Think you can sidestep the issue of global warming, simply by voting Republican?
Think again. Now that Senator John McCain is officially the Republican nominee for President, global warming is, whether anyone likes it or not, an issue for both of our nations dominant political parties. McCain has been gravitating towards this issue for several years, and made his mark with it during his chairing of the U.S. Senate hearings on global warming back in 2004

And once again the moronic republicans have let the moonbats dictate the issues on the next election.Get ready for the screwing of our lives.
I almost hate McCain. I don’t feel that way about many people.
Where is the party that represents us?
No. It is not official until the convention votes.
I won't be complicit in voting for any candidate who supports amnesty, which will destroy this country with a stroke of a pen. If amnesty passes, everything else is just rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic.
You still call it global warming in the U.S.? I haven’t heard this term in Germany for several month. Here it’s called a neutral “climate change” now. So whatever the climate does, those who feel the urge, may feel guilty.
I ask you not to abstain from voting. The election to president by any of these three is going to require that we elect a conservative congress, conservative governors and conservative state governments to keep these guys in check. Also a write in or third party vote for a real conservative will possibly send the GOP a message that we are tired of their tactics.
Thanx Bill
On an interview with Glen Beck, the president of the Chzek republic remarked that the ploy being used by the global warmists are the same tactics used by the communists to persuade his people to put them in power and accept socialism.
and opposes drilling in ANWR. So what's the big deal?
W "claims" (though his actions belie his words) that he favors drilling in ANWR, yet has gone over to the dark side and is close to becoming an OwlGore acolyte--his having signed the CAFE standards bill, the Biofuels increase bill and now, the anti choice lightbulb bill.
Go figure.
One step onto the liberal slippery slope, and down they go headlong...
It is climate change here too, we conservatives won't allow them to get away with changing the name to fit whatever template is happening at the moment. First it was warming, that was an unprovable lie, so now it is climate change. Either way it is BS. Climates have changed all the time. Just another socialist scheme to bilk people out of their money to line liberal pockets across the globe.
Lieberman, McCain Reintroduce Climate Stewardship and Innovation Act
Bill Improvements, Mounting Warming Impacts Attract Co-Sponsors to Bipartisan Measure
WASHINGTON Senator Joe Lieberman (ID-CT) reintroduced the Climate Stewardship and Innovation Act (S. 280) today with his longstanding ally, Senator John McCain (R-AZ). Co-sponsoring the bill are Senators Barack Obama (D-IL) and Olympia Snowe (R-ME), who had co-sponsored the 2005 version of the bill, and Senators Blanche Lincoln (D-AR) and Susan Collins (R-ME). The most bipartisan of the Senate proposals to reduce greenhouse gas emissions across all major sectors of the US economy, the new bill quickly won endorsements from the National Wildlife Federation, Environmental Defense, and the Pew Center on Global Climate Change.

We continue to work with the scientific community, industry, economists, environmentalists, the faith-based community, and other stakeholders to ensure that we are fully addressing the serious problem of global warming in a manner that has both economic and environmental integrity, said McCain. I am confident that given our will and what's at stake, America can and must assume its proper leadership role in addressing the preeminent environmental issue of our time, the consequences of which so directly affects our national interests. The costs of inaction are enormous, and the national security concerns related to our inaction cannot be ignored. That is why I will continue working with my colleagues to further improve this legislation to craft and implement a market-based policy that will efficiently combat global warming in a manner that will serve our nation well for many years to come.

With each passing year, the consequences of federal inaction on reducing greenhouse gas emissions become more devastating for our children and grandchildren, and the range of solutions grows smaller, Obama said. This bill offers a comprehensive solution that relies on American will, ingenuity, and technological expertise to solve one of the greatest problems of our generation, and it deserves consideration by the Senate as soon as possible.

Staggering in its implications.
We’re stuck with complying with constitutional law at this time. So as ludicrous as this sounds, let’s at least get McCain into the Oval Office just to keep Clinton and Obama out and then impeach McCain if we need to.
Goooood cracker. Good cracker.

Its basis in "reality" is political correctness, in my opinion.
