McCain n’ Lieberman and Huck n’ Chuck
December 17th, 2007 by Carbon Coalition‘Stop Global Warming’ signs led the way to the Mike Huckabee and Chuck Norris town halls in Berlin and Littleton this weekend. An FOTPC was able to speak with Huckabee about climate change after the Berlin town hall. Huckabee briefly mentioned energy independence and then directed the questioner to the Huckabee for President website.
Due to yesterday’s wonderful snowfall, Huckabee and Norris escaped the Granite State before they were asked what might have been the toughest question of their trip:
“Governor Huckabee, I have heard that there is no such thing as global warming. Chuck Norris was just cold, so he turned the sun up. As president will you ask him to turn the sun down?”
Early this morning, Senator Joe Lieberman endorsed McCain at a town hall in Hillsborough. The duo previously worked together in the Senate on the McCain-Lieberman bill that would have set a cap on domestic greenhouse gas emissions.
The very first issue McCain talked about on the stump was climate change. McCain briefly detailed the cap and trade legislation that he worked on with Sen. Lieberman and stressed the need for bi-partisan solutions. McCain explained that he is a “free market” guy and would like to see a cap and trade system stimulate the market to reduce global warming pollution. After devoting a good portion of his stump to climate change, McCain answered two further questions that were climate change-related.
Check back for video footage soon. In the meantime, check out McCain’s op-ed about global warming from yesterday’s Fosters.
