I think when you ignore science and constantly go against it, you are anti science. I don't know what else to call it.
When the science has been politicized, when it has an agenda of figuring out the conclusion and then shaping the experiments to fit that conclusion, when it can't be replicated in controlled conditions, then it should be disputed. There are many theories in history that were considered "settled science" until they weren't....That's the nature of science. We are always learning more, and striving to learn more, and should. If you are going to tell me that nothing should be questioned, or debated considering mans involvement in what changes the planet is going through in terms of climate changing, if any, then I will continue to tell you that you are not arguing science at all, because science demands constant debate, and testing of theory.
As for McCain, he was better than Romney.
I don't think so...
At least MCCain once had a backbone and moral compass. I'd have voted for the old MCCain, before he sold out to the radical right.
And there it is...You liked the "Old McCain" before, you say, he "sold out" to the right....So, back in the time when conservatives were getting pissed off at him siding with liberals, and the liberal press all had a love affair with him for doing such, you liked him....So you only like those Republicans when they agree with Democrat policy and go against their own party to do demonstrate such....Hell, they might as well just change parties and be done with it...But thanks for proving what I have long said about you Joe.
Palin was his undoing though.
On that I would agree, but probably not for the same reasons as you think...I think that the voters were hungry for Palin and the straight forward punch she took right at liberals. Liberals immediately saw that as the threat it was, and how she was the draw at appearances, NOT McCain. McCain didn't like it, and tried to "handle" her, which divided the campaign, and gave Obama, and progressive libs the opening they needed to win....
The middle and not the left was the important group that wouldn't accept such incompetence.
You're right, but especially about the "middle"....The "incompetence" you are speaking of is that huge strategy mistake that I spoke of above...Obama should have been a breeze to defeat in '08. He was clearly NOT qualified to be President, and the vote turned into an emotional one instead of an informed one.
