Global warming also stands with abortion rights and an array of social causes as important issues to the evangelicals and Christian conservatives

Really? That puts them at odds with the vast majority of Americans who don't place global warming as one of their major concerns.

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

Even if you can find a way to do it, will you be able to look at youself in the mirror afterward?

McCain voted against drilling in ANWAR. He thinks of himself, like Newt, as a green conservative.

I fail to see how government-mandated reductions translates to free-market principles.

McCain exemplifies why senators should stay in the Senate and not run for the presidency. They become expert at talking both sides in the same speech.

McCain should be called on this -- advocating free-market principles while advocating government-mandated reductions. But, sadly, few journalists even listen to what politicians say, so McCain, like other politicians, gets a pass.

Just reported on Laura Ingram.

A kid in a penquin suit converted McCain to go green

[McCain] thinks of himself, like Newt, as a green conservative.

Me too. Every time I think of McCain as president, I feel a bit green, and Rolaids don't help.

All these pols are in on the “cap and trade scam”, include McCain, and stand to make a ton of money.

Most of them couldn’t give a damn whether GW is happening or not or who it is caused by.

This will be the biggest boondoggle for the taxpayer ever by the elite political class on both sides of the aisle.

And they WILL get it passed. Too many elites stand to make a ton of money.

“McCain has long expressed a belief in global warming, arguing that even if he is wrong, acting as if the planet’s temperature were increasing would only benefit the environment if scientists subsequently proved he was mistaken.”

Sheer insanity.

I’m sorry that McCain is such an idiot, but at least he wants to look into atomic energy and make China, etc. go along.

Yes, the Bush Administration has been really STUPID not to take credit for 8 years of global cooling!

The Global Warming movement is a Marxist movement. This moron McCain recently quoted Mao (as if the guy was like George Washington) on the Daily show. This guy fought Bush on the tax cuts. He aligned himself with Ted Kennedy to allow Illegal immigrants into our nation. I can go on and on... No way do I vote for this Sell Out.

ya know if this guy spent as much time on getting America off our dependence on foreign oil as he does on “global warming?”; he’d be doing something a heck of a lot more constructive!!!

He isn’t even the lesser of the evils, he’s lockstep with them.

McCain is starting to look more and more like he may not be the lesser of two evils.
