Something like this would devastate the southwest during the summer months.

“So much for those electric cars.”

It’s quite amazing. Last week on CBS they had several spots promoting electric cars. The media and the left are the ones that insist on breaching our dams. The irony is disgusting.

If B. Hussein Obama is elected President, this will be known as the “George Bush Republican Blackout” in the media and in Congress.

If John McCain is elected President, this will be known as the “John McCain Republican Blackout” in the media and in Congress.

The biggest mistake this country made was making the EPA a cabinet post, another Nixon screw up.

Wrong problem. His solution for THIS problem will most likely be candles, for which you will have a carbon tax added.

Lol...

“The biggest mistake this country made was making the EPA a cabinet post, another Nixon screw up.”

His signing the Endangered species Act really started a downhill slide. Attorneys (which most enviro’s are) can have all their fees paid by taxpayers for suing anyone to comply.
It’s become quite a racket.

One more reason for Texas to secede. We have our own nuke power plants and a series of damns down the Colorado River.

That’s why I have two generators. Small generators but enough to do what I want. The only problem would be getting gas for them. I even had my well wired so I could plug one generator into it. I need water not only for us but for our horses. I would suggest that people look into having a generator around. Well worth the investment.....even if it’s for peace of mind. I can’t run our home heater but I have a wood stove. Air Conditioner....I don’t worry about that. Just the basics. The new generators today run for quite a while on a small amount of gas. Something to think about. Become as independent as possible.

Oh gosh... expect another round of "RACISM!" from Obama's camp if McCain mentions this remark.

I think most Americans who vote democrat are SO stupid that it will take serious problems to wake them up

Even 4.50 gas didnt wake them up it seems to the folly of their policies since the 70s on drilling and reifineries

Yes, but when he speaks on the day before the election, everyone, including staunch Republicans will want to vote for him.

That’s how good he/they are at convincing you that you are victims that need to be taken care of and he is the only one who can do ALL these things.

I promise you.
