Senator McCain: Warmest congratulations! You have jump started our political energy policy. Ride this one to the White House Senator. You’ve trapped your opponents. How sweet this is. They have no policy response without reversing field thereby triggering criticism that they have just executed the greatest of all eco-flip flops and risking the loss of much of their environmental support.. Well done Sir.

The sarcasm is strong in this one.

What a wonderful idea. This is such a novel idea and shows he is serious about the issues. We wants to fix it and “here is how we are going to do it” in one grand move. CHECK MATE!

This plan illustrates his willingness to take the problems to the American people and outside of the hands of the government. The Government knows how to throw money at problems and they will be with this plan. American ingenuity can fix this problem and make such a device without being hobbled by the government. He is saying “America do what you do and Ill have the Government do what it does best by writing a check.” The tasks at hand are now in the hands of the people best suited for the job.

Or you could cut taxes by that amount and really leave the decision making in the hands of the people and private enterprise, and not the Government. How much will it cost to pay for this scheme, that will give back money that rightfully belongs to the taxpayers in the first place.

McCain seems to be for big government socialism.
