Science takes a beating in early presidential campaign
Darwinism versus intelligent Design always ends in a slugfest of competing religious beliefs.
Argue away, but a priori beliefs will not concede on either side.
On the other hand AGW arguments and the remedies pushed are a matter of science data and fact. There is no substantial evidence, none, that AGW is catastrophic, is occurring in any significant fashion, is dependent on CO2 production by fossil fuel use. It is a political argument fostered by those pining to change the social and economic status quo and a means of funding ever bigger government by those compelled to boss others about. The data is unclear in it's meaning and even in it's objective reliability. The Theory of AHG is built from extrapolation and computer models many of which are kept hidden behind proprietary pay walls and prohibitions.
In short neither the data or the models are verifiable, and the whole carbon trading and taxing scheme has been virtually abandoned as proponents run from debate and to sparsely attended pep rallies in secluded and pricey locales with great dining venues for the corpulent attendees including the Man-Bear-Pig when he comes out of seclusion long enough to jet to the scene of the latest green tryst whilst consuming tons of jet fuel, lobster, and Hollywood celebrity wives.

Debt history
Anna,
Debt has increased in Republican Years and Democrat years. Debt has increased in an accelerating fashion since 1900. In the G. W. bush years debt increased at the federal level 545 billions per year. So far in the Obama Era Debt has increased 1.7 trillion per year, a three fold increased rate over Bush's drunken sailor spending rate. So what's the point? Obama is three times more reckless than Bush?
By the way, Obama, Reid, Schumer, Pelosi, all did the responsible thing and voted against the debt ceiling increase under Bush. Shouldn't both Republicans and Democrats do the same thing now? if not why not?
Are you using a double standard? Umm, Bush heap bad. Obama heap good?
