BTW, you didn’t “prove” anything to me.
Bush, Obama, Clinton, any of them would sign cap and trade legislation.

We The People must defeat it in congress.
And that is where it will be defeated.

If such a thing ever got so far that only a presidential veto could stop it, then it is already too late.
But on matters of wasteful spending, where Bush has signed, time and time again, McCain would veto. That is where the president counts.

Don’t forget, McCain voted against Bush’s MediCare expansion. McCain said it was too expensive, too large a government expansion. Republicans all rallied around it, marveling at their own victory and what it would mean for votes in the next election.

Now, years later, Republicans have all come around late to McCain’s view. McCain has always battled expanding government spending. We can trust him to continue as president. I think he will be more Reagan than even Reagan was on this issue.

And you don't see the amount of money neccessary to implement a Cap and Trade system for a phoney problem as not wasteful?
