| You would paint the liberals as a group that would spend our tax money overseas at the behest of the UN. I am just pointing out that your beloved conservatives are spending your tax money over seas at the behest of the oil companies. You are trying to make a point that the liberals are going to waste our tax dollars, I am making the point that your conservatives already have.

| You guys are the ones posting the "typical" attacks about liberals. The problem is that you guys try to tell us what's coming in the future, that's wierd most people can't tell us that because it hasn't happened yet. But, one thing I can do...point out the obvious facts of the past. You guys elected this idiot, fess up and take some blame, time to pay the piper. You guys told all of these same scare tactic stories about Kerry and Gore, hell, you guys didn't think McCain was good enough when he tried in 2000 and now you're trying to convince everyone. Why should anyone be listening to anything you guys say. YOU WERE WRONG THE LAST 8 YEARS. Deal with it. Man up and take the blame. Nah, you guys will pull more of your nonsense and try to convince everyone that you know what you're doing and that you are the beholders of truth. HA! Maybe you should take this time to step back and reflect on YOUR mistakes of the past 8 years and open your eyes and ears to other possibilies. Bush was a failure, and you guys KNEW he was our saviour. Now You KNOW who it is again. I say again..ROFL...

These issues stem from way before Bush took office! He's done a good job and the pressure is on now. Those hand shake deals over oil were done may years ago don't mean much now it seems. We've got oil on our land and they have got oil on theirs but the problem is we don't want to get our oil. Why? Because we said we would buy their oil, support their country and so on but we've need too much oil and have allowed them to build their country above what was expected.. Now they have got us by the balls. With that said, We have folks who do not want wells in their backyards, wells within the view of the coast and wells in wildlife sanctuaries. We know the oil is here but the American people won't let us get it so we pay these other countries to get it for us, while funding them.

However, Senate Bill 2433 is nothing more than redistribution of wealth. This reeks of Socialism which was unsuccessfully tried in the USSR, Cuba, North Korea, and China. It just doesn't work. Neither does socialized medicine. Congress had to contract out the operation of their cafeteria because of a $12,000,000 deficit. If the federal government can't operate a cafeteria, how can you trust them to run health care?

Ultralite (8/24/2008) why dwell on the the past 8 years elmiril??? what about the clinton era??? typical man...the last 16 or so years were a debacle...at least we were better off the last eight years in interest rates, unemployment, national debt...etc... go vote hildabeast...buncha damn democrats, republicans...we need a third party with some bite soon!!!AHHHHHHH, now we are getting somewhere....see you were so busy hating me and everything I stand for that you didn't bother to ASK what I stand for. I have said it on here before and I'll say it again for those that have missed it. My discussions are not to get people to vote for Obama, they are not to get people to vote for McCain. Dig through my posts and you will see it several times. DO NOT VOTE THE PARTY LINES!!!!!!! Fucking read, there are other choices out there. GREAT choices. I am not going to tell you who I think is great. It's not for me to try to tell you who to vote for. but I feel that I MUST tell you that you have more options than just the 2. If you look hard enough and have the balls to cast your vote outside of those 2 retarded parties you will see that there might just be someone that is even MORE in line with your overall beliefs than the party that mom and dad TOLD you matched your beliefs. Look at the last 3 months, Consumers made it loud and clear that they were not going to tolerate high gas prices without some sort of response. The politicians heard it and took action. It wasn't very good action and they fucked it all up as usual, but what it should display to everyone out there is that when we all have one voice we can get something done. That one voice can be shouted BEHIND 1 cause, or, it can be used to express dismay AGAINST something. The "evil" Liberals have already shown you how to do it, you just have to have the balls to step out and do it. Liberals split thier vote before. Voting not for a democrat but for Ralph Nader. Now don't get all stupid and suggest that I am calling Nader a profit or whatever stupid shit. I am suggesting that if that sort of action were taken on both sides of the fence then the Dems and Reps would get a very blatant slap in the face and either continue in their ways, thus ensuring their demise or they would change to compete with the new threat. The threat that is not yet subjected to special intrests.

The Gore who keeps getting richer by investing in the "Carbon Credts" scam? Yeah, research his speech on the internet, don't read the conservative spin on it, read the speech. You'll find that he didn't say that at all and if you put it in the context where he said it you will find that he was the sponsor of the bill that set the wheels in motion to give the funding of the government to create the beginnings of the internet. You're suggesting that glaciers aren't shrinking? and out of all that I wrote there, you grabbed onto a name? Wow, try reading to get the point and not sound bites, but I guess if you're used to reading propaganda then you are used to reading bites and taking things out of context in order to make something. Here let me make it easy for you.. "Yeah, ....don't read...conservative...speech.....of the Internet"...this is a bite taken out of context, see how it suggest that I would tell you not to read conservative speeches on the internet?????? Now, go look up the propaganda on the Al Gore internet speech and it will look just like what I typed. "...Al Gore...Invented....Internet...." Have you ever wondered what all those little dots mean between the quotes????...probably not...

I think I need to figure out a way to get the point out there that voting outside of the 2 is ok. The problem is you get the 2 big dogs going on their scare tactics trying to convince you that a vote away from them is a vote for the othe side, when if enough people do it a vote away from thier party could very well create a 3rd party, aka the wild card. lol

Have you ever wondered what all those little dots mean between the quotes????...probably not... Yes, I have read your post. Yes, I do know "what those...the quotes" mean. You guys? Talk about stereotyping. Why do you keep referring back to President Bush over and over? He is not the issue of this topic. The merits of past presidencies is inconsequential to this post. My concern is Obama. He has the most liberal voting record in the senate. Does this not worry you? Have you read the entire text of Senate Bill S. 2433? Have you read the minutes of the U.N. Millennium Development Goal? Have you read Obama's version of universal health care? Are you not concerned with the fact Obama is against additional oil drilling? Against new nuclear power stations? That Obama believes the 19,000,000 billion barrels of oil the U.S. consumes daily can be offset by properly inflating tires and getting a tune up? That Obama considers himself a "citizen of the world"? (Read his speech delivered Germany). That he bashes the U.S.? "We can't drive our SUVs and eat as much as we want and keep our homes on 72 degrees at all times ... and then just expect that other countries are going to say OK." -Senator Obama in a campaign speech today (May 18, 2008) Concerning glaciers. Yes, some are melting. So what? Glaciers have been advancing and receeding for eons prior to man. To what do you attribute that? There are just as many, if not more, reputable scientists and institutions that maintain man made global warming can not be substantiated. If you want, I will provide you with links to that effect. What happened to the man made global cooling frenzy of the 80's? Is man made global warming just the new craze? To me Al Gore is a charlatan with his own personal agenda and his own best interest at heart. In closing, I am very concerned about Obama's ideology and his lack of ability to govern. I want a president who has the best interest of the U.S. at heart. I could care less about the rest of the world. For me, Obama is not that person.

I think this is the first time I have agreed with WW2. It,s up to the American People to break the Rep, Dem, cycle. They have had a hold on this country for way too long. Either party will always do whats in the best interest for their party and screw the PEOPLE!! Vote for a 3rd party and maybe the PEOPLE once again will be heard!

Ultralite (8/24/2008) typical again on elmiril, hal, youcarenow and the likes...blame it all on bush...easy...go vote for the empty suit and reap the rewards...like i said...it's all w,s fault...
You obviously don't have the slightest clue what I believe or stand for. I think that we agree on more than we disagree about, but there is much to blame W and friends for. Times and circumstances contribute, but the facts are the facts. The Bush administration has devalued our currency, fostered debt and encouraged companies to act in ways that are not in the best interest of our country or citizens. The rights of all of us have been compromised and the power of government has grown as fast as the incompetence has been showed for the majority of Bush's appointments.
I voted for George HW Bush and I respect him for his war time service, civil service and true conservatism. He was a man who believed in the constitution, but your party deserted him for taking the reasoned approach to keep debt low as opposed to tax cuts and stimulus spending. George HW Bush was a fine president. His "voodoo economics" speech is one of my favorite quotes of all time (second to Ann Richards "golden spoon in his mouth" statement) but I digress. His son, W, is a travesty of coincidence. He was marketed and sold to us as a second coming of Reagan and, unfortunately, too many of us see Reagan as some sort of demigod when really, he was a dottering old fool who was better playing second man to a monkey.
But Reagan served an important purpose. He looked good and he sounded good. He said what we wanted to hear and he made me feel proud to be an American. Despite all the bs and subtefuge (Iran Contra, Ollie NOrth, cocaine...) we needed an uplifting and positive image and we got it.
McCain, in his current incarnation, does not uplift or inspire. He is campaigning standing on points he argued about against GWB and it makes him look stupid to me. Where he used to be a maverick or independent moderate, he's become a yes man to the Ralph Reeds and Jerry Falwells. Too bad, really. Had he won in 00, we'd be a much stronger and better country today.

fisheye48 (8/24/2008) dont electoral votes elect the president not popular vote?Yes, in a way, but voting 3rd party gets them the ability to get access to all kinds of funds and things. Ross Perot almost got enough votes one year to get his party in the mix.

Hey Xandau. Letting our currency fall is a good thing. It makes stuff cheaper for other countries so they will buy more of our product and it makes our balance of trade better.

Would it not make more sense to get elected to the House or Senate as a third party then to go straight for the president? Telling everyone what you will do and showing them by your voting record would speak volumes.
Remember the average response time to a 911 call is over 4 minutes.
The average response time of a 357 magnum is 1400 FPS.

OLDCRAB (8/25/2008) Would it not make more sense to get elected to the House or Senate as a third party then to go straight for the president? Telling everyone what you will do and showing them by your voting record would speak volumes.Absolutely, if I were to try to but into politics that's the route I would go. This is a good place to start reading, not for the individual candidates but for a nice list of alternative parties. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_third_party_presidential_candidates,_2008 My suggestion for those that are look for "change" is to read up on some of these other parties. You might just find out you are not republican or democrat at all, you might be libertarian, green or reform. Once you have found a party that more closely resembles your ideas then look at the candidate they have put up and see if that person is someone you can get behind(note that I don't suggest you immediately vote for them either). Voting a party line is dangerous. It removes thought from the processs. A bad vote that you thought about is better than a bad vote that you didn't think about. If enough people were to abandon the dems and reps they will get the major wake up call and perhaps repair themselves. It's not likely to destroy them but it can break thier comfort level. It's the comfort of knowing that they have millions of people that will vote republican or democrat(no matter what) that allows them to just sit back and ride the money train.

Chris Couture (8/24/2008) These issues stem from way before Bush took office! He's done a good job and the pressure is on now. Those hand shake deals over oil were done may years ago don't mean much now it seems. We've got oil on our land and they have got oil on theirs but the problem is we don't want to get our oil. Why? Because we said we would buy their oil, support their country and so on but we've need too much oil and have allowed them to build their country above what was expected.. Now they have got us by the balls. With that said, We have folks who do not want wells in their backyards, wells within the view of the coast and wells in wildlife sanctuaries. We know the oil is here but the American people won't let us get it so we pay these other countries to get it for us, while funding them.
on the bright side...once their oil is gone ours will remain.
They have done next to nothing to prepare for their post-oil years
after the oil runs out in the middle east, it will be a great time....nobody will ever care about those countries again

bottomfisher01 (8/25/2008) Hey Xandau. Letting our currency fall is a good thing. It makes stuff cheaper for other countries so they will buy more of our product and it makes our balance of trade better.
Hey bottomfisher, letting our currency fall is a bad thing. It makes everything we import more expensive, decreases the demand for our dollars and fosters insecurity in the markets. Devaluation is inflation and inflation steals from the owners of assets and transfers wealth to those who owe from those who own.
