    "Not all Democrats agree with Mr. Frank that such policies are off-limits to criticism. Last week Rep. Artur Davis of Alabama said in a statement: 'Like a lot of my Democratic colleagues I was too slow to appreciate the recklessness of Fannie and Freddie. I defended their efforts to encourage affordable homeownership, when in retrospect, I should have heeded the concerns raised by their regulator in 2004. Frankly, I wish my Democratic colleagues would admit when it comes to Fannie and Freddie, we were wrong.'

    "Mr. Davis is a member of the Congressional Black Caucus."

    'Rank snobbery'

    Camille Paglia, who supports Sen. Barack Obama, has nothing but scorn for the way the media has treated Sarah Palin.

    "The mountain of rubbish poured out about Palin over the past month would rival Everest. What a disgrace for our jabbering army of liberal journalists and commentators, too many of whom behaved like snippy jackasses," Miss Paglia writes at www.salon.com.

    "The bourgeois conventionalism and rank snobbery of these alleged humanitarians stank up the place. As for Palin's brutally edited interviews with Charlie Gibson and that viper, Katie Couric, don't we all know that the best bits ended up on the cutting-room floor? Something has gone seriously wrong with Democratic ideology, which seems to have become a candied set of holier-than-thou bromides attached like tutti-frutti to a quivering green Jell-O mold of adolescent sentimentality."

    The Antichrist!:
    When George Soros failed to obtain the election of his candidate, John Kerry, in 2004, he brooded for a while, even said he might get out of politics altogether, but he just couldn???t stop himself. He has stated publicly that he wishes to burst the ???bubble of American supremacy,??? because he says our preeminence in the world is a detriment to global ???equilibrium.??? So far, he has failed, but he keeps on trying.

    And Mr. Soros has made no secret either of the fact that he sees the shortest way to effect political shake-ups, what he terms ???regime changes,??? is through very difficult economic conditions.

    America has not yet felt the full force of Soros style economic shock treatment. But others have.

    Soros made his first billion in 1992 by shorting the British pound with leveraged billions in financial bets, and became known as the man who broke the Bank of England. He broke it on the backs of hard-working British citizens who immediately saw their homes severely devalued and their life savings cut drastically in comparative worth almost overnight.

    When the Asian Financial Crisis of 1997 threatened to spread globally, George Soros was right in the thick of it. Soros was accused by the Malaysian Prime Minister of causing the collapse with his monetary machinations, and he was branded in Thailand as an ???economic war criminal??? who ???sucks the blood from the people.??? Right in the middle of this crisis, Soros dashed off his book, The Crisis of Global Capitalism, which demanded a ???third way??? toward economic stability.

    Wake up, America, before it is too late!!!!

    The government is spending huge amounts of money for energy programs which have already demonstrated a provable dead-end. Corn-Diesel in small quantities has already proven to drive up food costs on the poor - NEXT. Silicon Solar panels in microscopic quantities have proven to stress the world supply of silicon - NEXT. Nuclear power is so dangerous-no insurance company can or will sufficiently insure it. NEXT.

    We ought to reduce the money spent on dead-ends, and increase the funding for technologies with real prospects. (Wind, Solar Thermal, Geothermal, More trains, Algae etc..)

    I may have missed something, but Obama had already said he would accept trying what he considers the gimmick of more offshore drilling leases (when 80% of current leases are idle) as part of the comprehensive energy plan.

    I admit that Obama hasn't pretended the leases will be anything but a giveaway to oil companies contributing campaign funds, since by the time the gas will be online in seven years prices are sure to have gone up, but he has signed on to the compromise bill. He has faced more than a little criticism over this, both from his base and from McCain, who considers his own flip-flop on drilling leadership because he now is actively for the leases that the oil company lobbyists have given him a million dollars to support.

    McCain has said nothing, again, unless I missed something.

  • Posted By: kenlviste @ 08/13/2008 2:58:24 PM

    Drilling for oil and climate change are the same problem. The 40 billion tons of carbon dioxide we put in the atmosphere each year changes the chemistry amd biology of the air and oceans. The survival of civilization is at stake. In America with 4 per cent of the population we consume 25 per cent of the world's oil production. We have to drastically cut that consumption. Drilling is not solution, it just adds to the problem..

  • Posted By: Nor-Cal for Obama @ 08/08/2008 1:10:58 AM

    Howard, C'mon.....

    In reality, experts--and McCain adviser Douglas Holtz-Eakin--repeatedly acknowledge that it would take 5-10 years for any tangible effects of offshore drilling to take hold; new oil production would only amount to 1 percent (200,000 barrels) of projected US demand when it does become available; and if new oil in 2015 or so could lower the price of gasoline, it would only do so by a few cents.

    So there's no "carrying" over anything until technologies "kick in." Many clean energy technologies are extant, but have limited reach because demand for dirty enery remains so high. And in fact, the "tiding over" could be better accomplished by releasing oil from the US strategic petroleum reserve--not something you want to be doing regularly, but which President Bush did in the wake of Hurricane Katrina, and for which Obama and other Democrats have begun advocating.

    On that note, Joe Romm has an excellent scorecard on Obama's "new" energy plan :

    "This is easily the best energy plan ever put forward by a nominee of either party. By comparison, the plan of John "Nothing but Nukes" McCain is a joke, with nothing on energy efficiency and a pointless $300 million battery prize and long-standing opposition to renewable energy. In contrast, Obama's plan has real depth and breadth...
    As for the test of a candidate's grasp of electricity policy, energy efficiency is obviously The only cheap power left and a limitless resource and THE core climate solution. Obama understands energy efficiency in a way few other major politicians do, as his plan makes clear.

    The real hybrid plan, it seems, backed with the seriousness of purpose to actually get something done, is Obama's. But close enough, Paris.


    • Posted By: expat2000 @ 08/08/2008 1:23:12 AM

      Using Joe Romm as someone keeping a scorecard on whether McCain or Obama is the better candidate is like asking Hershey Co. if they think sugar cookies or chocolate chip cookies are the better choice. Joe Romm is anti-nuclear, so who do you think he's going to back? That much is obvious from his description "Nothing but Nukes"

      I detect a slight hint of bias...

      • Posted By: Nor-Cal for Obama @ 08/08/2008 3:28:47 PM

        Perhaps being anti-nuclear, and it's bias from someone who worked in the dept. of energy ; should alarm some of us.

        • Posted By: expat2000 @ 08/12/2008 11:07:38 PM

          The real issue with nuclear energy is the byproduct (waste) and what to do with it. Solve that problem and it becomes the most efficient, cleanest form of energy. I would resist going down this path until the waste solution becomes viable, but that's another topic. The point I was making is not to quote a biased person as being able to provide an unbiased position on a topic.

      While Obama was recovering from the Primaries, McCain had his energy plan established. He made use of that time period when Obama was preoccupied. McCains energy plan is called the Lexington Project which he established back in June, which Obama has slowly been flopping into it.


      JOHN MCCAINS LEXINGTON PROJECT.

      Highlights of McCains Energy Plan:

      * Expanding Domestic Oil And Natural Gas Exploration And Production

      * Taking Action Now To Break Our Dependency On Foreign Oil By Reforming Our Transportation Sector

      * Investing In Clean, Alternative Sources Of Energy

      * Protecting Our Environment And Addressing Climate Change: A Sound Energy

      * Strategy Must Include A Solid Environmental Foundation

      * Promoting Energy Efficiency.

      *Addressing Speculative Pricing Of Oil

      why spew out statements which have no basis in fact ? where are your sources?

      • Posted By: Nor-Cal for Obama @ 08/08/2008 3:26:58 PM

        Typical response from someone on the right who is defeated by points. Sources? Do you even know who Joe Romm is ? He worked in the dept. of energy.

        What a tool you rights are. So uneducated.

  • Posted By: Cloudosmoke @ 08/08/2008 10:58:59 AM

    This is what supporters of the McCain campaign are looking for. A man that has perpetuated job losses and accepts foreign campaign contributions, which is illegal, to which McCain is also a co-sponsor of the campaign finance reform law. McCain is a crook. No straight talk comes from a crooked person. He is full of hot air. Youse GOP'ers need to stay on the porch for the upcoming season.

    • Posted By: expat2000 @ 08/12/2008 10:49:38 PM

      Accepted foreign campaign contributions? From where? What is your source?
