Green, green, he's green they say........
Why do I call him Comrade McCain?
Here's why. And it's worse than I thought.
From an article in the latest New Scientist mag, the house organ for Gaia:
The worst thing about this: McCain will have no meaningful opposition. Because he bears the "R" brand, the idiotic team members in Congress along with Fox News and other pundits will mindlessly follow him into criminal fraud. If Obama pushes the very same policies, at least a handful of the "R" team will speak against him, though I'm not real sure about that.
We've already had two terms of a hard-left President bearing the "R" label, which gave us two terms of amazingly fast movement toward the left, quietly cheered by the "D" team and unopposed by the "R" team.
Polistra pleads above all else for honest labels and honest measurements. Without honest calibration and valid data, we are absolutely lost. We are doomed.
And yes, that's a Gaia-ger Counter she's using to measure Comrade McCain's criminality and fraudulence. ¶ 6:51 PM
Here's why. And it's worse than I thought.
From an article in the latest New Scientist mag, the house organ for Gaia:
Climate change is the biggest science issue in the world, and the biggest science issue in the upcoming US election. Who is the front runner? If you look at the parties, it's a no-brainer: the Dems snatched control of both houses of Congress on 2006, and have so far made good on their promises to fight climate change. The Republicans under GW Bush have a lousy record. ..... Among the three leading candidates, you might assume that one of the Democrats ... is the most environmentally friendly. Both senators have made big promises to cut emissions and fund clean energy research. Republican front runner John McCain has a set of climate credentials that arguably eclipses them both. He has railed against inaction on the issue since long before it was fashionable. ...
Of the three, who is best placed to implement an aggressive policy to curtail global warming? The surprising answer may be McCain. Clinton and Obama's big promises could bring other large emitters like China and India into line behind the US. That's important ... but McCain is the only candidate battle-hardened by years of defending his climate-change bills on the Senate floor. ...
In short then, McCain has the greenest credentials; the Democrats the greenest promises.
