I've seen political posts on here before, so I hope this isn't too out of line. Just something that was sent to me that I found interesting. Hopefully not too many people mind...
A Tale of Two Houses
House #1 A 20 room mansion ( not including 8 bathrooms ) heated by
natural gas. Add on a pool ( and a pool house) and a separate guest
house, all heated by gas. In one month this residence consumes more
energy than the average American household does in a year. The average
bill for electricity and natural gas runs over $2400. per month. In
natural gas alone, this property consumes more than 20 times the
national average for an American home. This house is not situated in a
Northern or Midwestern 'snow belt' area. It's in the South.

House #2
Designed by an architecture professor at a leading national university.
This house incorporates every 'green' feature current home construction
can provide. The house is 4,000 square feet ( 4 bedrooms ) and is
nestled on a high prairie in the American southwest. A central closet
in the house holds geothermal heat-pumps drawing ground water through
pipes sunk 300 feet into the ground.
The water (usually 67 degrees F.) heats the house in the winter and
cools it in the summer. The system uses no fossil fuels such as oil or
natural gas and it consumes one-quarter electricity required for a
conventional heating/cooling system. Rainwater from the roof is
collected and funneled into a 25,000 gallon underground cistern.
Wastewater from showers, sinks and toilets goes into underground purif
ying tanks and then into the cistern. The collected water then
irrigates the land surrounding the house. Surrounding flowers and
shrubs native to the area enable the property to blend into the
surrounding rural landscape.

HOUSE #1 is outside of Nashville , Tennessee ; it is the abode of
the 'environmentalist ' Al Gore.
HOUSE #2 is on a ranch near Crawford, Texas; it is the residence the of
the President of the United States ,
George W. Bush.
An 'inconvenient truth.'
I sure hope this gets passed to everyone! And, yes you can verify it

IMO it takes a pretty stupid person to believe for once nano second the bull shit that comes out of Albores face.
In 61 years on this planet, I have found that most of the tree hugging idiots believe anything they hear from other tree hugging (global warming) idiots, and do not have the intellegence to check things out for themselves.
In 2 LONG years of the liberals having control of congress, look what has happened in this country.
The Liberals are very quick to blame Bush for everything that is wrong in their lives, but the reality of it is, Congress makes the rules and the policy, the President mearly approves or dis-approves of that policy.

its far past pathetic the fashion in which you openly flaunt such idiotic and disillusioned bullshit.
I dont need to say anything beyond that. I think your party losing elections will soon enough be the very least of your problems..................
