The local TV news showed a video of McCain being greeted by the addlepated Gov. Kulungoski before his speech and I commented to my wife that WE ARE SO SC***ED.

This RINO @ssclown is going to be the Republican’s Jimmah Carter. We’ll spend the rest of our lives pointing to his presidency as an example of what NOT to do.

No matter who wins the White House it will be of that age in which we will look back and know how we became a third world nation.

I'm going to the polls to vote local. If I don't everyone from school board to mayor will be Alinsky-quoting Stalinists. Same at the state level.

It's inevitable that the three presidential candidates would latch on to Global Warming, if you are under 24 you have spent your life being indoctrinated, there is no alternative, it's the truth, Algor is a savior of the Earth. They will not vote for someone who does not go along.

I highly recommend "I Am Legend". That'll cheer you up and give you hope on election night ....or you can watch the Obambi tsunami election results come in and get the same warm and fuzzy feeling./s/

He endorsed nuclear power and proposed to crack down on China and India if they don't adopt similar caps to control their accelerating emissions.

See? There's always a silver lining. I've seen freepers elsewhere complaining that we need to promote nuke energy--there it is. That's a clear difference between McCain and the others. And I've also seen freepers complain that no one hassles China about their horrendous pollution. OK, there it is.

I know it's a drag to hear McCain getting on board the green bandwagon, BUT....if he brings nuke power to the table, is it all bad? No. Is there a difference between the candidates? Yes. Sure, go ahead and pout. Stay home. Surrender. But there IS a difference between the candidates. Smaller than usual perhaps, but still a difference.

She supports nuke power? I hadn't heard that. Gotta link to that story?

Not denied.

Carbon Dioxide IS a greenhouse gas.

As is water vapor.

Water vapor has an effect on the heat retention and heat transfer of the planet’s biosphere of anywhere from a couple hundred times to well over a thousand times that of carbon dioxide.

Carbon dioxide is PLANT FOOD. Without it, photosynthesis CANNOT take place, resulting in no replenishment of the oxygen in the atmosphere, and no creation of carbohydrates.

In fact, for optimal plant growth, the CO2 concentration of the atmosphere should be about three or four times what it now is.

Even at this concentration, its effect on animal life is minimal, except it causes human beings to breathe just a little deeper. In fact, without the presence of CO2, people would not be induced to take a breath at all.

This is McCain (from This Week, February 17, 2008) [emphasis added]:
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.

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.
No wonder McCain admits he doesn't know much about economics.

[Hint, JohnnyMc: Consumers. And a majority of consumers are also taxpayers. So, all that corporate profit will cost the taxpayers.]

There is no silver lining when your candidate just says what ever is put in front of him, with no regard for reason or evidence. The guy's a freaking moron, and I'm completely apathetic.

I have no plans other than to watch the world go to hell.
