Comments on: John McCain, Tree-Hugging Liberal?

The Nation: The Arizona Senator Isn't Really Serious About Climate Change

[gkc99]

Since Cindy McCain, the uber-rich woman who pays the bills in the McCain household, won''t reveal her financial interests, we really don''t know what John McCain might or might not do on any issue, including global warming.

What are Cindy McCain''s positions? She holds the pursestrings and is the money behind John McCain''s grab for the throne.

But we just can''t seem to learn anything, even via our brave press, about this shadowy, secretive treasurer of John McCain''s push for power. Her family, her politics, her money well are all hidden in the mist.

So the big question is, what does Cindy McCain think John should do on the global warming issue? What does Cindy''s pocketbook say?

Well, if John McCain is a tree-hugging Liberal,
than I''m a short-legged, two time''n, whiskey drink''n, long-haired, Conservative from MARS!

I''m not...and he ain''t, either!

John McCain is a clone of Bush.

McCain''s thoughts, ideas, solutions, plans, programs, seem to come to him from someone within the Bush administartion and are as out of touch with reality and the American people as Bush has been throughout his term.

If anyone wants more of the same and votes for McCain, they should be pitied as being as ignorant as he and Bush are.

Gimme a break.....

Please tell hatchet man, John Nichols, that McCain is a moderate with some common sense.

Bush has his head buried in the sand.

The Democratic solution is often accomplished with excessive regulations and very high cost. This is why we haven''t any nuclear power plants or off-shore oil drilling.

Tried to steer around the tree with a whole 5 minutes of driving experience and KASMOOCH!!! Face got a bit of an organic raspin'' all right.....Cherry tree (1) - Me (0)

Just because the Republicans put up a senile liberal democrat as their candidate, is no reason for him to go drive off a cliff.

I guess we have the spectacle of three prize fools vying for the title of dumbest person in Washington.

There are "tree huggers" of a sort in the Republican Party. They are called sportsmen. Most of them understand the relationship bwtweeen man and nature. when Reagan had a big mouth in his admin spouting off about drilling here and there in parks and hunting areas he got fired. Why? Because not all environmentalists are on the left. There is plenty of concern to go around. I am not suprised that McCain is more environmental than the current admin. Just about anybody is more in touch than the current admin.

"change the conservative agenda to one that is moral"

This is the type of comment that reflects partisan behavior without understanding the issues underneath the parties, however distorted the actions of both parties may be. The classic left-right divide is one between maximizing equality vs. maximizing freedom while realizing that both cannot simultaneously be maximized. It is one thing for a leftist to think that maximizing equality is more important. It is another to argue that anyone who takes the opposite view of the importance of freedom is inherently immoral.

One can take a cynical view of the Democrats too- tax other people and give the money to me. I am not defending the Republicans, only critiquing blind partisanship.
