And we haven't mentioned John Edwards one time in this thread. That's
how compassionate we are.

Here is a link to Obama's plan so you can compare it to the Bush/McCain
plan:

OK - so the translation of his bullets is that he wants to wreck the
economy with false science global warming crap as part of his making us
energy independent, no nuclear energy development, and continue down the
road of doing the opposite of what's claimed or needed with biofuels.

So-called windfalls profits tax - great drive up prices for the people
he cares so much about and feels such empathy for how much they are
already paying for fuel - what an idiot.

"Require oil companies to use existing oil leases" - great - force them
to drill where there is no oil but don't let them drill where there is
oil and let foreign companies deplete the supplies in those same places
- again - what an idiot.

So do the things that feel good (and punish the big guys) but that
actually will have the opposite effect of the stated intent (helping the
little guy, and don't do what's really needed to be done. About what I
figured.

"Liberalism's solution always has the opposite effect of its stated
intent" (Jim Quinn) was never a truer statement than with this guy. At
the top of his web page: "I am asking you to believe".

wait till china finishes setting up that offshore rig between Cuba and
Florida they are setting up and operating for the Cuban government then
wait and see how much attention that gets within 50 miles of our
borders....its already in the works, so in a few months we'll see what
people think then.

McCain means a continuation of many of the policies that has put the USA
in the mess it's now in.
A change to change the back room uglys is needed for survival.
