When Americans are shivering or sweltering in their darkened homes because they cannot afford their utility bills we may get another “change” in Washington.
TOTUS’s policies, including this one, if put into effect, will without a doubt, plunge the country, and then the world, into a severe depression.
Not that it matters, but I think McCain completely missed his one chance.
During the talks on the 700 billion bailout package - IF - he had come out and said "You know, I've talked with my constituents, and after further reflection, I just can't in good conscience, support the bill". Given the political climate at the time, IF he does that, I think that the race is at worst, a dead heat.
That was his chance to differentiate himself from Pres. Bush, and Obama. He missed it, IMHO.
Exactly! Control! Did anyone catch Beck the other day? He informed his viewers about Zero’s pick for the EPA, who just happened to belong to a socialist group. This info was, of course, cleared from the web upon her nomination. Info about her is cached and you can still find it on google. Beck and his guest were saying that they are going to CONTROL our thermostats and air conditioners in the name of GREEN. So if you run your air to high during the summer, the power to your house will be, lets see....how do I put it nicely....the power will be ADJUSTED!
Sounds a lot like control to me!
PING!
Ping Ping Ping!!!
You’re right on with this one! I fear more and more are going to chooses this route to survive, now that its “favorable” to live off the sweat of others.
Its sickening that the bulk of Zero supporters were under the age of 23 (correct me here if this figure is wrong). These bimbos & bimbettes have never been out in the real world...working, renting, buying, investing....never. They ran around and waved their little voters card now that they are of legal age....and boy! They can go back to their home and say to their parents, wow we really can make a difference when we vote. While the parents gently smile at their young adult offspring and say “Yes, you certainly did make a difference...”
Of course the parents are old school and principled. They don’t have the heart to tell their proud young adult child that by the irresponsible vote they cast, they have now lost everything, including their way of life.
Sad.
Yep. While McCain was negotiating a $700 BILLION government give away, the vast majority of Americans saw that as the biggest pork barrel bill of all time (until the zero’s came along). Opposing it as just another wasteful government project would have gone a long way in setting himself apart from the zero. For the last several weeks, his theme could have been, “Obama supported giving away $700 BILLION to companies that deserve to fail because they ran their companies in the ground. I, on the other hand, oppose and will ALWAYS oppose pork barrel spending.”
bttt
Incorrect. The "youth vote" was no more a factor in this race than in any time in the past. The bulk were life long Rats. The rest were the middle few percent that can be persuaded one way or the other based on how they "feel" about a candidate.
“Obama and his allies justify it all by claiming it’s necessary to save the planet from man-made global warming, even though the Earth for many years has been cooling instead.”
Anybody else feeling ready to bust some jaws the next time this “do whatever we want and get away with it” card is parroted by naive useful idiots?
“Yet President Obama and his political allies in Congress are pushing aggressively for climate change legislation as a centerpiece of their agenda.”
Why shouldn’t they; it gives them more control over peoples’ lives, which means more leverage in the next election.
I stand corrected. Thank you.
ROFL...it would have been even funnier with the Spock ears.
It isn't lost, but if you don't tell your kids where they screwed up, they'll do it over and over again and it will be.
Have the heart to tell them what is wrong without placing blame on them. If they have cause to squirm, they own it, and maybe they will do better next time.
Your philosophy is undying. Kudos to you!
