(Reuters) - 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, New Hampshire.

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

I am telling you that if the Republican Party serves this guy up as the nominee I would probably have to vote for the “Innocent bystander in the empty Armani suit” just to punish them for serving Romney up to me

And this is why I do NOT support Romney for POTUS.

You cannot fix stupid. The Earth’s climate is warming because the SUN has been more active in the last 80 years that it was in the 80 years previous to that!

GRRRRRRRRRRR

So Mitt, you A$$hat, I guess the fact that there has been NO warming for the past decade is irrelevant to your opinion.

And you want to be the CEO of MY country???

Failure to know that OFFICIALLY the Earth hasn’t warmed at all for the last 15 years should rule one out of higher public office.

Oh, that make me nauseous, and I think we may as well just jump of a cliff.

Next, he will start talking about “compassionate conservatism”.
