In the first town hall of his freshly announced presidential campaign, Mitt Romney yesterday reaffirmed his view that global warming is occurring and that humans are contributing to it, a position that has been rejected in recent years by many Republicans as the issue has taken on a greater partisan tinge.
"I don't speak for the scientific community, of course," Romney said. "But I believe the world's getting warmer. I can't prove that, but I believe based on what I read that the world is getting warmer. And number two, I believe that humans contribute to that . . . so I think it's important for us to reduce our emissions of pollutants and greenhouse gases that may well be significant contributors to the climate change and the global warming that you’re seeing."

Well, good. He’s toast then. Buh bye Romney!
FUMR
So he insists that phony, faked data is real. Even the GW crowd doesn’t believe in GW. It is now CLIMATE CHANGE.
IDIOT.
What rhymes with Mitt?
I WILL sit the election out if Romney is the nominee. With his positions on global warming and government health care, and the fact that I cannot trust what he says on abortion and gun rights because HE doesn't even know where he stands on those issues... I see little difference between him and Obama.
At least now we have some decent Republicans who are trying to block the Obama Marxist agenda. I fear that with a liberal like Mitt, they would be more inclined to go along with the nonsense because it was the leader of "their" party's nonsense.
I would have possibly been willing to give him the benefit of the doubt in the general election before this global warming garbage, but he seems to be intent on giving Obama ammunition to use against the conservatives.
Mitt wants to be President... for MITT. Mitt obviously doesn't give a rat's ass about the Country. I want someone who will undo the destruction Obama has brought upon the Nation, not continue it, or give it a Republican stamp of approval..

PPP surveyed 1,387 Iowa voters from May 27th to 30th. The margin of error for the survey is +/-2.6%. This poll was not paid for or authorized by any campaign or political organization. PPP surveys are conducted through automated telephone interviews. PPP is a Democratic polling company, but polling expert Nate Silver of the New York Times found that its surveys in 2010 actually exhibited a slight bias toward Republican candidates."
Hey... Nate Silver from the NY Times assures us that this poll leans towards republicans.

Romney is Rong.
Mitt needs a group photo with himself, Nancy and Newt, all sitting on a couch and proclaiming a greener world.
Awwwwwww. Wouldn’t that make a sweet campaign poster.

I couldn't agree more.
Romney doesn’t believe anything, he just plays to any available audience.
I thought you were willing to vote for Mitt, if he is the nominee?
I'm honestly asking... perhaps I am missing something.
But I believe that Mitt’s getting dumber. I can’t prove that, but I believe based on what I read that Mitt is getting dumber. And number two, I believe that Mitt is a RINO statist.
I agreed with what you said we needed; but yes, I would vote for Mitt, albeit very reluctantly. I just don’t think he would be as destructive as a continuation of the present disaster in the White House, especially if the Obamanation brings more Demonrats into congress. That speaks to how bad I believe 0bummer is and is not to compliment Romney.
Agreed. I would still vote for him in the general but not just by holding my nose, but with disgust.
He’s running to the middle of the road moderates and the GOP establishment. It’s his only hope. He knows the conservatives will never be on board with him. His only hope is a splintered conservative vote and a victory by plurality ala’ McCain in 2008.
Like McCain in 2008, IF he wins the nomination, he’ll tap a conservative Tea Party favorite as his Veep candidate. Look for it to be Michelle Bachman. She was his Committee Chair in Minnesota in `08.
Everything old is new again. Even the results.
I don't think he is getting dumber. I think he's been listening to his precious campaign strategerists who told him he could get a bigger chunk of the independent vote if he sided with this crap. Either way my disgust continues to grow.
