What's amusing in all this is that BC is trying to convince us that Mark Sanford is some big, bad cap-and-trader, even though Sanford's commission called for things like, among others, voluntary reductions, market-based solutions to CO2 emissions (i.e. letting capitalism do its magic), carpooling lanes, and net metering. In other words, the whole approach by Sanford is one of reducing CO2 emissions by increasing economic efficiency.

Of course, BC has little room for criticising Sanford about this since, in 2004, Mitt Romney, while saying he personally is "agnostic" about the causes of climate change, basically signed off on the Massachusetts Climate Protection Plan at the behest of radical environmentalists. Apparently, Gov. Romney is willing to sign off on stuff he doesn't even necessarily believe in.

Talk about not having any principles.

Right now I don’t know much about Sanford and if this was a thread truly about him, I would simply read what his supporters and detractors have to say.

This isn’t a thread about Sanford though, this is a a part of the Romney machine attack that will try to pick off and weaken every serious conservative challenger to Mitt that exists and so far to me Mark Sanford sounds like one of those top three or four to date.

BarnacleCenturion signed up here as part of the Romney machine and that is what drives his posting here, his goal is to weaken challengers not to promote conservatism.

The Romney machine must attack this great pool of young conservative winners and bring them down a couple of notches to elevate their store bought package of mediocracity.
