Don’t Laugh. Paris Is Right.

Is it not embarassing that Paris Hilton, of all people, can conclude that we need a huge bipartisan effort to solve our energy problem while both political parties, but especially the Democrats, sit on their fat partisan behinds and refuse to do anything. Wow! I thought I'd never say this, but maybe Paris Hilton should run for President. It just goes to show that a playgirl millionaire has more integrity than a politician in either party.

John McCain's backers can't afford for the war to end; they're making billions off of their no contract bids to the military. Money that seems to find it's way into John McCain's war chest.

How is it that a handful of boobs in Washington are holding millions of Americans hostage while they angle for re-election. They are so disconnected from you and me in that their health care is paid for, FOREEVER. They get a pension FOREEVER for a couple years of service. They vote themselves pay raises whenever convenient. Anyone of them who is not in favor of exhausting all the possibilities should be fired at election time. Mr. Obama, please tell me how a pressure gauge is going to provide the petroleum that is used in manufacturing of millions of products. He should check his pressure, I think you're running on fumes. Forget Republicans and Democrats. Stop thinking that you are rooting for your favorite team to win, this isn't Monday night football. We are on the brink of becoming a hostage to foreign countries and ideologies. And as these foreign interests milk us of our financial interests through the purchase of THEIR oil, they will then be back to buy the hard assets of the United States for pennies on the dollar. Won't be long before we are taken down. Russia, Venezuala and others are watching Rome burn as Caesar fiddles.

Im sorry are we serious here? It doesnt matter who you choose or what side you are on with this. BOTH parties have not given a iota of real concern on this subject for decades. Its only now that we are being choked to death at the pumps that anyone even cares to see it as a problem. But do you see a single senator or congressman/woman giving up their 6 figure retirement bonuses we are paying for? Do we really need to send more people into space or even bother to explore up there at all? I mean we cant even teach our nations children how to read but hey we can spend millions to FUEL a shuttle into orbit. Fact is this... No one is really going to care until it truly effects them or their own. And right now most if not all of the people who are in charge of finding the solutions in this, or writing the bills or laws on it are getting too rich one way or the other to care about the little people who depend on them. I dont care about the sides or the the this and thats we give titles to for this crapola. We are ALL in the country and this is so much bigger that just some choice we have for the next 4 years... this is the future of our great nation and its going to crumble even further because we are too busy driving the carrige with the blinders on. For the love of whatever god or goddess you may hold holy... Stop seperating our country and find a solution for all of us for a change.... It would be a nice sign that things might be going the right direction for once.

You can voice your disgust with the handful of boobs by supporting a 3rd party candidate, such as Ralph Nader, Cynthia McKinney, or Bob Barr.! They should definitely be allowed into the debates so that both Obama and McCain are forced to take clear positions on energy, among many others. visit www.votepact.org

I find it discusting that millions of Americans are held hostage by a handful of boobs in Washington. We should FIRE the whole lot and start over.

Excuse me, but McCain has clearly, consistently and correctly advocated an all hands on deck approach. Drill now, to alleviate prices as much as we can, (if nothing else it sends a strong signal to speculators which the Dems have been blaming for months), invest in research and development of wind, geothermal and solar technologies as well as expand Nuclear power, our electrical system, etc, etc. It is only Obama who is taking a piece-meal approach. Please give McCain credit for the wisdom and judgement to not only see the issue first, to speak out about it before it was popular, but also for having the correct approach that you call for in this article. McCain is the real deal.

Why do liberals like you in the media have to lie about the republican positions on issues, it's only Obama who is being an ideologue on the energy issue, I've heard McCain say numerous times that he is for everything and above on energy, drilling off shore, nuclear, investing in renewable energy, a battery, electric car, there has been no area where McCain has said he would not go for getting more energy, except in Alaska's Anwar, Obama on the other-hand is too tied to the ' Greens" to say he's for off shore drilling, nuclear, natural gas exploration, Oh another area where Obama uses political expectancy for policy , ethanol , where McCain is for taking away the hugh subsidies and the tariffs on foreign ethanol ( like from Brazil where they use sugar ethanol) that are driving up the price of food, Obama is all for the subsidies which is also why he voted for the pork - barrel ladened Farm Bill and why he won Iowa in the primary. Where McCain voted against the Farm Bill and the 2005 Energy Bill which instead of being a giveaway to farmers was a giveaway to oil companies, Obama "the reformer" voted for both those bills. It's quite obvious that one candidate stands on principles and doing what's right and Obama just wants to get elected.

We should definitely try everything. First and foremost is a long hard look in the mirror and the realization that we need to change our pathetic, lazy, and selfish lifestyles. Once we do that, then we can deal with what shall remain of our energy problem. No amount of ingenuity and technology will be able to overcome our sloth and greed!

We should definitely be open to everything. First and foremost, taking a long hard look in the mirror and then deciding to adjust our incredibly pathetic, lazy, and selfish lifestyle. Then, and only then, we will be able to actually attempt to solve what will remain of our energy problem. Because, no ammount of ingenuity and technology will be able to cure our sloth and greed.

Re: "let's just try everything!" except apparently the most important unmentionable measure.

Border enforcement and an immigration moratorium, giving us some hope of someday leveling off our staggering population growth, would be the single most important measure we could take to bring long-term resources shortages and pollution longages under control.

Paris Hilton is the perfect VEEP for Barky Obama, stylishly reading lines their thinkers feed to them. Obama - Hilton is the dream ticket, no substance to get in the way of all that style.

I'm really tired of McCain whining about congress. He's a member of congress...where's he been? NOT VOTING FOR ANYTHING!!!!!

hey, here's a thought. forget obama, mccain, hillary, and whomever. Just get congress to come back in session, amend the constituion, and allow bush to serve another 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc. term----problem solved and we can all shut up. trust me, our stupid congress could probably pull it off. See----I can be silly too.
