Questions For McCain (By George Will)

[Grunthor]

Actually I wouldn’t have him shill for anyone and I love that someone is asking McBoob the hard questions.

Remember being young and using astrology as an aid in nailing chicks? If McCain can use this to panic leftists into accepting nuclear power, I’m all for it.

George Will is an astute man with rational thinking - a fine man.

My husband says if everyone stopped breathing for 20 min. it would lower carbon dioxide levels considerably and solve our environmental problems. However, I think if just Al Gore stopped breathing for 20 min., that would also solve our environmental problems immediately.

the World Meteorological Organization says global temperatures have not risen in a decade

And now even the Gorebots are telling us that global warming will "pause" for at least a decade.

So that's 20 years of no warming, at what point does global warming quit?

[TigersEye]

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

I think it means that carbon based life forms will be slated for destruction.

Starting with the politically undesirable ones.

A very good question: "More than 90 percent of taxpayers refuse to use the $3 checkoff on their tax forms to fund campaigns—even though doing so would not increase their tax bill. Given such annual landslide "votes" against taxpayer funding, why is relying on it more virtuous than Obama's expected reliance on voluntary contributions from dedicated individuals?"

John McCain, Dec. 16, 1999 "I don’t believe in public financing because I don’t think my tax dollars should be used to fund a person’s campaign that I philosophically disagree with."

Who's the flip flopper now?

[Jim Noble]

Given that Earth is always warming or cooling, what is its proper temperature, and how do you know?

This is the only question for warmers that matters.

"If McCain can use this to panic leftists into accepting nuclear power, I’m all for it."

If he uses it to panic moderates into accepting cap and trade is that cool with you, too? I bet we get cap and trade with a President McCain a looong time before we ever get nuclear power. His Dem buddies will fight against nuke power, but they'll be all for cap and trade.
