It’s not quite Birkenstocks and tie-dyed T-shirts, but presumptive Republican presidential nominee Sen. John McCain (Ariz.) has shown he’s willing to go the extra mile to embrace the global warming movement.
The latest sign of that is the recently introduced “eco-friendly” campaign merchandise the McCain campaign has showcased on its Web site. Included are his and hers “Go Green” McCain embroidered polo shirts, T-shirts, hats and visors with or without the recycle logo. Organic cotton onesies for the babies. You can also find “Go Green” McCain tote bags, notebooks and travel mugs (with up to 100 percent recycled material and an “enhanced biodegradability additive”).
This is the latest move by McCain to show his willingness to include so-called “green” issues as part of his campaign’s platform. This comes on the heels of a May 12 speech in which he addressed global warming. He also used the opportunity to take a swipe at policy under the Bush administration.
“I will not shirk the mantle of leadership that the United States bears. I will not permit eight long years to pass without serious action on serious challenges. I will not accept the same dead-end of failed diplomacy that claimed Kyoto,” McCain said in the speech.

The science is settled, and we have reached a consensus: John McCain is an idiot.
Anyone who disagrees is a denier.
On July 25, 1997, John Kerry and Ted Kennedy, along with 93 other senators (with five senators not voting and none voting in opposition) adopted a resolution stating that ‘the United States should not be a signatory to any protocol to, or other agreement regarding, the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change of 1992, at negotiations in Kyoto.’
I’ll deny ever voting for him.........
...”Sen. John McCain (Ariz.) has shown he’s willing to go the extra mile to embrace the global warming movement.”
Embrace this, pal...What the hell is wrong with this guy???
I tried to read the article and kept gagging. Then I clicked on my iTunes, Jimmy Buffett’s “Fruitcakes”.
I was able to get through the article and keep my breakfast down.
Go Green! An empty slogan that grants instant nobility to the narcisist who wears it. I was recently at a conference where they were trumpeting that the backpack the materials were in was “green” and made from recycled materials. I found it deliciously ironic that mine joined others stuffed into a trashcan in the lobby.
I'm not going to take it sitting down however.
What Total BS!
John McCain is clearly Pandering!
At this time, I’m having a hard time separating gangrene from the Green-gang.
No, don’t.
It goes in easier if you stand up and bend over.
nooooooo, no pandering to the left here! Absolutely not! He panders to everybody equally.
I can't stand him....and can't vote for him.
they can call it a rose, it still stinks as pandering to the left’s socialist agenda.
McCain does not realize we are not dependent on CNN for information.
Not pandering to the left? The only OTHER conclusion is stupid. The McCain campaign MIGHT want to back off a bit on the whole global warming schtick for a while...to regroup and discover information like the global temperature drop and the recovery of the ice cap.
He knows he canNOT take the 'traditional base' for granted,,,,and so he realizes that he's got to make up for conservatives like me that will NOT vote for him.
Every time , I try to warm to him,,,,he sticks his finger in the conservatives' eye.
His latest 'giving the finger' to conservatives is his endorsement of the far-left, big government, global plan for "CAP AND TRADE". This new effort at 'big brother' control of the private sector will create a new government bureaucracy and lots of lawyers jobs (just what we need,,,,/s).
CAP AND TRADE is the latest effort to achieve a world government (and a government knows what is best for us all) that tells us how we should live, what we should consume, and how much of it can consume. No thanks, John.
McCain & AlGore for President 2008!
The only way to save our planet folks.
For this lifelong Republican, this is the last straw. Screw McCain, I’ll sit it out. I wouldn’t even believe him when he says he’d appoint conservative judges.
An empty slogan that grants instant nobility to the narcisist who wears it.

Brilliant!
