Mixed on McCain

Long story short, conservatives like McCain's health care plan, but dislike his wild carbon emissions plan.

On the other hand, we don't really want him for president at all.

The New York Sun: Conservatives Mixed on Top McCain Policies
On health care... Mr. McCain's plan...encourages the purchase of private insurance by offering $5,000 refundable tax credits to families and eliminating the provision that exempts employer-provided health benefits from income taxes.

...Mr. McCain's proposal on climate change...calls for a cap-and-trade program to limit carbon dioxide emissions. Under the plan, the government would impose a cap on greenhouse gas emissions, and companies would be able to buy and sell permits for emissions that exceed the cap.
