“First of all, when it comes to climate change, there’s been scientific arguments on both sides of the issues,” he said. “But you know, if you want a tiebreaker, …”
Well, of COURSE you need a tiebreaker - “arguments on both sides” means it’s a 50/50 split among scientists, right? Right???
You guys should hear the Republican radio/tv campaign ads down here. OMFG!
wait. i thought ender wiggin was “the one.”
Hmmm. This guy doesn’t agree.
“I understand why Obama thinks he can change the weather — because he thinks he’s God. He thinks he is the smartest person in the country. He thinks he knows better in Washington what we do in Texas. He thinks he’s the one, through all of his executive orders, that Congress isn’t even up to his level, so I’m not surprised that he also thinks he can change the weather.”
Jeez, give this guy a pillow to cry into. This is one of the most pathetic cases of Obama Derangement Syndrome I’ve ever read about…
The Drowning Man
A fellow was stuck on his rooftop in a flood. He was praying to God for help.
Soon a man in a rowboat came by and the fellow shouted to the man on the roof, “Jump in, I can save you.”
The stranded fellow shouted back, “No, it’s OK, I’m praying to God and he is going to save me.”
So the rowboat went on.
Then a motorboat came by. "The fellow in the motorboat shouted, “Jump in, I can save you.”
To this the stranded man said, “No thanks, I’m praying to God and he is going to save me. I have faith.”
So the motorboat went on.
Then a helicopter came by and the pilot shouted down, “Grab this rope and I will lift you to safety.”
To this the stranded man again replied, “No thanks, I’m praying to God and he is going to save me. I have faith.”
So the helicopter reluctantly flew away.
Soon the water rose above the rooftop and the man drowned. He went to Heaven. He finally got his chance to discuss this whole situation with God, at which point he exclaimed, “I had faith in you but you didn’t save me, you let me drown. I don’t understand why!”
To this God replied, “I sent you a rowboat and a motorboat and a helicopter, what more did you expect?”
You could add 97% of climate scientists to the list.
We’re never going to convince that last 25% of Americans that climate change is real. We’re spinning our wheels arguing over whether it’s real. Time to move on to how to fix the problem, and how to beat the science deniers politically. Patrick’s Democratic opponent is Leticia Van de Putte, who I assume is a climate realist. Give her some help. Patrick is likely to win as Republican as Texas still is, but getting close when a blowout is expected still matters. http://www.leticiavandeputte.com/
Texas lawmaker thinks he’s a big boy because he can change his own underpants. Now, if only Danny could learn not to crap in them during his nap time…
Even stupid is bigger in Texas.
He looks like Wayne Newton.
Note: Remind me to tell you my Wayne Newton story sometime.
Keep talking GOPidiots.
Keep talking.
Weather is not climate and climate is not weather.
Excellent. Exactly the story I was thinking of!
True to the mentality inhabiting those who actually take the time to come out to vote in Texas, this man will doubtlessly be re-elected.
How’s that secession thing going, Texas - anything the rest of us can do to speed up the process?
I have something even more insane–his governor asked people to pray for rain. The President has a better chance of changing global climate change than lil Ricky’s God has of making it rain.
Dan Patrick is proud of his willful science illiteracy, not only on climate change, but also as a supporter of the teaching of creationism in public schools. Science is expendable if it potentially inconveniences business (climate change) or contradicts rightwing religious beliefs (creationism.)
And so proud in fact that he offers the juvenile pronouncement that “Obama thinks he can change the weather — because he thinks he’s God.”
I think this guy is confused. Obama is the President. And this jackass apparently doesn’t respect us the voters enough to listen.
I’m not going to say that was one loud dog whistle but Donald Sterling was offline and he suddenly became very agitated.
I couldn’t make up a story about someone so stupid.
