Are you saying that the Dems aren't owned by Lobbyist? The Clintons are as corrupt as they come, and with Obama, the name Rezko should ring a bell. To say the Dems aren't owned by lobbist is Kool-aide drinking if I ever saw it. They are only owned by lobbist most other lefties agree with, PETA, Moveon, etc.

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

McCain was at one point in his career considering switching the Democratic party... so there is hope. Of the Republican nominations he's the one I liked the most, I have yet to see a solid example of how Bush's policies would continue under McCain. Oh and Newman this isn't just your America, its everyones. I take a big offense to your closed minded view points. However I agree with your premise that Iraq doesn't need to be America's oil whore... the future is in the development of renewable energy, but its a long process and it doesn't happen overnight.

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.

This is by far the dumbest thing you have said. Drilling isn't the Answer??? this isn't a supply and demand issue??? Do you have any grasp on basic economics. Do you know what countries like China and India are doing the oil prices? If we do drill and increase the supply, prices will have to go down, and while its a short term solution, its one that must be considered if we are tired of $4 gas.

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.

Oh, I would say there have been more who have benefited... like the countless number of Iraqi citizens who under Sadaam would've been killed...


Can we also have enough of this evil oil company crap??? Forbes recently published an article (of course Forbes might not be one of your reading materials because its a little to the right of the tub of lard blow hard Michael Moore) That said on average Oil Companies make 9.1 cents on every gallon. Compared to soft drink companies of almost 20 cents per every soft drink, who's markup is obsessive?

Some questions for you Newman.

What do you think we should do about Iran? Do you think of them as a threat? Should we bother defending Israel?


Do you support the war going on in Afghanistan, or should we not be their either?

Are you in favor of an all socialistic or even communistic version of America, where everyone contributes the the same pie, and every gets an equal amount of that pie, or should people be entitled to keep what they earn?
