Such a system would "change the dynamic of our energy economy"

Change the dynamics of our energy economy = Change it over from a free market system to a socialist system.

by giving companies incentives

Incentives = Do what the government orders you to do our face massive fines and/or jail time. Your incentive is keeping your own butt out of prison.

to invest in alternative energy sources

Invest = Forced to be told what you can and will do with your own money.

I find his refusal to address the concerns of conservative Americans to be increasingly antagonistic. He believes we have "nowhere to go"--and takes us utterly for granted--aiming a few kicks our way every now and then as a little grandstand for the MSM.

He could have blasted the Dems for voting today against drilling in the Artic...

That would be fairly difficult. Last time he voted against drilling in the arctic himself. One of six republicans who did so. Wouldn't want to be a flip flopper would we John.

I just replied to the RNC donation drive letter that came to me today. They asked for money for this Al Gore wannabe.

I sent the prepaid postage envelope back with this note and a penny:

“30 year republican - NO MORE!
“F” John McCain - He Sucks!”

How in the world did McCain become our candidate?

In the kingdom of the blind, the one-eyed man is king. Look at his competition.

I have the same feeling. I have a visceral dislike for the guy, and it grows more visceral by the day.

The man is unfit for the job, and the GOP is going down in flames for this buttwipe.

I emailed his campaign to say his criticism, directly or implied, of President Bush is NOT an incentive to vote for him. The thought of voting for McCain makes me ill but based on the other 2....especially Obama....I had resigned to vote for him. However, if McCain keeps going like he is......bashing Bush, supporting Kyoto etc.....when the time comes, I may not be able to ‘pull the lever’ for him.

His campaign will be getting a flaming email in a few minutes. I am so disgusted I can't hold back the punches.

This pathetic "CAP AND TRADE" program that McCain espouses is the most absolutely ridiculous idea that I've heard in a long time.

What better way to create a brand new government bureaucracy,,,that will grow and grow over time,,,to tell us how to live.

That's just what we need,,,more and more useless government employees with the power to be more controlling, more intrusive, and more expensive to the taxpayer.

That's just what the business world needs too--a bigger, more regulating, more litigating, punishing, all-knowing, all-powerful, government knows-whats-best-for-us-all government.

And to top off the big, new government 'big brother' program,,,we also get a new career field for lawyers--"CAP AND TRADE" Law. If anyone has a college kid looking for a new, growing career in either the government or as a lawyer,,,,"CAP AND TRADE" Law is the way to go!!

This latest McCain move to the far-left was the last straw for me. This is absolutely outrageous.

McCain became the candidate because hoards of Dems crossed over and voted for him in the early Republican primaries.

This was the Soros (my guess) plan to force upon us a Republican candidate which the Dems KNOW they can defeat.

The Repubs did not know what hit them - the conservative candidates. And this is not the last time the Dems will choose the Republican Presidential candidate = based on the structuring of these primaries.

Yes we are in big trouble as a nation.

McCain totally ignores the significant number of scientists who do NOT agree with the globeloney alarmists.

May his idiocy spur millions to devote their time, money, efforts to electing conservatives into Congressional, Senatorial, State and local offices.

May the demonrats strategy backfire into massive efforts to get out the vote for OTHER candidates.

But right now, as they planned, McCain’s candidacy has taken the heart and energy and money out of most conservatives e who are just pulled back out of the fight.

Suffering ahead.
