- Did you know John McCain is so dumb that he finished at the bottom of his class at Navy and only graduated because his daddy and grandaddy were admirals.
Sounds familiar. Oh like the guy in the white house now who had his daddy get him on the cheer leading squad at Yale.

Yes and no surprise. The Republican party values conformity as directed from above rather than an intelligent debate to reach the best consensus. They attract a vocal following from the lowest common denominator. - Reply to this comment
- However, the NRA is full of whack jobs who think that any random person should be allowed the right to carry around assault rifles. Give me a break.
They act like they think they live in revolutionary war times.

You are correct about the NRA. But you can''t blame them. If the Second Amendment makes gun ownership constitutionally protected, it must include just about any variety of military arsenal under the sweep of this protection. The Constitution does not mention ''guns'' per se but the ''right to bear arms.'' - Reply to this comment

- The Supreme Court has already made its decision abount owning guns. Obama really cannot do a thing about it. RESPONSIBLE gun ownership is really the issue not the right to own a weapon.Why doesn''''t the NRA give this money where it will do good, like support for our Soldiers and their families, or into developement of alternative fuel sources since the price of gas has so many Americans strapped and the price of gas is raising the price of all other commodities. How many elderly will freeze to death this winter because they will not be able to afford heat for their homes? These are the real issues, not gun ownership. Another question, why does any citizen have the need to own an ak47 or any other weapon like this? I own three handguns,I have a liscense for each of them, they are safely locked up and kept where I know they are. I really don''''t see any of this as an issue. I am also a Democrat, who will vote for Obama.

- Governors in some coastal states promised to block attempts to tap offshore petroleum reserves, citing concerns about the environment and tourism. Others agreed with President Bush`s call to lift a 27-year-old federal ban on offshore drilling but said states should decide whether to allow it.
Bush on Wednesday joined Republican presidential candidate John McCain in calling for the lifting of a prohibition on drilling along the East and West coasts and in the eastern Gulf of Mexico. As the battle to lift the moratorium began to play out in Washington, states debated their stance.
Note: "As Governor of California, I will do everything in my power to fight the federal government on this issue and prevent any new offshore drilling," Republican Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, a McCain supporter, said Wednesday.
This is about Diverse Energy Alternatives, its about Alternative Energy & Fuels. - Reply to this comment

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 7-10 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." - Reply to this comment
