As for you, mccainsupporter, you keep saying bullshit that's already been proven false. Obama is open to the idea of offshore drilling as long as it is part of a bigger energy plan because he know offshore drilling won't solve our energy crisis or do little about our energy crisis in the long run. He knows the energy crisis is now, and that we won't even see the oil from offshore drilling for five years. Offshore drilling will not make us energy dependant and it will do little to help in the long run. I mean it's like saying properly inflating our tires will make us energy dependant. Because if everyone properly inflated their tires, we would save 1.2 million gallons of gas per day. By 2020, offshore drilling will only produce 800,000 gallons of gas per day. So good luck with your energy plan, idiot. By the way, if you're trying to be specific, it's 28% greater than our land area. The proposals of John Mccain will help us achieve energy independance by depending on a nonrenewable resource that we won't even see for five years that will do little to anything to help us in the long run and get us less gas than we would save by properly inflating our tires and that will further pollute the environment. Good Plan!

Announcement of major US offshore production will have a dramatic immediate effect on oil prices. Oil prices are about future expectations, what is going to happen in the future. Slightly more than a month ago, President Bush symbolically lifted the executive order on offshore production. Congress also had to act for it to really go into effect because Congress had also passed a ban on US offshore production. Since the announcement by Bush and the Republican led push by John McCain to champion offshore drilling the price of oil has fallen twenty-one dollars from $146 to $115 a barrel. The price of oil is about future expectations. Under John McCain we will have lots of oil and it will be soon and not in five years. There are huge deposits of oil off our East Coast.
Under the theory of plate tectonics and continental drift, 300 million years ago when oil was formed all of the continents were one supercontinent called Pangea. The continents then drifted apart. The Africa coast was right up against North Carolina 300 million years ago. Half of Nigeria???s oil production today is now offshore and the odds of large offshore deposits off our east coast are very strong. There are also huge oil deposits off of the east coast of Brazil. Brazil has tied up almost all of the world ocean drilling ships in the hopes of developing those deposits. Given there is confirmed oil off of Brazil, likely oil off the Southern US east coast and there is confirmed large deposits south of Newfoundland then it is likely there is oil all up and down the entire United States east coast. The United States has the world???s largest coastline and it is simple common sense to make use of those offshore resources to achieve our energy independence. John McCain energy proposals will bring about this development that we so desperately need.-

Obama is a potential process President who does not cater to his base. If that were the case why has Barack Obama not abandoned and thrown his environmental and Mercedes Benz limousine liberal allies under the bus in order to truly help the average American fill their gas tank. Obama and the Democrats want to kill the United States auto industry just like they have killed the United States nuclear industry and United States owned oil industry and ship building industry in the past. Despite leading the world with having built the first civilian commercial reactor in Shippensport Pennsylvania, there has not been a single new nuclear power plant built in the United States in the last thirty years. Now, France generates eighty percent of its electricity from nuclear energy while the United States on generates twenty percent of its electricity from nuclear energy. Obama wants to study the nuclear waste disposal issue for another thirty years. It is no accident that the largest US builder of nuclear power plants, Westinghouse Nuclear Power Construction Division was bought out by Toshiba Corporation of Japan. While 80 percent of the electricity of the country of France is generated by nuclear power, only twenty percent in the US is generated due to the successful efforts of Democratic party to kill the US nuclear power industry. Significantly, nuclear power is not considered a mainstay of Democratic plans to address our energy crisis.There is also a worldwide shortage and backlog of orders for oil drilling platforms and oil drilling ships but US shipyards are not building these ships. Only one percent of the world's commercial ships are built in US shipyards. Hold your breath for the Democratic outcry and push for government help to US ship builders to build oil drilling ships in the US. Democratic disdain for energy production by US companies is evident with the current ownership of former US energy companies. Is it any surprise that the American jewell Arco Oil Company which owned 80 percent of our Alaska Oil Reserves was bought out by British Petroleum Corporation at the end of the second administration of Bill Clinton due to the hostile Democratic attitude toward American owned energy companies. The centerpiece of the energy proposals of Obama is increased fuel efficiency. Obama knows that American auto companies are at a disadvantage compared to Japan to bring online more fuel efficient automobiles. Obama knows that his proposals will cost more United States auto jobs in Detroit due to the loss of business to Japanese auto manufacturers. Obama and the Democrats are clearly catering to their base in trying to kill the United States auto industry just as they have killed the United States Nuclear Power industry and United States owned oil industry.

No, you just look at oil and nuclear power as a renewable energy resource that doesn't damage the environment and can run America through the rest of time. Unlike you, Obama looks at the future, at renewable energy resources that don't damage the environment and can last us a long time and never run out. But your right, all cars run on oil, I mean it's not like there's cars that are coming out that can run on electricity or will be able to run on fuel cells or will be able to use solar power to recharge the battery or anything, oh wait, there is. I mean, it's not like Obama's plan would be to outfit these autocompanies to put these types of cars into mass production, oh wait, it is. I mean, everyone knows all democrats drive hummers and limos and all republicans drive preis's, wait, was that a republican getting out of his own limo, wait, is that a republican getting out of a hummer, oh no. We were all wrong, everything you said wrong and fabricated lies. Oh, the humanity, mccain supporter, how could you. LOL

Are you stupid, he's not Muslim, how many times does someone have to say he's not Muslim to convince you he's not Muslim. The only reason Muslim is looked on as a bad word is because stupid people like you associate Muslim with bad, and terrorist. He's already been proven that he's not Muslim you idiot, but what would be so bad about having a Muslim president in the first place. It's not like a Muslim president is going to start a nuclear war, or bomb America or some other bullshit. Just because a president is Jewish doesn't mean that he's going to do anything bad. As long as you don't come from a satanic cult or anything, why should religion matter in the first place. Religion doesn't make presidents do good or bad, presidents do good or bad.

ANOTHER new book about Barack Obama was released this week.
BOOK called:
The Case Against Barack Obama: The Unlikely Rise and Unexamined Agenda of the Medias Favorite Candidate
by David Freddoso (Hardcover - Aug 4, 2008)
Has any major candidate for president of the United States ever received less
critical examination than Barack Obama? Who is this man, who was only elected to the U.S. Senate in 2004? How did someone with his meager record of accomplishment become the Democratic nominee for president? How did someone with the most liberal voting record in the U.S. Senate and long-standing relationships with a former terrorist, a racist minister, and the corrupt operators of Chicago Machine politics end up as a supposed beacon of a newer, cleaner, bipartisan politics? Investigative reporter David Freddoso has the answers. Doing the legwork that the mainstream media has neglected, applying a critical eye while the media swoons before the Obama-messiah, and posing the hard questions that Obama needs to answer, Freddoso reveals a politician as calculating as any other, a far-left Democrat who goes beyond ABORTION RIGHTS to supporting de facto infanticide, whose NEW POLITICS amount to Chicago-style hardball overlain with lofty rhetoric, and who, from his positions of power, has helped his patrons.
In The Case Against Barack Obama, you will learn:
* How Barack Obama opposed a bill banning infanticide - by - neglect -a stance too extreme even for Nancy Pelosi. (Freddoso has an exclusive interview with the nurse central to the case.)
* How Obamas friendship with the Reverend Jeremiah Wright was no accident, but a carefully thought-out personal and political decision
* Why Obama thought his association with the Reverend Wright and the terrorist Bill Ayers would not matter - an exposé of the insular radical chic of Chicagos Hyde Park politics
* What Obama REALLY did for convicted developer Tony Rezko
* Debunking the myth of Obamas NEW politics: the forgotten tale of how Obama won his first election by throwing all of his competitors off the ballot
* A story Obama would like to stay buried in Chicago: How he used his clout as a U.S. Senator to save the corrupt Cook County Political Machine when reformers of both parties tried to challenge the entrenched political bosses
* How Obama has repeatedly steered taxpayer money to campaign donors
Sober, fair, and thoroughly researched - and all the more powerful and provocative because of it - The Case Against Barack Obama REMOVES THE HALO from a man less qualified, and more radical, than the mainstream media has let you know.

yeah right. and how long has the media known about Edwards? And why did it come out now? Obama's hiding out in Hawaii to see his typical white woman grandmother. But he did say that Edwards won't be going to the Convention. Guess he just needed Edwards to get a little boost after Sen Clinton smashed him by 40 in WV. How soon before we hear Obama's familiar refrain: 'That's not the John Edwards I knew."? Like it wasn't Wright wasn't the man he knew and Rezko wasn't the man he knew...20 years and he can't tell a man's character? And yet he wants voters to vote for him because of his good judgment?

Posted By: Notrepublican @ 08/09/2008 3:42:13 AM
One, I'm sure if a book was written on Mccains life, he could probably be made to look bad too. AS for th Edwards things, everyone has skeletons in their closet, everyone, including John Mccain and his friends. I'm sure if they came out, you would view Mccain a little differently as well. As for the Wright thing, do you expect he just preached his opinons. He was a reverand, he preached the bible for 20 years. And I'm not sure a typical friendly talk with Wright would be: "Hey Wright" ....."Hey, did you know that the government invented aides"..."Yep, have a good one"...."you too". You know how ridiculous that sounds. May I also point out the fact that I have plenty of stupid friends myself, who've I've been friends with for years and years. It doesn't mean I support their ideas or opinions or am stupid or crazy because of hanging out with them. I mean, that's just ridiculous. Who hasn't had a stupid friends or one that was just a little off his rocker, I mean really.Also, that's not Obama's familiar refrain, your just lieng. Just because one of my friends says or does something stupid doesn't mean I'm going to deny any and all association with them. Well, I mean, it would have to depend on how stupid it was.

And let's admit it, you never considered looking for one, your mind was already made up. Yet when we have an objective opinion you now care? You certainly are NOT a republican. They/we live in reality and dont contradict ourselves in the same paragraph.

If it was of any substance? You are kidd'n me, right? Between George Soros (moveon.org) and Rupert Murdoch (billionaire who owns a good portion of MainStreamMedia communications sources, newspapers, radio stations, internet communications, etc.) he has been bought and protected from thoroughly being vetted. We only know surfacely his involvement in relationships with controversial people as the media protects him, especially in the primaries. Barack Obama has acknowledge his relationships with a huge list of savory people, but the media has not explored in depth whether what he says is true to the degree he states it. Many of his list of friends, associates, fellow peers, pastors, spiritual mentor and advisors, and so on he has admitted to have interacted with in one way or another (surfacely), but not in depth. Thus the need for a book to be written to flesh out Obamas life (in more detail) so we get to know the real Obama based on facts and supporting references to followup with. Ultimately, it is left to the readers disccretion as to whether they learn more and feel more comfortable in just knowing more about him. Or not.

Posted By: sharenews @ 08/09/2008 3:18:31 AM
True. Like I say, it is all left up to the readers as to what they take out of the reading of this book or not. I am hearing that THE OBAMA NATION is the book to read if one wants a true account compared to this book above. I dont know. Just tooting the availability of these books to read to learn more. At least it is a more fleshed out account of Obama (in either books) about his life that lets the readers make their decision as to their vote for Obama or not after knowing more about him.-

But now you're getting more dirty and negativ and starting to express fact with opinion which may be true or untrue. What I'm saying is, I at least partially trusted you and respected you in the beggining, but you've gotten far out of hand and now you've lost both my respect and trust. I geuss we won't have that debate afterall.

Posted By: sharenews @ 08/09/2008 3:38:23 AM
Well I dont get where you are saying I am being slanderous as I did not write the book I mention above, nor the other book the OBAMA NATION by Dr. Jerome Corsi Ive mentioned being available to readers now at Amazon and Barnes and Noble in my blogs on this site. What I did do consciously, though, is to make sure that all undecided voters are aware that there are sources for them to explore to hear more about Obama and his life leading up to where he is now(given the MainStreamMedia is not doing their job and doing us citizens a great disservice). I did not write the synopsis about this book. I am just posting the information available for those who want to learn more about this book or the even more popular book The Obama Nation by Dr. Jermome Corsi, Ph.d. in these blogs. I leave it up to the people I inform about the availability of these books to purchase and read or not to make an assessment that helps them make a voter decision or not based on additional information is true or not and impacts there vote afterwards. I say this as there is a great injustice to having the mainstreammedia totally picking and choosing what they will talk about or not to vet this guy or not (especially given Obama has billionaires like Media Mogul Rupert Murdoch, who owns dozens of newspapers, radiostations, websites, magazines, etc. and George Soros who helped kick of and supports moveon.org) on his side blocking true vetting of this dem. candidate like all other candidates in the past. If you still dont want to debate, that is fine.But I do believe in what I do. That there is so much more to Obama that people need to know about that unfortunately between the DNC and the MSM never came out fully in the Primaries. Maybe these books and the vetting of Obama after the convention will make people aware of who this candidate is truly made of and how he became to become the man he is today.-
Posted By: Notrepublican @ 08/09/2008 3:49:08 AM
No, it doesn't have to do with the book. You had nothing to do with the book. But your latest comments have gone really low. Like the one where you said Obama's in love with himself, or your recent comment about his meager accomplishements, and many other comments that seem overcritical and start to show more opinion than fact. At least in my mind, you seemed different at the beggining when I first looked at your comments, but now your seem overly negative and opinionated than you were before.

I'm not sure if you're meaning to be too negative or what. I mean, I've been negative too at points, but I try to keep it respectful, and at points, it seems like you do too. But over the past two days, you had a negative streak, along with some comments that seem purely fabricated, that spoke badly with me. And it's made me lose some respect as well as trust. At least when I made mistakes, I admitted them and said sorry.

The allegedly cool cerebral process style of Obama does not apply to his pandering to his Democratic base on the energy issue. Democrats under the leadership of Barack Obama want to effectively give away in trust our offshore exclusive economic zone by standing in the way of any current offshore development.
Under the 1982 United Nations Law of the Seas Convention the US has an exclusive economic zone of 200 nautical miles and mineral seabed rights up to 350 nautical miles extending along the Continental shelf. A nautical mile is 6080 feet so our exclusive economic zone extends about 240 miles and mineral seabed rights extend 420 miles. The US has the world's largest offshore exclusive economic zone totaling 4.4 million square miles. In comparison, the total land area of the United States is only 3.4 million square miles.
On the East coast alone, if you drive from Key West Florida to Bangor Maine it is 2000 miles. Multiply the 2000 miles by mineral seabed rights extending out 420 miles results in a total of 840,000 square miles of ocean acreage. Because we have the world's largest offshore coastline which is twenty-five percent greater than our land area, it only makes common sense that we exploit our offshore resources to achieve our energy independence. The proposals of John McCain on energy will help us achieve our energy independence.

Their nasty, gloating, arrogant remarks are the most divisive, hurtful, partisan, intolerant, bigoted comments I???ve ever read. Instead of symbolizing the ???unity and hope???

First of all, we didn't vote-in George Bush. The majority of us didn't fall for a "C" student who bases his decisions on his gut or asking WWJD. 48% of the population voted for Bush, but 5 Supreme Court Justices appointed him president. As for Obama, the decision to stop dying his hair so it would go grey and he would appear older, wiser and more experienced is exactly what's wrong with his candidacy and campaign - Obama is all cosmetic and instant gratification with no true substance. "COOL AND CEREBRAL" IS JUST A CATCH PHASE FOR SOMEONE WHO NEEDS AN EXTRA FEW SECONDS TO THINK UP A BIG OLE BATCH OF STEAMING B.S.

Unfortunately, based on the comments lately on most of the Newsweek blogs, the American electorate likes the bipartisan bickering, and we just can't seem to get enough.
The truth is, Americans don't go for cool and cerebral, or we would have had Gore instead of Bush. We like our presidents to keep our emotions stirred up, and we love the blaming and finger pointing - its our national pasttime. We like it so much that when the politicians aren't providing us with enough emotionally hyped fodder, we go after the media, and then each other.
And quoting a university professor who thinks he can only teach search and seizure to people who have been searched and seized, a condescending statement to be sure, doesn't help make the argument that we need cool and cerebral.
At this point, it doesn't much matter who we elect in November - the other side won't let up with the poisonous attacks, we won't just "get along" and we will continue to sow the seeds that will lead to the next American Civil War.
The last Civil War - which was anything but civil - happened because the rhetoric on both sides got progressively nastier and extreme. Neither side could give in, and we ended up killing each other over it, in huge numbers.
The next Civil War will be much worse.
We could stop it now, before we all end up dead, but we are having too much fun.
We don't want a president who can unite us - we want a president that can keep us apart. Just ask the Newsweek bloggers; they'll be glad to tell you.

What a concept, that is electing a person who can think/rationalize!!! If only America had made that choice back in 2000....Oops, my bad America did!!!...I have nothing against McCain, and note that he is a patriot, that cannot and must not ever be taken away from a man of such courage, but no one thaing that a person does merits them being given the presidency...More than likely, this election will hinge on the three upcoming debates...Obama will have to straddle the fence between Messiah, Thinker, and friend in such a way as to not appear threatening to white America...Funny thing is, is that in most people's eyes, Obama is African-American...After he's elected those same people will remember that he's half and half and that's where they will find comfort and justification in his victory!!!...WBBJ!!!

.....................................It will be good to have a cerebral President like Obama, we need to have a leader that people can respect after eight years of the dunce George Bush that grabbed power ty treachery and who has bungled severly with almost all he has done. Old John McCain is a slow thinker is the guy that has been behind Bush wants to put into office to carry on the failing philosophy. McCain now is busy being coached to look like someone that is different than the dullard agent of the selfish interests that he is representing.

National Enquirer trumps MSM...over and over and over. I am hearing rumors, they are hooked up with Larry Sinclair. Wouldn't that be a shocker!!!!
No wonder Hussein went to Hawaii. He needs some advice from PELE. Can't go to Mecca. People might notice.....then again, there is that birth certificate confusion to deal with.

How could he be so funking selfish? OMG, and think about his children....He's an uncaring, egotistical pr1ck!?! I'm so pi$$ed at him.
Sorry love, just venting.-

Do you have the same disdain for Congressman Foley REPUBLICAN PEDOPHILE or Larry Craig REPUBLICAN GAY PUBLIC BATHROOM TROLLER? How about your hero John McCain cheating on Cindy with a lobbist and he also ran out on his sick wife to hook up with Cindy the beer Queen.Do come into the kitchen if you can't take the heat. do you think McCain will speak at the Republican convention?

You do know that Carol McCain has said that there were problems they had prior to McCain meeting up with Cindy McCain. Carol and John were already on the verge of divorce when he met Carol. Divorce is never a desired option for anyone, but if the McCains both are okay with the outcome of it all and Carol is even still supporting McCain (mind, you, 30 years later since all that past stuff happened) who are we to say. But then, to keep harping on a 30 yr old story makes for a juicy story, even though in this day and age over 50% of marriages end up in divorce. Hey, who knows what will happen in Obama marriage given they have not been not married that long (what 13 or less yrs? ) . Plus he has the personality of a person who over time has the potential of repeating this type of action like others in history who prior to running for President - or during a Presidency - also experienced such an event like divorce or even worse, babies out of wedlock). Do a google of US Presidents who have had adultery prior or during being in the White House and add in another google of those that had children out of wedlock you will be surprised as to how many Presidents have been guilty of such pasts. There is a pattern when you google back in history about the nature of the President at hand, how arrogant, pompous they are and other characteristics that lend itself to a politician or pre-President or during Oval Office President of indulging into adulterous affairs.

Hell yes I have disdain for them as well!
As for Big Mac , he admits what he did (ALMOST 30 YEARS AGO) was his fault and was wrong. (And it didn't take National Enquirer for him to admit his transgressions!) His ex-wife and him remain very close and she FIRMLY supports his bid for the presidency.
As for standing the heat-BRING IT ON!
P.S. I'd take a BIG MAC over a whopper Jr. any day !!!!!!!! lmfao ; )

So much for Edwards chance for veep. Makes you wonder though...did Obama and the DNC already know about this? I'm willing to wager that they did. They didn't care though-anything to garner more of the Southern vote. Oh well, the O-team can't have everything. But we can! Cause come Nov.4th O-man loses!

This whole scandal is terrible if proven to be the case. I feel so bad for his wife who has been so supportive of him thru his candidancies for VP in the past and Prez. Very sad if it turns out to be true.
From what I have heard, the DNC has said that if they do not get an explanation that???s satisfactory, acceptable, and meets high moral standards, the answer will be 'no,' as to whether John Edwards would make a major address at the convention.
Edward's own former strategist says:
John Edwards absolutely does have to (resolve it). If it's not true, he has to issue a stronger denial. It's a very damaging thing. The big media has tried to be responsible and handle this with kid gloves, but it's clearly getting ready to bust out. If it's not true, he's got to stand up and say, "This is not true. That is not my child and I'm going to take legal action against the people who are spreading these lies." It's not enough to say, "That???s tabloid trash."

ELEANOR CLIFT: Where is your disclaimer as a journalist that you are an Obama supporter? And why do you talk about Obama like you know him? You haven't a clue. "Beating Hillary is what credentialed him, not his legislative record or his years as a community organizer or even his rhetorical gifts." This is absolutely crazy. He was credentialed? By whom? The MSM who are his free advertising? What did he do during his "years as a community organizer"? Again, you have no clue. "Rhetorical gifts"? Why wouldn't he speak at a townhall meeting where folks can look him in the eye? He wasn't very oratorical during the last debate and his rhetoric revolved around "uh". And "changing the way Washington works"? What planet are you on? He's going Chicago style. Do you know what that means? Of course not.
Are you a political reporter, reporter of any sort or just an enthralled teenager?

Yes, Eleanor we have all read Plato's Republic. You think Obama will be a Philosopher King. But go back and re-read your Machiavelli and your Nietzsche and then tell me whether you still think that we should want an egg-head as a President.

Well you are extending quite the compliment to John McCain (chuckle) . I say this cuz with the assassination of President McKinley, Theodore Roosevelt, not quite 43 at the time, became the youngest President in the Nation's history. Or maybe a dissing of Teddy who back then looked like a man of 72. LMAO. : - )
