John McCain 'pro-environment'?

No, he's just another liar like Bush

"Let me quote the last Republican bullshit artist running for president and what he had to say about the environment before being elected (Sept 29, 2000):

"With the help of Congress, environmental groups and industry, we will require all power plants to meet clean air standards in order to rescue emissions of sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxide, mercury, and carbon dioxide within a reasonable period of time."

Almost as soon as the Supreme Court declared him president, Bush peremptorily reneged on those promises without offering any excuses, although-- as though to rub salt in the wounds of citizens concerned with environmental issues-- he cynically called his pro-pollution legislation "Clear Skies."

Is there any reason to believe McCain would behave any differently. No, none at all. In fact, there is every reason, judging from past history that McCain would act just as badly."
Just as George W. Bush did in 2000, John McCain will tell you anything to get elected and then screw the country if elected.
