Posted on Mar 31, 2008

Al Gore’s Alliance for Climate Protection has launched a $300-million ad campaign in hopes of getting every last SUV-driving, thermostat-cranking Bush voter to see the fluorescent light. Warm monger William H. Macy narrates the first of what will surely be many ads.

Al - each time I see you I notice your own carbon footprint keeps getting larger (as in lose about 50lbs). Life must be very good on the BS banquet circuit.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again - please just go away.

So you really don’t expect a corrupt pin head like al gore,too fritter away the money on anything actually useful do you?
That would be a break with the 8years he was backup for the war criminal clinton(unindited-STILL!)
I beleive we may have had one break-This at least is 300 M$ he WON’T be pissing away on ‘Safe’nucs,’clean’coal’or bio wennie gm fuel crops.
If anyone can convince him to help the planet by putting a bullet thru his own head-please tell him we won’t mind if he arranges too sterilize surgicially any get before he does it.One can’t be too careful in these matters-ask barbra bush.

This speaks for itself. Its such a scam, he has to try and market it you to get you to buy into it.

Every bit of data cited that blames you for global warming is a sham. Sun spots have the greatest impact on this issue.

But you dont hear ol Al talking this up. He cant scam the sun or make money off it. You bad humans. You must pay for it and make ol Al rich!

This rivals the scam of scientology!!!!

First of all, WWII was a LIHAP(Let it happen on purpose) event involving Pearl Harbor, and second of all I don’t think those astronauts ever made it to the moon in those thin metal skinned space ships. The Van Allen belt will cook a man like a microwaved TV dinner. Von Braun even mentioned this awesome obstacle. Also why is it those photos of the earth from moon never show any stars? I am afraid we all got wheezed on that moon program. Sorry to have tell you this, but y’all got rooked.

Those bulbs are filled with mercury. Break one one and you will need a hazmat team to clean up your house for at least $2000.00. No joke. I am sticking with the old fashioned kind that burn more calories worth of coal.

“every last SUV-driving, thermostat-cranking Bush voter”

Are the legions of limosine-liberals included in his target demographic, or do they get a free pass?

Why can rich but (finally) enlightened people like Gore put something like Fox news together so the communication is more “sustainable?” Why throw money on ads that actually enrich corporations that are fundamentally against the progressive agenda???
