John McCain slams 'horrendous' climate bill
Politico ^ | 11/19/09 | Lisa Lerer

Sens. Lindsey Graham and Joe Lieberman have been working overtime to craft a climate bill that can attract significant GOP support. But they aren’t exactly scoring points with their mutual best friend in the Senate, John McCain.

“Their start has been horrendous,” McCain said Thursday. “Obviously, they’re going nowhere.”

McCain has emerged as a vocal opponent of the climate bill — a major reversal for the self-proclaimed maverick who once made defying his party on global warming a signature issue of his career.

McCain must be feeling the pressure from the Arizonans. He must've seen the censure of Grahamesty from South Carolina Republicans. He must've seen the implosion of liberal (radical) Republicanism in Upstate New York.

And again, McCain gave up a huge issue for the campaign. Who would vote for Obama and necessarily causing electricity rates to skyrocket.

McCain, retire, go back to Arizona. Promote national security issues and stay away from all other issues.

Thank you J.D. Hayworth.

Now, Arizona Republicans need to reward him with the GOP nomination in their senate race.

Climate Bill?

Global Cooling or Warming this week? New Data or Fake Data?

I think ALL climate work should be scrapped until next century.

He was the one who supported this global warming nonsense during the campaign. What a sleazy opportunist he is!

It is no wonder he lost and hopefully he will lose again.

He knows it’s unlikely to pass , so he feels safe in criticizing it to gain brownie points with the base. If his vote was needed to pass it, he would vote for it.

His re-election campaign looks like the beginning of another Specter in the making. If he wins, look for him to return to the same BS he’s been pulling for years, all in the name of increasing his press popularity. Keep in mind this is the clown who threw it all down the drain last year by repeatedly poking a stick in the eyes of the base.

What an opportunist politician!

Didn't the Senate vote 98-0 to extend unemployment benefits? They're all politicians.

Why would a free people choose to be ruled by politicians?!

The sad fact are the people are the final defense of liberty and they seem to like their entitlements, but not the entitlements of others.

McCain is Navy all the way. He'll not spit into the wind...unless...

“Obviously, they’re going nowhere.” - McCain is describing his presidential run, no?

He’s probably just pissed his liberal buddies didn’t include him into their little crap-ass bill writing.
