McCain Urges Free-Market Principles to Reduce Global Warming

This is nothing but a ploy to divide “young voters”. McCain had no opinion on this issue whatsoever until 18 months ago. And his solution: more nuclear power, is a hell of a lot better than the Democrat solution: dismantle the American economy.

[Blue Turtle]

I am not voting for McCain, I am voting against Obama.

[TomGuy]

Yeh.

The taxpayers keep getting the bills for Congress's various unintended consequences.

[MrB]

Me too.

Actually, depending how things look in Ks, I might vote Libertarian or Constitution. If McCain is up by double digits here, I’m not going to pile on.

[Red Badger]

I am almost to the point of swearing off ANY vote for president this year. Keep talking, John, you’ll eventally push me, and the whole base, totally away.......

[TomGuy]

Perhaps you could read the rulings of the Clinton appointees to the USSC

There is a problem with that claim.

Since LBJ (1969), 13 of 15 justices have been appointed by Republican presidents. Not all of those 13 have leaned to the right. In fact, many of them have leaned to the left. Some of them --- those appointed by Republican presidents-- have even advocated an adherence to international law.

Not all of the justices appointed by Republican presidents have been that stellar.

Republican John McCain, reaching out to both independents and green-minded social conservatives, argues that global warming is undeniable....

No need to read past this point - the candidate is delusional.

[MrB]

Sometimes I wonder whether the consequences are truly unintended.

There are some, yes, that are truly ignorant and don’t “think beyond stage one” as to the effects of their feel good policies, but there are those that DO understand and push the policies anyway, just to maintain their power.

In that case he will take steps to stop Global Cooling by increasing our Carbon Footprint.

Pray for W and Our Troops

[LRS]

"For all of the last century, the profit motive basically led in one direction - toward machines, methods and industries that used oil and gas,"

Well, that is one way of spinning the interference of government...

[MrB]

Not all of the justices appointed by Republican presidents have been that stellar.

Conversely, however, have ANY justices appointed by dhimmirats been any good?

[TomGuy]

How about we give Alaska back to the Russians?

McCain is probably working on his We Apologize for Our Buying Alaska speech.

[DManA]

It is a travesty of the language and economics to call cap-and-trade a free market “solution” Half the people are in this market to make an easy buck. The other half are there because fascists like McCain have a gun to their temples. The only real "incentive" the government has is the implicit threat of violence.

Is John McCain an imbecile? The Chinese and Indians are digging up coal and burning it as fast as they can and building new coal burning power plants as fast as they can

The Russians just said they will not cut back on any CO2 emissions

[snoringbear]

“More validation why I will never vote for this Sell out.”

Up until recent comments such as his on Global Warming and his solutions to; I was prepared to “hold my nose” and vote for him. Instead, I am now giving serious consideration to “cutting off my nose to spite my face” and leave the block for POTUS blank on my ballot...

[dennisw]

“{The Arizona senator promised to challenge China and India, two economic rivals who are fueling their challenge to U.S. market supremacy with heavily polluting fuels such as coal, gas and oil.”

Here’s a suggestion. If you’re serious about challenging China and India, propose legislation that imposes tariffs on all goods imported from nations using “heavily polluting fuels” and which have lax environmental standards in general. That’ll get their attention.

Never in a million years would McCain or Congress punish these two nations. This is just so much bull

[EnigmaticAnomaly]

" This man is an idiot, and if elected, he will destroy the economy."

More validation why I will never vote for this Sell out."

And if he is NOT elected? Are you ready to face the consequences of a Klinton/Obama Presidency?

[TomGuy]

There are some, yes, that are truly ignorant and don’t “think beyond stage one” as to the effects of their feel good policies, but there are those that DO understand and push the policies anyway, just to maintain their power.

There is the public face and the private operations of these Washington politicians have. They are rather like pro wrestlers.

They fight and scream and curse each other -- on camera -- to impress their constituents.

After the bout, they meet, go out for drinks together and collude on things that will be mutually beneficial -- to them.

And they call it bi-partisanship.

[boomop1]

Has he ever researched anything, what dingbat moron.

[TomGuy]

I am amazed at how many Pubbies have ignored all of the government subsidies passed by the Republican Congress and Administration in the last 7 years.

They decry the Dems for their subsidies and hand-out programs. Yet, the Pubbies in Washington have exceeded expectation of even most Liberals.

But the Pubble sheeple ignore that.
