to buy energy efficient light bulbs and donated to familys who cannot afford them.
3. We will invest the money in companies who research and produce windmills.
4. We are also purchasing feed to reduce methane produced by domesticated animals.
This was a satire article, right? He can't be this dumb . . . never mind . . . he absolutely is that dumb. Hopefully, the dumbocrats are dumb enough to nominate him.
Forgot to say: one of the EBay sellers includes this in his pitch, which I think is the key to the entire thing:
"You can continue living the way you always have." So, to sum up, send him money, he plants a tree, you go about your business as usual.
Of course this is a parody!! But it is totally believable, isn't it? A carbon neutral society is as workable as Gore's social security "lock box"! Such is the "brilliant mind" of Al Gore!!!
Is that your ebay thing? lol!! How many credits do I need to purchase to offset the gas these liberals are giving me?
Headline: "Monty Python gang abandons planned revival. 'We can't top that,' says spokesman."
It's not my EBay thing! I don't knowingly give free money to moonbats. I just went to ebay and typed in carbon credits. What a bunch of loonies. Fact is, anyone could advertise on ebay and claim to be selling carbon credits and make a pile of money. I will accept $20 fee for each bedding plant I put in my yard this spring and make enough to pay a gardener.
Hillary vs Gore vs Soros backed Obama. Dear god it's the perfect storm.
Please run, Al. Then American democrats can choose between a looney green, an accessory to rape, an ambulance chaser, or a muslim. What a line-up.
Just when I worry about the Republicans self-destructing, the Dems always seem to give me hope.
Will he take a pledge to run a carbon neutral campaign?
Sorry about that! I thought you were running that on ebay as a joke! I can't believe anyone would actually see that and take it serious. Never underestimate the stupidity of the american public. I do hope it is a conservative conning idiot liberals, though!
I can buy trees and plant them in all the new subdivisions (and charge the homeowners as well...no need for them to know I have already been paid).
And, when I am done with that project, I will set up a recycling center for those lightbulbs and charge people to get rid of those mercury-filled lightbulbs. Of course, I will reclaim the mercury and sell it, too. And Donating those lightbulbs to poor people will give me more customers for my recycling site.
I am also going to start researching windmills. I can kill a couple of days looking up things on Google and that will net me a handy chunk of change.
I also will buy and repackage cattle feed and sell it as "low methane" food. who is going to actually measure cow flatulence anyway?
All in all, a tidy little scheme for the unscrupulous. Unfortunately, I am bound by ethics and won't really do this. I would have made a great grifter!
Hah.
He'd just tax it out of existence.
His major policy change, according to a statement released by Mr. Gores campaign, would be for the government to become actively involved in forcing carbon-neutral lifestyles on normal, everyday Americans. "Mr. Gore firmly believes that excessive power consumption releasing unacceptable amounts of CO2 into the atmosphere causes global warming". He will therefore propose legislation that will determine, according to family size, how much power they can use in a year. "Mr. Gore believes American families vacation too much, make too many trips in their cars and use power for unnecessary things like air-conditioning in the summer and heat in the winter".
I can't believe this guy is not in a straight jacket!!!
Maybe we have become an asylum!
But of course his and his family's vacations, car trips, heating and air conditioning would be exempt from the rules he wants to impose on the rest of us. Nothing new here, just the same old elitist BS. Meanwhile, he's busy making money off the chumps by selling them magical carbon credits!
I can't believe that our country is falling for this scam!!!
We so badly need an articulate leader!
I really admired Bush when he first came in and told the world what they can do with Kyoto and the International Court - now that he has nothing to lose, he's starting to wimp out.
What a freaking looney....
Now what we need from ALGORE is a promise that he believes in this issue so much he would run as a Green Party candidate in the event he were unsuccessful in securing the RAT party nomination. Gore vs. Hillarobama vs. REPUB.
GORE is Green (with envy) in 2008. Yes.
lmao, what a stunner...and I really believed he just wanted to save the environment and destroy American industry.
manbearpig lives lol.
So cool - Now it will be fun to watch Mr. Bill Clinton campane for Mrs. Bill Clinton, He'll have to dis His VP in the process, Should make for some great you tube watching as Mr. Bill fesses up to the fact that Al Gump is nut's
Source? Or are you pulling an Onion?
Run Forest Run!
Al Gore Rejects TV Debate on Global Warming
Lord Monckton, a former policy adviser to Margaret Thatcher during her years as Prime Minister, has seen his challenge to debate global warming rejected by former Vice-President Al Gore. “I have seen Mr. Gore’s film,” said Monckton. “‘An Inconvenient Truth,’ is a foofaraw of pseudo-science, exaggerations, and errors, now being peddled to innocent schoolchildren worldwide. By refusing to debate, Mr. Gore has bolstered his profound ignorance with a large dollop of cowardice.”
Gore rebuffed the debate challenge saying “The issue has already been settled. There’s nothing to debate. Every reputable scientist agrees that humans are wrecking the climate. The challenge itself is a disreputable attempt to muddy the waters and delay the necessary transfer of power to those of us pledged to save the planet.”
“I don’t know how many times I’ve told everyone that this is a moral issue,” Gore continued. “Opposition to our moral course of action is, by dint of logic, immoral. We don’t need to hear from the advocates of immorality. We need to make the sacrifices necessary to atone for our sins against Mother Earth. I’ve shown the way. It’s up to everyone to follow it.”
"Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached." - Manuel II Palelologus
What Gore says is so profound that he must talk real slow so the rest of us can absorb it.
He is really obsessed...
Yes, and there'll be inspections to make sure you use it properly. There'll also be schools created to train folks to use it properly, and attendance will be required to obtain a TP and dump licence. THose who fail the course will be required to wear diapers, except illegal aliens, of course.
