Our Ron Paul Meetup group was doing a gun show, and one of the guys in our group pointed this out to those who passed by our Meetup's table. He would then ask the people if they would be there if it were a "knife and trinket show". He said it was pretty effective. When it comes to climate change, I hear many people say that this is the most important issue of our time. The people sure have been sold a pack of nonsense. “McCain has mediocre ratings from the National Rifle Association and Gun Owners of America.”

In my view, opposition to the climate change movement has done a <em>horrible</em> job of convincing the public of anything regarding the reality, or lack thereof, of climate change and its causes. Ron Paul and Butler Shaffer have done a fair job trying, but frankly I think that their arguments are too nuanced and philosophical to provide any political utility. In the absence of a principled <em>and</em> practical stand by the opposition, the American public will continue to expect politicians to do something about climate change, even if the policy options are miserable failures. This is the political reality that phonies like McCain et al. appreciate. And although climate change is not showing up on the top of lists of voter concerns, I suspect that continuing failure to form a coherent message regarding the risks of government action on climate change will be yet another thorn in the side of "conservatives" this year.

How about having him on your show? Note below to Pat Robertson, John Hagee and Mike Huckabee from your boss: "But if the watchman sees the enemy coming and doesn’t sound the alarm to warn the people, he is responsible for their captivity. They will die in their sins, but I will hold the watchman responsible for their deaths" http://www.newswithviews.com/baldwin/baldwin426.htm

When Ghouliani, the Thompson twins, John The Breck Girl Edwards, Sam Brownbottom and all those other clowns dropped outta the race the media didn't say they "suspended" their campaigns. Saying the campaign is suspended implies that it may be re-started. So why did the mainstream media use the term suspend instead of saying that Romney was ending his campaign?
