The big headline over at MyFoxLA is that Hillary was heckled by a Code Pinko during a forum on global Warming (Edwards and Kucinich were also speaking there). The Code Pinko disturbance was not much more than a blip on the radar screen for the event. It is far more interesting to learn a bit about where the candidates stand on energy and global warming.

Okay, we know that all ready: they stand with Al "Carbon Bigfoot" Gore.

All three of the candidates want to CUT energy consumption, anywhere from 15% to 20% over the next decade or so. How they expect to do that without crippling the economy, lowering the American standard of living (at least for those of us who are working-class Americans - the rich elites, like Edwards, Clinton, and the Boracle will continue to live as they do while telling us how we should curtail our energy consumption), throwing millions of Americans out of work, raising taxes on us, or putting our lives at risk by forcing auto manufacturers to produce lighter, less safe vehicles is beyond me. Nuclear energy is not an acceptable option for any of them.

That's the real story from the Grist forum. The Code Pinko was nothing more than a distraction (could he be a Hillary Campaign plant? Naw!) from the big picture. These people are not ready for prime time; they want power to control Americans in a "do as I say, not as I do!" fashion, and therefore should not be trusted with this nation's highest office.
