Taunting the Ole Republicants

So I go to Stew's site, because this is the only place where I can have an insight into what is happening in my only brother's life, and find this post about how the Democrats are all rich millionaires and don't care about the people and high gas prices.
He has a link to footage of the House standoff (which I was following on my own) where the Republicans want to vote on opening up off-shore drilling, you know, the usual Republican funded oil industry handout to help them "develop" our coastal areas. They are ranting and acting like a bunch of sophomores in high school. Never mind that Bush senior was the one to enact the moratorium in the first place. This is a pure political stunt. But how could the Republicans use the House of the United States of America for political purposes? Well they can't now that they are in the minority. So they stage a sit-in and make theater. But what they don't want you to think about is the contribution from the oil industry to the Republicans.
Here is the breakdown for 2008 thus far:
Democrats received:$4,796,968
Republicans received:$13,571,049
That is 26% to the Democrats and 74% to the Republicans.
Not very balanced is it?
But WAIT! It gets even more betterer!
In 2006 it looked like this:
Democrats received:$3,576,445
Republicans got:$16,570,858
Which is a 18% democrat vs. 82% republican pattern in cash coming from the oil industry to Republicans to advocate for them with regards to energy policy.
So no wonder the republicans want to promote oil exploration and extraction. After receiving 30 million give or take a few hundred thousand I might be tempted to vote for oil exploration in my brother's strap on vagina. Did I say might? I mean HELL YEAH I WOULD!!!
If I were a Rapebulican that is.
So I can't get any rational discourse (surprise!) from any one on his site. It is just comments about how I buy into the boracle (?) well here it is "by buying into the PROVEN lies of the boracle, you are contributing to the absurdity'
So Al Gore never ever entered my comments. I didn't give her any indication that I was basing anything I said on Al Gore's umm ideology I guess.
It is interesting that conservative sheeple tend to resort to catch phrases and cliches when they have nothing of substance and can't address a point directly. Historically it has been that Clinton was fellated in the office and lied about it. Now it seems like any time a point regarding the environment or American policy therein is mentioned they can't stop sputtering about Al Gore. How he is a hypocrite etc...
In rational terms this is called a "Red Herring" It is used when no actual content can be brought to bear on the argument and so all one can do is try to distract from the premise.
It is a weak tactic and shows a lack of thought, understanding and is really disrespectful.
So I'm sorry that when faced with the truth that is troubling you "conservatives" would rather resort to calling Al Gore a liar and pointing out that California killed the EV1 through regulation.
That is just so sad.
Meanwhile oil industry profits rose another 37 billion percent... beaches from California to Alaska are fouled with black sticky tar balls and dead birds, fish and mammals...
But I am the one who needs to "up my meds"
