While I admit this is appalling ... maybe this is a clever move.

If he uses concern for “global warming” as an excuse to ramp up construction of nuclear power facilities maybe this isn’t a bad thing.

He’s already said that he won’t sign on to any global warming treaty unless China and India are on board - which ain’t ever going to happen.

Maybe there is a CHANCE that this is for show, to make a symbolic, meaningless gesture to dim-witted eco swing voters who CARE about the VIRONMENT without having any real negative effects; indeed if we get more nuke power plants built it could be a net positive!

Your theory is very interesting !

Let’s hope you’re right. If there’s any ‘there’ there with McCain’s pander to the enviro-wackos, we’re in a heap o’ trouble.

I'd love to think that. It just doesn't seem possible for McCain to be as bad a candidate as he appears.

Odds are you are right that it’s all a subterfuge, and nothing will really happen under his incumbency. Otherwise, who in hell is giving him advice? Who’s NOT telling him we’re into global cooling for the last 10 years? Is he just being manipulated in believing this crud? Maybe he never reads up on the science himself. I’d really like to know who’s his climate advisor.

I don't know about anyone else, but I am tired of my so-called leaders playing political games.

I don't want to have to read between the lines as to where my GOP leadership is going.

I want somebody to communicate to me straight up, where my party is going.

IMHO this is one area that GWB and Rove really have screwed up, trying to be too cute by half with the political games.

Give me communicator, an actual leader, like our beloved former leader Reagan.

I pray God himself rids my party of these worthless politicians that are vying for control like McCain.

He wouldn’t have been fighting tooth and nail for McCain-Lieberman since 2003 if he wasn’t serious. You think prices are high now, wait until we have carbon cap and trade, compliments of President McCain. It will act as a hidden tax and raise the price of every manufactured and transported good. He’s a true believer, face it.
