I hope Obama picks Paris. It''s about time we have a hot woman VP. Gramps can pick some wrinkled, old white-haired lady with boobs hanging down to her knees to compliment his own fine, wrinkled, old white-haired features.

"In Washington DC... years of "experience" only equals one thing: Years of corruption!"

so true. The talk about experience stopped quick when a little research showed that Obama had accomplished more in his short time in the Senate than McCain did in decades. Seems McCains "experience" is mostly in getting elected and playing politics, not doing anything for his country or his constituents.

Obama''''s biggest problem with finding a veep is to find someone that does not outstrip him in experience.

Sadly, the Dems are against child labor.

Years of corruption!

I''d sooner vote for my next-door neighbor this November. He is a PH.D. and a biochemistry professor. His IQ is equal to, if not higher, than Bush, McCain, and Obama added together! (10+40 80)

Only ONE slight problem! It totally obliterates his claim that he''''s a ''''straight-shooter''''! Oh well, paint over the slogan on the bus---straight talk express---it was bound to happen!

The slogan on the short bus that McCain is (mentally) riding in never needs to be painted over, since it is on a mental etch-a-sketch!

Azure11, Obama is not right. Yes, we can save a little bit on gas, but gas is not the entire picture.

Automobile (gasoline) consumption accounts for only 20% of the US'' total use of oil. The other components of oil are used by power plants, jets, and industry. In case you didn''t know, gasoline only comprises a small percent of crude. Crude oil is made up of several hydrocarbons, which are extracted based on molecular weight and refined. Gasoline is a different liquid fuel than jetfuel or diesel or even the leftover gunk which is used in asphalt. Gasoline prices might go down $.10pg if we inflate our tires, but that won''t have any effect on other fuels derived from oil, and the economy will still tank. Jetfuel will still have the same amount of supply when car fuel consumption is decreased. Same with diesel... if we don''t INCREASE PRODUCTION ON OIL, then supply for jet fuel and diesel fuel will never increase, even if demand for automobile gasoline decreases. The truckers and airline industry are dying, and Obama''s plan does nothing to help them.

Saving on gas does nothing to help the other sectors. McCain, on the other hand, wants to increase crude oil supply, and he wants to decrease consumption. He too has called for more efficient cars. He wants to cut down on oil consumption from power plants by building 45 nuclear plants and more coal plants. Obama... "let''s just research alternatives while the supply diminishes and the economy burns."

OBAMA --HAS-- TO PICK A WHITE MALE TO GARNER THAT DEMOGRAPHIC... BAYH FITS THE BILL- YOUNG, WHITE, ALSO... PATHETICALLY LIBERAL-SOCIALIST.

"THE GOVERNMENT THAT PROMISE EVERYTHING CAN TAKE IT AWAY JUST AS EASILY..."

SORRY, HITLERY KLINTON... NO VEEP FOR YOU- YOU ARE NOT THE RIGHT GENDER... (OR ARE YOU?)

stn_sage, On what basis do you claim his entire campaign has flip flopped?

All polls on the publics confidence in either candidate lean strongly toward McCain. This makes sense - Obama is a mysterious sudden global superstar that speaks nothings and makes people nervous. The only polls that favor Obama are the ones that ask "Who do you THINK will win..." A lot of people think Obama will win because he paid for huge media attention. Who will the people actually vote for? The one they''re more confident in, naturally.

McCain''s overall campaign strategy ITSELF has ''flip-flopped''! He''s gone from being on one side THEN flipping to the other side (flip-flop strategy). TO,
being on BOTH sides simultaneously!

How''s that for a STRATEGY!? Now, since he''s covered both ways, he can please EVERYBODY---depending on where he''s at and who he''s speaking in front of!

How''s that for being a technical genius?! HUH?

Only ONE slight problem! It totally obliterates his claim that he''s a ''straight-shooter''! Oh well, paint over the slogan on the bus---straight talk express---it was bound to happen!

It''s called freedom of expression...I would think any one bowing at the feet of Obama would appreciate that civil right more than any other. WWOD? Shame.

What!? The most incompetent and criminally corrupt administration in US history didn''t get your attention? To have passed through all eight years of Bush was incredibly difficult for America.

Most people polled express profound dissastifaction with Bush. Many consider him the worst president, ever, and a considerable number favor impeachment for what appear to be high crimes and misdemeanors against the people of the United States.

In contrast, Obama campaigns well on his own merit. In fact, Obama''s candidacy is centrist, and a sweeping breath of fresh air for American politics and hopes.

(see Bush and McBush-- 2)

Proper tire inflation and tuneups are no joke.

Bush Administration estimates that expanded offshore drilling could increase oil production by 200,000 bbl. per day by 2030. We use about 20 million bbl. per day, so that would meet about 1% of our demand two decades from now. Meanwhile, efficiency experts say that keeping tires inflated can improve gas mileage 3%, and regular maintenance can add another 4%. Many drivers already follow their advice, but if everyone did, we could immediately reduce demand several percentage points. In other words: Obama is right.
***************************************************
How in the world are you able to keep up wtih the tires? Run over nails, getting them rebalance and rotated, and services every 6,000 miles is more cosly than inflating your dad gum tire. Oh guess what, the manufacture increasing the tire cost because of high energy (gas).

I take heart in knowing that most of them will choose to sleep in or go party or something.
Did you all hear that Clooney will be holding an Obamathon in Switzerland? WOW! How much more American can you get?!

Bush and McBush-- 2

Predictably, McBush and Bush move rightward toward disaster. From promising a blank check on Iraq occupation (already longer than WW2) to blessing the gyrations and plunder of Wall Street, McBush has nothing but more Bush disasters to offer. Already, Bush has left our country with a staggering debt to fund his own greed and folly.

Interestingly, the McBush you consider is not the McCain of years past. That McCain is long gone, and McBush replaced him. Like the "New Nixon", McBush is simply new packaging to sell an old product.

And the lack of effort and conviction shows.

Last February, McBush was on the ropes. In a test of character, McBush made a Faustian deal with the GOP to embrace the Bush faction platform in return for oil lobby funding and an agreement to leave behind many of his own criticisms of Bush.

Which left McBush simply more Bush-- stuffed and mounted to resemble the opportunist, criminally incompetent reprobate from Texas we know and loathe.

Unfortunately, our amended Constitution allows teenagers to vote in elections; that''s an unsettling proposition. I think it should be changed back to the minimum voting age of twenty-one. Hey, even during some of the caucuses, seventeen year olds were allowed to vote, so long as they''d be eighteen by the General Election.

You''re the craziest koolaid drinker of all if you mean what you say here. Four more years of Bush policies will bankrupt our country; even his former supporters don''t bring up Bush''s record anymore, they just attack Obama. Look at the way that McCain is trying to distance himself from this administration. Cheney has been told to stay home and I''m certain that Bush''s presence won''t be much appreciated either.
