“No we can’t expand oil exploration, drilling or refining.

No we can’t build nuclear power plants.

No we can’t convert coal to oil.

No we can’t extract oil from shale.”

Who would’ve thought that the things that made this country great, our spirit and ingenuity, would come to be neutered by the greenies.

Just playing devil’s advocate here: How many of these actually convert to Yes if we vote for Obama’s opponent?

No we didn't nominate Romney, the one contender capable of addressing all those issues.

No need to go to the dance. Passivity isn't the default. There are other activities.

If you can’t bring yourself to vote for the lesser of two evils, don’t come whining to me if the greater evil prevails.

"don’t come whining to me"

What a concept. How do ideas like that even enter your mind? You live in a universe totally alien to me.

EXCELLENT !!!!!!!!!! That is a perfect prime-time speech for someone like Michael Steele to deliver at the GOP Convention.

Great job.

Agreed! Just for starters, Obama’s Supreme Court and reinstitution of the Fairness Doctrine with talk radio only a memory, will only be the tip of the iceberg that will sink our country.

Quite a legacy to pass on to all our children and grandchildren.

BINGO!!! He had the money, the looks, the smarts, the experience, was an outsider and could have ran against Washington... Most importantly, he had the fire in the belly, and would have taken the fight to the enemy, H!

The only thing we can mention is his slogan, Vero possumus: "Truly a possum."

Ah, that's right. Because back in the heady days in which we controlled all three branches of government, we were well on the way to enacting exactly none of them.
