This issue is destroying the GOP.

If we really know that AGW is a threat and if we really know that renewable energy is possible then by not buying into the package Republicans are becoming the reason for the apocalypse - not carbon dioxide.

Three weaknesses I see repeatedly in conservative trains of thought:
1. Motivated reasoning - they continually work to prove true to themselves their preconceived thoughts without experimentation. I borrow this from Chris Mooney.
2. Thinking to the drumbeat - just keep repeating Solyndra, Solyndra, Solyndra as if they are marching to a drum.
3. Vulnerable to the slightest distraction - speaking any sort of truth is enough to distract conservatives from the core of the problem. When the greenhouse effect becomes a problem they are distracted by sun cycles, planets warming in the solar system, the greenhouse effect of water, and the lack of toxicity in carbon dioxide. All these facts being true have no bearing on the greenhouse effect of carbon dioxide.
No offense intended to conservatives, but it cannot be ignored.

They resist evolution. It was when Clinton was impeached for a blowjob that I realized that these people are totally out of touch with reality. The GOP are the Anti Party: anti-science, anti-nature, anti-woman, anti-gay, anti-immigrant, anti-everything (besides old money). I would even go as far as to say they are antichrist!
