McCain Urges Free-Market Principles to Reduce Global Warming

Einstein was Swiss. Hillary!08 has the highest IQ of all of them. Average IQ here is the same as O’Bama’s.

[Norman Bates]

But he advocates closing GITMO and moving the terrorists to US prisons.

Nowhere have I seen McCain advocate "moving the terrorists to US prisons." Can you likewise explain why Admiral Mullen, Bush's chosen JCS chairman, advocates closing GITMO and in fact the administration is moving toward that end even now?

Add his advocacy of legalizing millions of illegals and his assaults on the First Amendment.

Funny, Bush has also taken those positions. I guess those negate Bush's efforts in the WOT as well.

[Norman Bates]

I have seen a survey showing 70% of Americans believing in some form of climate change. True or false, that’s a large group and encompasses far more than even a burgeoning Democratic Party.

[rom]

LOL. True about Einstein. But the point remains!

Idiocy doesn’t preclude you from being a nominee, nor President.

"How I am ever going to bring myself to pull the lever for this guy."

Why would you want to?

[Norman Bates]

Look who’s been president for the last 7 years and look how popular he is. Do the math.

Actually if the party were stupid they would nominate someone more like Bush.

Thanks for the link. I have fully evaluated McCain in a very methodical, common sense manner -- paying very close attention to what he has actually said and done in his political career. That is the very best way to judge what he might do in the future.

McCain is fond of mentioning how the federal government has failed in this and lacked in that ... you know, the federal government of which he has been a directing member for all these years?

McCain is part of the problem, not the solution.

[Norman Bates]

Those who are counting on McCain to make better choices for judges are dreaming.

You may well say that because we cannot run two parallel histories. But you are wrong.

[Norman Bates]

you know, the federal government of which he has been a directing member for all these years

McCain is one of 535 members of Congress. Actually the President (Bush) has been the directing member of the federal government for all these years (2001-now).

[Norman Bates]

paying very close attention to what he has actually said and done in his political career.

83% lifetime conservative rating. 80% last year. 94% last year, Club for Growth. 0% lifetime from NARAL, Planned Parenthood, and NOW. Very low ratings from ACLU, Sierra Club, and other wackies. Opposed Bush's trillion dollar prescription giveaway, Federal subsidies for ethanol, Federalized insurance, and pork of all variety. How about that for a record? (Somehow I'm sure you'll find a way to dismiss that.)

"I fear what the dims do to our nation will be irreversible..."

Difficult perhaps, but not impossible.

As it is - we are slowly drifting in the same direction...
We are currently the frog in tepid water, but the heat is increasing slowly enough we haven't "jumped" -- but the result will be the same..

If it comes QUICKLY, perhaps the shock will force an overly civilized society to resort to the means our founders provided to "resist" a tyranical government.....

Unfortunately -- some demons are not mollified, frightened or driven away by rational conversation , negotiation or educaton....
The worst demons must be destroyed. Literally.

"What party nominates its maverick as its standard bearer? The Stupid Party."

I could stomach being a Republican when I thought they were THE STUPID PARTY; I became an Independent conservative when I realized how EVIL they are. Some of the Democrats may be true believers, others are moron kool-aid drinkers, but most of the Republicans, like McCain, are just greedy evil sob's willing to sell us out for their own profit.

[Kenny Bunk]

Where is it written that the GOP is supposed to last forever?

I believe we may be in a time of momentous change which will see the birth ... difficult and messy ... of a new political party or even two! Of course, the Democrats are in far better shape to weather this change than the Republicans.

It's obvious the Two-Party System is not serving most of us on this site very well. McCain is a Centrist, but I cannot answer whether he is to the left or the right of that mythical mark. Both Democrats are far to the Left, but Mrs. Clinton is successfully flying a false flag and staking claim to the patriotic survivors of the Democrat Party,i.e., working people of the traditional democrat party.

Center Left, Center Right, Far Left, Far Right would fit more Americans than the lash-up we have now.

[RC51]

McCain would do well to start referring it to “Global Climate Change” now. Global Warming Theory is going to soon collapse and make fools of Al Gore and the politically motivated “scientists”. Global Climate change is accurate and implies that indeed man does have an impact on a dynamic ever changing system. Our impact doesn’t always have to equate a negative.

"If it comes QUICKLY, perhaps the shock will force an overly civilized society to resort to the means our founders provided to "resist" a tyrannical government....."

Although I pray it never comes to this, I would not cower in fear if called upon to once again take up arms in defense of this land our forefathers bequeathed unto us...

“He also cited evidence of a shift in animal migration patterns.”

Say there, John, did you happen to notice the big shift in HUMAN migration?????

[Mogollon]

Rush is going to kick his a$$ today over this idiocy.

[TomGuy]

Nowhere have I seen McCain advocate "moving the terrorists to US prisons."

Unless you are splitting hairs [a.k.a., parsing, nuancing], if GITMO is closed, those prisoners will have to be sent somewhere.

From USA Today, Guantanamo Bay puzzles candidates

McCain wants to close Guantanamo, he says, because its existence is damaging U.S. credibility abroad. He also wants to speed up trials. "He would want to speed up the tribunal process for prisoners, because he doesn't support indefinite detentions," McCain spokesman Danny Diaz says.

If they are tried and the verdict is imprisonment, where do you think they will be imprisoned, if GITMO is closed?

I guess those negate Bush's efforts in the WOT as well.

It is difficult to claim fighting in Iraq is for our National Security, when our borders are wide open. Even Congress has been shown evidence that illegal Islamics have been coming across the borders. So, yes, Bush is undermining his own WOT efforts.

[Kenny Bunk]

Dear Senator, Many prominent scientists and climatologists are now questioning whether global warming is real or an aberration in how the data was collected and interpreted. The link between CO2 in the atmosphere and increasing global temperatures is not proven and if it has any role at all it is in combination with many other factors which are simply beyond human control. To irreparably damage the US economy pursuing the phantom of man made global warming is unconscionable

To damn bad the Republicans are incapable of delivering that message in an effective, forceful manner. Imagine what might happen if the present WH recumbent had the will ... and the ability to explain this to the American people.

Instead, both he and Mccain merely spread the stupidity that has already severely weakened our economy.
