Is that a Sarah Palin look-a-like standing behind McCain?

[jwirr]

1. So where is he going to store the waste?

[Javaman]

10. you can see mclame coming, he's the one with the glow in the dark depends. nt

[Cresent City Kid]

2. I can't see the video

Did he say "saftey scmafety"?

[whistle]

3. Have any of these nuclear powered ships sunk or been destroyed?

...How safe are those power plants when such disasters happen? I found this which covers 1950 through 1993 which leaves the last 15 years totally unknown:

<snip>
Selected Accidents Involving Nuclear Weapons 1950-1993
Greenpeace March 1996

The twenty-three accidents listed below involving U.S., Soviet, and Russian nuclear weapons or nuclear-armed ships and submarines are some of the more serious nuclear accidents to befall U.S. and Soviet nuclear forces.

As a result of accidents, some 51 nuclear warheads were lost into sea (44 Soviet and 7 U.S. However, at least one Soviet warhead was recovered). Also, seven nuclear reactors (5 Soviet and 2 U.S.) from three Soviet and two U.S. nuclear-powered submarines have been lost at sea due to accidents. Another 19 nuclear reactors from nuclear-powered vessels have been deliberately dumped at sea (18 Soviet and 1 U.S.).

The U.S. Navy is known to have experienced at least 380 nuclear weapons incidents, but the details are not known. It assumed that other countries with nuclear weapons have had similar nuclear weapons accidents or incidents, but official secrecy means that no information is available.

The U.S. dumps its waste into the ocean. Out of sight, out of mind.

4. Thanks give my city a bad name

I live in Cedar Falls.... Either way though didn't seem like a big deal Think homecoming had more noise.

[stark6935]

19. I'm in Cedar Rapids, and he needs to just go away.

[Bippity Boo]

5. we're at war with terrorists, let's build lots of nuke plants for them to target

It seems pretty revealing that McCain's infantile "bla bla bla" is what really works up the crowd.

[Heather MC]

8. I bet he could say blah blah blah, for 20 mins and those idiots would cheer

and then run out and deface Obama signs

[bulloney]

28. He mocks nuclear safety with his blah-blah-blahs. The knuckledraggers applaud.

I'll bet they'd applaud at the remark if they lived near Three Mile Island about 30 years ago. I'll bet they'd applaud if they lived around Davis Besse near Toledo a couple of years ago.

The fact is, if the worst should happen at a nuke plant, the damage would be catastrophic. And we still don't have a sustainable way of taking care of the wastes, unless you consider transporting it thousands of miles to Nevada and sticking it in a cave sustainable.

I agree with your comment Heather. They would cheer because blah-blah-blah is about all their brains could comprehend.

[Pedalman]

6. Let's Build One Right There!

Can we build a nuclear plant right near the homes of all of those folks cheering? We'll be transporting all of that spent fuel right through your neighborhoods, blah, blah, blah.

[yellowcanine]

7. I bet he doesn't do that in central PA. Where TMI means Three Mile Island, not

too mucn information.

[lin_e65]

9. Nuclear Power is Safe?

Sure and I bet there's a lot of companies out there who would love to build them all over the country for us....for a real reasonable price. I winder how many nuclear lobbyist are on his campaign team?

Why do people laugh at this man's weak jokes "blah..blah..blah.." ? It just encourages him more.

[Gato Moteado]

11. half the guy's face fell off from cancer....

....maybe those years on a nuclear sub weren't as safe as he thought.

he really is a moron...and so are all the dipshits cheering

[Bippity Boo]

13. for some reason i never made the melanoma connection

thanks for connecting the dots on McCain's insanity

[NJCPA]

12. Storing Waste

Forget storing the waste - Does anyone remember 3 MILE ISLAND. Maybe Pennsy will think differently about nuke safety,.

[truedemm]

14. UnBLAHlievable

They cheer as he wraps up other people's concerns into a arbitrary "blah blah blah." Petty little sheeple.

[MiniMe]

15. Chernobyl, Three Mile Island blah blah blah

[defendandprotect]

16. What unbelievable stupidity and an equally stupid audience eating it up--!!!

"the environment" . . . a concern to be mocked, evidently-!!!

[1corona4u]

17. Crazy fucker.

[mackerel]

18. Mare Island in Vallejo was a Nuclear Substation before

it was closed down. Upon reading the obits you'll find most of those Navy men have died of cancer.

[1corona4u]

21. Funny,, I was thinking about that, after post # 11.

Makes sense....

[PatrynXX]

20. If it's safe , can we store the waste in his swimming pools?

I'm sure it's safe to swim in it.

[bjobotts]

22. What bullshit .Ins. Companies won't cover Nuke power plants

[bjobotts]

23. Only takes one accident to kill millions and make area uninhabitable

[bjobotts]

24. And they still haven't figured out how to store the wastes.McCain is such a liar.

[bjobotts]

25. Did you see his supporters cheer. They really are the "pig people"

[Politicalboi]

26. Another good ad

MaGoo doesn't care about your children or the environment. Blah Blah Blah This could be another Bomb Bomb Bomb

[ForeignSpectator]

29. Ship these dipshits to Chernobyl, all of them...

Is it true that no insurance company would ever cover a nuclear plant? So much for "it's safe".

[MrObama]

30. Sweden has 10 nuclear power reactors providing half of its electricity

American liberals have no common sense on nuclear power...

When done properly, nuclear power is relatively safe and clean! Radioactive Waste are safe in permanently underground storage 500 meters under the bedrock.




Common usa democrats, what's wrong with you?
