In a new television ad McCain launched yesterday, Republican John McCain compares his plot to make the country energy independent by 2025 to President Kennedy’s 1961 declaration to place a man on the moon.
“The real ‘purpose’ of John McCain’s ad is to rewrite the history of how he has repeatedly stood in the way of responsible efforts to make America less dependent on foreign oil and make green jobs,” Democratic National Committee communications director Karen Finney said in a statement. “In his 25 years in Washington, Senator McCain has been a part of the problem, not the solution on energy independence. Instead of political gimmicks and special interest giveaways, John McCain should offer a real plot that promotes green jobs, breaks our dependence on foreign oil, and invests in America’s future.”
But i have been told i need a ‘green card’ to do so!
How can i get this green card to do what ive always dreamed of?
Which means poor people will not only NOT be able to use “non-green” energy (because they can’t afford to pay for the credits), but they will be paying more for the “green” energy anyway.
Why would anyone support this bill as is?? (One that most of Congress has not read)

Caustic to commerce and the citizenry
Cap and trade can be boiled down to the United States government charging fees for the privilege of emitting carbon into the atmosphere. The bill states that it is designed; “To make clean energy jobs, achieve energy independence, reduce global warming pollution, and transition to a clean energy economy.”
The bill which was just passed by congress will severely limit production of energy domestically, slow economic growth, encourage use of internationally procured energy and cost consumers thousands of dollars per year in increased energy, food, clothing, furniture, appliances and property taxes.
avail………..Do you even know how carbon credits work?? It’s a rather large fraud that doesn’t cut down on CO2 in the slightest.
threegoofs…………..Yes, Al Gore and his cronies will be filthy fking rich. Bravo sheep!!
Where are these ‘new jobs’ going to be, the “green jobs”? How many here being honest has the brains and the education to made new forms of energy, I would venture to guess slim to none, and that would apply to the majority that voted for the hype, so much for his fantastic green job ploy.
“Bush bailing out his wall street buddies” so you mean like AIG with how many employees? so its okay for Obama to bail out the failed Fannie Mae debacle or the failed auto industry , I gotcha
for me, i would want to be the one to yell, “Gentleman , Start your Engines”.
i’d wave the flag, but i might mistakenly drop the flag and be the one to bring out the first caution. how embarrassing would that be?
