Answer 1

Trust no one.

Answer 2

those same questions apply to all politicians..

bottom line is never trust anyone that makes politics a way of life.. they are in it usually for 1 of 3 reasons....

1> to become more powerful

2> to become more popular

3> to help mankind...

unfortunately most fall into the first two catagories...

even those that fall into the third get tainted.. they inevitably have to trade their morals for what is best for their voters.. over time they begin to believe that THEY can make a difference.. once that happens they start to believe that it is more important for them to get re elected then to be honest...

it is a rough area and it corrupts almost everyone that touches it.

Answer 3

Democrats run rabbits and howl at the moon.

Different from Republicans 'cause Republicans howl at the moon and run rabbits.

Never trust a politician until you understand if he is a one issue candidate or if he is interested only in getting re-elected. You can trust the guy whose interest is getting re-elected.

Answer 4

Any Alternitives to either Democrats or Republicans if these are what is being asked about.  The answers to some of what is asked about could be found in the Book The Crisis in The Oceans The Dissapearing Fish Stocks which though not on the environment indicate other human irresponsibility , Canada And The Environment, The Military's Assault On The Environment by Thomas Theisman, The Last Days of Ancient Sun Light also by him,  The Environment, Scarcity,and Security, a report on The Environment by The Pentagon an organization funded by taxpayer money.  Endangered Mexico is another source,   Nuclear Weapons are another threat besides Global Warming which could be adressed as these also harm The Environment. In a side topic a person could mention that if the world powers were to use every weapon at their disposal they would kill 1 million people a minute.  Just something to think about . Compare that to Global Warming which is slow compared to that.

Answer 5

I'll just talk about global warming, since that's all that counts here.

People shouldn't trust any politicians on that.  They should trust scientists.

The best scientists in America are the 1800 members of the National Academy of Sciences, who are elected by their peers.  Being elected to the Academy is like winning an Oscar in science.

The Academy says global warming is real, and mostly caused by us.

Answer 6

Only if they tell you they will raise taxes!  That is one promise they will live up to.

Answer 7

As a libertarian I think a more relevant question would be:

Should people really trust the government?

Answer: Never. They are not super human gods of all encompassing intellect. They all need to be watched carefully.

"When the people fear their government, there is tyranny; when the government fears the people, there is liberty. "

-Thomas Jefferson

Answer 8

Climate change is natural.  Humans are a part of nature.  Now Democrats?  They're not natural and should not be trusted any further than you can throw their Cadillac (which hey bought with your money).

Answer 9

You can ask such a question after 8 yrs of what is prob the most corrupt and lying administration in US history??

Answer 10

I gotta disagree with Bob.  We elected these men and women, and I believe they should be accountable, if not trusted.  I trust my elected to official to become informed and rely on the opinions of climate scientists and others in deciding how to deal with global climate change.

That doesn't mean I always like what they say.  The Republican from my district doesn't believe.  I've been accumulating information for 4 months and am getting ready to write him again and see if he's holding his position, and then offer some tangible examples of what I feel is substantive evidence of global climate change.  

You've really charged up this question, but since we're in the GW category, I'm not taking the bait because we all share the same planet, and the majority is concerned enough to say they want something done.

I hate this superdelegate thing, no argument there.

Can't address #4 without something specific, sorry.

#5: "They say that anything bad ..."  Oh c'mon.  Without looking at it?  How about Senators  Sanders and Boxer, and S.309?  I'm willing to bet they did the homework and could hold their own in a discussion on the topic.

The us and them tactic is not condusive to addressing the problem at hand.  If you have a grudge against Democrats, post it in the appropriate category and include specifics.  Otherwise you're just ranting.

Answer 11

dude c'mon not all dems r bad and no not all of us wanna increase taxes in fact Hillary ,despite her costly plans wants to lower taxes even though that will be near impossible, and i'm a dem and i don't believe in global warming don't judge us by a few sour apples

Answer 12

Say what you may about tax-and-spend liberal Democrats. At least if the money is spent wisely, whatever you bought is paid for. Compare that to the borrow-and-spend Republicans of late. It is a verifiable fact that since The country was established we have incurred a 9 trillion dollar national debt, 50 % of which was the work of the last two Republican presidents and if you include Ronald Regan, that figure rises to 70 %. Nothing is paid for. It is left to our children and grandchildrento pay off that massive debt, much of it to the Chinese. Trust Democrats? I don't know but Regan did say one thing that made sense: trust but verify. Make sure whomever you elect works for you and not for him/herself.

Answer 13

Not necessarily, but we should trust scientists.

Democrats didn't come up with the AGW theory, scientists did.

Answer 14

Personally, I think they are living with guilt and are confused  doing the right things. I think they are doomed to loose the race.

You can't say you are for human rights and raise taxes; make government smaller and make the tax break permanent.

You can't believe in human life if your platform is pro-abortion.

The things that are happening are a result of not being true to the rights of ALL human beings.

We car about the rights of dogs and cats and cougars before we care about babies that never make it out alive.

Peace starts with true facts.

Oil is available if the Democrats let the existing coal oil production go ahead. What are we waiting for?  There are 300 billion barrels of oil in government protected land and coal reserves in other states.  

Keep PORK out of Bills so the Republicans can get the job done without raising taxes.  Make government by the people for the people.

Answer 15

You just shush! Of course we back things we say up! And those taxes go to good causes! School funding and the war! (not that the war is good)

GLOBAL WARMING IS A THREAT YOU POOPOO EATING MONKEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 16

should people really trust politicians?

Answer 17

"1. In 2000 many in Florida could not figure out how to vote for the right person."

My understanding was they voted just fine, it just wasn't counted by the Republican Kathrine Harris who went on to the house of Reps till she was voted out after after an illegal contributions scandal, involving MZM a defense contractor.

"4. They say things without backing it up."

so the phrases

"WMD's in Iraq" and "Mission accomplished" are Democrat phrases then?

Answer 18

No, they pretty much make up anything they want and act like you're crazy if you don't believe them.
