Climate Skeptics Want Rick Perry To Run, Not Big Christie Fans | TPMDC
Marc Marano [sic], a former staffer to Sen. James Inhofe (Washington's climate change skeptic-in-chief) and editor of Climate Depot, a popular climate change skeptic blog, kicked off the 2012 talk at a panel called "Public Policy Realities" at the Heartland Conference Thursday.
...
"People always say 'Chris Christie! Chris Christie!'" Murano [sic] said. "On energy policy all he talks about is banning coal and putting offshore windmills in New Jersey. He couldn't be more clueless when it comes to climate and energy. Another very dangerous man when it comes to this issue."
...
After his talk, he told TPM that he's a Perry man.

if I'm reading this right, the claim is that Perry's denial of global warming is what compelled him to join the race. *Sigh* It's going to be a long summer.

He argued that America’s loss of exceptionalism has resulted from an inability to adapt to the tech revolution, to globalization, to debt and deficit issues, and to climate change initiatives.

Bull,

We gave China PNTR in Oct of 2000 and since then, we've had the largest ever drop in manufacturing jobs since the 1940's:

Both the Republican House and Clinton signed PNTR but Clinton did it after it was reported that he and the DNC had taken illegal contributions from the communist Chinese government in the 90's. I believe Clinton may have given China PNTR as payback for those contributions. Clinton (and Gore) also tried to get us to sign on to Kyoto where some say (such as Cass Sunstein) that America would have payed the bulk of the International financial transfers and that China (and India) would have been the recipients of the bulk of this international wealth redistribution.

We're simply being economically gutted (moving our jobs overseas) and this is being done to reduce poverty in other nations. You can lay a large part of the blame for this on the World Bank (as well as the IMF and UN), all entities created out of FDR's communist infested administration.
