This is why he needs to surround himself with more people very different from himself in his cabinet. Palin is a great start but I want him outnumbered.

At the end of the day it’s still McCain. It’s who he is.

Amnesty, Cap and Trade, Global warming, Billions to Africa for Aids, etc..

you can believe in AGW and still be against cap and trade or a carbon tax. I’m for more nuclear power and lower taxes (no, not skewed tax credits) and the free market will lead to new technologies. The solution to any problem (assuming AGW is real and a problem) must come naturally and not forced.

Global Warming? Nope, it is an Algore faux crisis.

Global Cooling? Maybe. Sunspots are down and indicates a natural period of slight cooling? Climate Change? Mmmm just right. No matter what is wrong (warming or cooling) it's all our fault. We gotta do something to protect our phony-baloney jobs! Hurumph, hurumph, hurumph!

I'm not surprised at all. This was from the NH primary time frame.

I expect him to stick a few knives in our back but Obama would be worse. That's why I'm voting for John McCain.

“The same human economic activity that has brought freedom and opportunity to billions has also increased the amount of carbon in the atmosphere. While the scope and longterm consequences of this are the subject of ongoing scientific research, common sense dictates that the United States should take measured and reasonable steps today to reduce any impact on the environment,” the platform states.

At least they've left themselves some room to later argue that "measured and reasonable steps" do not include any "cap and trade" system or other mandatory reductions in carbon dioxide emissions.

McCarthy said there was compromise on both sides, but assured the audience the section would be “based on science.”

My friends, I will gather up all the carbon in the atmosphere and, by scientifically squashing it between my bare hands, turn it into diamonds for you.

Think of it as a way to push innovation and new tech in the future.

“If you don’t support McCain, then you support Obama!”
No. I don’t like McCain’s liberal positions.
If you say you don’t support either, due to their liberal policy positions, e.g global warming, then you are stupid.
But supporting conservatives on a conservative site isn’t stupid...
Then you’re just mean. So why don’t you go vote for Obama?
Because he’s a radical leftist.
Then why not vote for McCain?
Because I want to influence him to support conservative positions and he won’t do that if we roll over for his “moderate” positions.
Well, that’s just stupid.
No, it’s healthy self-interest.
You’re just being mean. Hey, he chose a conservative veep!
Great. Now, take some lessons from her and walk like a conservative.
Well, if you don’t support McCain, you must like Kucinich.
No, I don’t support liberals.
So—you like Hitler?
No....
