The Iraq war is not the focus of the American public’s concern as much as the rising cost of energy in this nation. We need to be drilling in the United States. We have our own oil. If McCain would get off this global warming fraud and start straight talking nuclear energy and other energy technologies that come from the free enterprise system, he would kick the DemonRAT’s rears this November.

He needs to call for a roll back of all the environmental regulations that hamstring energy development in this country.

The Iraq war is not the focus of the American public’s concern as much as the rising cost of energy in this nation. We need to be drilling in the United States. We have our own oil. If McCain would get off this global warming fraud and start straight talking nuclear energy and other energy technologies that come from the free enterprise system, he would kick the DemonRAT’s rears this November.

NBC News/Wall Street Journal Poll conducted by the polling organizations of Peter Hart (D) and Bill McInturff (R). Jan. 20-22, 2008. N=1,008 adults nationwide. MoE ± 3.1.

. "Let me list some issues that have been proposed for the federal government to address. Please tell me which one of these items you think should be the top priority for the federal government. [See below.]" If more than one: "Well, if you had to choose just one, which do you think should be the top priority?"

. Job creation and economic growth 26 %
The war in Iraq 17
Health care 17
Terrorism 10
Illegal immigration 10
Energy and the cost of gas 7
The environment and global warming 6
Foreign policy and Iran 5

While I agree McCain should push for domestic energy production and nuclear power, he is very close when he says the Iraq war is the big issue. It is #2 in every poll taken in the last 6 months. You can see #1. Immigration is bottom 5.
