Short and to the point.

As hard as they're trying to sell him, John McCain is NOT a conservative. He was a war hero. He's become just another career politician.

Bob Barr is starting to look better every day....

[TigersEye]

Someone forgot to send the memo to the Senator. Glowball Warming is over.

I won't vote for a candidate who wants government to solve a non-existent problem.

Excellent !

 

Beam me to Planet Gore !

[Wolfie]

Somebody probably sent him some stock options in a Global Warming profiteering business.

When the troops come home from fighting the war in the Middle East, they’ll find that great leader McCain has stationed a UN communist and a federal fascist bureaucrat on their doorstep to steal their money and tell them how to run every inch of their lives.

Off thread ping: Free Republic thread replies are refreshing s-l-o-o-o-w-l-y this morning.

We've heard that before. You'd think McCain would have learned that government isn't cut out for this sort of thing.

Perhaps if it were to be repeated to him in Spanish...? ;)

I said that yesterday on another thread. All hell broke loose among McCainiacs. They made fools of themselves trying to one-up each other in denouncing me. It was fun.

The only two points made (besides calling me all kinds of names) were 1) Anyone not voting for McCain was insuring a Democrat victory, 2) Not voting for McCain was a vote against the troops.

It seemed there's a lot of fear within the McCain camp (at least among it's proponents here on FR.

Obama is a better argument for McCain than McCain is.

[Dick Vomer]

John McCain is following in the footsteps of John Glenn, John F'ing Kerry,

Duke Cunningham

, John Murtha,

the other "Kerrey" Bob Kerrey,

Jim Webb , ,

John R. Warner,

Arlen Specter,

Bill Nelson .

Daniel K. Akaka,

Christopher J. Dodd,

Lindsey Graham,

Tom Harkins,

Daniel Inouye,

and of course that old Army veteran Edward Kennedy

just because you served doesn't mean you conservative as the above list indicates....Global Warming, can this guy be anymore of an end point of the large intestine....?.

The Global Warming Scam = Level out the U.S. economy with countries certain speculators have invested in for manufacturing and trade.

There can be no other reason why we do not pursue realistic energy solutions, do not pursue realistic economic solutions that keep jobs within U.S. citizens' grasp and tank the dollar against other world currency.

Most politicians' talk today is the equivalent of what would make my dad throw traveling salesmen out the door back in the day.

"Bob Barr is starting to look better every day...."


He sure is.

[sheana]

McCain has been in D.C. over 20 yrs. He is part of the problem, not the solution.

Yep. That is the sad truth.

[calcowgirl]

I always forget to look at taglines, but just noticed yours--it is exceptional!

To heck with a third party. We need a second one.

Yep. Wealth redistribution and global governance, all in one fell swoop!

I think this article summed it up quite well:

... global warming ... a long-term program designed to push several separate agendas -- political control, economic centralization, and the Green worldview -- under the umbrella of "saving the planet".

The communists would have been proud of this scheme as it accomplishes so many things under one label.

Government mandated snake oil... a requirement for every home. ;-)

Thanks. It’s been around awhile. Haven’t seen the need to trade it in yet. :)
