I can understand the rich voting for McBush but the people who don't have a pot to piss in or a window to throw it out of that i can't understand.... all they know is FEAR FEAR HATE HATE ????
Ok, people, re: gas prices. I hope you all knew that gas prices went up over 150% between late 2001 and early 2006. Gas prices now have gone up about 70% since the beginning of 2007. Neither are good. But there was a big rise in gas prices before this as well. It is just that, for some reason, $4 has become this sociologically magic number where Armageddon is occurring because the price of gas has hit there.
daffthyd,
Americans knew all they needed to know about George Bush after his first term, and then voted for him again by a lager margin...and look at the state of our country domestically, and our tarnished image worldwide. We're now known as torturers, and murders...sounds a lot like those terrorist that this administration is always trying to scare the American public with. Education obviously doesn't equate with common sense, or George Bush never would have been elected in the first place, and Al Gore would be president. You want to demand answers from Obama, when he has opened up his life to full examination, but demand none from your sitting president about how, and why we were lied into this war with Iraq. A war that has been documented over, and over again to have been waged on a lie. But who cares? The really important question is how could Obama sit in church, and listen to Rev. Wright for 20 yrs. Right?
5interiors5,
I know it's hard for you to believe, and accept, but the majority of Clinton voters are democrats first, and Hillary supporters second. There are a few that will vote for McCain, and some may not vote at all. But if you
really think that 18 million democrats are going to vote republican, because Hillary lost, you really don't grasp the mood of this country. The democratic party hasn't thrown you aside...you've abandonded the democratic party. The rules that they enforced, and then compromised on, are the same rules that were in place when Bill Clinton won 2 terms, when Al Gore lost. And the same rules that Hillary agreed to at the start of her campaign. If you can't grasp the simple truth, that very simple statement of fact, then by all means leave the party. Take your marbles,or in this case your votes, and go home.
I think Obama would be a HUGE mistake for this country. He has more in common with Bush than McCAIN. does. Both say "I'm a uniter" while holding on tight to the extremes of their party. Both niave and both call for change - we are going to have 4 years of nonesense like we saw with Bush. I'm voting for McCAIN and we'll see what happens.
Folks, the only poll that matters is the one on November 4th. Period.
YES we need CHANGE. We need a President who supports Drilling for Oil and Supports NUCLEAR Power. Obama wants to send America BARACKWARDS
No, moron. He wants to invest in energy security with diversification of our energy solutions. He wants to spend big bucks over 10 years to ensure we wean ourselves a bit from hydrocarbons. He understands we can't avoid using nuclear - we have NO CHOICE - but drilling is too little too late by now. Typical of the reactionary morons who have been running our country for the past 8 years. ...
Oil prices have risen from $20/bbl to $140/bbl during the Bush Regime. Why hasn't King George and his daddy and their oil bubba buddies done anything to help America diversify - he has spent a grand total of $18 billion on R&D for energy solutions during the past 8 years. Big whoop, as we say in Texas.
Obama will spend more and he will make things happen - and in so doing will encourage the marketplace to expand energy options and think creatively - innovation and change and growth... not the OLD FART McSAME-OLD APPROACH...
I guess you don???t read Newsweek.
McCain's Power Outage
Contradictions and misstatements short-circuit McCain's energy policy pronouncements.

Yeah, sparky716 - I copy that!
Hey America - Black is the NEW WHITE House! YAY!!!
PS - I'm white. Not that it matters. ;-)
Wow! And you just showed your maturity!
The people who decided to publish this crap are idiots.
They are some of the best reporters in the world, and have more guts than most, to walk into a battle zone armed with a mike!!! Your still RIGHT about this article though!
Anti Nuclear Anti Drilling Anti Coal Anti Shale Oil. Democrats are OPECs best friend
By the way, my energy policy would have the meta title of "Our generation sacrifices for the good of future generations". This means investing as much money as feasibly possible (with higher taxes as part of that money, yes) into weaning from oil to solar and wind (near infinite sources of sustainable energy). I would consider hydrogen and nuclear as part of that plan too. But I would say right now "Today is the day our dependence on oil begins to end. No more drilling. If gas prices go up, so be it. But in 25 years we will not have to answer to anybody regarding energy. And my kids will be better off for it"
No, it is our constant demand for oil that is OPECs best friend. Do you realize that if we as a people took a collective responsibility and initiative to make changes to our own lives, that would go a longer way to a sustainable energy policy than drilling ever would? Personal responsibility, I thought, was a Republican mantra. I hope that just doesn't mean when it doesn't inconvenience you.
I went into a depression when Kerry lost and I realized it would be 4 more years of Bush/Cheney. Here I am....hopeful again with Barack Obama. I respect Mccain. But there is no way he would be a good president. And the age factor is an important issue. Along with my hope for a better future for America with Barack Obama as our president, I'm trying not to fool myself and cut the guy some slack. If the polls are accurate and if he does become president, he will be inheriting the worst mess an incoming president has ever had to deal with.
So what country DOESN'T HAVE propaganda??? What do you call "The War on Terroishm" by Master of Propaganda Bush Jr. (and the "Desert Storm" by his lovely dad)?
The USA is perpetrator of the worst kind of propaganda with the Bushes in contol - fear mongering, sword rattling, "lone star" economics and lots of fuzzy "thinking" that passes for policy. OMG, the propaganda and LIES the Bush team puts out has led to crimes against HUMANITY.
So what if Newsweeks wants to publish a poll favoring Obama? It's not based on lies, there is a methodolgy if you care to study it, and no polls are perfect, nor are they true forever - they're a snapshot in time. Your old fart will probably bounce back soon - if he survives the first few months of the general election given his advanced years. (and thinking).
we are ready for change & Obama is the "One" to give us that change...
the polls dont lie !
Obama 08"
How exactly is he going to provide us with change without turning our country into complete socialism? Free college education? How does he plan to do that? People who want an education have already applied for college loans and loan-forgiveness programs? With intelligence and diligence, ANYONE can receive a college education. Free health care? So glad to know that Joe-Schmoe down the street who doesn't work is entitled to free health care, and I get to work to so he can get that health care. Which are you??? The "I'm ashamed I have money, so let's get it all away" Democrat? or The "I wish I had money. Why don't you give yours to me?" Democrat?
If they had put that he had a 700 point lead you would have believed it.
Newsweek has become the most extreme left wing rag since the Fall of the Soviet Union. Any of you fools ever wonder why Newsweek Polls never match up to anyone elses? Because its PROPAGANDA
YOU READ IT !!!
Obama will be a good President. I hope he stay's in the Whitehouse
for 8 Years. America DOES NOT need another Republican in the
Whitehouse!!
No, we do not NEED Obama in the Whitehouse. He is an abomination.
HolyRoller, I really do hate to say negative things about people personally, because I am all for having people have their own opinions. But come on, show some respect -- stop calling him Hussein; that's being being asinine.
To all you right wing nuts....better learn how to say President Obama....Americans will not vote Hate and Fear this time...they wont CHANGE....Lies Hate fear wont by gas food pay rent Do any of you right wing nuts remember what a barrel of oil cost in 2000 (i'll give you a hint $24.00) and what is the cost now?
