Where's OBL John? You promised us...

The economic argument is totally ridiculous. To say that we shouldn't spend the money to prevent something that is shaping up to be a worldwide catastrophe because it will cause economic hardship is so short-sighted it makes my head spin. How much economic hardship will be incurred when the full effects of climate change are felt? Remember New Orleans? The levees? It was too expensive to fix them too, remember?

It is not an argument to say that something doesn't exist because it would be too expensive to address/fix. By the time the climate change experts are proven right, it will be much too late to do anything about it and no amount of money will fix it.

Are you kidding me? Do you actually think that we can repalce our present electrical system with windmills and solar panels and we will not drastically raise the cost of electricity? And increasing electricity cost will hurt individuals and busiensses Right?

And who is the stupid one? Sigh, that would be Mr. Gore

Oh, me, oh my, Senator McCain. It seems that you have come out of the past since your failed presidential run. We listen and hear of you in the news just about every other day now. We all know it is because you are running for relection in AZ . Why you never did anything for the great state of AZ is something we will never know. Now that is sad.

Like the rest of his party, he has been so completely wrong so often he's rendered himself irrelevant. They don't need the Left to beat them, they've destroyed themselves. Thank God we stopped them before they destroyed our country.

It is so sad to see a guy who has degenerated so far in the last 9 years. Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't have voted for him in 2000, but I at least thought he was a decent guy. I don't know if this is a result of dementia or what, but it is sad to see an American hero (whether you like him or not) so completely dishonor himself. I feel sorry for him and a little sorry for what he could have become. Maybe he would not have become President, but he could have become a Statesman. Now, he's just the butt of the latest joke about how far the Republican party has fallen.

I don't know, but at his age, you'd think he'd grow a pair and stand up for what is right, just because it's the right thing to do and not really give a sh * it what his Republican buddies think. Here's a guy who had a chance to build upon his early career and become a noble spokesman for the American way of life. Instead, he opted to sell his soul and become another 18 percenter.

"it would hurt an already battered economy by raising energy costs for consumers and costing U.S. companies billions."
...now THERE'S something actually worth paying billions for!

[vie2012ne]

cutting off your d ick to spite your ba lls -- who will pay higher prices charged by those evil corporations? YOU.

McCain slams Obama's global warming plan? What about to slam Bush and Cheney on torture?
We didn't hear him about this.

[MyGuyO]

It's politics he is playing and that is why it is so sad.

[Bluesue]

Thank god the country had the good sense not to elect John McCain. The Republicans would continue to loot the country on behalf of their corporate friends, our country would continue on its destructive path environmentally and economically, our foreign policy would be ineffective swagger and bluster, and the crimes of the Bush administration would be covered up.

[MyGuyO]

I hope the great state of AZ will not elect this man once again. It's time, Mr. McCain. Do you get the picture?

[jazzman]

Slam away McCainy baby. This is why you aren't President and Obama is. It's also why you aren't ever going to be President. Please McCain just fade away. Your days have past.

[Xenopus]

Geez, this old man is really getting irritating. He says these negative things trying to get attention then someone explains the errors of his thinking and he mumbles and grumbles and sort of goes on to the next thing to whine about. If he can't lead, then he should get out of the way and let those who can (i.e., Obama) do so. He is the Senior Citizen rep of "the Party of No, but we don't know the answer".

[samilli3]

is there anything this man doesn't slam?

[lw1899]

He's just cranky 'cause it's that time of the month for him.

[Marie62866]

Yah, his wife! HAHAHAHAHA­HAH!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!

[Layman23]

Dude, you picked Sarah Palin as your running mate as you couldnt see past the election. How can you think about something thats going to happen over the course of the next 50 years ?

[ddanimal]

The Republican global warming plan: buy a bathingsuit.

[unhhockey]

That visual could be disturbing on many levels (i.e. Bachmann, Hannity, Billo, etc.).

[dagnew]

LOL!

[StanlyManly]

Sounds like the most reasonable plan I've yet heard. Heck, I wont even have to buy one, I already own one. Seems a whole lot easier and less costly than the other ideas floating around.

[plaidsportcoat]

Less costly? Ummm...I don't think so in the long run....

[Dbos]

Somewhere Barry Goldwater is crying .

[nini516]

Oh Yeah, I'm really listening to"the fundamentals of the economy are sound", "CRASH"!! McCain
Yeah I'm really listening to "Ram Sarah Palin down your throat to incite hatred" in the name of
"Country First" Yeah I'm listening to "say no to MLK day in your state.

We've got to let all these Good Ole boys go somewhere and retire. They are stuck in their ways and we have a new day now.
