Lauren, that’s the pic I was talking about!
McCain has what I’d call a “savior complex”. He is driven by a compulsion to feel like he is solving the great problems of the day and defeating the big enemies of the people. That is why we see him latching on to any media generated “crises” of the day.
Witness his campaign finance bill that was to save us from the heinous effects of the evil special interests and corporations that corrupt politicians at our expense. Never mind that corporations are made up of individuals with common interests, and that those individuals are citizens of this country as well. Climate change? Sounds like a good crisis to latch on to and save everybody.
Prediction: soon he will start talking about how he is going to save us from the evil pharmaceutical companies that are ripping us off.

He’s already done that!
Excellent observation -- the very essence of a nanny-state politician who believes Government coercion is the proper vehicle to solve the everyday problems in peoples' lives.
There is a subtle difference between McCain and Huckabee in this regard... Disagree with McCain and he might swear at you -- but he will engage you in debate. But disagree with Huckabee, and he will retreat behind his faith and accuse you of drinking "a different Jesus juice" than he does -- all in order to stifle debate. There is no arguing with a religious zealot who believes he has God's blessing to torment you. Let's have neither, please!
