Global Warming Idiots.
Lets see they live in a 25,000 sq ft house and fly charter planes, but in order to do their part in saving the planet she will "buy local". What a noble deed, are these people for real!!!
I think Hillary is the sane one among the bunch of Democrats running for President, the rest are kooks and moonbats.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The politics of global warming got very concrete, and oddly difficult, In a meeting with local environmentalists in the coastal town of McClellanville today, where Elizabeth Edwards raised in passing the importance of relying on locally-grown fruit.
"We've been moving back to 'buy local,'" Mrs. Edwards said, outlining a trade policy that "acknowledges the carbon footprint" of transporting fruit.
"I live in North Carolina. I'll probably never eat a tangerine again," she said, speaking of a time when the fruit is reaches the price that it "needs" to be.
Edwards had talked about "sacrifice," at the meeting, but Elizabeth's suggestion illustrated just how difficult it is to sell the specifics of sacrifice.
Asked about her comment immediately after the event, Edwards avoided the question twice, then said he isn't sure.
"Would I add to the price of food?" he asked. "I'd have to think about that."
UPDATE: Just to be clear, he's not talking about a food tax. The basic point is that any plan that imposes new costs on carbon emissions is going to make anything that's transported long distances with fossil fuels cost more. It is, in a way, a moment of clarity in this debate.

All of the Democratic candidates, and at least half of the Republican candidates (if not more), need to take an Econ 101 class from Professor Ron Paul.

Speaking of lunatics. This is funny.. Why is it that the wackier the group, the less attractive their ladies are??
The powerline quote at the bottom is priceless.

Last night, the Hillary Clinton for President Campaign celebrated the opening of its new San Francisco headquarters with a party coinciding with the Democratic presidential debate. Far-out antiwar groups Breasts Not Bombs and Code Pink infiltrated the party to stage a topless protest--against Hillary, I guess, but I'm not sure why. Anyway, the tireless Zombie picked up word of the impending protest on the web, and was there to record the event, here.

Warning: it's not safe for work, or, really, anything else. But it does prompt this thought: isn't it a bad thing for a political movement if its core members are, in large part, stark, raving mad? Wouldn't you expect people to notice, and react adversely? And if so, will this start to happen some time soon?

Except for the oftentimes silly gossip and the bias for using hot topics for their propaganda, all politicians, indifferent to which political party they belong to, are blamably in sense of environmental pollution. This is occupational (frequently business trips) and they are not the only occupation group. There are many people with other jobs, which have the same problem of frequently business trips. And by the way, big houses are not necessarily environmentally unfriendly, it´s dependent on the design of the building.
