| Congressman Paul Ryan: Humans Might Not Be Cause of Climate Change |
| 2014-10-15 |
| [abSee] The planet has faced climate change forever and humans' pollution might not be to blame, Republican U.S. Rep. Paul Ryan said Monday during a debate against his Democratic challenger. Or again, they might. Ryan, favored to win re-election to his seat representing GOP-leaning southern Wisconsin, faced off against businessman Rob Zerban for an hourlong forum that touched on world events, domestic politics and the economy. One of the sharpest differences came when the moderator asked each candidate if he thought human activity is to blame for changes to the planet's climate. All human activity is bad. Reflective cognizance is particularly onerous. We'll do your thinking for you. "I don't know the answer to that question," Ryan said. "I don't think science does, either." Don't know? What you mean you don't know? They're snagging Salmon shoulder to shoulder in Kenosha. Lead treble hooks everywhere. People are contaminants too! Look at that row of porta-Johnies. Some are even peeing in cans. You can't rule them out entirely, even if you're a Wisconsin pub. |

| #12 Thanks Mullah. Having gone to your link and read what Ryan has to say I have confirmed my suspicions. He says "no amnesty" but then later he says he wants to give them a chance to "get right with the law". Instead of deporting them he wants to put them on probation. It's a croc of crap. He can be right about everything else but if he's wrong about amnesty it won't matter because his party will become a permanent minority. Morons like him have already lost states like California, New Mexico and Colorado. They are on the way to turning Arizona and Texas blue. When Texas goes blue this country is toast. |

| #10 Madness: the CDC will not allow US health care workers who treated Ebola patients mass transit but the welcome mat is still out at our border for random sickies from hot zones in West Africa. |

| #9 The new definition of 'madness'....Ebola "self-monitory." |

| #8 I consider myself a libertarian but libertarians are nuts regrading the border. They want open borders and an end to the welfare state. Fine, but you've gotta end the welfare state first. That is madness. |

| #6 What's your beef with Ryan, Jim? I dunno about Jim but the last I heard Ryan is pro-amnesty and I have a problem with that. |

| #2 I blame that big bright object in the sky observed during daytime. Of course there's nothing you can do about it and you just can't use it as an excuse to loot the sheeple of their resources and liberties. |
