The Arizona senator criticizes White House decision-making during a tour of the L.A. and Long Beach ports.
Republican presidential candidate John McCain was anything but subtle Wednesday as he took swipes at the Bush administration during a meticulously staged appearance with Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger on the bustling docks of Los Angeles Harbor.
President Bush's record on global warming? "Terrible," McCain declared. His pursuit of the Iraq war? "A train wreck."

I also think that McCain is despicable and will soon be polling in single digits in the Republican primary.
Arnold "distanced" himself from Bush, but he didn't say nasty things as McCain is doing.
I expect McCain is going to be going "third party" come '08 but I'm not sure that he will have enough substance left to his image to do any real harm.
McCain - once again demonstrating his 5th from the bottom of his graduating class ranking at Annapolis "intellect"..
McCain is NO scientist..... He wasn't even much of a Naval aviator -- given the number of American aircraft he piloted that were destroyed and he isn't even a satisfactory Congress Critter and that doesn't require much...
So why should I believe a damned thing he says about the climate?
Semper Fi
So you going to vote for someone with a year supply of food in their basement?

Go ahead Johnny boy. Get it off your chest. Let it all out, baby.
But remember. And don't blame your gender. This is why you lost the Republican primary in 2000. Not any Bush dirty tricks. And this is why you will get nowhere in '08.
Rumsfeld, the worst? Hey Johnny. At least he won a war. Thats more than you can say. Only in bizarro world can it be asserted on a daily basis, that, taking the country (in record time), getting the leader, putting him on trial, helping the people of that country establish a government, (based on principles of liberty, as opposed to Baathist/fascist principles), all in record time, with a minimal loss of soldier's lives,constitutes a loss. It is then double over-time, triple upside-down backflip-crazy bizarre, to have members of the President's own party join with the Geobblesish media, taking advantage of problems that exist after the war,(as they do in every war), and then proceed to use that as a basis of, not just constructive criticism, but, jump on the bandwagon lynch mob style attacking.
Now multiply that by whatever you want, and you come up with idiocy to the nth power. Which only begins to quantify the idiocy that has taken over the thought processes of someone who thinks he can win a campaign for the '08 Republican primary with that strategy.
So far -- I don't have a dog in this race.
Most of the candidates from either party, look like losers by any objective criteria...
Semper Fi
Flailing arms McCain is hardly even announced and he's already sinking below the surface. Internal polling must have come back from within his own party. I would have liked to have seen the look on his face when instead of numbers it read "fat chance".
"I'll bite yer head off! Arrrr...."
John McCain Exposed! Photographed in his Natural Habitat!

After being asked, repeatedly, to make Senator John McCain our squirrel of the month; We, here at the Global Squirrel Network have looked into the matter and decided: 1) He does seem to have the ability to draw people to him . . . as do squirrels.
2) He also possesses the unique ability to make bitter enemies of neighbors . . . Just like squirrels!
3) He has suffered inhumane treatment at the hands of humans, giving him a most personal insight into the lives of everyday squirrels.
4) And finally, he does look like us. For example, the photo, at left, is certainly the face of a squirrel, fiercely protecting his nuts.

He's a nut.
McCain going 3rd party is our worst nightmare! Why? Because Hillary can't get 50% of the vote, but she can get 38-40% of the vote and if McCain goes 3rd party and draws 15% away that ***** could be president.
No pizza or beer?
Just why conservatives don't like him and never will.
The good news is that if McInsane becomes POTUS, 'The Button' will get regularly pushed and countries like Iran, North Korea, may be France, will get frequent doses of radiation :)
McCain sems to have a record for stabbing his friends in the back while cuddling up with his enemies.
The third party ploy gave Bill his victory in 1992 and, unless there is a fourth party threat from the left of Hillary, it will give her a victory too. That's assuming she gets the nomination, which isn't a sure thing.
ha ha. Thing is, Freeman, and other middle america militia also do it, but i don't think people want them running the gubment. Who knows, maybe Romney will pan out. We have a couple of friends who are mormons and are super to be around. Really clean cut, productive in life and want the best for their families. At least Romney's not a Scientologist. But then again, in 2026, Tom Cruise could be running for president and the same arguments will pop up. And then 20 years after that,...the Wiccans.
McCain has few issues that matter to the public, where he differs from Bush. I feel this is an attempt to show he does have "some" differences from George Bush and at the same time appease Left-Libs, who swallow the hype of global warming hook, line and sinker. McCain stated humankind has an enormous impact on Global Warming, but in truth science shows humankind only has a large impact on CO2 emissions, only one of the greenhouse gases. Humankind actually has an extremely small impact on the whole of climate change. We must grasp the fact that curbing human-induced greenhouse gases will not halt climate change. According to the Pacific Decadal Oscillation, the NAO and the solar cycle may all have recently changed towards phases that favor cooler temperatures. If this climate shift does indeed kick in, talk of another ice age can replace the global warming hype and hysteria.
"We are not just scientists but human beings as well. And like most people we'd like to see the world a better place, which in this context translates into our working to reduce the risk of potentially disastrous climate change. To do that we need to get some broad-based support, to capture the public's imagination. That, of course, entails getting loads of media coverage. So we have to offer up scary scenarios, make simplified, dramatic statements, and make little mention of any doubts we might have."
-Dr Stephen Schneider, Biological Sciences Professor at Stanford University, reiterating comments he made to Discover magazine in 1989, American Physical Society News Online, August/September 1996
"[T]he emissions reductions for all industrialized countries mandated by Kyoto translate into CO2 atmospheric concentrations by 2010 that are only 0.26-0.39 percent lower than if the North [Northern Hemisphere] actually increased its emissions by 20%."
-Dr. Richard Benedick, Senior International Advisor at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory and chief architect of the Montreal Protocol (which banned chlorofluorocarbons), Weathervane's Perspectives on Policy, March 1998
"They insist on using everything to measure the temperature of the planet except a thermometer."
-Dr. S. Fred Singer, atmospheric scientist with the Science and Environmental Policy Project, making the point that global warming theory advocates use butterfly migration patterns, glacial movement and other factors as evidence of global warming while ignoring satellite data showing a cooling trend, September 25, 1998
