I find it sad that a macho large and strong state like Texas will be represented by an effeminate, small cripple.

Thanks for making it clear once again how conservatives hate democracy and are elitists. I sure wish the GOP law makers trying to protect their jobs with voter suppression schemes would be more upfront about this.
Because Texans don't support those things. Also, he shouldn't say 'global warming' as nobody uses that term anymore (now it's 'climate change').
So Republicans support billionaires buying the means of electoral information for their own benefit, segregating wealth classes so that there is no middle class in America, and emitting CO2 with a reckless disregard for the state of the planet for their children. nice, sounds compassionately christian. You know what's weird, those things are not "conservative", you are radically changing the role of the Fourth Estate component of Democracy, radically changing the egalitarian nature of American society to resemble the feudal system we were formed to combat and definitely not conserving the planet and resources. It just shows the Orwellian society we live in where whores like Frank Lutz sell out truth for power.
FIFY This is a low priority across the country. I would guess that's the case in Texas too. Of course they care about the state of the planet. The problem for you, is there is no global warming (Earth is same temperature it was 18 yrs ago), thus the switch to the term 'climate change'. Also, CO2 doesn't cause weather effects (or at least so says the NIPCC). You got all that from the 2 sentences i wrote in my last post? You sound totally reasonable.
I've long thought it a misnomer to call Republicans and especially Libertarians and Tea Partiers conservative, if conservative refers to the maintenance of the status quo. That term may have been appropriate for baby-boomer years or something, but what Republicans push for now are new things, like deregulation and making free markets where we never had them before, dismantling government entities that have always existed and privatizing functions that have traditionally been done by those entities, or dismantling the public safety net we've had for 80 years. You could even call it progressive if liberals hadn't already co-opted that word. That I see republicans as the progressive ones, does that make it a good thing? No, I'm conservative.
He's talking about the effects of the decision, not the specific case in question. Not for the people who are affected. For people who haven't had a wage increase in decades, this is one of the major concerns. Not sure where you get your information, but the Earth is not the same temperature as 18 years ago, according to NASA...
Personally, I have no party I like that much in the US, so I always go to the polls after reading this. If an office has no one I like at all, I don't vote for it. I'll skip it. If a candidate doesn't answer the League of Women voters for the guide, I eliminate them right off. I like to think my vote should matter, and I make every b*stard running for office earn mine, and you deserve no less. In all seriousness, you and other paleo-conservative religious guys should vote Constitutionalist and feel no shame. If enough people who thought as you do did that, there would be some in politics, they wouldn't be beholden to the GOP platform, and your causes would at least have a chance to be heard by the general public rather than voted down in GOP county and state conventions. The same goes for socialists, greens and libertarians who vote against their interests when they vote for Republicans / Democrats.
punishing people for making films, books, tv shows, songs would be the 'effects' of over turning Citizens United. Read the case. Gallup polling says not important The Great Pause has lasted 17 years and 11 months. data from the RSS satellite dataset Spoiler
So over the past nearly 200 years the overall temperature change has been less than 1* C? Good observation, Nick Saban.
Some liberals have yet to give up on the global warming term. It was the same for them in the 70s when they started calling blacks 'african american.'
1°C may be enough to cause irreversible changes, according to people who study these things. Wikipedia - Tipping point (climatology)
You do realize that the most important effect of CU has been that people are allowed to contribute unlimited funds to political organizations without disclosing the contributions, right? "Economic issues" are an important issue, so say a large number of those in the poll you cite. There are several questions that were asked about specifically in that poll that have to do with wage stagnation and, no surprise, there are people who identify that as the major problem. Of course, if you ask them if it is A problem, as opposed to their primary concern, you'd get different results, but you knew that already. Too bad NASA and the RSS dataset (which you cite, but which doesn't appear to agree with your opinion) disagree with you... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Satell...s#mediaviewer/File:Satellite_Temperatures.png
