Sat, 28 Jun 2008 18:29:43 GMT

As I've argued before, conservatives often have the advantage in elections and policy battles because of their tendency to enforce greater message discipline and coordination. The latest example is James Inhofe who for a decade has been perhaps the most visible and loudest voice of climate denial. But now as his party's presidential nominee John McCain uses action on climate change as...

Stubborness Is No Virtue, Mr. Inhofe (blue oklahoma - Front Page)

Supporters of Sen. James Inhofe like to tout his "stubborness" for refusing to budge from his position that the scientific research pointing to a human cause for global warming, if not global warming itself, is the "greatest hoax ever perpetrated on the American people." He holds to this despite the fact that all but a handful of the world's scientific community dedicated to studying...

Inhofe Loves War -- Not Vets (blue oklahoma - Front Page)

Our far right extremist senator, James Inhofe is known mostly as a Climate Change Denier but that barely scratches the surface of what's wrong with Inhofe. For someone who is so aggressively pro-war, he's incredibly anti-veteran and anti-service member. Here's some facts: 1. The Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America looked at his voting record and gave him a D-. 2. Inhofe...
