Oh, Rick. Rick, Rick, Rick.

Apparently Rick Santorum believes that Democrates made up global warming to waste money and make everyone give up luxuries (or "freedoms" as Ron Paul called them). It's true, Rick. You caught 'em. And I bet they were wringing their hands and cackling at the Secret Meeting Of EvilDoers you snuck into. It's a good thing you're here, Rick. To say things that kind of make me giggle, and kind of make me fear that one day you could be our nation's leader:

"I believe the Earth gets warmer, and I also believe the Earth gets cooler. And I think history points out that it does that, and that the idea that man, through the production of CO2 — which is a trace gas in the atmosphere, and the man-made part of that trace gas is itself a trace gas — is somehow responsible for climate change is, I think, just patently absurd when you consider all the other factors, El Niño, La Niña, sunspots, moisture in the air. ... To me, this is an opportunity for the left to create — it's really a beautifully concocted scheme because they know that the Earth is gonna cool and warm."
