Fact: Obama will increase your Electricity Bill, by increasing emission fines on Coal companies until they go "bankrupt".
McCain will save you money, both on your Electricity Bill and your Petrol.

In an interview on Iowa Public TV in 2007, Barack Obama advocated sending “price signals” to middle class consumers in order to “change their behavior.”
“Price signals” being an Orwellian code word for punitive taxes and fees. And Obama doesn’t seem to care much who it would hurt.
This is a repost, but this needs to be seen far and wide.
Marx might not have liked the rich, but he HATED the middle class. His system (and Socialism, the bastard son of his system) is a plan for getting rid of the middle class.
And look at places where socialists reign: New York, Michigan, California, France, Germany - the middle class is disappearing.
Someone forgot to tell that commie puke that the purpose of taxation is to raise revenue for the proper functions of government; not, repeat not, to modify behavior.
That’s one of the critical differences between Thomas Jefferson-style classical liberals (and the present-day conservatives), and the modern leftist.
It is not the role or responsibility of the government to encourage or discourage behavior. Their responsibility is to make certain activity either legal or illegal. If it is legal, they have no business punishing people who partake of that behavior. Now, of course, we have evolved from that purist belief and most accept that there is some encouraging/discouraging that is acceptable.
But this is why, at its core, socialism is about behavior control (its ultimate goal is political, not economic). The argument of socialists becomes: “If someone else is paying the cost of ____, then they have a right to restrict your liberty to cut back on that cost.”
Anybody stupid enough to vote for Obama deserves no better than to lose everything they have.
Mexico- since the Cardenas reforms, no middle class. Why can you grow strawberries in California with Mexican labor, when you can’t grow strawberries in Mexico with Mexican labor? Socialism.
The guys is a SUPER Control freak, and don't forget about his wife's insistence the “he'd NEVER allow you to go back to your old ways”.
The more he will attempt to CONTROL the US economic system, the freedom of choice, etc - the more this country will go absolutely haywire.

they would not be “price signals”,
but price commands,
in a command economy,
run by comrade obamao.
Price signals to change behavior? Does he really think it’s such a simple matter, like clicker-training a puppy? *rolls eyes*
Holy crap... I’m just speechless. Just when I think I’ve heard it all from this guy, we catch wind of an even bigger whopper.
Like all liberals, Obama is by instinct an authoritarian social engineer.
I couldn't agree with you more.
