The USA has had a government of Big Oil, by big Oil, and for Big Oil during the past eight years. Power to the people! Change is on the way!

You''re leaving out the fact that Al Gore isn''t a "people". He''s a Demobot, with major holdings in major corporations, that the people could never even dream of holding in their lifetimes.

Good luck expecting the Dems to change anything except pounding your modest salary into the ground.

While most of your comment was right on, I have to disagree with this statement. The Democrat Congress has accomplished one feat - they have set a record for the lowest approval rating ever!

Their approval rating is now in the single digits - less than 10% of Americans believe the Democrat controlled Congress is doing a ''satisfactory'' job.

I love how the Bushbots are concerned that Gore doesn''t live by his own standards but when it comes to skipping out on Vietnam and other wars they supported, Bushbots love chickenhawks who didn''t live by their own standards...

********* Breaking News **************

Oil prices dropped more than $4, adding to a decline of more than 10% from last week''s record high on worries about declining U.S. demand and easing political tensions between Iran and the West.

Oil''s slide marks the biggest three-day loss in the market in percentage terms since December 2004.

.......................NOW THIS DO NOTHING DEMOCRAT CONGRESS needs to send another message like the one that President Bush sent the other day.

OPEN 100 % of America''s offshore to development and production of oil.

WE THE PEOPLE "HAVE" to vote against ALL DEMOCRATS on November 4th 2008.

THEY are 100% responsible for the suffering of millions of Americans because they took the money from their pals, the Environmentalists...............................For DECADES......

The sun transmits to us 10,000 times the amount of energy being consumed in all forms. If we harness a fraction of the output that''s available in geo orbit, as is the plan in a Satellite Solar Power program (SSP), it will be the largest solution to permanent clean energy. The sunsat was invented by Peter Glaser in the United States in 1968. SSP will use lunar materials for construction, and the program is seen as the industrial reason to settle cis-lunar space. The infrastructure will make use of asteroid materials as well. The sun will last another 4 billion years. The National Security Space Office of the Pentagon now leads R&D, though the program will not be "owned" by DOD. I suggest read up on NSSO''s report: "Space Based Solar Power as an Opportunity for Strategic Security", released 10/10/07. SSP is approaching a business case but still needs cheap launch technologies to get people, tools, and electronics off the ground. Lunar launch is achieved by electromagnetic devices called Mass Drivers. The next President can make the galvanizing call, in Apollo-like fashion, to get the program accomplished. Participation by interested businesses and nations is required. Over the course of a 50-year ramp up, SSP will replace fossil fuels as our primary energy source. Oil can be used for other manufacturing. By using materials already at the top of earth''s gravity well, SSP will come to undersell coal and nuclear fission. The solar system is our home. The battle cry going forward? "DRILL UP!"

The only thing Obama needs to change is his diapers. The guy is so inexperienced and unknowledgeable about foreign policy that he thinks he can manage the military without ever visiting the battlefield.

He has never been to Afghanistan. He has only been to Iraq once and that was nearly three years ago. Yet he wants to be Commander in Chief. What a great ''change'' that would be.

His plan to abandon Iraq would only change our emerging success against Al Queda into complete and total defeat.

typical liberal, he has to tell us how to live but refuses to live under the same standard. Has made millions of his phony animated slide show filled with false information and propaganda (Polar bears dont drown).
Little know fact,in the late 70''s he was preaching about global cooling and the oncoming ice age.

Does anybody actually like Al Gore? Does anybody actually believe that his rantings on global warming are motivated by anything other than his own need to be in the spotlight?

Seriously, if this guy was so concerned about the environment there is no way he would burn 10,000+ gallons of fuel every other day on his personal jet flights. No way he would live in a mansion that uses 23X the electricity used by the average American household.

Al Gore peddaling "carbon credits" as a solution to pollution, is the equivalent of a scammer trying to sell the Brooklyn Bridge.

Funny how Gore always sounds the alarms and then asks other people to do something about it.

Meanwhile, he is flying around in his personal jet burning over 10,000 gallons of fuel for every flight.
