More validation why I will never vote for this Sell out.
I am pro-global warming.
I woke up to 43 degrees this morning.
STEPHANOPOULOS: How about on the issue of climate change? Because you and Sen. [Joe] Lieberman [I-Conn.] have come out for a bill which would have mandatory reductions in greenhouse gases.No wonder McCain admits he doesn't know much about economics. Who does he think is going to pay for GE making all that profit, since he says it isn't the American taxpayer? Will President McCain just mandate that profits will henceforth grow on trees? Where is the profit from those mandated fluorescent bulbs coming from? Is McCain secretly suggesting he will set up a program to provide free fluorescent bulbs to the American people, since he says "It won't cost the American taxpayer"?
MCCAIN: Gradual reductions, yes.
STEPHANOPOULOS: But they are mandatory.
MCCAIN: Yes.
STEPHANOPOULOS: Are you sticking by that?
MCCAIN: What I mean by that is that it's cap-and-trade, that there will be incentives for people to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. It's a free-market approach. The Europeans are using it now. We did it in the case of addressing acid rain -- look, if we do that, we stimulate green technologies. I have great faith in the American industry. General Electric, the world's largest corporation, has announced they're dedicated to green technologies. This will be profit-making business.
It won't cost the American taxpayer. It will make profits, because we'll move forward with the innovation and ability of American industry to address this issue.
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.
How I am ever going to bring myself to pull the lever for this guy.
“{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.
Ah, I knew you weren’t serious. We can’t do anything that complicates corporations’ search for the world’s cheapest labor and lowest environment standards as places to produce products to be sold in the USA.
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.
Sorry McCain... you can’t pander to your base and pander to your opposition at the same time. Although you are a Democrat in reality, you are running as a Republican and this strategy just won’t work.
A Kyoto-like agreement would be a disaster fr the US. Countries like China would ignore such a pact, anyway. However, if McCain’s answer to global warming and (energy dependence) promotes nuclear energy, then I support that.
So while fighting the islam terrorists at the front door, Mr. McCain will let the communists in the backdoor to destroy our economy.
How about we give Alaska back to the Russians? We aren’t using it anyway.
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.
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.......
No need to read past this point - the candidate is delusional.
Well, that is one way of spinning the interference of government...
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
Has he ever researched anything, what dingbat moron.
What the hell are those?
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.
