Meet Captain Climate -McCain says he'll battle global warming as fiercely as he fought money ..

As if his campaign finance reform was a success. That was by far the biggest nastiest campaign ever.

John McCain says he'll battle global warming as fiercely as he fought money in politics.

Whew, that's a relief! For a moment there I thought he was actually going to try to accomplish something...

John McCain says he'll battle global warming as fiercely as he fought money in politics.

Especially since, again thanks to John McCain, the laws on campaign finance have been tightened, at least a little, to diminish the power of corporations and unions.
---

Are these people clueless?

Rush said it best:

And then later came the flirt with John Kerry as his vice presidential running mate. McCain says he's pro-life and pro-guns. Democrats wouldn't stand for that. And who's he kidding? If the left thinks that McCain will make Kerry electable, they'd stand for anything, even cannibalism. If McCain announced he was a cannibal, they would still take him if they thought that McCain would make Kerry more electable. And of course McCain's going out there, [Doing McCain impression.] "Uh, yes, I'd consider it, but nonstarters, not going anywhere. Do you hear me sailor? Nothing, no. No scenario, no scenario whatsoever Never, never, never!" Chris Matthews later [Screaming Matthews impression], "Please, would you please do it! We wanted you in the White House in the first place, would you please do it? We'll find a way to get rid of Kerry, just do it! Why won't you do it?" [McCain impression:] "There's no scenario possible. I'm open to consideration, but there's no scenario possible. How many times do I have to say it? Who do you think you are, Donald Fehr?" Well, there was that, and then McCain lost it about these 527s. MoveOn.org, he said, [McCain impression:] "Look, my son – my stupid 15-year-old son – even he would say it's partisan politics and as such, it's illegal. What do we have to do here, huh? Huh?" Now, that was in testimony before the Senate. I'm sitting there saying, "I wonder how many people are hearing this?" His law, his McCain-Feingold law says that these 527s are illegal because they're engaging in partisan politics.

My friends, what has happened to us? We have allowed this silly attack on the First Amendment, McCain-Feingold. President signed it, don't know why. Supreme Court found it constitutional, can't understand it, and now this? I mean, there's more money in politics than ever, and more of it by definition of law is illegal than ever! This McCain-Feingold law is an absolute joke. There is more money than ever and it's all under the table now and it's not under control of the parties. It's in control of these wackos like George Soros. So everybody says, "How could this have happened?" [McCain impression:] "We put that loophole in there but we didn't think anybody would see it. You have to have loopholes so you can go back with new legislation to be a king again to close it!" Well, they saw the loophole, senator, and they're exploiting it with partisan politics. (Laughing) [McCain impression:] "That's right! That's right! Partisan politics, and it stinks. We said you can't do that and we're going to stop it, you hear me?" Okay, so it was a... (laughing) What McCain-Feingold wanted to do, it did just the opposite! It was designed to take money out of politics. Instead of taking the money out, McCain-Feingold is sucking in more money than at any time in history and by definition, most of it's illegal. Thank you, senator.

The man from the Keating five is now the man from Soros One. It was George Soros who spent millions to fund campaign finance reform, taking away our freedoms and giving them to Soros.

Global warming is another effort of the Soros group to diminish U.S. soveringty. Until McCain corrects campaign finance reform, remember him for what he is, Keating five converted to Soros One!


Bears repeating. I'm too p*ssed off to add anything!

One thing that I'm sure of:
John McCain knows as well as any of us that "global warming" is total nonsense. He's committing his remaining years to being Antichrist's climate guru!

What makes him hate liberty so?

McCain's photos are as fuzzy as his thinking.

Thanks! Just taking a gander at the walls of the children's section of the local library or at a school, and you see the plunder of the Amazon, melting of the ice caps, hunger and overpopulation. What's the solution, they ask and answer: The UN should be supported, the USA should be scrutinized. Rich pay poor...
