Halloween has come early this year: Republicans have forgotten how to run without scare tactics.
You would think that President Bush, knowing the needs of the oil companies, would have waged a war of words to push the domestic drilling. Maybe he thought that Iraq oil would have become available to increase the world supply.
I think the dominant issue will be the cost of energy. The party that comes up with a clear message about a solution will win.
I happen to be a drilling consultant in the Oil Industry. It’s something that is truly a fact of life. You are correct. There is no over night solution.
We are drilling heavily now, and have been since 2003. You still have not seen the result of all that activity. It will still take several more years for it to even effect the price by a few percentage points. In the World scheme of things, it is only a drop in the barrel.
“I would have paid good money to watch Duncan Hunter “debate” Obama.”
Debate...verbally destroy....whichever.
“Richard Viguerie is an ass. As usual. With Republican “friends” such as Viguerie, who needs enemies?”
Well, you can bash him, but can you refute the points he makes?
I’ve said some of the same things here and get bashed by the rabid McCainiacs. That sure makes me want to support him/S
Interesting. You've been a member since 2005 but the site says you've had NO posts until last week. You've amassed 50 this week, most bashing McCain and "moderate" Republicans.
Maybe you're legit. Or maybe you're a troll trying to seed discontent. In either event, your position is defeatist and boring.
“who habitually paints decent public servants and fellow conservatives as feckless sell-outs and betrayers. “
He’d be right about 99% of the time.
I’m surprised this hasn’t been ModYanked yet.
Tell that to all the victims of Muslim attacks. I’m sure they feel differently.
“NO posts until last week. You’ve amassed 50 this week, most bashing McCain and “moderate” Republicans.”
Good for him, we all should be bashing Mccain and moderate Republicans. This is a conservative site not a squisshy moderate site. Maybe you’re the one out of step.
Yeah I’ve been kinda wondering when this became a pro McQueeg site.
Ah, you’re a moderate, LOL.
Baloney. Obama is a leftwing with marxist friends and ideals no matter WHO runs against him.
“Incumbents running for re-election this year are screwed.
A “perfect storm” of $5. gas and heating oil, higher food prices and unemployment will be peaking just in time for November. People are, and will be, angry - very angry.”
That would be wonderful if we dumped the 230 Democrat incumbents in the House and the 15 Senate Democrats up for re-election.
They are to blame for most of this mess after all.
McCain is trying to run as a democrat, of course he has nothing.
Viguerie is nailing nothing.
It’s not fearmongering but simply telling it like it is: Obama is unfit and far too leftwing to be President. Obama is wrong on Judges, taxes, spending, Iraq, Hamas, Iran, socialized healthcare, abortion, the UN - everything!
The man is the worst nominee the Democrats have put up in 40 years. He will be worse than Carter and is certainly worse than McCain would be by a long shot.
The fact that the media is in the tank for Obama and that Obama is as capable as CLinton was of a dishonest campaign only underscores the need further to tell the truth about Obama.
Its painful to see Viguerie bashing Republicans for doing things Viguerie used to do to an even greater extent. Another victim of BDS.

“The Republicans have forgotten that,”
Not true. Check these conservatives out - they are running this year ...
