Just heard on Laura Ingram Show, The reason McCain turned green is because

The Laura Ingram Radio Show ^ | 5/12/08 | Laura Ingram show

The reason John McCain turned green is because he met a little boy in a penguin suit who spoke to him about global warming.

This came out while she had a guest on her show named Kris, and he also said that a paper recently compared McCain's energy policy to Obama's and McCain's is 99% of Obama's so the paper of course endorsed Obama's plan.

Our man is really a complete idiot.

[RexBeach]

OK, so my list of reasons to vote for McCain has just been reduced to one item(thanks to a fellow Freeper), and here it is:

He ain’t Obama.

[stockpirate]

This is way too funny and very sad for our party.

Laura said she dosn’t want conservatism’s name attacted to any part of this endery policy of McCain’s.

[CAluvdubya]

Our man is really a complete idiot.

But then we knew that.

[Long Island Pete]

And here I thought it was because he had a conversation with Kermit The Frog.

[boomop1]

The media chose this moron to punish us.

[massgopguy]

Or did he watch Billy Madison?

[lexusppd]

Do you believe everything you hear? You are a Liberals dream

[stockpirate]

He is Obama, just a little older and he is white.

[Sprite518]

Yeah the Republican party is a liberal party period.

There are still some conservatives, but they are being ran out. I am sorry, but I will NEVER vote for McNut

[levotb]

And as logic would have it, anyone who votes for this fool is also an...

[668 - Neighbor of the Beast]

Fix the link! It doesn’t go anywhere good.

[stockpirate]

I tend to take what I hear on shows like hers as pretty close to factual, considering he was speaking of a mcCain quote.

[rintense]

Or Evan Almighty?

[kcm.org]

Therefore, she's implying we should vote for Sen. Osama, or not to vote?

[GOPJ]

OK, so my list of reasons to vote for McCain has just been reduced to one item(thanks to a fellow Freeper), and here it is: He ain’t Obama.

Two. And he ain't Clinton.

[longtermmemmory]

given mccain’s history, can you 100% REALLY dismiss this?

McCain has said so many idiotic things, it is REASONABLY POSSIBLE. No unreasonable, not beyond reasonable consideration.

It is very reasonable McCain has an idiotic cause for going here.

[stockpirate]

No not at all, she didn’t say his plan was the same as Obama’s the person she was interviewing quoted a paper that made that call.

[DManA]

Off topic but what does the unmarried Ingraham think she’s doing adopting a child?

[org.whodat]

He is Obama, just a little older and he is white.

And not obese enough to be his friend Ted. :^)

[CAluvdubya]

Maybe she’s just helping to open the eyes of those that think McCain has even an ounce of Conservatism in him. I think Laura I would like people to make an informed decision.

[MrB]

If McCain is up by at least 8 in my state (ks), I’m voting third party.

[lexusppd]

My understanding was it came from a guest on her show and was not from her. In any case I don’t really care as long as he wins, if only to keep the far, FAR worse alternative out of the WH.

[MrB]

It doesn’t go anywhere good.

Oh, the possible things that popped into my mind when I read this...

[digger48]

Off topic but what does the unmarried Ingraham think she’s doing adopting a child?

Perhaps providing a loving and safe environment for a child that had neither?

[CAluvdubya]

Hmmmmm....all the ‘08 sign ups are big McCain supporters. Now isn’t that strange? /s

[Red Badger]

Our man is really a complete idiot.

I don't think he's complete, yet.........

[Constitutionalist Conservative]

Do you believe everything you hear? You are a Liberals dream

I don't believe you.

[Mrs_Stokke]

The media chose this moron to punish us.

And they say lethal injection is cruel and unusual . . .

[Richard Kimball]

And here I thought it was because he had a conversation with Kermit The Frog.

Well, time's fun when you're having flies.

[Codeflier]

YAR...

"Yet another reason" I will never vote for McCain.

[org.whodat]

It’s her business, she’s 44 years old.

[Theodore R.]

If McPain is a “complete idiot”, then does that make our hapless Republican primary voters “dumb as rocks”?

[LadyNavyVet]

For a child with no parents, a single mom is a huge improvement. If she had adopted a child who otherwise had a good chance of ending up in a two-parent home, I’d have a problem with it. But this is an orphan from Guatemala. Odds are overwhelming that, if Ingraham had not adopted her, she would grow up completely unloved and unwanted in a Third World cr@phole orphanage, if she managed to make it to adulthood at all.

Igraham has done a good thing here, and best of luck to her and her daughter.

[Piquaboy]

He better get his head out of his butt and wake up to the fact that this global warming thing is a scam.

[KentTrappedInLiberalSeattle]

Hmmmmm....all the ‘08 sign ups are big McCain supporters. Now isn’t that strange?

Paid shills. Same old same old. ;)

[dead]

Global warming is real, sir.

[Richard Kimball]

Not sure I buy this. I'd have to see more than one source. There were a lot of rumors that Reagan used an astrologer to do his schedule. He laughed about it. Nancy was an astrology buff, IIRC, and sometimes Reagan would do a little tweaking to his schedule to placate her, but he didn't believe in astrology or use it to guide his decision-making.

McCain may have been touched by meeting a little boy, but I doubt he made policy decisions based upon it, although I don't discount the child making him think about a subject more deeply.

[Mr.Unique]

</lurk mode>

There are always batches of sign ups with similar "interests." Late '99 was the Y2K Doomers. The come and go. Interestingly, and no offense, I've found the Class of '04 to have a large proportion of disruptors. Not meaning you, of course...

<lurk mode>

[meandog]

Two. And he ain't Clinton.

Three. And he ain't Bush!

[lexusppd]

I find it impossible, yes IMPOSSIBLE to believe any person would make a decision as to his beliefs by hearing something from a child, whether dressed in a Penguin suit or not.

A story like this is floated for one simple reason, to outrage Conservatives and drive a wedge between him and them. It appears to work, at least here on FR because the anti McCain people are 100% willing to believe anyhting said about him from any source.

There is a pattern emerging of this sort of misinformation (possibly in this case). First the NYT tried it with a “possible” relationship he had with a lobbyist, then Huffington did the same by claiming she and 2 other provable liberals “heard” him say he didn't vote for Bush in 2000 or 2004. Now we have this. If there is a direct quote from McCain in which he claims this incident occurred AND it was the deciding factor in his decision re GW, then I will agree he is indeed suspect in more ways then I had imagined.

[Southerngl]

McCain’s new slogan: McCain. The White Obama.

[Blood of Tyrants]

I wonder if he has any idea how dangerous that admitting to man made globull warming is. Once you set national policy as if it is true, then the envirowhackos will file lawsuits on literally EVERYTHING claiming that the threat of globull warming will cause habitat destruction of spotted wing snot fly and the narrow leaf sh*tweed. There will not be a single oil well drilled ANYWHERE inside the US. Nor will there be a single coal or natural gas fired power plant. And envirowhackos will dictate EVERYTHING that has even a remote link to CO2 emissions.

[stockpirate]

My guess is that by election day we will be choosing between two Marxists.

How far to the left will McCain pander to get elected?

As far as it takes.

Has a president ever changed party’s after taking thw WH?

[Verloona Ti]

Three. Many EUropeans are openly hoping Obama will win and turn the USA into a facsimile of a EUropean state, and the Third World (especially moslem countries) is also backing him. Therefore a McCain win will really cheese them off. That’s something....isn’t it? /grasping for straws.

[ladtx]

This country is in deep trouble. You keep hearing about the "big tent" party, yeah because it's a circus and clowns are trying to be bosses.

[spunkets]

"The reason John McCain turned green is because he met a little boy in a penguin suit who spoke to him about global warming."

I believe it.

"Our man is really a complete idiot."

No two complete idiots are the same. Celebrate diversity.

[Resolute Conservative]

Not to be an evil person but I have a question. Are there not enough American babies that need homes that you go outside your country and basically usurp immigration laws and bring in another immigrant? What does that say to the families that are sitting in the waiting line to get in. What does that say to American babies/children that grow up in an orphanage to be thinking adults and wonder why all these foreign babies are brought here instead of them being chosen? I understand that there is an enormous amount of paperwork but it seems in a simplistic way that you are basically being a coyote if you adopt outside our country.

Kudos to her for adopting a child but I am just questioning the logic behind the choice.

Kind if like why pro sports teams continue to go out of the country for talent when there are enough boys just as good or better here to play basketball and baseball why do we need to go to Japan, Dominican Republic, Balkans etc...

[DManA]

She's making it her listeners business since she talks about it incessantly. In my opinion Ms. Ingraham has her personal priorities screwed up and I make no apologies for that opinion.

[Fundamentally Fair]

I find it impossible, yes IMPOSSIBLE to believe any person would make a decision as to his beliefs by hearing something from a child, whether dressed in a Penguin suit or not.

Any person? Jimmy Carter and his adviser Amy come to mind.

I'm not saying McCain is that big a bonehead, but some folks are.

Then again, I'm not saying McCain ISN'T that big a bonehead either...
