McCain adviser says McCain will ditch cap-and-trade if elected.
McCain adviser says McCain will ditch cap-and-trade if elected.
Earlier this month, conservative pundit Larry Kudlow caused a stir when he reported that a “senior McCain official” told him that McCain was off cap-and-trade, his signature greenhouse gas reduction plan. The McCain campaign quickly responded that the notion the Senator may be backing off cap-and-trade is “totally false.” But Kudlow may have been right after all. Last Friday, McCain adviser Steve Forbes told Glenn Beck that McCain’s environmental plan is not going to “get very far” under McCain and will be abandoned as “people start to examine the details.” Watch it:
TP Wonk Room’s Brad Johnson notes that, if true, McCain would be following in the footsteps of George W. Bush, who promised to regulate carbon dioxide as a candidate but quickly neglected that pledge upon entering office.

July 28th, 2008 at 3:54 pmMy F'ng god, is there ONE plank in his platform that he hasn't turned over like a piece of rotten timber?
And the Repugs accused the Dems of being flip-floppers. What a Rovian scream that is!
July 28th, 2008 at 3:56 pmWeird, a progressive website says nothing about the "liberal hating" shooter in TN or the House Justice Committee hearings last Friday.
Maybe, it's an anti-conservative website.

I'm not sure, but that might have been Bush's first, of many thousands of lies he has told while in office. What better way for John McSame to start Bush's third term?
July 28th, 2008 at 4:01 pmYou sure McIIIrd wasn't confusing cap and trade for some kind of baseball card for cap swap at the DiamondBack baseball game?
July 28th, 2008 at 4:04 pmI will be surprised if McCain doesn't throw out his back due to all that flipping and flopping.
July 28th, 2008 at 4:04 pmBuy a set of DiamondBack trading cards and get a cap free! Swap the caps with someone in your aisle! Fun for all!

"My friends. My friends at Exxon told me I might want to consider reversing my position on cap and trade. Then my friends at Exxon cut me another check. My friends at Exxon make a lot of good points".
