This demented weasel is a gorebal warming ninnyhammer.

[philled]

At the top of the hour radio newsbreak I heard a clip of McCain. He was saying that it doesn't matter if we call it climate change or global warming, it is a real problem that we need to act on.

So, I took action. I left my office, went down to the breakroom vending machines. I bought a Diet Coke and a pack of Big Red chewing gum. Neither worked- I can still taste that little bit of vomit that made it up into the back of my mouth.

I just keep telling myself: "Supreme Court justices. McCain is the only hope for Supreme Court justices." However, I realize that I am going to bring in a bottle of Scope mouthwash to deal with what the presumptive nominee will have in store over the next six months...

[fweingart]

McCain has an affinity for Heinz mustard.

[Tarpon]

Well if it's a fact, then I would guess Juan wouldn't mine trotting out the proof for all to see. The straight talk express is as addicted to crooked talk about taxes as the rest of the Martxixts.

Pay more in taxes so the government can pretend to control the weather. My bet is the weather with it's friend Mr Sun, will win.

Cap and Trade, carbon offsets, it's all about rationing energy to restrict freedom and collecting more in taxes without scaring anyone. How is this different from Clinton's BTU tax?

what a freaking idiot....the GOP who voted this nut in ought to be shot

[BubbaBasher]

I’ve said it before. All McCrazy has to do is to shut up and stay out of site until November. He can’t even do that right. The sky really is falling.

[Vigilanteman]

Ain't that the truth? Bob Dole was positively Mr. Charisma and exciting compared to who we have now.

If global warming was a real crisis, they'd be proposing a real solution. Like this:

Qattara Depression

If Greenland melted down completely, 88% of the excess water produced could be contained by flooding the uninhabited Qatarra Depression in northwest Egypt, producing thousands of miles of valuable lakefront property, generating electrical power as water flowed from the Medditerranean to the depression and potentially turning much of the surrounding Sahara Desert into arable land.

It took Greenland 18,000 years to accumulate as much ice as it has now. How long do you think it will take it to melt?

[KC_Conspirator]

McCain camp actually believes they can compete in Oregon. I guess they think they have to do this nonsense. Sigh.

[word_warrior_bob]

Once we lost the House and Senate, I knew we were going to be bombarded with this doomsday boondoggle. My greatest fears are coming to fruition, this train needs to be derailed, and FAST. Don’t we have any billionaire conservatives to put out the definitive Anti-Inconvenient truth film???

[Dacula]

May God help us! PLEASE!

I will not vote or donate to Juan & the national republican party.

[SUSSA]

He’s just saying this to take the issue away from the Democrats. You’ll see after he’s elected he’ll turn conservative.

Hmm, no wait. After he wins his second term he’ll turn conservative.

No wait. I know, after the second term mid-term elections he’ll turn conservative.

Any way, he has an R after his name. That should be enough for you people.

[TheWasteLand]

He’s alienating the right with this nonsense, and there’s no way he’s going to pick up enviro-votes over the dems, so why is he doing this?

[Thunder90]

No. Hillary will be his VP, and will assume the presidency within a year after McCain takes office.

[CholeraJoe]

and potentially turning much of the surrounding Sahara Desert into arable land.

Salt water (which Greenland ice will be by the time it gets to the eastern Mediterranean) isn't much good for irrigating crops.

[RepublitarianRoger2]

Anyone else think it's a little warm in here?

what a freaking idiot....the GOP who voted this nut in ought to be shot

Amen, brother; especially those living in South Carolina.

[Man50D]

McCain and the GOP are increasingly showing their socialist stripes with each passing day.

[Vigilanteman]

No it isn't, but a salt water body does evaporate which creates condensation which creates rain which is generally fresh water.

This is why areas near large bodies of water generally get more rain and deserts along coastlines of the same are rare. though not unheard of.

[zeestephen]

Brick by brick, this man is tearing down the foundation of the Republican Party.

[FFranco]

McCain’s campaign is based on running to the middle to appeal to independents, moderate Dems and leftist Republicans. The problem is that strategy writes off all conservatives and traditional Republicans like most on FR.

Maybe it will bring him victory, tho I doubt it. With the Dem and Republican candidates so close on issues, the main difference will be the perceived personality and character of the candidate.

So who would you rather have a beer with? McCain or Obama.
