McCain joins Democrats on climate issue

Made the headline more accurate.

[CapnJack]

“McCain joins democrats...” Well there’s a really unusual headline, huh?

That will be known as a "Standing Headline" in a McLame presidency.

[IMissPresidentReagan]

You beat me to the punch

[Virginia Ridgerunner]

Screw McCain and the jackass he rode in on.

[roamer_1]

Alrighty then, McCainiacs, Defend THIS one. Tell me how I should vote for him because he is so much better than Obama..

LOL!

What a POS!

[ecomcon]

It appears McCain is at least 20% better than an America hating marxist.

I think Thomas Alva Edison's elementary teacher told him he was addlepated for asking so many questions. Or maybe she just used the word "addled", which means pretty much the same thing.

Or this might have happened to George Westinghouse, founder of the technology company of the same name.

Sorry - yes, I made a C in history. But hey, most of it happened long before I was born.

[goldstategop]

I can't vote for someone who wants to strangle the economy to appease the climate hoaxsters. Sorry John - you had your chance and blew it!

I had to look it up also ... neat word.

Silver Lining? When has McCain actually delivered on something that had a Silver Lining? You believe he will deliver on the kind of Judges he has promised when Dingy Harry is already going on Fox News and saying how disappointed he is in John? The Commies finally got an election where they control all the candidates: the two Saul Alinski acolytes and the Vietcurian Candidate.

WE ARE SO SCREWED!

[Huck]

When has McCain actually delivered on something that had a Silver Lining?

He voted for both John Roberts and Samuel Alito.

You believe he will deliver on the kind of Judges he has promised

I believe it's at least 50/50 that he will nominate good judges. And that's a 50% better chance than we have with the other guy. That's not even debatable.

[SubMareener]

He voted for both John Roberts and Samuel Alito.

WOW! And on Alito, the YEAs were:

Akaka (D-HI) Alexander (R-TN) Allard (R-CO) Allen (R-VA) Baucus (D-MT) Bennett (R-UT) Bingaman (D-NM) Bond (R-MO) Brownback (R-KS) Bunning (R-KY) Burns (R-MT) Burr (R-NC) Byrd (D-WV) Cantwell (D-WA) Carper (D-DE) Chafee (R-RI) Chambliss (R-GA) Coburn (R-OK) Cochran (R-MS) Coleman (R-MN) Collins (R-ME) Conrad (D-ND) Cornyn (R-TX) Craig (R-ID)

Crapo (R-ID) DeMint (R-SC) DeWine (R-OH) Dole (R-NC) Domenici (R-NM) Dorgan (D-ND) Enzi (R-WY) Frist (R-TN) Graham (R-SC) Grassley (R-IA) Gregg (R-NH) Hatch (R-UT) Hutchison (R-TX) Inhofe (R-OK) Inouye (D-HI) Isakson (R-GA) Johnson (D-SD) Kohl (D-WI) Kyl (R-AZ) Landrieu (D-LA) Lieberman (D-CT) Lincoln (D-AR) Lott (R-MS) Lugar (R-IN)

Martinez (R-FL) McCain (R-AZ) McConnell (R-KY) Murkowski (R-AK) Nelson (D-FL) Nelson (D-NE) Pryor (D-AR) Roberts (R-KS) Rockefeller (D-WV) Salazar (D-CO) Santorum (R-PA) Sessions (R-AL) Shelby (R-AL) Smith (R-OR) Snowe (R-ME) Specter (R-PA) Stevens (R-AK) Sununu (R-NH) Talent (R-MO) Thomas (R-WY) Thune (R-SD) Vitter (R-LA) Voinovich (R-OH) Warner (R-VA)

So McCain votes with Bryd, Chafee, Dorgan, Inouye, Landrieu, and Rockefeller! What a Siver Lining!

[Huck]

LOL. Did you intentionally leave out the NAYS, or are you that unable to see the clear, relevant point? On the vote for Chief Justice Roberts, here are the NAYS:

NAYs ---22 Akaka (D-HI)
Bayh (D-IN)
Biden (D-DE)
Boxer (D-CA)
Cantwell (D-WA)
Clinton (D-NY)
Corzine (D-NJ)
Dayton (D-MN)
Durbin (D-IL)
Feinstein (D-CA)
Harkin (D-IA)
Inouye (D-HI)
Kennedy (D-MA)
Kerry (D-MA)
Lautenberg (D-NJ)
Mikulski (D-MD)
Obama (D-IL)
Reed (D-RI)
Reid (D-NV)
Sarbanes (D-MD)
Schumer (D-NY)
Stabenow (D-MI)

On the vote for Justice Alito, here are the NAYS:

Bayh (D-IN)
Biden (D-DE)
Boxer (D-CA)
Clinton (D-NY)
Dayton (D-MN)

Durbin (D-IL)
Feingold (D-WI)
Feinstein (D-CA)

Kennedy (D-MA)
Kerry (D-MA)
Lautenberg (D-NJ)
Leahy (D-VT)
Levin (D-MI)
Menendez (D-NJ)
Mikulski (D-MD)
Murray (D-WA)
Obama (D-IL)
Reed (D-RI)
Reid (D-NV)
Sarbanes (D-MD)
Schumer (D-NY)
Stabenow (D-MI)
Wyden (D-OR)

So there you have it. One candidate--MCCAIN--voted YEA on both Roberts and Alito. The other candidate--OBAMA--voted NAY on both.

It's not a debatable point. The facts are what they are. Did you intentionally hide the simple truth? Are you an OBAMA mole, or just dumb?

[MBB1984]

Yes we are. When I first saw the caption, I wondered why is this news? McCain has always joined the democrats.

[AngelesCrestHighway]

No conservative candidates were supported by the republican party?....You can thank those asshats also!

[goodnesswins]

...."Doug Holtz-Eaken, McCain's senior policy adviser, in a conference call later in the day."

A guy with TWO last names is his senior policy adviser......ooookkkkaaaayyyyyy......now I get it.

[lowbridge]

bump

[SubMareener]

Are you an OBAMA mole, or just dumb?

Neither! What part of "No Personal Attacks" didn't you understand?

[lowbridge]

"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."

There is nothing, NOTHING, "free market" about an artificial, government mandated, "cap and trade".
