You just gave McCain Ohio AND Pennsylvania AND Virginia. Say hello, President McCain.

OK, someone has to point this out; McCain originally sponsored the cap-and-trade bill that got shut down in the last session.

“We need a successor to Kyoto, a cap-and-trade system that delivers the necessary environmental impact in an economically responsible manner.” He said America needs to be willing to be “persuaded” by our European allies. McCain’s column was headlined “America must be a good role model.”

So NOW what do we do? Go out and tell the world that McCain wants to kill the coal industry slower?

Yet again more proof that you can’t beat the Democrats by trying to be “Democrat Lite”. If the Republicans had stood firm against the whole Global Warming scam, maybe this could get some traction.

…As I’ve said before, I empathize, I really do. (That’s non-ironic, btw.) We have SO been where you are today.

But hear the words of your own candidate on this issue.

He holds almost the identical position on “clean” coal.

This is a complete red herring.

by saying that his words were taken out of context, the context being that he was talking to a newspaper in San Francisco, not to reporters in western Pennsylvania . . .

Sorry to yell, but will this change things. Tell me YES redstaters. I’m freaking out!!!!!

Barack Obama, as a US Senate candidate, met with Maytag workers, asked for their donations and promised them he’d help save their jobs, and that he then went to the Crown family and took their large donations, but never said a word to Crown about saving the jobs of the Maytag workers? Those jobs got shipped to Mexico.

Obama did, however, get a preferential rate om a mortgage from the Crowns. He earmarked an $8 million request for the High Explosive Air Burst Technology Program, too. Ultimately, $1.3 million in funding was awarded for the program. The defense project was overseen by General Dynamics, one of the nation’s largest military contractors. Crown and his wife Paula are members of Obama’s National Finance Committee and have raised several hundred thousand for Obama.

So from this we learn: Barack Obama has no trouble lying to blue collar voters. He will not protect your jobs or make any waves with his fat cat donors. He’s not even seriously antiwar. The only thing you can reasonably expect from Obama is that he is looking out for himself first.

On Fox this AM -

Democrat Strategist said the comments were taken out of context and then she immediately ran towards the “economy”. Fortunately, Megyn Kelly cut her off at the knees on that one.

This will devastate the coal industry in this country – - clean coal or not and will directly effect each and every voter out there.

I’m sitting in upstate New York on the Finger Lakes. The energy plant down the road from us is a coal-fired plant. Everyone should maybe for the first time ask themselves if their electricity comes from the same kind of plant, and I will bet you odds out it does. It’s time we stopped allowing these environmentalists to threaten our way of life without any regard to the consequences.

Find out what generates your power…..it just might be coal… and wake the hell up. Obama is telling you right to your face that he will bankrupt the coal industry and you as well.

Does he love this country? NO

This story is no where to be seen on the MSM. Instead, stories about Palin getting a prank phone call are front page on CNN.

How about a 60 second commercial

Ask Obama, where will our coal miners work? How will we heat our homes? How will be refrigerate our Food? How will we light our homes? How will we run our subways?

49% of all electricity consumed in the US now is from coal. What…..wil you replace it with after you bankrupt it?

I’m shocked, shocked to find pandering going on in a political campaign!

…I think he probably knew she was still in the USA, contrary to statements from his campaign.

That’s all you’ll get from me, however. While I’m unable to vote, I still have to live here, and so, with all due respect, I’ll not play Benedict Arnold for you.

And if the OCA wants to use this image, they have my permission….

The Department of Energy website reminds us of the importance of coal toour economy.

Coal is one of the true measures of the energy strength of the United States. One quarter of the world’s coal reserves are found within the United States, and the energy content of the nation’s coal resources exceeds that of all the world’s known recoverable oil. *Coal is also the workhorse of the nation’s electric power industry, supplying more than half the electricity consumed by Americans. *
Coal-fired electric generating plants are the cornerstone of America’s central power system. To preserve this economically-vital energy foundation, innovative, low-cost environmental compliance technologies and efficiency-boosting innovations are being developed by the Energy Department’s Fossil Energy research program.

If Obama destroys this industry as he has told us he will do, he will destroy us as a nation.

Excellent piece. Mike Carey comes out and says it on national TV – Obama would be bad news! They started the piece off with Obama’s audio about bankrupting the coal industry. It was on CNBC so hopefully it will run tonight on some local news in those coal producing swing states. The 4 minute piece explained where coal was produced and that bankrupting the coal energy would result in energy costs skyrockting around the USA. The newscasters said that energy is a NATIONAL SECURITY ISSUE and that coal is the mainstay in America’s energy policy.
