John McCain Joins Dems in Advocating Cap and Trade
How much left-wing Kool-Aid can you guzzle and still pass yourself off as a Republican? John McCain attempted to find out by sending representative John Raidt to a climate change panel discussion at the left-wing Brookings Institution yesterday. There Raidt agreed with all the major Dem candidates that the US economy ought to be crippled with a cap-and-trade scheme in deference to the cult of global warming.
The Congressional Budget Office recently found that such a scheme would have disastrous effects on the economy, particularly on the poor, while having no noticeable impact on the climate. Nonetheless, pandering to the global warming hoax always plays well in the media, so Raidt declared that his boss McLame is a "foremost proponent of carbon cap-and-trade."
Speaking of the poor, their zillionaire spokesman John Edwards took the opportunity to reinforce his position on the left-most flank of the Democrat Party. His rep announced that the Breck Girl opposes building nuclear power plants to replace the fossil fuel we won't be allowed to burn. It looks like we might be asked to hook our appliances up to stationary bicycles like Ed "The Sped" Begley's environmentally correct toaster.
Romney and Giuliani, to their credit, did not send representatives.

God knows that I think that global warming rhetoric, spread over the wheatfields of Kansas, could double the crop, but I cut McCain some slack on this one. McCain is solid on the War on Terror, and that's the trump issue, the only issue, in my opinion. Everything else is a detail.
Time will take care of global warming, which in five years will be the punchline of a joke. So if McCain or any other politician pretends it is a serious issue to gain political advantage/avoid opprobrium, that's OK with me, as long as he's solid on the big issue confronting us.
This assumes that such politician realizes that global warming is crap, of course. Cynicism is OK, but I don't want a nitwit as President.

Cain hid in the same womb as Abel, passing himself off as one of Adam's. "Son of Cain" here hides within the enclave of the GOP. And just like Cain, we know he's not what he claims to be.
