Mr McCain also vowed to put the US at the forefront of international efforts to tackle climate change, reversing the Bush administration’s opposition to caps on carbon emissions.

“Americans and Europeans need to get serious about substantially reducing greenhouse gas emissions in the coming years or we will hand off a much-diminished world to our grandchildren,” he said.

Mr McCain is scheduled to meet Gordon Brown, the British prime minister, and David Cameron, leader of the opposition Conservative party, in London before heading to Paris for talks with President Nicolas Sarkozy.

Heck, he did feel secure enough to say “cap and trade”!

I’ve noticed lately Hillary doesn’t say it—publicly.

And can you show me where hillary has come out publicly supporting nuclear energy as McCain has.

You can't, but what the hey you like stirring the pot and running away.

“John McCain: America must be a good role model”

Up your McCain, I’d rather be feared than loved.

An easy question.

Are you for or against nuclear energy. A simple yes or no will be suffice.

“John McCain will be our next President.”

Maybe.

“I will celebrate and delight in his win.”

Should I vomit now, or on election day when you create the first “Pray to...er, FOR El Jefe Presidente Juanito McAmnesty” thread?

Hillary on Nuclear Power — transcribed below.
Sounds just like McCain.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_cZqtrvDIVs

Clinton: “I think nuclear power has to be part of our energy solution. I think we’ve gotta do a better job at figuring out how we’re going to deal with the waste. You know, because in a post 9/11 world we’ve got to be very careful about the waste and about how we run our nuclear plants.

“Ah, but I, I don’t have any preconceived opposition. I wanta be sure that we do it right, as carefully as we can—because obviously it’s a tremendous source of energy. We get about twenty percent of our energy from nuclear power in our country. A lot of people don’t realize that. and other countries, like France, get, you know, much much more.

“So we do have to look at it because it doesn’t put greenhouse gas emmissions into the air. But we gotta make sure it’s done as safely as possible. We’re going to count on people like your husband to help us get the answers. “

I'm for it. As are McCain and Hillary.

What I'm against is global warming regulation, taxing greenhouse gases, and a cap-and-trade program. Do you support those?

Agree. Between Love and Fear, Fear is most certain to elicit the desired response and Love will only have an affect on those who have a conscience. In National Security matters I prefer to have a position that is based on strength (A Proxy for Fear) as opposed to depending on allegiances based on love. You can have both but you cannot have any reliable alliance or restraint that is only ‘Love’.

Thank you for the answer, now the next question is who will put a nuclear power inititive through, my answer would be McCain, and not hillary, and to answer the next question about cap and trade, etc.etc, like it or not being green is in vogue, just like abortion was in vogue when Ronald Reagan signed a bill legalising abortion when he was Governor of California in the late 60's, instead of damning McCain maybe you should go out to your fellow voters and tell them about the global warming scam, instead of feeling good and ranting in your echo chamber.

Why are you still here? You always sound like you would be much more at home at DU. Why not give it a try and leave FR alone?
