Yesterday on CBS Evening News, each of the 10 leading presidential candidates will be asked, “Do you think the risks of climate change are at all overblown?” According to an advance transcript, every single candidate acknowledges the threat — except Mike Huckabee and Fred Thompson.
Huckabee responds that “scientifically,” he doesn’t know whether global warming is “overblown.” Thompson goes a step further, claiming that the “state of entitlements” and “extremists” who “want to do drastic things to our economy” are the real problems:
THOMPSON: There are a lot of unanswered questions. We don’t know to the extent this is a cyclical thing. This may or may not effect very much. The extremists are the ones who want to do drastic things to our economy before we have more answers as to how much good we can do and whether people in the other parts of the world are going to contribute. It’s the fact that our entitlements are bankrupting the next generation. We’re spending the money of those yet to be born and we can’t continue that way.

These to idiots would know Global Warming if it bit them in the butt. Grampa Fred still thinks Nixon is President and Huckaberry is stealing and talking to God. Now we all know the God Huck is talking to as insane people do that often. Didn't the Evangelist Pastors talk to God as they to were stealing and lying.
One would hope Americans are smarter then that now that Karl has used Religion and God to do crimes for the current Administration.
