comes from fossil fuels while 7% comes from

Wow. There no bias in those questions. Not feeling led to an answer there, chief.
In fact, Barak Obama doesn’t think you’ve stopped beating your wife, Dan.
I disagreed with Obama on 90% of the questions. I had no idea that we agreed on as many as 5 of the items.
No bias in those questions at all!
Still fun, nonetheless . . . I agreed with Obama 60% of the time.
Darn,
I only disagreed with him 90% of the time.
As for Bias…have you heard the Obamessiah talk, now there is BIAS.
I DISAGREED with the Barack Obama position on 49 of the 51 test questions.
I agreed with “that Homeland Security should have to seek out a warrant in federal court in order to perform search and seizure on an American citizen suspected of being involved in terrorism”, and “proposed increase in deductions for taxpayers “. Guess it’s true what they say about blind squirrels.
98%
I agreed with Homeland Security having to pull a warrant on a U.S. citizen suspected of terrorism.
Obama is more screwy than I thought he was.
