McCain Ad a Full Tank of Nonsense

mcnasty is a fool drilling will not solve anything except make the oil companys richer and california poorer.

Ms Novak, with all due respect, your analysis is lame. It is absolutely true that gas prices are rising due to a decrease in supplies. Of the two candidates, McCain is pushing for opening up new drilling to increase oil supply. The price of oil on the open market would drop immediately if America decided to drill. I conceed that we don't know how much it would drop or for how long. But the point is this: one candidate is pushing for opening up more oil supplies, and one candidate wants us to tune our car and fill our tires. Your assertion that McCain is blaming Obama solely for this predicament is specious. You should get out of the fact checking business and start campaigning hoestly for Obama.

Planet is in Peril. Ice bergs are melting. Polar bears have reached the endangered species list. Water levels are rising. Weather storms and natural disasters are happening with frequency. Our atmostphere is being destroyed and we are the ones who have destroyed it.

So what is John McCains response to this global catastrophy? "Lets dig for more oil"
What will it take for stubborn politicians to WAKE UP and realize that the US MUST be responsible and work toward terminating our reliance on oil for energy. We don't have a choice any more. We must ACT NOW.
This idea of DIGGING for MORE oil is an absolute DISGRACE and IRRESPONSIBLE!

No single American president has had all the experience to be president during their first term or even in their second term.. The difference between them is their sense of judgement and who they chose as their advisors. In this reagard Obama is far ahead of McCain.

McCain said America has succeeded in Iraq because of the surge. Well was the surge the reason for us to go to Iraq to loose over 4000 men and women in iniform? McCain should tell us why he voted for the war and define the meaning of success in Iraq. Al Queda is still strong. Does this translate as a success?

McCain is confused. I think he is too old.

What exactly is a "neoliberal" Jill from Florida? I would be interested in hearing your explanation of what i am supposed to be. I don't remember any old school liberals that have abandoned their party because of any new ideals. However i do remember Barry Goldwater's son mentioning recently that his father would have had absolutely nothing to do with modern neocons and the Republican party. Fascist sycophantic schill!

Uncertainty causes huge price swings in commodity markets. WAR causes uncertainty. Bush's Iraq war is the main reason for escalating oil prices. BLAME BUSH! He started this war that has no purpose other than to protect Israel. We're paying for the war...1 trillion and counting...and we're paying higher gas prices because of the war...thanks W.

I can't help but laugh at how Newsweek reacts every time their canidate is exposed. I've seen the ad, and the point is not to lay the entire situation at Obama's feet, but to point out the difference of opinion between the two canidates. One is for drilling here at home, the other is against it. How one is for lifting the federal tax on gas, while the other isn't.

What I find funny is how people think one or the other of these two will make any difference. I see them both as the same. One is full of donkey dung and the other full of elephant dung............and so many Americans seem excited to be covered with one or the other.

I see higher gas prices as a blessing myself. I recently got the best deal I've ever gotten on a full size SUV, because I can afford the gas for it and car dealers are desperate to get rid of them.

So face the facts, it really doesn't matter which of these two gets elected. They are both going to continue to rob us blind with taxes and support their particular party's agenda. So the real question is, do you want to be buried in donkey dung, or elephant dung. Either way it's a smelly situation and a sad day in American politics!

Isn't the key phrase "no end in sight..."???

And doesn't the "some" who are blocking the vote on lifting the ban include Obama?

The threat of increased production here should help bring oil prices down, or at least help stabilize them.

I think that the people behind McCain campaign is as ignorant as he is Obama has nothing to do with high gas prices thats ridiculous and proves the desperation of McCain and his entire bunch of idiots because they know they will loose this election WE NEED CHANGE

McCain is wrong. Obama hasn't done anything, and he didn't cause gas prices to go up. Period. Obama is smoke and mirrors and is clearly not influentual enough to cause gas prices to go up. He can't even get 50% of his party to vote for him. He's the media darling who's done no wrong and no right. He's done nothing.

Well said Captain. In-fighting just helps our adversaries. It pits us one against another and tells the world we are one nation divided not united. Let's stop the bickering...no matter who wins in November.

people, people, people.... Let's all calm down. Put yourself in their shoes. I'm sure everyone involved is trying to do the right thing for ALL of us. But things are never as easy as 'All ya Gotta Do'. These issues are complex and deeply entrenched in the fabric of our culture, our infrastructure and our expectations. Inflation is never welcome, but is inevitable. Perhaps a better course would be a cooperative dialog to an achievable end. Like conserving coupled with exploration, Alternative fuel develoment with better fuel economy. Better paying jobs with cost cutting iniatives. Sniping at each other will not solve our problems or move us in a positive direction. It simply brings out the worst in all of us. Let band together and watch each others back. Lets make a little room in our minds for another viewpoint. Let's support our country and it's leaders because they are doing the best job they can within the realities that exist. Want a stronger america, buy what your neighbor builds, Stop buying 'CHINA' and stop thinking it's all about you. It's all about US. JFK said it best. 'Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country' I'll start, will you?
