Eleanor, In a paragraph or less, why do you hate America?

The same could be said of George W Bush and the GOP.

The energy crisis is nothing new. Jimmy Carter warned us (and his measures got the price of oil down to $10 a barrel, less you forget) over 2 decades ago. Now, after years of defeating measures that would have forced the US to raise fuel efficiency standards and decrease demands, suddenly the GOP cares? I don’t think so. They just saw this as a chance to capitalize on the problems they themselves have caused. And was was Dick Cheney’s super secret energy task force about anyway? The Iraq war?

Because….?

You’d Make Rush L. Proud. Obama said that the GOP made fun of the fact that we could save 3-4% of our fuel by having our tires inflated. “It’s as if they take pride in being ignorant.” He never said the American people were ignorant, as you claimed. He said the GOP “leadership” was. Now, how many people will see your distortion, but not my correction of your distortion?

The real Rush would never be this honest.

He said, “It’s as if they take pride in being ignorant.” Please stop taking people out of context. This is what Rush L was talking about.

People, please read his posts. There is no way that this is anything other than somebody satiring Rush and the right-wing hate machine. Read this from one of his posts: “Bonnie, we have to keep up this disinformation. That last thing we need is for this election to actually be about the issues, because obviously we have no solutions. We also need to make sure that the next administration is Republican, just to keep the current administration out of jail.” Does anybody really think that the REAL Rush would be that frankly and honest? Really?

And yet he is still losing. Doesn;t seem like false hope to me.

Now if only McCain’s mind was focused. Iraq-Pakistan border?! Now THAT is scary!

What makes Bush different is the number of troops who have died because of his lies. Clear enough?

Wow, so many distortions, so little time. OK: Dems in congress two years, watched the foreclosure crisis and energy costs sky rocket - did nothing (eye roll) - Deregulation of the banks in the 80’s allowed them to lower their reserves to cover bad debt and loosen the regulations covering mortgages. It took a full 20 years to come home to roost, but here are your eggs. The Bill to deregulate was signed by Ronald Reagan. Energy costs are being manipulated by the energy industry, who takes billions of tax dollars, makes billions more in profit, and laugh at us all the way to the bank. Dick Cheney has a secret “energy taskforce” and refuses to release the information as to who was there and what was decided. Next thing we know, suddenly, there’s an energy “crisis.” As we saw in California, when the energy firms manipulated electricity to create a crisis, they have done the same thing on a global scale by waging an illegal war in Iraq and “creating” insecurity in the region, and driving up the value of delivered oil. Big oil is putting big money into McCain’s pockets. You can do the math. As for the Presidency not being important, I think that the last eight years has shown us the danger of having an ideologue in the White House, and McCain has pointed out how much he and the President are on many occasions. “I’ve voted with the President over 90% of the time,” he said on the primary trail, repeatedly. As for Obama “moving onto the world stage” and “I never get the feeling he really has an interest in America’s day-to-day problems.” You’ll get that impression watching Fox News. I get the impression that John McCain doesn’t have a clue what our problems are, and is more concerned about “Problems on the Iraq-Pakistan border.” Most people call the Iraq-Pakistan border Iran, but not John. McCain fit to be president? He’s a good man, but the job is way over his head. Like our current, McCain is not intellectually curious, and has no desire to become so. I also hear that McCain is trying to get his wife to enter into a topless competition at a bike rally, so he’s anti-family as well. Who can trust somebody like that?

If you are committing US troops to an unnessacary war you had better be prepared to protect their lives. Bosnia, zero US combat deaths. Iraq, many more. If this basic respect for life doesn’t matter to you, than ..I don’t know what to tell you.
