‘’Every time a cow farts, another polar bear drowns.’’ - John McCain
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.
How much digging have you done to damage or slow down the candidacy of Barak Obama?
I'm NOT accusing you of being for Barak. I am alleging that Bush Derangement Syndrome of the left has morphed somewhat into McCain Derangement Syndrome of many on the right.
Obama is such a threat to the conservative cause and the nations well being and so many on the right are doing NOTHING to stop his ascent. Why? Because they are so consumed with the failures of John McCain.
I suggest you get up to speed on things. I’ve been battling the Anti-McCainians for months. Not that I love McCain but that I am shocked at their propagandist tactics and intimidation of those who would vote for McCain as a vote against Barack.
I prefer a rational debate on McCains positions and have been individually posting them, from his website, for over a week. Hiding McCains positions on issues such as immigration or globull warming is no better than the ant-McCainiacs trying to misrepresent where he stands onissues we would agree with.
I say get it all out in the open so ignorance can be defeated.
I figure at the very least to get the full blown McCain haters to direct their efforts against Obama and it might be constructive.
I have seen the other position posts but the “BARF alert” made me think this was a knock off post patterned to look like your others but designed to whip up the haters.
Again, I don't think said anything to apologize for but if I did, I am sorry.
You McCainiacs need to keep up. :)
You implied I was “digging”, for what I don’t know, something on McCain. I took that post directly off his website...hardly digging.
You then implied because I wasn’t doing any “digging” on obama I was working against McCain and for obama.
I understand you may be a little quick to pull the trigger after what we have seen from the anti-McCainiacs these last few months, but a little less knee jerking on either side would be good for FR.
How Does A Cap-And-Trade System Work?
Cap prosperity.
Trade-in freedom.
I want someone who believes McCain is acceptable to conservatives to explain to me how this is a “market-based system”.

ROTFLMAO... but then, he admitted that he doesn't know anything about economics.
Wait-a-sec. This really isn't funny. I'm not laughing. I'm crying...
ROTFCMAO
As per your quote - I’m not inclined to vote for a guy stupid enough to believe all of this global warming crap. And you can perhaps get some of the votes from the dumb moderates that believe in it - but sway the conversation to energy independence, lower prices, using new technology, etc.
Of course Obama thinks there are 58 states......
If McCain pushes this issue, i will stay home in November. I cannot in good conscience vote for someone who supports such dangerous policies. Is Obama worse? Of course he is. But this is my last straw. The GOP gets NO MORE $$$$ from me until they understand this.
This environmental activism is based on absolute crap!

Kudos. You finally posted it and as always seek to take the high road. We get the choice of the lesser of two poisons offered this go-around and you’re worried about fairness... and somehow managing to claim victimhood for McCain at the same time on some issues, even tho you’re not really for him,, uh huh.
Cumulatively, he sucks, the party sucks, they have inflicted more body shots to their own base than anyone and they know it, more than a few polls reflect it, yet they remain yolked to a millstone that will eventually sink them into anonymity for another 50 years.
btw, I haven’t seen one damn person here who said they would vote FOR Obama.
From aRnie to McCain, the message is clear, Screw you, Conservatives! Talk about your anti- agenda.
Ya reap what ya sow. I guess that’s what we get letting a few seize the reins of the party. More chickens coming home to roost.
Love the continued ‘broad brush’ as well. Fitting of an anti-McCainian (Progre$$ive) crusader.
btw, I’d name some names, call them out, the propagandists and intimidators, that is, if you feel so strongly. Heck, It might be interesting and informative too.
If anything the delegates should consider ditching their nominees for both parties and starting over , this marathon primary season has done little to offer much hope for many , in fact, quite a few have seen what could well lay ahead with either of the presumptive nominees elected.
It’s not too late for sanity to return to the stage ..
Of course it will strengthen the Economy by burdening it with oppressive Emissions payments, just like increasing taxes will stimulate the economy \barf. This is just Clintonomics warmed over.
I was attempting to post them in the order they are on the McCain site but they have been switched around, more than once it appears.
Doesn’t matter, they’ll all go up eventually.
