Well, almost. We're looking at $5 a gallon for heating oil this winter. But that is not the fault of the President. If any group is to blame, then I would place the blame squarely on the shoulders of the do-nothing Congress that has managed to pass less than 200 bills this session - the lowest in history.

Let's see, most Democrats voted to authorize the use of force to remove Saddam in 2003, after years of supporting the official Clinton Admin position for Regime Change in Iraq; Now suddenly, at election times, are magically opposed to the removal of a Saddam, a man that caused two wars, was a state sponsor of terrorism, harbored terrorists, thumbed his nose at the peace treaty he sued for after Gulf War I, grafted his way through black market oil sales via UN endorsed "Oil for Food", and are now endorsing the need to invade a nuclear tipped Pakistan?

The Democrats are desperate, they have nothing but pomp and party. Fake enthusiasm wrapped in negative rhetoric about how the economy is wrecked, how the country is in a desperate state mere moments from becoming a Third World Nation - and only the demagogue Obama can save us through "change".

The message of the Democrats: America is a failed state and only Obama can save it......

Everyone here, and everyone who cares about the future of this country NEEDS to wake up tomorrow, go to the nearest McCain office and ask what you can do to help him. If you can walk, go door to door. If you can't walk, get on the phones. If you don't want to do that, help put up yard signs, do lit drops, or hand out literature at local events.

This idiot has a heck of a ground game working for him, and we MUST beat him at it, or you are now looking at the next POTUS. Everyone, and I mean EVERYONE must get involved. I am totally convinced that the future prosperity and well-being of this nation depends upon our action.

It's a great day because a black man has been nominated by a major party for President in the USA. MLK is smiling in heaven right now.

Unfortunately, Barack Obama, the person, is a megalomaniac. Everything is about him, he thinks. His lawyers are off filing criminal charges at anyone who makes a strong argument against Obama. If he becomes President, his Attorney General will be the chief prosecutor of the United States. Obama would make Nixon look like an angel. It would be terrible if the first black President gets impeached, yet with Obama that is likely the best we could get.

For the sake of civil rights, we need vote against Obama.

This reminds me a bit of one of President Clinton's state of the union speeches: a huge laundry list of feel-good rah-rah things that are stated as "we will do this" with no substance of how he plans to accomplish his lofty goals. Then toss in a dose of "everything awful and we have to CHANGE it" with a few sly jabs at Sen. McCain. That's all this is.

Cut taxes for 95% of working families? That means everyone else gets royally screwed.

End dependence on oil from the mideast? HOW? Without drilling?
I know - he'll ruin the economy so we won't use oil.
Ok, so drilling is a stopgap - but we aren't going to get anywhere else without it.
Our car companies retool? They're building cars in Canada and Mexico! Honda and Toyota are building in the US.

A couple things while the page was loading...

- McCain has been in the senate for 26 years. How long has Biden been in again?

- Of course our oil demand has risen. How quickly has the country grown in those 26 years?

- Of course oil is a stopgap! It doesn't last forever (we think)

- Where is he going to get all this money from for helping auto companies, research into alternative energies, paying for new teachers, paying for every student, while cutting taxes?
