‘’Every time a cow farts, another polar bear drowns.’’ - John McCain

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.

I've got a question.

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.

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”.

Climate Policy Should Be Built On Scientifically-Sound, Mandatory Emission Reduction Targets And Timetables.

What about scientifically sound scientific evidence? What about that, huh Juan?

What can one say but "wrong... clueless... destructive... etc."

This simply MUST be stopped. McCain first introduced this in 2003 and has only grown more deliberate in forcing through this ill-conceived scheme that will do nothing but enrich the few, destroy the economy, and subject us to more international laws. And this seems to be his number ONE domestic policy issue. I don't care what letter he chooses to put next to his name, the man is dangerous.

There are too many things to criticize in his global warming position. I will say that the Climate Change Credit Corporation is a real doozie!

Wealth redistribution and global governance--is this the new "brand" for the GOP?
