Fred Thompson gave an impressive interview on FOX today (or maybe it was yesterday and i just saw it). should be interesting to see how he does in the debates.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Sep 3, 2007 -> 08:54 PM) how John Edwards gets a "Get out of hypocrisy free" card he has the magic (D) next to his name

QUOTE(Reddy @ Sep 3, 2007 -> 08:24 PM) why should he give up the things that he's EARNED in his life just because he uses MORE energy than the average american? Because, according to him, using the amount of energy that a large house like that requires will end up contributing to the deaths of billions of people. why would he want do something so horrible? why would you trust him to get anything done on pollution? he can't even convince himself to conserve, how would he convince anyone else?

Eckstein? wtf

QUOTE(NUKE @ Sep 2, 2007 -> 09:44 AM) Why? Why should we allow these sanctimonious politicians to exude sacrifice of the rest of us while they gleefully exempt themselves from their own rules? You think John Edwards is going to give up his private jets or his fleet of cars? If he's so damn worried about the environment he should fly commercial, have his mansion turned into wetlands while he moves into a 1000 sq ft home and take public transportation everywhere he goes. But, but, he raises awareness long time no post, good to hear from you Mr.Nuke

this is still the MSM top news story. we get it, a GOP Senator is gay.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Aug 30, 2007 -> 09:59 PM) Unfortunately...your President refuses to acknowledge the existence of anthropogenic climate change, and has failed to set up a carbon offset trading system in this country. Therefore...in order to have that plan work, you'll have to move to Europe. oh man, i knew it was too good to be true

QUOTE(JERMAINEDYE4MVP @ Aug 30, 2007 -> 08:41 PM) MY CAPSLOCK KEY HAS BEEN STUCK EVER SINCE I SPILL MT DEW ON IT 4 YEARS AGO. lol some kid kept posting about Barry Bonds and I told him to "trade Barry to the Sox on your Nintendo" or something like that and i got banned 2 weeks, but captain caps lock is still untouchable

QUOTE(NorthSideSox72 @ Aug 30, 2007 -> 07:32 PM) Well... the team has hit rock bottom. I suppose we shouldn't be surprised that the threads have too. Between this one and CAPS MAN the board looks like a tornado of crap hit it. This thread is awesome

QUOTE(Mplssoxfan @ Aug 30, 2007 -> 07:28 PM) Well, you might be able to buy a nicer bike. na the creation of new bikes creates carbon, so i will keep using my old one and sell those credits too

Brain Anderson is waaay better! WOOO!

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Aug 30, 2007 -> 11:10 AM) an appropriately built carbon offset market which the wealthy treat as a charity is actually one way to get started. Imagine all the Carbon Credits homeless people could sell! they barely ever drive an SUV!

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Aug 30, 2007 -> 10:36 AM) Well, I know this will spark the whole debate about carbon offsets again and whether or not the systems currently set up work Actually, I am thinking about selling some carbon credits. I live close to work and ride my bike there. Sooooo, I figure I can sell the amount of carbon I would have created if I lived 40 miles from work and drove. I should send Mr.Edwards an email telling him I can sell him some Mr_g carbon credits. Then we can both go on Good Morning America and brag about how great we are, even though we haven't really accomplished anything.

QUOTE(BigSqwert @ Aug 29, 2007 -> 04:35 PM) So apparently the next environmental bill that comes up for vote in the House or Senate should be first addressed like this: "Unless you're only means of transportation is a solar powered go-cart you cannot vote on this bill." I mean seriously, based on your logic no politician can ever vote for any environmental legislation or speak about the environment because they all drive cars and SUVs and have homes that use electricity. Not at all. They can vote for enviromental legislation, and they should also stop polluting themselves. Just like Michael Vick can donate money to help dogs, but he should also stop abusing them. Edwards is running for president... a position ,which to be successful at, requires strong leadership skills. He is showing none. Obviously he doesn't care about the enviroment, because if he did he would make major changes to stop his carbon emission levels. He is pandering for votes.

QUOTE(BigSqwert @ Aug 29, 2007 -> 04:25 PM) What exactly is he doing that is above and beyond what another politician might be doing? And why does this have to be a partisan issue? If Rudy or Mitt had the same message I would be just as happy to hear it. I know for a fact that every candidate running for President has a larger carbon footprint than I do. That doesn't mean that I don't want them to speak out for the environment. If he really believes that there will be a global disaster because of global warming, but still creates a huge amount of carbon, he truly is an an asshole. Not the kind of person I want to be president. He is part of the problem, not the solution. It is very easy to point the finger at everyone else and decide that you have earned to right to be a major polluter. Basically, this is the attitude that most people have. It's everyone elses fault and they are not going to change any aspect of their life.

QUOTE(Texsox @ Aug 29, 2007 -> 04:07 PM) I don't think it is fair to compare him to a "normal" American. Compare him to other Senators, CEOs, peers in his group. But all those people are evil earth destroyers, Texsox. John Edwards, the enviromental crusader, should certainly hold himself to higher standards.

QUOTE(BigSqwert @ Aug 29, 2007 -> 04:17 PM) Lifestyle? I was not aware that on weekends he collects old tires and throws then into his backyard where he has an eternally burning tire fire. My bad. Tire fires are the only source of pollution. You sir, are a god among men.

QUOTE(Texsox @ Aug 29, 2007 -> 04:12 PM) He needs to adopt an Amish lifestyle and use zero energy . . . He's not even close to average American or average Senator on the amount of pollution he creates. So, going to zero energy would be amazing. Honestly, how about just live a lifestyle that is as destructive to the enviroment as the average American, John? That would be a big enough improvement. BTW, he's not even a Senator any more, just a rich douche bag creating tons of pollution and then preaching about how everyone should drive their family around in a Yugo.
