Beam me to Planet Gore !
John McCain is using the idea of global togetherness to promote “a cap-and-trade system” to battle climate change. He said “Americans and Europeans need to get serious about substantially reducing greenhouse gas emissions in the coming years or we will hand over a much-diminished world to our grandchildren.”
McCain’s Cap and Trade system would allows for gradual reduction of emissions would control business production and create more bureaucracy to issue permits...require more accountability of govt to meet goals and deadlines.This is 1 step short of nationalizing businesses.
After they go after the big boys, Cap and Trade will be applied to you...you will be tracked as they drive down your standard of living.
Oh shut up McCain. You aren’t helping getting yourself elected with stupid talk like that. At the very least, you could try keep up to date on the “global warming” farce instead of trying to be “popular” and parroting that idiotic nonsense..
Please God, send us a miracle, send us an independent candidate to vote for.
(Shakes head. Walks off into sunset.)
I’m partial to the new “Climate Change Credit Corporation” and the “Change Deficit Reduction Fund” that are part of the Senate bill.
I give them credit for knowing how to create huge bureaucracies. Pricetags, nor the Constitution, ever seem to matter. If only McCain would apply some of his new-found outrage for activist-judges to kick the activist-Senators in the arse. If only he had one nth the passion for controlling the border that he does for controlling the weather (Chasing windmills seem to be his preferred choice).
When it comes to OPM, they seem to have no limits. What’s a few trillion among friends, anyway.
I’ve heard people actually advocating preemptive measures to combat global warming, such as bioengineering co2 eating super-algae or setting off nuclear weapons to trigger a mild nuclear winter effect. All they need is a president stupid enough to try it.
But not China...

Whay are the enviro-nuts not complaining about these cities?
Talk about hubris: it’s impossible to fight natural global phenomena / cycles & trends.
McCain has absolutely no business being anywhere near the oval office. If Obama is elected, McCain has no one to blame but himself. I certainly won’t vote for the fool.
McCain is rock stupid and if anyone could lose to Obama, it would be McCain. I can’t vote for this man so I surely hope he knows what he is doing. When he figures out the independents and mushy middle won’t get him elected he might make some overtures to conservatives. Personally, his overtures will be too late. The GOP has lost its collective mind and has jumped the rails. Is a decent candidate, a semi-capable leader too much to ask? Have we really come this far to piss it all away in one election cycle?
I’ll save my farts for him. fu-kin idiot
Next you will hear that your barbecue grill causes global warming and you need a $500 permit to grill your steak to offset your CO2 contribution. And McCain will lap up this eco-fascist propaganda. He is stupid beyond measure.
Ronald Reagan fought regulation. John McCain brought regulation.
National Socialism
I guess the Democraps have tons of DUmmies and the GOP has a great big dummy as a candidate.
The way I see it is this:
Obama will screw this country up pretty bad for the next four years through his ultra-liberal hate-America-first ideas and relative inexperience.
McCain will screw this country up pretty bad for the next four years through his pretty-dang-liberal reach-across-the-aisle ideas and so much experience he will get both sides to go along with him.
In the first scenario - the dems will get the blame, we will have finally had the “first black president” (so maybe we can finally move on) and people will be ready to vote for REAL change - IF - a good conservative will step up to lead us out of this wilderness.
In the second scenario - the republicans will get the blame - people will be so sick to death of the party that they will vote for ANYTHING as long as it isn’t a republican! Probably, at that point - Hillary will be ready for her comeback - and we’ll still have to worry about that.
McCain is a pompous, deluded idiot. No matter who wins, we are so screwed - I would rather the dems get the blame for it than the republicans. No way does this man get my vote - let the chips fall where they may. A vote for McCain is another nail in the GOP’s coffin.
The “Cap and Trade” on freedom is what will give a diminished world to our children.
My letter to the GOP:
Dear Mr. Duncan,
I didn’t think there was much more the GOP and John McCain could do to alienate their conservative base (amnesty, campaign finance, out of control spending, etc.). Clearly, I was wrong. With more and more evidence and public opinion contradicting our ability to warm or cool the planet, you folks have gone off the deep end for one thing; Politics. This used to be the party of Goldwater and Reagan. If we could only tap the energy being created by those two spinning in their collective graves, we’d solve our energy problems. Oh wait, I have an idea. Why doesn’t the GOP get in the trenches and start fighting for; 1) drilling in Anwar, 2) drilling in the Dakota’s, 3) allowing refinery to be built in the USA (remember us) which hasn’t been done in over 40 years, 4) undoing a Clinton executive order that bars Utah from mining the largest clean burning coal deposits in the world ( can you say Riady, sure you can).
I can trust a liberal, because I know where he’s coming from. I can’t trust the GOP, because the RINO’S are running the party and I don’t know what they stand for anymore.
Sincerely and with great sadness and disappointment,
John Haines
