As a matter of fact, he doesn't even care about the Constitution....especially not when it concerns something as "trite" as the First Amendment....you know, McCain-Feingold.

Lieberman-McCain, too! McCain is already digging in his heels and spitting in the face of conservatives, not only refusing to fight with the liberals, but championing their goals! Who will fight this if we have a President McCain?

What are McCain's views on global warming? (EXCERPT--published 2/16/08)

The presumptive Republican presidential nominee, John McCain, swiped today at his two Democratic rivals' efforts on global warming and vowed to fend off pressure from conservatives in the GOP base for him to change his own positions on the issue.

In an interview, the Arizona senator insisted he has shown stronger leadership on the climate issue compared with either of the Democratic candidates, Sens. Barack Obama of Illinois and Hillary Rodham Clinton of New York.

"They've never proposed any legislation," McCain said. "They've never been involved in any discussion or debate on that issue that I know of. I've been in a leadership role. That's dramatically different."

McCain's comments about the Democrats' global warming positions came less than an hour after he won endorsements from three top House Republicans, Minority Leader John Boenher of Ohio, Minority Whip Roy Blunt of Missouri and conference Chairman Adam Putnam of Florida.

The three lawmakers' positions on climate policy differ starkly from McCain's, but the senator insisted public opinion is behind him and that he would not be swayed to change his own stance.

None, because all the RINOS in Congress will back him, and all those elected with the letter (R) after their name will be beat up if they don't get behind the (R) in the White House.

“The three lawmakers’ positions on climate policy differ starkly from McCain’s, but the senator insisted public opinion is behind him and that he would not be swayed to change his own stance.”

Public “opinion” used to support the belief that the Earth was flat. So much for conventional wisdom.

Most of our “government educated” citizens believe whatever new fad or crisis the pseudo-science gods of the MSM pontificate. Legitimate science, that which holds to the scientific principles of objective observation, experimentation, and verifying of theory through repetition of results, does not support anthropological global warming (climate change).

John McCain has yet to prove the legitimacy of any claim he has made, both in science and in politics. The man is a demagogue and a habitual liar, more dangerous than Clinton, because McCain knows no limits. His temperament fits perfectly with that of a Machiavellian tyrant. He would make himself ipso-facto emperor. His ego is that of a dictator, a megalomaniac with messianic delusions of personal godhood.

In his thirst for power, John McCain would do irreparable damage to the nation... possibly even catastrophic. His unpredictable temper may well set us on the road to WW-III with the Russians and Chinese. Owing to his POW experience in Viet Nam, McCain harbors a visceral hatred for Asiatic peoples, a resentment so intense that it will color his judgment on core issues of foreign policy. This makes him damaged goods, the epitome of the “ugly American,” and thus unfit for the role of CIC.
