I would assume he cloned himself for further attention- if not, then yeah, kinda childish & unnecessary.

I mean to say that we must conserve the environment, as in regulate & limit ocean dumping of crap that kills fish, and, in turn, us. Curtail deforestation (particularly the Amazon, which cleans our air, we kinda need it).
Like that.
To be truly Conservative means that you don't advocate pissing away your long term *needed* resources in favour of short term gain.

thats " environmentally Conservative ? "


that is what I thought...

but the last republican president had a rather different view

http://www.historycommons.org/project.jsp?project=bush_enviro_record


it should be the conservatives who lose it on his record, especially on environmental issues


So how Bush and Cheney and their ilk not called to account to their own base ?

CPAC shouldn't be welcoming them to speak, rather calling them to account...


the words Conservative, and Republican shouldn't be used to describe the folk running the right anymore...

Just call them the corporate interests party and be done with it

But I don't see HOW he would have "cloned himself" - it really IS a different username, it would seem, and an account just created today, while the real Rappy has been here since '04.

And I tried it on my own username, and I couldn't get it to go. I'm concerned - not just for Rappy, but for all of us here. It has the appearance of a breach of security that I don't think any of us would be happy about if it happened to us.

I'll scrap with the guy, I'll get in a knock-down drag-out fight, but crap like this just isn't right. There are RULES to war, you know. :)

And at last you realize what the C's in CPAC stand for... Corporate Political Action Corporation!


Why else did you think they all lined up to speak there?

Click on the new one's username and it comes up like so:

"AUrapt0r"

So that's how I'm assuming they got around it, with the 0 instead of the O.

See, this is where tech dinosaurs like me who used to collate punch cards come in handy.

It's a zero, Mikey.

RAPT0R instead of RAPTOR.

Neither one is Kosher, but only one is fake.
