Precisely-

If the purpose of this thread is to discuss global warming then yeah, Kevin, my post is a non-sequiter and I apologize. However, I interpreted the topic of this thread to be about the hypocrisy of a politician/statesman and in that vein my post is on topic.

Considering the lead sentence in the OP:

I would say that your interpretation of this thread topic to be spot on.

So would I.

This is an opinion piece written by a self-described liberal basher. The author makes no attempt to investigate alternative explanations for Gore's actions, choosing to only promote the explanation that supports his bias.

Bolding mine.

Are you sure about this? You admitted that you still listen to Rush Limbaugh even though he has certainly shown himself to be a hypocrite on certain issues.

This thread just isn't the same without scaeagles.

He publically changed his life and behavior- You show me the same of Gore- and then I will reconsider my comment.

Still don't see how you made that transition. This thread is about Al Gore and his position on a green planet and his hypocritical actions. It isn't even to debate global warming. It is about the credibility of an individual - Al Gore.

Aw c'mon... Limbaugh's just damn funny!

Heh - we all listen to those who tell us what we want to hear and ignore our own hipocrisies, prefereing instead to find logical justifications to explain how we feel.
