Obama and dems. These guys are scary!
 
Imagine our country without a defense system and Iran having weapons to use aganst us. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7o84P...day.guest.html



Now imagine what the dems want to do by nationalizing the oil industry. It is the Dems and some Republicans that are causing high gas prices by not allowing the oil companies to drill and refine more on our land.

I dont understand why more folks dont pick up on this. If they did, the democrats would be up shit creek without a paddle. I sure hope folks really know what they are getting all of us into.:eek:

It will be really great when we start drilling and refining what oil we can pump out of the ground in our country now so we can save a few cents a gallon for a few years.

I would like to believe that it's in our long term best interest to actually have oil underground that we can remove in the future.

Even if they started drilling today, it would be years before we would see any benefit. The cost of mounting the operations would be pretty staggering and they'd just pass those costs on to us in the form of higher gas prices anyway.

But I don't know everything about the oil industry so maybe I'm off base on my line of reasoning.

I think it's a deflated dollar that's causing high gas prices... and milk, and food, and porn prices.. This adjustment was a long time coming, not fun but it will eventually ease up once the dollar gets stronger. Increased crude consumption by China and others can cause brief but bearable shortages, but nothing that should cause the price to triple.

In the end the high prices will lead to better alternative energy supplies.

vote for me - w00t - FTW !

This video is pretty enlightening...

I actually was starting to like Obama a little... but that video sort of brought me to my senses...

I hope you were being sarcastic.

About liking Obama? Yes - I was. :)

I think he's a great speaker, but I've never really trusted him. I trust him less and less the more I learn about him.

Wow, I have been saying much the same thing. He is a terrific speaker (even if there are 58 states) but I just can't vote for him knowing even the little there is to know about him.

The problem is there is plenty to know about his opponents and I don't want to vote for them either.

I will still vote for McCain even though I dont care much for any of them. Most folks will vote in this coming election to stop the other candidate from winning. Its pretty sad but I will hold my nose when I pull the lever for McCain. Lesser of evils. The dems will still think they win even if McCain wins the election. I just cant fathom the idea of Obama cutting defense budgets bigtime and counting on Russia to do the same and while Iran is building an arsenal of WMD. Obama is out of touch with reality.

On the flip side, we've got McCain who would have us attack every oil producing country in the middle east.

As a long time Republican I am a little frightened by my options.

Lotharr 06-01-2008 06:29 PM

I don't think the Democratically-controlled Congress would allow McCain to do any more damage beyond what we've already gotten ourselves into. (Then again, this Congress is pretty lame...) We need to make Iraq as stable as possible before we should be thinking about anything else.
