Fellas,

I think that's just a function of message boards or email. I am hardly thrilled with the Dems. Pelosi and Reid have been terrible leaders. Congress just passed the FISA bill and funded the war in Iraq (the occupation of Iraq, with "emergency funding", not in the budget). They gave in to the weakest president we've had in my lifetime. Makes no sense. The 6th year of a war, a foreign occupation of another country, is hardly an EMERGENCY!

No, I am no fan of the Dems, but true, they do have my vote. Why? Because there is no hope with the Republican party. They are owned by the oil companies and big insurance, pharmaceuticals, and so forth. Lobbyists. Multinational corporations.

Voting for McCain is voting for McSame. No end to the occupation of Iraq. My America doesn't believe in having an oil colony.

The only hope for America is that it vote Democratic, Obama gets in, AND enough Dems are elected in Congress so real change can be made. Colorado is a key state. Bob Schaeffer is owned by big oil. Udall needs to win that Senate seat.

What's the price of gas today? $3.92 at my station. No justification for it. All because of oil speculation on Wall Street. This won't change if McCain gets in. And drilling isn't the answer. It's not a supply and demand issue.

The only ones who benefitted by Bush's war of choice in Iraq were the big oil companies, and those who have stock in oil, and oil speculators, and war profiteers like Halliburton. The American public is much worse off now, than we were 8 years ago. To keep voting Republican, rewarding them, would be the definition of insanity.
