Clinton Links GOP Policies to More Storms
2006-06-13
The shameless master liar strikes again
As Tropical Storm Alberto threatened to strengthen into the ninth hurricane in 22 months to affect Florida, former President Clinton predicted Monday that Republican environmental policies will lead to more severe storms.
Personally, I think it's the wind from Dem politicians, but what the hell do I know?
"It is now generally recognized that while Al Gore and I were ridiculed, we were right about global warming," Clinton said at a fundraiser for the Florida Democratic Party. "It's a serious problem. It's going to lead to more hurricanes."
"The greenhouse gas building from both of us speaking on tour will overcome any technological advances"
Gore's documentary, "An Inconvenient Truth," chronicles the former vice president's efforts to educate the public about global warming. It's in limited release around the country.
just like Bill!
In his critique of the GOP, Clinton also touched on the war in Iraq, the rising federal deficit and high health care costs. The crowd of about 500 greeted him with loud applause and shouts of "We love you, Bill!" and "Four more years!"
"pass the koolaid!"
Jeff Sadosky, spokesman for the state Republican Party, decried Clinton's rhetoric. "Bill Clinton's class warfare and race-baiting message gets us no closer to solutions for the issues he brings up," he said. Sadosky referred in part to Clinton's comments earlier this month in Arizona. At that event, Clinton characterized Republican Party leaders as right-wing, white Southerners.

#5  Just when you think this rapist felon asshat has said his last ridiculous thing, he says shit like this.

Oh, and by the way Bill, what does 'generally recognized' mean? Does it mean you and your ilk got every liberal progressive 'scientist' to agree with you? E S & D.

#2  There was no bad weather while I was President!

Except that in a survey taken at westher.com in Dec, 1999, 7 of the ALL-TIME top 20 storms to that date occurred while you were "dicking around" playing President... 1993 through 2000. In fact, 5 of the Top 10 were on your watch:

Survey Results
1. 1992 Hurricane Andrew (28.6%)
2. 1969 Hurricane Camille (27.0 %)
3. 1900 Galveston Hurricane (18.6 %)
4. 1989 Hurricane Hugo (18.5 %)
5. 1996 Blizzard of '96 (18.2 %)
6. 1993 March 12-15 Superstorm (17.6 %)
7. 1999 Hurricane Floyd Floods (15.7 %)
8. 1993 Mississippi River Flood (15.6 %)

Were you personally blamed? No, of course not - we weren't infected with BDS, then. Pandering, posturing, preening asshole.

#1  "Environmental policies" > MAN IS/MUST CONTROL GOD = SUN = UNIVERSE, etal. just as Mankind failed to know, let alone stop, the NORWAY METEOR, etal. Don't go around arguing that Man is God-Universe but then PYWAR-INTEL's psychics can't do a simple thing like divert a meteor from crashing into Scandinavia! "Man is God" > becomes "God Save Us" but God afterward still has to do what Man tells/demands God to do. NO NATION ON EARTH = NO SPACE ALIEN, ETC CONTROLS GABRIEL'S SWORD.
