An Oily Mess

Nancy Pelosi and the like campaigned on ending the war in Iraq to get elected. Did they end the war? Have they done anything constructive as a legislative body since assuming their positions after getting elected? Profound-NO !!
Are they in touch with what is going on with gas prices and the effect it is having on the economy or the destruction of our families of having anything on the table to eat? Profound-NO !!
Will either Presidential candidate when elected be able to work in harmony with Pelosi and her losers for the betterment of the country? Doubtful.
Politicians have sit in office since the gas crunch in the 1970's and have done absolutely nothing towards preparing us for this high cost crisis we are in or finding and funding research for alternate fuel.
"Change" is the campaign mantra Obama preaches but no definition of what those changes include. Politicians are Kingdom Keepers offering anything and everything to get elected and then become tone deaf to job performance and the need of the country.

More info from SinclairPC/arrest.......looks like PUMA may get involved.......

At the Press Club, Avi also ran into Will Bower, a sometimes-Huffington Post blogger who founded ???Party Unity, My Ass??? ??? a group for die-hard Clinton supporters that are now backing McCain ??? and was invited by the McCain campaign last weekend to meet with the presumptive Republican nominee, and called Sinclair's story "worth exploring."

???I don???t think he should be written off without consideration,??? he said when asked about Sinclair. ???I think it's worth exploring.???

NOBAMA!!!

First, there is no gurantee that we'll find an oil. Even if we do, it will be 7-10years before we see a drop of oil. Learn the facts and don't let polticians like McBush play on your emotions.

TYLER - The price of oil swelled to another record high Monday morning - before dropping back. It almost hit $140 a barrel - but then fell 25 cents. It appears - a recent increase in oil output from Saudi Arabia -- is not driving down crude prices. Former Speaker of the House, Newt Gingrich, who started a bipartisan group called "American Solutions for Winning the Future" held little back at the Texas Republican Convention. He wants to use American solutions to change to the U.S. energy policy.

Simply put - he's fed up with Congress: "The problem is not big oil or the foreigners," said Speaker Gingrich. "The problem is not the Saudis. The problem is getting Congress to do it's job." And that job, he says, is to start using the energy we have. "Congress outlaws every conceivable energy source," said Speaker Gingrich. Gingrich is making his case for domestic drilling by launching a campaign with Actor Chuck Norris, with the slogan: "Drill here, Drill now, Pay less." The campaign is urging Congress to do something now to bring down gas prices. Speaker Gingrich also has thoughts on speculators. "It's people who are betting the U.S. is too dumb to produce (its own oil)."


He sides with East Texas Congressman Louie Gohmert -- when it comes to speculators and drilling. "If you began selling off two million barrels a day...we can pump out of the Strategic Petroleum Reserve. It would immediately bring down the price of oil." Speaker Gingrich proposes selling off half of the reserve - now. "Do it suddenly..without telling anybody in advance and punish every speculator."The very speculators, he says, that are betting against America."

It amazes me how partisan we, the people, have become. 10 years ago, I hated how partisanship among politicians made progress very slow. Today, that partisanship is infecting the general public, including me. The Democrats believe all our problems are due to the evil Oil companies stealing our fortunes, and the Republicans believe the Democrats want us to live under Socialism. The truth is somewhere in the middle.

The concept of having two parties is to look at both sides of issues to come up with common solutions that work for all. Unfortunately, we are allowing partisanship to polarize our positions, and are growing ever more deadlocked--so much so that nothing can or will

The reality is that as humans, we all have the same basic needs. Working together, common solutions can be found that will work for all. Unless America can break free from this partisan deadlock, the world will soon pass us by, and we will cease to be the world leaders in anything.

The reality is that neither side is clean in any of this, and our current government programs are excessively wasteful. If the government we have ran efficiently, maybe the conservatives would be less opposed to adding more programs. Before we go and create more screwed up programs, why don't we work on fixing the programs we have. Here are couple of thoughts:

With the price of gas increasing at a record pace, instead of trying to force oil companies to lower prices, find the cause of the problem, and fix it. The reality is that the price of oil is determined by the cost of oil FUTURES, not the actual cost of the oil. If you regulate the trading of oil futures, you could prevent price bubbles like we are currently seeing. This is a place where more government regulation would be appropriate.

Another example, when hospitals are charging $100 for a tylenol, there's a problem with that system. If we fix the problems in the healthcare & insurance industries, we wouldn't need a government program to provide health insurance to be able to afford healthcare. Government healthcare is a band aid. Let's fix the real problem.

No matter what we do, none of it matters much unless we can come together as a people to work together for the common good. United we stand, Divided we fall. That will forever be true, and it's up to us to decide whether we stand or fall.

Hydrogen fuel cells are the answer to our gasoline crisis, not offshore drilling for more oil. Oil is a dirty industry with a very limited fuel supply remaining on the planet. Hydrogen fuel cells use algae to produce energy, and instead of producing CO2 (like oil and gasoline) they emit water and oxygen, which improve the atmosphere and help clean the air that you breathe. Hydrogen fuel cell cars have already been manufactured and work extremely well. General Motors, Honda and BMW all have hydrogen fuel cell cars IN PRODUCTION, not just in development. In five or ten years, we will all be driving them. Unless of course Newt Gingrich and Geo. W Bush succeed in blocking clean energy technology, and ramming this crazy offshore drilling bill through Congress.

Want to dominate the global economy? THE FUTURE BELONGS TO THE NATION THAT CAN SUCCESSFULLY BREAK FREE OF FOSSIL FUEL. That is where your tax dollars should be going -- to strengthen America.

Obama's education plan is unique in the history of America. He wants to train thousands of new scientists and engineers to create the best renewable energy infrastucture on the planet. That way, when the oil runs out, the OPEC countries will be coming to US for their energy needs.

Obama is not just a tax and spend Democrat. His education program isn't about your kids taking more art classes, or getting a free ride through college. It is about investing iN American INDIVIDUALS, to STRENGTHEN the American economy. Why ship jobs overseas when we can create them right here while we break free from our oil dependence. Why pour billions into offshore drilling that will provide less than a decade's worth of oil and gas, when we could put that money into an energy infrastructure that really would free us and is renewable -- it would last forever.

CHECK OBAMA'S VOTING RECORD HE IS AGAINST HYDROGEN !!! THATS THE CLEANEST FUEL THERE IS !!!http://obama.senate.gov/votes/index.cfm?start=1

Dear WillNotVote, lots of people don't know that the largest stockpile of oil IN THE WORLD is owned by the US investment banks, with Merrill Lynch having the biggest share and other banking houses like Morgan Stanley also holding large reserves. They are holding way more oil than the US govenrment has in reserve, and they are withholding their oil from the market, purposely driving up prices and CRUCIFYING the American public. Congress has already started hearings to investigate this heinous crime.

Meanwhile, oil industry insiders (including Geo. W Bush) are pushing to open up offshore drilling in the United States. The are promising us that this will lower oil prices, but I disagree. First of all, the US Geological Survey scientists say that the amount of oil and gas available off shore is so small that in most cases the cost of drilling and building wells is more than the value of the resources. Secondly, guess who is going to foot the bill for the offshore exploration and drilling... you guessed it... THE TAXPAYERS, so even if it did drop the price of gas briefly, you would have already more than paid the difference in another way. Thirdly, most of these costal states depend heavily on beach tourism to keep their economies viable, and tourists don't want to look at offshore wells, smell natural gas, or bathe at a beach which has little globs of oil all over the sand. Fourthly, since the price of oil is being artificially inflated by greedy investment banks on Wall Street, slapping them with a big fine and making them release their supplies would be a lot more sensible than selling off the government's emergency oil reserves. And last of all, the USA needs to invest in CLEAN, RENEWABLE ENERGY rather than throw good money after bad by spending money on drilling more oil wells that will run dry within a decade.

You know how they talk about the speculation of Oil futures driving fuel costs so high? I'm sure glad the Clinton administration got rid of the short term capital gains tax so that investors can just bounce around from one industry to the next causing bubble after bubble to make our lives miserable. First Real Estate, now Oil. I wonder what's next. Short term investments are killing industry after industry, and making the day traders (who put nothing into the system) rich. These people are pulling real dollars out of those industries, and we, the people, bear the cost of their investing. When will we put a stop to it?
