Repuke Rep's kids: Change your tune on Global Warming or we'll vote against you

What does this say?

Generational test for Republicans

Rep. Bob Inglis (R-S.C.), once a skeptic of global warming, got a hint that the political winds might be shifting when a longtime supporter warned that he might vote against Inglis if he “didn’t clean up his act on the environment.”

The warning came from Inglis’ eldest son, Robert Jr., now 22.

His daughter was no less blunt about the congressman’s refusal to embrace the view that global warming was being caused by human actions and that a serious response is needed. “I have three more kids coming up — and they seem to share the same view,” Inglis said.

Family pressure worked. Inglis traveled to Antarctica and, most recently, to Greenland to witness the effects of rising CO2 levels and temperatures. He now believes the science behind global warming. And he believes the politics are equally conclusive: Republicans will “get hammered” if they do not reckon with the issue soon.

4. What will Exxon say??!

Climate change will be the end of the Republican Party. They've taken millions of dollars from the gas/oil lobby to deny what is clearly taking place. As the impact of climate change becomes more and more apparent, the Republicans will be looked at as complete fools.

8. Must have spared the rod too much with those kids.

He needed to do a better job of beating them into submitting to his authority.

9. No! No! That's not true! Republicans MUST stand against The Global Warming theorists!

At least, until September 2008.


Stand strong, Republicans!

Don't let that pesky "science" get in the way of your "beliefs."

Let's all write to Bob Inglis, tell him you're a Republican, and call him a left-wing loon!

[LeftishBrit]

10. Understandable; young people are the ones who will suffer the most in the future from global warming

I hope more politicians come under this sort of pressure!

[Fly by night]

11. One question I'd like to ask those kids: "Who's your Daddy?"
