When Boxer, et al investigate this allegation and if they find it to be true, then the title of the thread will have some merit. Now it has none.

It's not like the White House is refusing to acknowledge the facts, by doing ridiculous things like refusing to open emails from EPA scientists, so they can say they were never informed about the facts behind global warming.

Oh, wait a minute, I take that back
http://www.nytimes.com/2008/06/25/washington/25epa.html

Because if they were informed that greenhouse gases were pollutants, then they would be legally bound to do something about it. So they acted like the dignified people they are, they refused to open the email, put their hands over their ears and chanted "nah nah nah, I can't hear you, what are you saying nah nah nah, nope I never heard about greenhouse gases"

I can't speak for "righties" but I can say that your suggestion wouldn't prove that the premise is bogus. Even supposing Cheney did have some commitment to the environment, that wouldn't really apply as evidence that his Office didn't seek to manipulate Congressional testimony related to greenhouse gases and public health. And, since those examples you seek are most likely nonexistant, I want to note that their nonexistance doesn't act as evidence that Cheney's Office did manipulate or censor testimony.

I can't tell exactly what the premise of the thread is, but going by the title, it seems to be that "Cheney censored global-warming facts," which is bogus because the thread provided nothing to back up such an assertion.

LOL!!! If they don't open the email then they don't have to deal with it!

Although the Supreme court did say they are legally bound to do something about it.

But Bush and Cheney are the supreme leaders, the executive branch, above and beyond any other branches, above the law.

And we are letting them get away with it.

No, Sam, all three branches have power. Not the same power, but a balance.

If you have no confidence in the system on which the USA was founded and its ability to self-correct, I feel sorry for you.

When did I defend them? I merely pointed out that the article states that it's an accusation, and that libs will suck in and swallow anything any lib has to say, providing it's negative about the right.

This is an accusation. Until it's proven to be more than an accusation, the title of the thread is false and should be edited...

So not having a deep commitment equates to censoring?

How's that work?

What would be ideal is if the OP could provide examples of how Cheney has actually censored anything. Of course, we don't expect that, nor would we expect you to suggest it, so we won't hold our breath...

How can you say that i believe the lies with a straight face when you believe in global warming?

Seriously though, try explainning it to me, this should be good....

Don't you remember all the stories a few years back about how the Bush admin was censoring and changing the scientific documents about global warming? Well I'm not surprised it's happening again. Are you?

OK I guess you need more news stories on this particular science censorship.

Here they are.

To deny Cheney masterminded this, after the Bush admin's already been caught censoring science, is like denying I'm a Bush basher. LOL!!!!!

They did?

Exactly, its all your fault...

Don't be so modest, you like bashing the troops, women who take care of their own finances etc, you're much more than just a Bush basher.

just running with that theme from the OP.

you should have hit the link, the antarctic is expanding.

They've been censoring the science for 8 years!

Why were 6 pages cut from the report?

What a coincidence!

How can you people defend such a dastardly duo?

I do believe we are defending the process, not any person.
