Questions For McCain (By George Will)
Newsweek ^ | today | George Will

Posted on 05/12/2008 6:42:48 PM PDT by Ron Jeremy

• You say that even if global warming turns out to be no crisis (the World Meteorological Organization says global temperatures have not risen in a decade), even unnecessary measures taken to combat it will be beneficial because "then all we've done is give our kids a cleaner world." But what of the trillions of dollars those measures will cost in direct expenditures and diminished economic growth—hence diminished medical research, cultural investment, etc.?

Expecting John McCain to give real answers to real questions is like asking a tree to have a conversation with you. Waste of time that only makes you look stupid for expecting what is clearly impossible.

McCain will never sit with a true conservative pundit or columnist. Just RNC cheerleaders like Hannity.

Good point. McCain has the temperament of a 5 year old spoiled brat. Conversation is impossible.

Hey America - is solving a problem that may or may not be a problem, is undefined, is being shoved down our throats by opportunistic politicians and business people with identifiable conflicts of interest, and for lack of evidence of its existence provokes extreme controversy within the scientific community, worth a dramatic drop in your standard of living?

'Cause thats where we're headed.

Anti-AGW measures dont only hurt the economy, they hurt the environment too. An example is the rainforest destruction wrought by biofuels.

What if global warming is man made?

And what if all we've been doing to reverse it is working,and has caused the average global temperature drop that is currently being recorded since 1998?

What if we are headed for a mini Ice Age like the one predicted in the 1970’s?

With the price of oil sky rocketing, a decade long cold snap will devastate the world economy and decimate the global population.

I'm just sayin’ .... 8^)

Either that, or perhaps as a journalist he doesn't think its his job to shill for one candidate or another, as you would have him do.

“How did Ron Jeremy become a conservative?”

I don’t know, but I sure wish John McCain would become one! I am ready for an “operation chaos” at the GOP convention to dump McCain for a conservative Republican nominee!

I’m sure McCain will see the outrage he is generating with this climate change campaign among those on the right as proof that he is doing the “Right Thing.” However, he can not out Democrat the Democrats no matter how hard he tries.

Any idiot can see (except for those idiots running the McCain campaign of course) that he will loose more votes on the right than he will get from the left with this position.

I propose a new campaign slogan for McCain: Vote for John McCain - He can has a plan to stop four and a half billion years of climate change!

Of course that slogan should read:

Vote for John McCain - He has a plan to stop four and a half billion years of climate change!

Now that CO2 has officially been named a dangerous pollutant, some future regime might say that we have no right to exhale without permission.
