McCain: Obama Overly Concerned With Nuke Safety

[MrClaydough]

Heh heh Shit...it has to be disposable? FLMAO ...what the fuck chuck, we're not talkin about fuckin cigarette lighters here nyuk nyuk

Fuckin Repugs take stupid pills!?! Like duh? Stop it, you're hurting me. great fucking comedy lolo

He said Obama siad it has to be disposable....fucking hurtin me swear to God...I'm chokin gut hurtin lol

[MrClaydough]

Hey I was on a nuclear ship and it was safe....duh....macsleepy need anudda nappie? Must read how his accident caused 9 different fires on USS Forestral, maybe as Dubbers losing a jet...not his fault. Hey....Go back to sleep. Obama Nuke safety blah blah...[and ps ps bet you ship not nook-u-lar]

Hell, I'm thinkin bout duct tapin my hole house down ya fuckin retard repugs. Stick to abortion/middle class rape and STFU! heh heh then blow me

[MrClaydough]

We did race to space. We did it as safely as we could.

Racing to alternative fuels is not a bad thing. Any corporations 'ala' Kock Bros and others who try to get in the way...need to be moved!

I don't even want to hear the word Nuclear until someone says you'll store spent fuel in your backyard. Belive me...that shit aint comin down by train thru my hood, on way to Vegas. Again France partnered with industry, and reprocesses spent fuel rods etc. France even uses Ocean Wave technology good day

[MrClaydough]

heh heh Obama's trying to not crack up. What fucking morons these repugs are.

[SaintxOfxSuburbia]

I guess this guy never heard of Chernobyl or Three Mile Island.

[ObamaBiden20082012]

Nuclear power plants can melt down like a nuclear bomb and kill millions of people! They dump radioactive waste in rivers. Look at France, it has become a living hell because of nuclear power. We need MORE coal power, and eventually wind mills and solar panels!

[JeremyBechen]

Where'd you get that information from?!

The fuel (enriched Uranium) needed for a nuclear weapon to properly function contains 90% Uranium-235(whose atoms can be split), and 10% other forms of Uranium. Reactor grade Uranium contains 3-4% Uranium-235. That's a difference of 85% purity to create a nuclear explosion!

And where'd you hear the NPP's dump waste in rivers?! They keep them under borated water in "spent-fuel" pools or buried several hundred feet underground.

[JeremyBechen]

And how is France a living hell? France is the world's number one exporter of electricity, exporting 18% of its net power produced to other european countries.

Its electrical cost is the lowest in Europe!

[klote2314]

keep in minde europe is also leading in natural fuel efficianty its not just nuclear power keeping the prices down

european laws are forcing country's to use natural power supply's instead of nuclear power plants

europe is trying to get rid of nuclear power

[klote2314]

i meant natural power efficianty lol

[Redbatray]

@klote2314 Well i guess thats one thing they aren't smart about, the old dude is actually right that nuclear power is safe and clean. Go green go nuclear.

[mtb416]

@ObamaBiden20082012 I live in a state that leads the entire world in wind energy. Trust me, as of right now, it is not at all a viable alternative. Solar technology is even less appealing for the same reasons.

[MrClaydough]

@mtb416 Thats why Texas just surpassed California in Solar...increased by 200% every year for last 5 years. But then again we're discussing this with folks who find the Hulks skin tone appealing. lol He said 'blah blah blah' heh heh

[mtb416]

@MrClaydough Isn't it grand how the green loving idiots of California are being surpassed in green technology by "those ignorant Texans?"

I'm all for cleaner energy, but not at the stake of higher utility costs and taxes for Americans. I am not entirely against subsidy programs to get cleaner energy up and running, but there has to be reasonable relationship between subsidies and time needed to make this technology profitable.

[MrClaydough]

@mtb416 Far from idiots but agree w/much of what you said. But a partnership between Gov't and private sector is the only way it will truly happen...much less w/safety etc. I don't believe more tax cuts to wealthy and corporations in and of itself is the answer. Obviously.

California's solar will increase easily by 10/15% per year with State spending $1.00 and investors spending around $2.75. Not only increasing solar as you go, but increasing the Money commitment. Doesn't sound 'idiot' to me.

[mtb416]

@MrClaydough Give the state debt and zero losses from incumbents I'd say the term "idiot" very much applies. So much for "bipartisanship." That word has not existed in California for decades. Sorry if that offends you. Perhaps that is one reason Californians are flooding my state.

[MrClaydough]

@mtv416 Who dat be da Gov....and zero losses then where's the jobs? I also have many friends from Az and Calli that moved to Texas...AND MOVED OUT! In fact I can say most of them. But probably for different reasons. But believe me pal...if you so high n' mighty you all want to secede, we could cut Grannies Soc/Sec like asap.

I see like most Repug Goobers you did the fagaphonie 'hey' No 'im over here' and as Solar/alternative/clean coal increases your debate is pure horse shit. Are you Chinese?

[mtb416]

@MrClaydough You're very sensitive. You also sound very uneducated. Stay in denial, I really don't give a shit.

[MrClaydough]

@mtv416 Yeah...I know all that info hurts ur brain moron. Do you goober righties ever win a debate? heh heh

[MrClaydough]

@mtvwhore16 Keep supportin PapaMac. The blah blah blah thing works real well for you guys. lol

[mtb416]

@MrClaydough When someone digresses into the "go ahead and secede" nonsense you can be sure they have nothing else to say.

[MrClaydough]

@mtb416 Hey goober...that was your Governor. A repug hack who is ruining ur schools and rewriting history. But what do you fagaphonies care...you don't read anyway. In the words of PapaMac...blah blah blah. Thats ur nuclear safety policy? heh heh what morons

[mtb416]

@MrClaydough You can't speak without name-calling, can you? The fact that secession has been mentioned by someone inside my state does not mean your digression is any less of a digression. On top of being uneducated it seems you also suffer from a comprehension problem. Have fun in that sinking ship known as California. Please, go down with it. Don't run like a coward once you break into reality.

[MrClaydough]

@mtv416 Now who's name calling? Look at you already? In fact...if memory serves pussy boy, you started with ur little cat fighting and avoiding the facts and policy of 'Mr I don't know anything about the economy' PapaMac. So you like the 'blah blah blah' thang, hey goober? heh heh fucking dildo...and I don't live in California Mr fart for brains.

And bye the bye fagaphonie...it was ur Gov, that offered up secession, and you like a moron voted for him. Blow urself to sleep. heh heh

[walkermydawg]

@MrClaydough @mtv416 I copy you mtv416 because candidate dildo put up an avon lady as a VP, and I may plausibly presume that you voted twice for a shit kicker while we are all paying the price for his reign of error.

Succession is a sorry suggestion to a problem that does not exist. It's like pharm suggesting symptoms of a disease or disorder that does not exist just to raise money=insurance, et al.

[MrClaydough]

@walkermydawg Right on my Dawg. Truer words never spoken. Ya gotta love the blah blah.

But 4 me the biggest crack-up was when in 2 week period, 1/2 term Gov/failure says 'I don't know what a VP does', and McSleepy says 'I don't know anything about the economy'. WTF? Many collective sighs of relief, as dumb shits just tossed a few more million votes. Obama wouldn't have won by 8 1/2 million if bozo's could keep pie hole shut. Stupid Independents waiting til last day to make up their minds?

[MrClaydough]

@MrClaydough Yo my dawg..whass ahhp? Looks like nap time around here. Guess what though? This country will never have another nook-u-lar plant unless we put it in Papamacs or MTV's backyard.

Stay in touch. SCOTTWALKERWATCH...daily read. Read up on 1/2 term gooberette on 'speed trains' as Walker hides under podium. Seems investigation on his 16x's the cost of Obamas! Now Murdoch has been tapping phones for 5 years! He has set aside 'apology' monies to tune of 33 million. I want some...heh heh

[Guest4000]

Heh, McCain just recently outdid himself at a rally: ""We talked about offshore drilling and he said he would, quote, 'consider' offshore drilling. We talked about nuclear power. Well is has to be safe, environment, blah blah blah."

Of course, his base loved it, but beyond that, uh...

[Latexbrother]

TWICE!

[Latexbrother]

yeah, like the crap that leaked out of nuclear power plants into the rivers in France only LAST MONTH!

[2oldforallthisBS]

Yeh, the navy ships dump their spent nuke fuel in deep water.

McCain doesn't have a clue!

[bigd25401]

nuclear power vessels only have to refuel once every 45 years n trust me as someone in the navy i know better than that get your facts straight.

[nintendosauce]

my primary question is, has McCain taken a science course in the past 50 years? Good chance he hasn't, as he's currently 72. It doesn't help that he doesn't know how to use the internet. Wikipedia would help him greatly. Nuclear Energy is CO_2_ clean, but remains very unclean in that it leaves behind nuclear, radioactive waste that can be very dangerous and will pile up over time.

[parihav]

Nuclear power is clean (no CO2) but the risks are very real.  Chernobyl for example. Plus makes easy target for terrorists.

[journeystarr]

Let's not forget 3 Mile Island, also.

[naturalhorse56]

nuclear power is not safe or clean.

[DisloyalOne]

I love how Obama is just sitting back there smiling to himself. He's probably thinking "This old man's making this election easier and easier for me"

[WuTangIsMyName]

lol

[nothankyoumam]

McCain is either just grasping at straws or he received a bit too much radiation from his days on nuclear powered ships.

[Arbal3st]

You know what's safer than Nuclear power, John? FUCKING WIND AND SOLAR POWER!

All the energy without the chance of it blowing up and turning an entire state into Chernobyl

[artsdevotion]

Mcain Go back to your rocking chair so we can have a some one that knows whats going on

[Oiaku]

You know, John, there's this little town in Ukraine that actually had -exactly- the same opinion, maybe you should go check it out sometime.

[Jaywilly24]

Obama is an idiot! He wants to make sure Nuclear power is safe? What an asshole he is concerned for the safety of americans! McCain is a jackass!

[shplane]

nuclear is not clean or safe, it never has been. we have no proper means to dispose of nuclear waste from such power plants which is why Obama does not support building 2,000 more like McCain does. anyone with even the slightest environmental knowledge knows that nuclear plants are hazardous to everything they touch

[king7wood]

Could somebody please hand me a pronk?

[tuxfred]

McSame needs to get in a nursing home STAT.

[roodood]

Yeah that waste is reeeeally clean, why don't we put some of it in one of your 7 houses, Mr. McCain? I guess it would hardly affect you.

[xesisgood]

Mccain is more senile than I thought, did he just state Nuclear power is clean and safe?

[mcalien24]

i was laughing my ass off at this

[Lamamel]

Three Mile Island

Three Mile Island

Three Mile Island

Three Mile Island

Three Mile Island

Three Mile Island...

How many times must you people be reminded?

[qwertyman233]

good one jacob.

[jacob303]

I'll proudly cast my vote for mcCain with my tenticle arm

[HillaryfansforBarack]

McSame sucks

Obama '08

[schmiggen]

Wow. He literally has no idea that nuclear power produces waste.

[Urschleim]

we germans are reducing our co2 emissions and are also closing all of our nuclear powerplants like no other country.

we can do it.

mc cain can`t do it.

obama can do it.

you can do it.

[bhendro52]

yep. solar and wind dominate in germany

[xxxaabbccxxx]

HMMMM ALOT of us dont wanna LIVE in a NUCLEAR SUB for the rest of our life.

[Wisegeorge]

Senator Obama has decided that storing nuclear waste in Arizona just might work, provided it is ok with Senator McCain.

[KoreanMilkman2007]

little details guys... little details lol

[GretchenDawntreader]

"it's safe and it's clean! I know nothing about how a reactor works! I figure we just...tossed the spent fuel rods over the side or something! How the heck would I know, I was busy crashing planes!"

[xTheOxx]

He's been on nuclear powered ships, but I seriously doubt he's been on ships carrying nuclear waste.

Or maybe he has, that would explain the melanomas.

[walkermydawg]

@xTheOxx And, mccain he put out his Warren Buffet bull shit boy joe the plumber and "vetted" a category 5 moron who has foreign policy experience because she can see Russia. It's amazing that given just these two things, he garnered as many votes. Bush burned out the sup. ct the first time and voting machines the second, so the next one will have to come up with some other made up bull shit, and; guess where it will appear....fox (news).

[PoliticsAddict]

ok we all realize that there is a downside to nuclear power/energy, the disposing of the nuclear waste. BUT, obama is a STRONG supporter of "clean" coal energy, first off, there is no such thing as "clean" coal, and secondly you can store the gas emissions of coal in tanks underwater or underground but what happens when the emissions are let out or when it escapes the tank. The amount of coal emmisions will melt the ice caps faster then ever, the sudden rise in co2. dangerous.

[soccertiga]

so what should we do? when we have done so much damage from coal exhaust to our atmosphere, we turn to nuclear power and damage earth's surface too! then we wont have anywhere to live. bad air, bad land....

none of it is good

[schmiggen]

"clean" coal energy is just clean*er* than regular coal energy -- a better/more efficient/cleaner way to use coal. Obviously it doesn't strictly avoid CO2 emission.

It's worth it to get this technology to places where they're going to be using coal anyway, to reduce the environmental impact. It's not a universal fix for energy problems by any standard, but it's worthwhile nonetheless, and thus supporting it is a good thing.

[anaywilly]

'sen Obama says that it has to be safe for dispose...or something like a..look, I was on navy ships that had power plants, np in safe and clean..." So, Sen McCain, it seems that you don't care anything about radioactive waste disposal..."naahhhhh, what's the big deal? a little radioactive contamination is going to harm you? coooome ooooonnnn"

[judeGti]

Kinda showed up mama's boy for no real world experience right there.

[anaywilly]

nuclear power safe and clean? hahahahahah the best joke I've ever heard

[FormerFC1]

Safe and clean compared to the other MAJOR sources I assume. Is it possible to rely on wind, solar, and water alone? Is that what Jeremiah Wright meant by "God Dam America?"

[sprint4steak]

sure and how the hell do you store it for hundreds of thousands of years?

[hotchowder]

Nuclear power isn't entirely terrible, however, disposing of the waste like other viewers have pointed out is a problem. Furthmore, I agree with Obama's plan to use nuclear power a just one of many alternative energy sources while using American innovation to create a truely viable source of energy for the future.

[foesherino]

safe and clean? where was this guy the last century?

[corbaman]

Its interesting that the sentiment meter shows people reacting negatively to nuclear power.

I don't agree with McCain much, but I do agree with him that nuclear power is one of the most viable forms of alternative energy.

The nuclear industry in the US has a history of bureaucracy and corruption, but in other countries its already successful and meets a large percentage of their energy needs.

[tba53]

Obama Campaign needs to use these comments in an ad for Nevada.

[mopareddie]

Safe and clean.... ok, so why does nuke waste it still being shipped into Yucca mountain, thousands of feet down and the only access to it is by freight train??? It's all waste!!!

Most of all you ignorant people should do your homework about nuclear power before placing your pathetic opinions on this issue.

[megabouncer]

the only good thing about nuclear power is theres enough uranium to supply us for years to come, however people ignore the fact that the waste has to go somewhere and takes millions of years for it to degrade, meanwhile its still very radioactive and nobody can live in the area for millions of years. Good point

[Princeps32]

I'm sure mccain doesn't want nuclear waste treatment to be unsafe, no one wants that, this was clearly a poorly spoken comment born out of nervousness or something. It still strikes me how old he sounded and appeared today.

[psionicman]

haha i'm the biggest nuclear power advocate there is but it's pretty hilarious how he seems to dismiss obama's concerns that it be "safe or disposableorsomethinlikethat".­ BAH LISTEN TO THIS MAN, HOW AUDACIOUS, HE WANTS THINGS TO BE SAFE

[Parsrebel1]

It's safe and it's clean..

tell that to the people of Chernobyl..

[BreakfastBacon]

"Its safe and its clean"

[boognish1975]

"Hey I'm old - I can't remember everything all the time!"

[Bertsura]

Sen. McCain, see, there's this little thing called radioactive waste...

[zame209]

lol,

and look what it did to you...

[StinkingHombre]

Hello Bill

Chernobyl

I feel ill

On my mastur bike

[MPrye]

Wait, what? nuclear power is safe? and clean?

yea it might be clean eggcept for the waste we've never been able to get rid of and are guarding 24/7 to keep from falling into wrong hands. bUt safe? cmon as the ppl whu wer and still are affected at Chernobyl.

[vmaramis]

Mprye,

there are ecological, safe, and economically viable methods to treat nuclear waste. So instead of waste that is dangerous for several millenia it will only be dangerous for several years. And for Chernobyl the accident occurred because they were running an experiment and disabled all the safety systems of the reactor. If you look up the safety records of nuclear reactors and see that nuclear accidents are fairly rare.

[stefanieshank]

so is McCain saying that we shouldn't be concerned with safe disposal of nuclear waste?

[hipmama715]

There are many solutions: solar, wind, magnetic motors, hydrogen fuel (water is the only by-product), water, etc. I think nuclear should be at the very bottom of the list, or erased altogether.

[viscountprawn]

Solar, yes, but it's not at a point where it can be used on a large scale. We need to invest in it though.

Wind, absolutely, if you live in the right areas. Same with tidal and hydro.

Hydrogen is a method of energy storage, like batteries. It's not a method of energy generation - to produce hydrogen fuel you first need an energy source like nuclear, wind, hydro, coal etc.

Magnetic motors (e.g. Orbo) are perpetual-motion scams. They put out less energy than they take in.

[grenoble1234]

He was on Navy ships with nuclear power .. and now he has cancer ..there you go my friend .. even stupid people can see the correlation ..

[vmaramis]

grenoble1234,

McCain had melanoma, a skin cancer. It is related to too much sun exposure and certain skin types. The nuclear reactors of ships have nothing to do with melanoma.

[jungshin87]

he doesnt know the word disposed

[brandino500]

Safety or something, who cares??!

[mhoney89]

Nuclear power truly is an cheap, abundant source of clean energy. The only bad part, besides the fact that plants can be targeted by terrorists, is that the nuclear waste which needs to be stored for thousands of years before it breaks down. This isn't as bad as it sounds. It can be stored in retired salt mines and such.

[hipmama715]

If it produces waste that is toxic for a long period of time, I wouldn't exactly call it "clean" energy.

[viscountprawn]

The longer the half-life of a particular isotope, the less radioactive it is. The dangerous stuff decays fairly quickly, so if you can keep waste in storage for a few hundred years the radiation won't be much worse than background levels.

[hipmama715]

I appreciate your response, and I understand about half-lifes and such, but the point I'm trying to make is that they should not be calling it something that it won't be for at least "a few hundred years". It's deceptive.

[viscountprawn]

True, and it's not exactly easy to store nuclear waste for that length of time in a safe place. Breeder reactors are expensive, too.

It's certainly not unfeasible though, and nuclear is a much greener and safer method of large-scale power generation than anything available at the moment. We should invest heavily in solar, but that will take a while to pay off, so in the meantime nuclear (or hydro where available) is a much better option than coal.

[Kulzar]

Well, that's actually something I can agree on. New nuclear power plants are clean and safe... probably not the ones on 1970 navy ships though.

[HaloedG]

One word: Chernobyl

[Tara107]

He's was on Navy ships with nuclear power... and he also had 4 bouts with cancer. Ah, McCain, I see the correlation you made.

[HillaryfansforBarack]

McSame is TOO OLD

[rocklee309]

nuclear power is clean?????? no safety precautions needed???

my god, he's lost it.

[maikai86]

Craaazy. Just gone.

[HillaryfansforBarack]

McSAME is TOO OLD

[UltraSWG]

So, who wants to live next to a nuclear power plant?

Well... besides Homer Simpson?

[dafttool]

McCain is incredibly disingenious when he talks about environmental issues, expressing concern for the world we leave to the next generations. His flippant stance on nuclear waste is a perfect example of this. But on a side note, he NEVER says how we would pay to build all of these nuclear power plants. They would cost BILLIONS & take decades, yet he makes it sound as if it is as easily done as said. As long as he doesn't treat the subject seriously, then we can't treat him seriously.

[Jimmer525]

right, and what if that money was spent on truly clean, truly safe wind power, or research into tidal, geothermal, or other such energy sources, that are much less harmful and much more abundant.

[nelllville]

i feel sorry for Mccain!

[wholtone]

Chernobyl. Three Mile Island. Who wants that in their backyard? Need I say more?

[Snowwie888]

The radioactivity must have gone to McCains' head.

The man is an idiot.

[PersonalJesus348]

A guy with cancer saying nuclear power is safe. What a laugh.

[stafax]

McCain: "Nuclear power is safe and clean! I drink that shit instead of coffee! Just look at me!"

[bushputz]

...said the man with Stage 3 melanoma and medical records that can be used as a doorstop.

[ilike2burnthing]

lying fucker!

[Vatanaven]

nuclear & clean + safe = death to all.

[KeratinizingSquamous]

lol! If Mccain gets in I will kill myself cause there will be no hope for us here. Christ what a Tool!

[grazon]

"Overly Concerned With Nuke Safety"?

Is that even possible?

"nuclear power is...clean"?

So tell me Senator where does nuclear waste come from then?

[KLNDR]

"Obama said... or something like that."

Good job McCain, way to drive that point home. Right into the ground, just like your negative campaign.

[voyeurdug]

It's clean IF the nuclear waste goes AWAY... to... NIMBY... and, doesn't go through Arizona to get there.

[1988430]

first
