Cooling On Raising McCain
Today John McCain made his strongest statements yet about his intent to regulate the "global warming" scam.
I'm sorry, I wasn't clear. McCain doesn't intend to regulate the scam, he plans to fully participate in it.
The one thing the senator and I agree on about this issue is that it's potentially the most serious one
Where we disagree is why.
McCain actually thinks that "greenhouse gases" play some role in something.
So do I - I think he's been breathing in too much CO2, for too long.
Consequently, I will not be voting for him.
He's by far the least of three evils.
But he's still very evil.
This is the first time in my adult life that i'm not proud of
Over the weekend, I was referred to a "carbon footprint test
."
I took it.
Our "footprint" is under four tons - 3.7 to be exact
My wife and I agree we could easily reduce it further.
That makes us better than just about everyone.
If you disagree, you're worse than John McCain
But better than Barack and Hillary.
In all probability.
Now please, go help save energy - burn a cornfield.
Gotta disagree with you on this one, Ted. I don’t think Obama’s evil. I think he’s an idiot and a racist. McCain? I also think he’s got some idiotic ideas, but when it comes to national security I’m not worried about him responding to attacks on our country. Hillary? Okay, she’s an evil, conniving beyotch who just wants power and to make men suffer. Of the three, I’d happily take McCain, with Hillary second. Because they only get, max, 8 years, and at least I’d be safe with them.
Let’s not forget, ever, that ALL politicians suck. It’s the nature of the game.
Now, if you’ll pardon me, I’m going to go idle my car for a few minutes just to piss off the Melting Cult.
I think that your comment is illustrative of the dilemma - is someone who supports something that is evil, evil himself?
I contend that there’s no distinction. Someone who supports Hitler - or Hamas may have good intentions. He may be gentle as a lamb, but he’s advancing evil. McCain is now a frontline soldier in a scam that will have life-changing implications for you and life-challenging implications for others.
Also, a racist isn’t evil? Are you drawing a distinction between “bad” and “evil?”
And that’s just the mold that shows on Obama - there’s his other ties, his opportunism, and the fact that he’s impersonating an undertaker without a license… or a death certificate, as the case may be.
As for “ALL politicians,” is “suck” different from “evil?” Regardless, if all politicians do suck, that’s a separate discussion, one that involves the electorate and a hunt for appropriate adjectives.
Good counter point… I reckon someone who knowingly and intentionally supports evil, is, in fact, evil. In Osama’s case, I don’t have proof that he’s evil. I reckon he’s leaning that way, but it seems so severe to brand him “evil.” An idiot I will brand him, especially after his “57 states.”
We’re getting philosophical here, though. Do people brainwashed from birth to believe in militant Islam deserve to be called “evil”? Or maybe just stupid?
And could you be more specific as to what scam McCain is advancing that is evil?
And yes, “suck” is different from “evil.” The Unabomber, he’s evil. Manson- evil. Democrats, my fellow Americans, I’ll consider that they suck, but I’m going to be hesitant to declare they’re ALL evil.

Well, you’re either a better man than I or very naive. If I understand you, you believe one has to be conscious of doing wrong to be evil? I maintain that there is no material difference whether one knows or not - you’re still dead. if you’re staring down a member of the Hitler Youth, would you hesitate because he doesn’t know any better?
Liberals do suck - they are also evil. The differentiating factor is not semantics, but whether they are redeemable or not - and whether they see the light before they’ve done irreparable damage. If you ask me, they already have, but reasonable people may differ.
“In Osama’s case, I don’t have proof that he’s evil.”
I just had a liberal young woman who’s about to become a teacher ask me why I felt Obama was a featherweight. I don’t have to explain that to you, but that’s part of the reason why he’s evil… because he’s miserably weak. But part of the reason he’s weak is that he’s amoral. have you heard some of his recent comments about Israel and Hamas? You’re aware he wants to talk to Ahmadinejad, but have you heard what Manny said about Israel just in the past day?
Did millions of Jews die because of Hitler or because of Chamberlain? Will millions more die because of Almondine or because of Barry?
Btw, I presume you meant Obama? If you truly meant Osama, one or both of us has entered the Twilight Zone.
“And could you be more specific as to what scam McCain is advancing that is evil?”
You’re not the first person to ask me to clarify something that I thought I’d been clear about, and this concerns me that maybe I’m only making sense in my head. Anyway, McCain subscribes to all aspects of “global warming.” I knew he believed it was real, but I had no idea until recently about the intensity of both his beliefs and his desire to act on them.
“If I understand you, you believe one has to be conscious of doing wrong to be evil? I maintain that there is no material difference whether one knows or not - you’re still dead.”
So if the airhead, 17 year old blonde in the car behind me causes a collision that kills me, is she evil or stupid? Either can kill. My assertion is that evil describes a person who takes a bad action by choice. Stupid describes a person who truly doesn’t think they are doing wrong, or is oblivious to their own stupidity. I know- we can’t read minds, everyone could be evil, but since God created us, I like to think all mankind has the potential to be good, but just chooses not to. We fall short of the potential we have as children. But if we didn’t have that choice, we’d just be robots. Or democrats, heh, heh.
“Liberals do suck - they are also evil.”
I was talking about democrats. I agree liberal=evil, but not all democrats are liberal. Many are, borrowing from the Godzilla fanbase, DINO- Democrat In Name Only. Which is ironic, because the DINOs will go the way of the dinosaur. Younger democrats rarely are conservative- they embrace the hedonistic liberal way of leftyism wholeheartedly.
“Btw, I presume you meant Obama?”
Yeah, Osama Bin Barack. If it looks like a duck, afterall…
“Anyway, McCain subscribes to all aspects of “global warming.””
But does that make him evil? If he really believes, unlike algore who just wants to sell books, why is he evil- I think he’s stupid if he believes global warming. But geez, there’s a lot of folks who think it. They don’t push it for ulterior means, they truly believe.
Trog,
I just came across something that I found to be very apropos. You said:
“Democrats, my fellow Americans…”
Ann says (and I fully subscribe):
“Democrats… their calculated strategy in race after race in the red states has been to run Democratic candidates who appear to be Americans. They’re not Americans. They’re liberals!”
Well, I will admit most dems are liberals, but I know many who are very conservative: pro-death penalty, anti-illegal aliens, etc. etc. Like I said, DINO; Democrat In Name Only.
