Posted by RowdyWicca: NO, it will be a McCain Presidency, not a BUSH Presidency.

Response: John Mccain, as President.. What a Joke !!!

I have seen McCain vote many many times WITH the democrats, much to the chagrin of Obama Honkers, they don`t like that mentioned.

Response: D!ng Dong...Most Senators & Congressmen, Vote Across Party Lines, but Most of McCain`s Votes have Supported & Backed George Bush...

Sorry and Most Senators & Congresmen & Women are (Moderates) That means they are Neither Liberal or Conservative..Got it !!

Again, a liberal Republican and a Democratic congress is a good balance!

Response: Fairy Tales can`t Come True..If Your Racist & Dumb at Heart.

Wishful & Desperate Hopes & Dreams

jackass3213:


GOVERNORSHIPS ARE STATE-REGIONAL EXPERIENCE...

NOT NATIONAL-INTERNATIONAL EXPERIENCE..

DUMB A$$ !!


1. THERE IS ONLY ONE PRESIDENT IN MODERN TIMES TO HAVE BOTH NATIONAL & INTERNATIONAL EXPERIENCE AND HIS NAME IS GEORGE H. BUSH SR. THE FORMER CIA DIRECTOR & FORMER (R) VP UNDER MR. (666 HIMSELF) RON-ALD WIL-SON REA-GAN AND BUSH SR. WAS CONSIDERED ONE OF THE WORSE 1 TERM PRESIDENTS IN USA HISTORY...

UNTIL HIS IN-EXPERIENCED SON GEORGE W. BUSH JRS. ADMINISTRATION CAME IN AN TOOK INCOMPETENCY TO A WHOLE NEW LEVEL.

2. GOVERNORS STATE REGIONAL EXPERIENCE: JIMMY CARTER, RONALD REAGAN & BILL CLINTON HAD NO NATIONAL OR INTERNATIONAL `EXPERIENCE` NONE AT AL !!

3. BARACK OBAMA HAS NATIONAL EXPERIENCE, HE`S A SENATOR & IS INVOLVED IN THE SENATE ON (FOREIGN RELATIONS) WHICH IS INTERNATIONAL, THATS MUCH MORE `EXPERIENCE` THAN ANY OF THE ABOVE NAMED GOVERNORS HAD BEFORE THEY BECAME PRESIDENT OF THE USA.

4. OBAMA HAS DID`NT PROMISE LOWERING OF TAXES, HE HAS NEVER SAID HE`LL LOWER THE GAS PRICESS, HE`S DISMISSED THESE CONSUMER GAS GIMMICKS, THAT CLINTON & MCCAIN PROMISED, AS GIMMICKS, WHICH THEY ARE.

NOTE: YOU RACIST NEED TO ADMIT, YOU DON`T WANT A AFRO-AMERICAN AS PRESIDENT OF THE USA, JUST GROW A SPINE AND SAY JUST THAT. BECAUASE YOUR DESPERATE SWIPES ARE HOLLOW AS THE HOLLOEST LOG IN A SWAMP.

HE`S GOING TO WIN...GET IT, GOT IT..GREAT !!

Do you think that McCain will continue to pursue Bush''''s failed policies? Will he continue to lead the country on it''''s present course?

WASHINGTON A House subcommittee on Wednesday rejected a Republican-led effort to open up more U.S. coastal waters to oil exploration.

Rep. John Peterson, R-Pa., spearheaded the effort.

His proposal would open up U.S. waters between 50 and 200 miles off shore for drilling. The first 50 miles off shore would be left alone.

But the plan failed Wednesday on a 9-6, (Party-Line Vote) in a House appropriations subcommittee, which was considering the proposal as part of an Interior Department spending package.

With record oil prices and gas prices projected to hover around the $4 mark for the rest of the summer, Republicans have ratcheted up their efforts to open up oil exploration along U.S. coastline. But the long-sought change has so far been Unsuccessful.

Most offshore oil production and exploration has been banned since a federal law passed in 1981.

"We are kidding ourselves if we think we can drill our way out of these problems," House Appropriations Committee Chairman David Obey, D-Wis., said during the bill mark-up session.

Sierra Club lands program director Athan Manuel told a House committee Wednesday that drilling has been unsuccessful in driving costs down.

"The disappointing part about some of the energy policies being promoted (is) that it calls for more drilling when drilling really is the problem. And all we`ve got to show for pretty aggressive (domestic) drilling for the last 35 years is, again, $4 for a gallon of gas," Manuel said, adding "since the first Arab oil shock in the 1970s, the U.S. has produced almost 90 billion barrels of oil since then, so we`ve tried drilling our way out of the problem and it just hasn`t worked."

Environment Florida spokeswoman Holly Binns told the Media General news group that offshore drilling has no immediate impact on prices.

"It would take anywhere from seven to 10 years to bring those resources to shore to have any measurable impact on supply, Binns said, advocating renewable energy sources.

Democrats held their own series of events on Capitol Hill Wednesday to focus attention on global warming and energy independence, but drilling is not on the agenda. House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer, D-Md., said Tuesday ongoing calls for more drilling "is the Johnny One-Note of the Republican Party."

"GKC- Your response is just so typical of an insatiable liberal- We suffer from high gas proces- but don''''t want to do anyting about it- where the *f* do you want to drill?? I would suggest up your A-- for one"--Posted by jack3213

It''s pretty clear that McSame and his lock-step dittohead Bushit supporters can''t look past the end of their stubby little diks. Morons like jackoff3213 seem to think that the relatively small amount of oil that would be obtained by drilling ANWR and the California coast will let their drive their Repug Road Hippos forever. No such luck, meatheads!

The general theme of the Repugs is suck the planet dry and leave nothing for our children and grandchildren. Like one fatass SUV with a McCain bumper sticker and the license plate "USEITUP".

You clowns just don''t seem to understand that there are people who don''t share your pig attitude.

So go back to rooting in your own sheeyit!

The American people have spoken:

"A new Rasmussen Reports telephone survey%u2014conducted before McCain announced his intentions on the issue--finds that 67% of voters believe that drilling should be allowed off the coasts of California, Florida and other states. Only 18% disagree and 15% are undecided. Conservative and moderate voters strongly support this approach, while liberals are more evenly divided (46% of liberals favor drilling, 37% oppose). "

Now it''s WAY past time to move the Democrats and their "big donor and special interest group", the Enviro''s out of the way.

They have done enough damage to this great country, the two of the them, for decades now.

Johnny Short Term McCain. Once again, put forth the notion that something that will benefit the oil companies more than anyone else is the best solution. The short term benefit to the consumer will never be realized since big oil will never roll back prices because the oil or gas is generated domestically. We need a long term program which eliminates our dependence on fossil fuels and move our energy needs into the 21st century.
