Comments on: McCain Breaks With Bush On Climate Change

Urges Free-Market Principles And "Effective Diplomacy" To Reduce Global Warming

[cfin5]

j,...You too. Sorry for bouncing in and out of here tonight. Been kinda busy.

"Free-Market Principles". Yes, that is the solution to global warming. In fact it''s the solution to every problem according to the Republicans. Don''t regulate industry at all. Let them do whatever they want to do.

[mydogdylan6]

Is Republican Johnny Mac suggesting more government regulation over business? I bet the GOP fat cats aren''t cheering this idea. That might cut into their dividends. Probably cost them $.02/share. Lord knows we can''t have that.

I don''t even know what the Republicans are supposed to represent these days. It used to be small government and a hands off approach to business. Except when business needed help crushing any pesky labor issues. (Thanks Ronnie)

Now, "small government" means the largest deficit in American history, the largest debt in American history, government spending at previously unheard of levels, and more international borrowing than ever before.

They''ll still try to slam the Dems and claim they''re the ones who will spend away and "raise your taxes". While, of course, the GOP will promose to lower taxes - at least for upper 2%. And why not? They''ll just tranfer all that debt to future generations of Americans. No one will ever have to pay for all their reckless spending right?

Running the goverment should be no different than balancing your check book. If you don''t have it, don''t spend it. The Dems managed to have a balanced budget by the late 90''s. Cheney and the boys apparently decided that was a bad idea. Even though we''re losing jobs and have stagnant wages in the US, I''m glad to know that at least Exxon and Halibuton are still making record profits every year. Gives me warm fuzzies.

Rush has been dittoing the Repub line of no such thing as global warming or climate change for years.

This makes him a liar.

[prinzowhales]

The Global Warming Scam is so completely, so utterly intellectually contemptible that I would be very surprised that McWar did not endorse it along with the two other New World Order flaks--Obama and Clinton.

People stupid enough to vote for Demopublican garbage get what they deserve. The lies coughed up by Al Gore alone on global warming probably exceed the 935+ lies told by the Bush Regime in support of their war of aggression against Iraq.

Being President of the U.S. is complex and what makes it so complex is the diverse makeup of the United States. The U.S. President has to be President for all U.S. Citizens whether is agrees with their political agenda or not, he or she is still their President. More than any other candidates you get the feeling Sen. John McCain and Sen. Barack Obama both would be President for all Americans and now it up to America to decide which direction it wants to go in. Many Republicans don''t like McCain and I think that''s good for America because it indicates we have a real American here, not a real Republican, Sen. McCain deserves serious consideration!

cfin5,,,, Catch you later, good talking to you.

[cfin5]

j,...Sorry, I''ve never heard of this Norquist guy. The Founding Fathers were so eloquent in the reasons why they did what they did,....I would vote for anybody who mirrors them best.

[j-whitman]

cfin5..... Yes, I totally agree with you on that. Have you had a chance to listen to Grover Norquist on the republican concept of smaller government ?? It''s the direction this GOP is taking our country. ----

His concept is our government should only be large enough to defend the country. And he''s a leading White House advisor who''s views are accepted all the way to the party chairman... That''s the direction they are taking our country, just toss out our Constitution.

I''ll always say with a rapidly growing country & global problems --- A smaller government is catestrophic... People should be insisting on an effecient government.

[randynason]

Dumb-Dumb might have more crediblity if he had stood up to Bush prior to his endorsement from Bush. Given the timing, MacCain seems like more of an as*-kissing schmuck than a cool maverick. He''s a Party-man, pure and simple. Republicans are going down the drain like the human wastes they are. Bye-bye-

[j-whitman]

matvei1107,,,, Just what McCain ideas sound good ??? More of the same destructive foreign policies, ignoring the hero''s & veterans who return home, killing the livelyhoods of American farmers, continuing massive borrowing & pandering to America''s enemy''s ?? More Endless Wars ??? Attacking Iran ????

[cfin5]

j,....Whoever gets elected, we all have to live with it. That is why I want the best American on either side to finish the race unto the election. I did not participate, nor agree with this operation chaos stuff I heard about. To me it smacks as dishonest and a sort of "the end justifies the means" thing, like cheating while gambling at the same time. I don''t like either vice.

[j-whitman]

cbville72,,,, You open your mouth & trash yourself as you always have. You still don''t know jack squat

[j-whitman]

cfin5,,,, I don''t put much credibility in the electibility concept --- Bush got elected with a **** poor record & zero experiance except with the party.

I do like Webb, he''ll be a strong contender sooner or later.

[cbville72]

cbville72,,, I don''''t believe you''''ve ever heard me say all democrats are good,,, And yes, not all republicans are bad. just wrong

Thanks for the 5th grader abridged version of your views and thanks even more for announcing it publicly.
It is true then that age does not beget intelligence in any way...Especially in your case.
You''ve made that abundantly clear. Have a great night. I''ve trashed you quite enough for one night.

[j-whitman]

cbville72,,, I don''t believe you''ve ever heard me say all democrats are good,,, And yes, not all republicans are bad. just wrong

[cbville72]

I found out long ago that you are neither intelligent nor mature enough (even though you are over 50) to have a debate on ANY subject. Your infantile EVERYTHING LEFT and ALL DEMOCRATS ARE GOOD AND ALL REPUBLICANS ARE BAD mentality is ridiculous. You are swayed not by what is right or wrong on ANY issue, but always on what a republican did wrong and why a republican is to blame for everything. I don''''t try to persuade you on any issue.
I just make fun of you and cast your 5th grade mentality (and grammar) into the limelight where everyone can see what a fool you are.

Thanks for making it easy and Thank GOD I AM NOT A WHITMAN.

[cfin5]

Funny that Jim Webb was mentioned. He is the one guy I really thought would jump into the presidential race even though Reed politically shackled him with a few remarks. He''s much more electable than Obama.

[j-whitman]

cfin5,,, Yes, we agree --- Personally, I feel if a man lies to this country in high office or running for it as much as what''s been going on they should surrender their citizenship on the spot.

You made an good point on the patents, I haven''t heard anything on that in quite awhile.

A President that Really & Truly Cares about Americans and their home plights.


The U.S. House of Representatives opened debate on Wednesday on a bill (HR 5830) that would create a $300 billion fund to save homeowners from foreclosure, but President George W. Bush threatened to VETO the legislation which he said would "reward speculators and lenders."


The plan looks certain to pass the Democrat-controlled House and the bill''s sponsors expect many Republicans will defy the president and back their measure in the face of the current housing crisis.

Declining home values and rising foreclosures over the past 12 months have darkened the mood of U.S. consumers and pushed the economy toward recession. Recent reports show consumer confidence hit a five-year low in April, while home prices booked a record drop in February.

The Democratic plan combines a variety of new measures as well as some already-passed legislation in a bulky bill largely crafted by Rep. Barney Frank, chairman of the House Financial Services committee.

Significantly, nearly a third of Republicans on Frank''s committee voted for his portions of the housing bill.

Late on Tuesday, the White House threatened to veto the housing plan and took particular aim at a provision that would deliver $15 billion of federal grants to cities and towns so that they could buy foreclosed homes that are in disrepair.
