Um. I don't think anyone is more worried about saving A SINGLE tree than fixing the economy. However, if we destroy the environment the economy won't mean dick all to anyone. I suppose you think it will be better when only those with money can afford clean air and water piped into their homes. The level of your selfish, materialistic greed makes me embarrassed for you. Don't you have any friends or relatives that have told you how ridiculous you sound? Better to remain silent...

I really have to agree with the comment three above mine. if you want to express an opinion, do it in a logical and intelligent manner. Second, I agree with the comment just above mine in that we all need to focus on the thing that gives us life(meaning the environment and our planet) before we focus on improving our already grossly overwasteful and disgustingly materialistic existences. I am not a biased fool when i say that John McCain cannot lead us to change and a better America. I am stating simple fact that is widely known as truth. Mccain voted with Bush 90% of the time. I have no doubt that he truly wants to make a better America. I also have no doubt that if he were president, he would FAIL. Due to the fact that i need to do some research for my masters degree paper, I am not even going to enter the subject of Sara Palin and how inexperienced and unready she is for any major office. Beyond that, she simply lacks the intelligence necessary for such a position of power. The woman didnt even know what the Bush Doctrine was, for heaven's sake. I would have rather had Hillary Clinton as President than have Palin in any form of proximity of the oval office. That being said, I bid you all a fond farewell and good night.

I agree with above person's thoughts...

first lady repulsive girl

christ=not real

first lady i'd rim job. hahaha http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=flirj

FLIRJ is spelled correctly and according to urban dictionary, it stands for First Lady I'd Rim Job, so there ya go, no one cares what it means, the writers of SNL probably created it with the sole purpose of having a funny word to counter Palin's MILF comment, CASE AND POINT

FLIRG: first lady is really gay OR first lady is really a guy

Exactly what are you calling Laura Bush?

It's about Hillary Clinton.

I am always amazed how quickly the republican zebra can change its stripes to suit its own needs... and yet A really true republican will never change its mind, can have no sympathy for anyone, is cold, is stupid, thinks little of the land, can’t understand why his neighbor can make ends meet, doest care that his neighbor needs his help, is deaf, can never change his point of view, is greedy, is old, does not want to believe that the world is round, thinks he will live forever.

that's funny did you know that republicans donate more money, time and even blood than liberal all talk and no show democrats who are there for the hands outs of everyone else especially our goverment but aren't willing to give back what ever happened to democrats like jfk who had it right when he said "ask not what our country can do for you but what you can do for your country"? maybe if democrats would return to this belief i would go back to being a democrat our country owes us the rights set out in the constitution not a free ride cuz peole think they're too good to work at mcdonalds

Oh get stuffed. The republican oligarchy is not about donations so much as handouts. Did you know that the oil industry is in line to receive $32.9 BILLION in tax breaks and subsidies over the next 5 years? And this immediately following Exxon-Mobil’s most profitable year in the history of corporations (that’s not an exaggeration). Have you noticed the often pointed out relationships that our republican leaders and their associates have with many of these petroleum conglomerates? That's not a donation, Mr. Anonymous. That's a self-administered raise. And our country doesn't owe us a damned thing. We have to earn it. That's the whole point of "ask not what your country can do, ask what you can do for your country". The current administration would very much like the masses to believe that they are doing for their country. But why do they – and by they I’m referring to the wealthiest few, who are overwhelmingly republican – acquire more and more wealth while our national deficit grows and the poor get poorer? Sounds like our country (and its current tax structure, lack of environmental stewardship, and pro-capitalist notions) isn’t having something done for it. It’s having something done to it.

What was their profit margin? Do you really think taxing companies more would do any good? Wouldn't the company just pass the cost on to the consumer? How much of the fuel price at the pump is taxes? Questions that should be asked before believing in "Evil Corporation." Funny how everything reported on network news is written in stone fact. Just like that letter Dan Rather reported on during the last election.

we're not talking about the oil industry we talking about everyday people have you noticed that obamas finance advisor is from fannie mae and the head of his election commitee is the ex ceo of freddie mac and did you know that he received 6 times the donations to his campaign than mccain from wall street brokers did you also know that the top 1% of earners pay 40% of all the taxes paid by individuals and the bottom 50% pay only 1% these are real satistics hard to hear the truth and how hard is it to donate blood anyway that doesn't have anything to do with how much you earn it has to do with what kind of person you are so maybe you should start doing for other people by taking the example of republicans are should we be impressed with the $631 that biden donated last year that what i give in one month and make probably 1/10th of what he makes

Back on the topic of the scientists who believe in global warming, I can give you one name that should end all discussion. World renowned and world respected meteorologist and creator of The Weather Channel John Coleman says it is a bunch of hooey and that it is just part of a plan to destroy world economies and creat a single economy where everyone sinks to the lowest common denominator -- a third-world World Economy. Bio fuel didn't work in the '70s... why should we believe it will work now? If there was really any money to be made in alternative energy sources, we'd have them already. Follow the money. The Democrats have had control of Congress for 3 years now. If they REALLY wanted alternative energy, we'd have it. Instead we have gas prices 4 times higher than during the year before they took control. If they REALLY wanted us out of Iraq, we'd be out of Iraq. If they didn't want a deficit, they wouldn't have approved a budget that created a deficit.These are Congressional decisions according to the Constitution. The Republicans aren't any better. Get over yourselves. Dems and Republicans are now two sides of the same coin. Vote Libertarian this election, and lets get some real "change we can believe in", rather than the same sockful of hot nickels to the groin that we usually get.

if the internet wasn't around in the 70's, why are you blogging online now? you can't use that theory considering the change we've come thru technologically as well as ideologically, if those are words. energy does not matter to george bush, but under a president who thought it was important as an issue not voting bait, it might be a worthwhile agenda and the future. and change is inevitable though it seems to be taking a long time coming.

The weather channel is ALWAYS wrong. End of discussion.

true true lol

ummm cuz bush vetoed everything the democrat congress tried to pass. that's why. learn something sometime will ya? plus, global warming and climate change aren't abstract ideas to "believe in", like urban legends. there are concrete facts to show that things are changing and that if we don't fix it we're all doomed. republicans and democrats alike. good lord, sometimes i think we should all perish, that way there would be no idiots and the world would get along better without the humans.

Yeah - if we do all die, the planet's going to be just fine. But most of the proposed "solutions" are simply ways to funnel money to the parties involved in "solving" things. You think the energy and oil fiasco is about money? Sure. You think the "green" and "climate change" topics are NOT about money? They ARE - just like everything else is. Companies and politicians have finally found ways to MAKE MONEY off the global warming "debate" so that's why there are products, petitions, laws, and plenty of other things throwing money at the theories and "solutions" out there. But if you want to look at the ECONOMICS of it, the popular solutions aren't what gives us the most benefit. For instance, if we'd STOP SHOOTING polar bears, we'd "save" multiples more per year than are affected by changing habitat. Not to mention polar bear populations are INCREASING where temperatures are rising. These are facts. Look them up. I know they don't make you FEEL better, but that's too bad. But who is proposing that we stop shooting polar bears? Everyone's telling me to drive an electric car.

FLRG (Fu@#ing liberal repulsive girl) is what I heard it means

Who care's about a tree? Everybody should!!! We are only given one planet to live on and we should take care of it! What are you gonna do when this planet is totally uninhabitable.... Stand out in the desert with a mirror and a backpack and flag down the mothership? And from your comment about a blackman or woman running the country, all I can say is that just proves how narrow-minded and backwoods you really are! I bet you still believe the war is justified too!

it's FLIRG First Lady Is Really a Guy

FLIRGE - First Lady I'd Rather Get Elected

(You know, as opposed to...)

hahahahahahahaha

FLIRG = First Lady Is Really a Guy

You know, I may not be the most intelligent person in the world, but it lends very little credence to their political opinions when a person lacks the grammar necessary to properly structure a sentence. That's to say nothing of capitalization and punctuation. Further, it starts to feel less and less rational or considered when the opiner uses red herrings (i.e. "[Democrats] are losers") and straw men (i.e. "try getting a job like everyone else"). In short, you're full of vitriol, but you have no argument. I deduce that you likely live in a suburban or rural location, as it's been statistically shown that these types of viewpoints (well articulated or otherwise) increase in frequency as one increases their distance from urban centers and universities. This may be to my benefit, as we’ll not likely run into one another, but I’m afraid it’s to your detriment, as it decreases your opportunities for learning.

Best of luck to you, my friend.

A MILF means... Mother I'd like to F__

A FLIRG means... First Lady I'd Rim J___

thank you, if you are bashing someone, or something, without cold hard eveidence, then you really have to argument, lose your credibility, no one will listen to you, and your basically screwed.

shouldnt the G in flirg be a j then?

I believe it means Fat Lesbian Under Regular Guy

Ha, ha. I love you.

It's not that the Democratic congress hasn't done anything - it's that with our current conservative, self-interested president, they haven't been ABLE to do anything because he vetoes so much of what they try to accomplish. Pretty hard to affect any change when the monkey in our highest office has final say.

It's funny that you say the Dems are the ones that "lie, cheat, and steal". Ever heard of Tom Delay? Jack Abramoff? Senator Larry Craig? Lester Crawford? Alberto Gonzales? Mark Foley? The GOP has cornered the scandal market. Maybe you do a little research. Maybe instead of baseless finger pointing, you look past the party and form an intelligent opinion based on the facts. Maybe you stop swallowing the loads of bull that FOX News is feeding you.

I believe what was said during the Nancy Palin, Hillary Clinton skit was flurch.

According to The Urban Dictionary FLURCH is when you fart and accidentally soil your pants.

Also....

According to The Urban Dictionary FLURGE is a cross between a flush and a purge which doesn't make a lot of sense in the context of the skit.

Actually, the word may be flerg, which the urban dictionary defines as:

1.) The state of a man's penis when it is not erect.

2.) The foreskin of a man's penis. "man, that cold water sure gave me a flerg"

"aww dude, that bunk chick turned my wood to a flerg"

Oh My God!! Nancy? Nancy? Where have you been? its SARAH! LOL! It's okay! We all have our senior moments! I just try not to post mine on the world wide web!! LOL! Happy voting!!

It's OK to not know her name, after all, until recently, practically NO ONE in the consecutive USA knew who she was at all. I can't wait for a reporter to (get the chance to) ask her about dinosaurs or her plan to "Pray away the Gay." Talk about ignorance...

ah ... contiguous

nancy palin huh?

SARAH Palin.

nancy pelosi sarah palin mixup, same as seeing russia from alaska and getting international experience, i went to school with people from various nationalities therefore i am well-traveled? i dont believe some guncrazy moosenuteating dipshits want to elect this chick into office. imagine if she was prez and started target practicing at countries she thinks has WMD...Sarah Palin's WWIII.

LOLOL

Ole, Bill Clinton did wonders for the economy... I detest the man, but in his term, we had a surplus, not a deficit.

Actually its never been proven. There's a just a lot of evidence and correlations associated with it. I mean scientifically speaking, scientists in the world believe it is happening, due to the fact that there are strong links to pollution and ozone, polar ice caps melting being unable to reflect heat, and the sort, but it has never been "PROVEN"

FLURGE: verb: cross between "flush" and "purge." FLERG: noun: a flaccid penis. FLURCH: verb: when one farts and accidentally soils one's pants.

thats a shart retard

more names for the similar thing snailbrain

Surplus or less of a deficit?

Better than being an easily-lead Republican. I guess people who aren't able to form their own opinions (or are just too lazy to form them) need a political party as well.

Better than being an easily led Republican? First, you need to be able to spell, then you might be able to write a coherent sentence. You're the one being led by a democRat who has not one accomplishment since he's been in office. Oh, but he promises change...what kind of change? Taking money from the middle class, and redistributing it among whomever he sees fit? You want money of your own? GET YOURSELF A JOB! Remember Mr DemocRat, it's always America's fault first. If McCain hung out with domestic terrorists, racist preachers, or money launderers, those things would be first and foremost on your list of things to criticize him for. But you and the MSM won't say a word about because you're nothing more than lemmings. Feel free to jump over the cliff, and the rest of us will be better off.

Ya that's a good one. why the hell would anyone want to be a patriotic capitalist clinging to freedom? What idiots! Not like us indoctrinated Marxists who formed our opinions from our elitist professors who like to bomb our capital.

umm... huh? who exactly are these "elitist professors who like to bomb our capital" you're talking about? All my professors wanted was a better teaching facility...

easy lead republican huh? democrats are the ones that believe in global warming and save the rainforest and that crap. and u want a black man to be president or a woman. what are you guys thinking? its ur fault gas prices are so high and the economy is failing..

Anonymous wrote: "easy lead republican huh? democrats are the ones that believe in global warming and save the rainforest and that crap. and u want a black man to be president or a woman. what are you guys thinking? its ur fault gas prices are so high and the economy is failing.." Wow...I nominate that reply as the most ignorant thing I've read this month.

whoever wrote that thing you just quoted is the kind of person who is hurting the environment by just having their computer on! what a waste of power... :)

waoh woah woah. wtf

you don't want' a black guy to be President? What are you so afraid of?

wow a black man or a woman to be president...yeah what a horrible radical idea. you want to know why this country is in trouble...its because it is filled with ignorant biggots like the person who posted the above response. barak obama will be a great leader and hillary would have done just fine as well. it matters not about gender or race it matters how well the person is equiped to run the country. the idoit who posted the above message should not be allowed to procreate as his genes should be wipped from society. stop blinding following party propaganda and go out and get informed. look at the economic boom we saw in the previous administration and the shit hole we are in now. gas prices are at a record high while the oil companys are posting record profits. the does sound like democratic action to me. God bless America. Apperently we're going to need it.

Saving the rain forest and stopping global warming is something everyone should worry about no matter what political party they are in. If we don't help fix our planet there will be no place for a republican or a democrat to run. As for wanting a black person or a women to be president I say why not. Either is capable of running this nation. After all we let the Texas village idiot have a shot it can only get better from here.

Everyone is concerned about global warming but think for a minute, global warming has been going on since the beginning of time. Remember the Ice age (glabal warming). What we need to be concerned about and helping to reverse is climate change. Climate change is the result of our disregard for the environment.

its been going on since whenever but after the industrial revolution we humans made it worse. its not some thing that god is up there f'n with the thermostat, we're the ones choking the ozone and burning rainforest down and now we wanna take it to offshore drilling cuz no one wants to leave their oil 'comfort zone'?

Ummm... the appearance of ice ages are cyclical so sometimes we are getting hotter and sometimes cooler. We are actually in a relatively cool time period for the earth and, although I am not 100% sure of this, I believe the earth began at a very high temperature and is now much cooler.

Are you so arrogant as to think that mere people can change the climate of the Earth?? It proves that you do not believe in God or any higher intelligence. Don't you think that the Creator has everything regulated the way it should be?? You really should do some research yourself with an open mind and stop swallowing everything the real village idiot Gore is feeding you. Jeez. Idiot.

Gore was the one that should have won the 2000 election as more of the popular vote went to him; you are on the side of the retard who has been governing our country for the last 8 years, as opposed to the man that won the Nobel Peace Prize. oh and by the way, humans couldn't make much of a difference in the climate... 200 years ago. now that we have more than 6 billion of us, we sure as hell can.

Gore was the one that should have won the 2000 election as more of the popular vote went to him; you are on the side of the retard who has been governing our country for the last 8 years, as opposed to the man that won the Nobel Peace Prize.

Here's the funny thing: Even if you're somehow under the impression that there's an invisible hand that intercedes with a "plan" in these sorts of situations, it's worth pointing out that the same texts that handed you your belief system also specifically reference natural disasters as being God's righteous punishment for human misdeeds. So yes. Humanity is responsible for global warming whether you believe new science or a really old book.

funny lol

How can you research a book that has been rewritten so many times it has multiple versions. Organized religion is like reading your horoscope. You can make it fit any situation if you want. Take a look at our country. If you have kids, the future they have waiting for them is not looking good. I would suggest that you vote on some other base then abortion you idiot.

Ha....I think this is the smartest reply Ive read so far!!!

High Five!!! There is nowhere to go but up!!

I'm not entirely sure that's true...McCain is the antichrist. Georgie Jr. just fucked us over....but MCCAIN is the ANTICHRIST.

The anti Christ is someone like Obama - a person who not only wants to kill fetuses but a live born baby if it happens to survive the attempt made to murder it in the uterus. Obama is directly responsible for the deaths of babies in Illinois because he values emotion over morality

if people want to kill their babies, thats a personal choice. this isnt russia or germany in the 1920s goddamn it, this is not your choice cuz you wont help raise that child. if you wanna pop babies out 9 months after each other, thats your choice too. not mine or anybody elses.

100 Percent right Oboma is a killer

Did it ever dawn on either of you that both McCain and Obama are just people, trying to do their best within their interpretation of the world? This is very much as it has been for most of the past presidents, some may have had plans in place to achieve and wield power, but most were still trying to be seen as good men and good presidents. I'll bet virtually every one of them had many sleepless nights over the welfare of Americans endangered in some way. Really guys, this election's candidates are the closest in their beliefs than probably in any race before. Really, neither is going to change the status quo in anything more than a tiny way, so it doesn't really matter, both will do some good and both will do bad.

WOOOWWWWW. How about when your daughter gets raped? Well who knows you might want pedophile babies, whatever floats your boat i guess...

Let me guess...you heard that on FOX news? Yeah I thought so. Only Hannity and Limbaugh are ignorant enough to spew that nonsense. Have you read the bill or the section that describes any fetus, at any stage as having civil rights? Voting "yes" on that bill would have made abortion completely illegal in the state of IL because of that description, which was why it was written in the first place. While that might have pleased you, it wouldn't serve the vast majority of his constituents. Most people do not want abortion to be completely illegal. The bill was not needed as these infants are protected already by federal law. Need I remind you that the bill didn't pass? You act as though Obama was the one guy who opposed it. Nearly everyone did! It was written purely to fail to give Republicans an easy record attack on Dems in the IL Senate - to say they want to kill babies when that's obviously not true. Do you know anything about how legislation works and how it is used strategically to improve or damage political campaigns? Read a book or something - preferably one that wasn't written by anyone on Fox News' payroll.

I'm pretty sure it's actually people like you who are directly responsible for the death of unborn babies everywhere. When the rest of us hear the ridiculous arguments of religious American wingnuts, it makes us not want to have children.

Prey on someone else while you pray for yourself.

Okay. He never voted while senate. he was counted as present. never once did he vote. NOT ONCE. some brain he has. HA! OBAMA SUCKS!

pedophile babies????it that a new breed of human? a baby cannot be blamed for the "rape" of a daughter!! Is that the only justification you can come up with to abort. Are you so ignorant that you've never heard of adoption? Let face the real facts...99% of the time abortions are not performed on rape victims......they are performed as birth control!

Should we trust your opinion when you can't even spell "Obama"?

Yep. Because sometimes it's a better idea for everyone involved. Including the child. If you're a religious person (and I've yet to encounter a pro-life supporter who isn't), the majority of dogmas in this world would explain to you that that particular soul is just going to be born again somewhere else or go straight to heaven. Sounds preferrable to suffering through this mortal coil in what can sometimes be dire situations. So like I said. Sometimes it's a better idea for everyone involved.

do you even believe in Christ yet alone the AntiChrist? really

Democrats aren't the only ones who believe in global warming. Scientists who are not funded by oil companies believe in it too. I'm not sure what you mean about a black man or a woman running for president. You seem to be saying neither is capable. It appears you dropped your brain somewhere. Good luck finding it . . . check the sewer.

I'm sorry. It appears you dropped your brain somewhere.

well said, democrats should worry about the country getting out of debt, not saving a god damn tree

we should be more worried about global warming and saving trees because without trees or with global warming the world will fall apart and the ecosytem will fall apart and we will die. Yes, maybe not for many many years(like hundreds) but our childrin will have to live with all the Earth's problem and guess what? You cant eat money!!!

if they saved the trees, we wouldnt be in so much debt to oil countries. its not just one issue, they're all related. and its a shame to have been a republican for the last 8 years, if thats what you are.

perhaps you should look at what happened to our deficit under Clinton and what happened under Bush.

I think you are spelling it wrong. Look up phlurge or phlurg
