True North

John McCain is set to alienate freedom and reality loving conservatives from his  campaign this week with a big throw down pander to the environmental lunacrats. But worse then that is that this guy is a fringe freedom hating mandate supporting lefty when it comes to energy and environmental laws. 

Proud Of Environmental Record

I just saw his new business surrogate (Former HP CEO Carly Fiorina) on This Week with Georgie boy and she was simply amazing at the inability to identify the connection with why businesses don’t want to come to America or stay here anymore. She did get the taxes right. Businesses will avoid them when ever possible.

The only other issue that draws businesses into a country is not just education, as much as that may hurt McCain’s spinsterette’s argument. It is the ease and low cost of doing business. How much are supplies? How high are property values? How many outrageous and over the top regulations and mandates will harm productivity and cut into margins? Is something as simple as keeping the lights on a sustainable cost, and reality. (let’s not forget California’s rolling blackouts )

Sure good workers are a plus, but if the costs on everything else are exponentially more, it doesn’t make sense to manufacture something there. I know this is the new neo-con  (read liberal Republican) rhetoric, but I don’t buy it. Gone are the principles of personal responsibility and accountability. Replaced are they with forced mandates and government requirements. 

McCain’s lunacratic streak for fringe lefty environmental policies is going to scare away even more businesses. His limits on energy are limits on productivity. And businesses know that. Here’s a bit to prove that businesses are very leery of President McCain. Bush Business Donors Shunning McCain for Democratic Candidates 

All 3 candidates for President are anti-business socialist thinkers when it comes to energy policy and anti-free market tendancies. If we don’t have solid conservatives in Congress to stop whoever wins the POTUS stakes we can pretty much hang up a businesses need not apply sign on our shores. 

He’s the Republican candidate. He may blame business for more things than Democrats. That is a damn shame. Then again, he does have his, we don’t need ours.
