McCain Urges Free-Market Principles to Reduce Global Warming

My Way News ^ | 5-12-08 | Glen Johnson

[TADSLOS]

green-minded social conservatives

What the hell are those?

[DManA]

You think we'll suffer all that much more with a 75% carbon reduction over a 60% reduction? One side is trotting towards the abyss, the other side is galloping. I'd rather not ride either horse.

Okay calling all RINO McCain Kool-Aid drinkers to tell me again why McCain should get my vote.

Make your list long because if you notice my tagline my list as why I won’t is pretty long.

[DManA]

They are conservative Christian who have been seduced into thinking that God equates stewardship with big government controls.

[RexBeach]

OMG. There is no global warming. Changes occur with the earth’s atmosphere all the time.

My goodness NOAA cannot predict what the weather will be this Friday with more than 80% accuracy, and that’s just five days from now.

How about ten years from now? No way. All they’ve got are computer models.

How and why did Mr. McCain sign on to this malarkey?

[DManA]

I keep listening for this but all I get are insults. I know all the reasons not to vote democrat, I still haven't heard a convincing argument why I should vote FOR McCain. Either from McCain or his apologists.

Okay calling all RINO McCain Kool-Aid drinkers to tell me again why McCain should get my vote.

“If he used the word “undeniable”, he has proven himself an idiot. Another brick in the wall. Please, Repubs, ditch this clown and give us a real candidate. We’ll respond in two ways: 1) you’ll get money, 2) we’ll actually vote.”

Please, someone tell me how we could actually ditch McCain at convention and get a real conservative candidate! I am for “operation chaos” at the GOP convention because I do not believe McCain can beat Obama OR Hillary!

[RexBeach]

OK, I’m not into Kool Aid, and I ain’t no RINO.

Here’s why you should vote for Mr. McCain:

1) He will be strong on the WOT;

2) He’s not Obama.

OK, that’s my list. :)

[DManA]

Number 1 is a good point. It’s the only one I can come up with either. I have until November to decide if that trumps everything else.

[trisham]

Here's my list:

1. He's not Obama.

"You think we'll suffer all that much more with a 75% carbon reduction over a 60% reduction? One side is trotting towards the abyss, the other side is galloping. I'd rather not ride either horse."

You may not want to ride either horse, but you will be forced to come November (January actually). I will take the 60 percent reduction and prosecution of the war to victory over what the libs are cookin'...

A vote against Obama IS a vote FOR McCain.

Harder to stop a RINO president then a dem

[JustaDumbBlonde]

"Global warming also stands with abortion rights and an array of social causes as important issues to the evangelicals and Christian conservatives whom McCain hopes will bolster his political base this fall."

Bull. Stewardship of the land and good use of all available energy are certainly conservative values ... values which I hold near and dear ... but I in no way buy into the "global warming" farce.

[JustaDumbBlonde]

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

If there were a selection on the ballot that represented that statement, you might have a point. But the real fact remains that a vote for McCain shows up as support for his positions and indicates your support for the continued leftward slide of the GOP. That is pretty much what has gotten us to the point that we find ourselves.

[Blue Turtle]

There’s no way in hell Obama will ever get my vote. He is too far left...and STILL has a questionable past.

[stockpirate]

Yes I am ready to deal with dims as POTUS.

It will be a lot harder for Repubs to fight against McCain’s policy’s then to fight against dems.

[MarineBrat]

I'm starting a write-in campaign!

[TomGuy]

1) He will be strong on the WOT;

Partial credit.

But he advocates closing GITMO and moving the terrorists to US prisons. That would give them every Constitutional right Americans have.

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

Those are signficant enough to counter the partial credit for his WOT support.

[Carl from Marietta]

Someone needs to shake this idiot.

I'm just sick to death that he's pandering to the brain dead mouth-breathers that buy into any human induced climate change.

Who is he trying to motivate, the people who are already voting democrat?

Keep it up John, we'll all stay home, moron.

[HoosierHawk]

No wonder McCain admits he doesn't know much about economics.

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. I fail to see how government-mandated reductions translates to free-market principles.

Thanks for the transcript.
