Today's Mitt-ism, on "global warming"

Playing to Florida's vast ranks of retirees, Romney also plugged his plan to abolish payroll taxes for people 65 and older. And he chided McCain for cosponsoring legislation aimed at fighting global warming, saying it would cost jobs and raise gasoline and electricity prices.

"Don't you understand, they don't call it American warming, they call it global warming," he shouted at the Sweetwater rally. "We don't need to have America have additional costs that the rest of the world doesn't bear."

4. Oh man, I'm going to be sounding like I'm siding with Mitt on this one. But by 2010 China will...

...be having higher emissions than the USA.

Ugh, I feel sick.

Oh, wait, I have the flu. I guess I get a pass? :P

6. Willard is a wind-up doll

reminds me of those stupid anchorpeople on that commercial where they run out of juice. That's Mittens. :puke:

In a way I hope he wins, he is a weakling. We will grill him like a marshmallow over a hot fire.
