Get back the Congress. Our economy thrives on cheap energy. Our economy has been sabotaged by donkey energy policies from preventing drilling for natural gas and oil, on shore and off shore, preventing more nuclear energy plants being built, subsidizing corn ethanol, etc. Manufacturers could afford to make things here with cheap energy, but not with expensive energy when all the other costs of production from union demands and government regulation are taken into account.
I think the President of the Senate might have something to say about that.
I wouldn't count on that. God sets things in motion so that people can do the right things, and he sometimes provides a small but critical nudge to protect them when they do the wrong things, but the day-to-day happenings of the world are the work of man, not God. If things go catty-wampus, God will slowly but surely nudge them back in the right direction, but it would be folly to suggest that you can sit back and watch events because God will take care of everything, without considering that you yourself might have a critical role in His plan.
To hell with that!
I certainly hope so!
Get back the Congress. Stop them like the last time. Congress makes laws, not the President.
Please don’t even try to suggest to me that voting for McCain Over Obama is somehow going against God’s Plan.
Yes, well we’ll see how long his ego will allow him, not to share the spotlight, but to take a back seat to it, as is happening.
He's getting a level of support from conservatives he's never seen. Even if it's centered on Palin, the amount that spills over onto him is still greater than anything he's gotten before.
What you are saying and have for what seems like forever is don’t vote for McCain.
That to me is like saying don’t cross the street because you may get run over by a bunch of illegel aliens.
Eventually you have to do something, because doing nothing is politically naive.
But I really Like Bob Bar.
Yosemitest IS GOING TO VOTE REPUBLICAN!!!
Sarah Palin forced his hand!!!!!
Well let me tell you, with his fantastic performance at the Saddelback Church forum, his brilliant new style of ads, and now picking someone I was watching for a long time, Sarah Palin as his VP, I AM SO PUMPED I CANT BE CONAINED.
I used my lunch hour that Friday the announcement was made to find websites to purchase bumper stickers, yard signs, T-shirts, everything. Heck I could broken a taboo of mine and got a tattoo; McCain/Palin 08 on my chest.
Today I stopped by our county McCain campaign office and signed their volunteer sign-up sheet.
I can't confirm its true but I have heard that the bloo-blooded cigar smoking long time members of RNC, including Bush and Rove were pressing McCain to pick Romney. If true then that Maverick that we sometime hate, sometime love - did a very very good thing by saying NO to the established order.
Were thinking just alike. I also live in WA. I will predict right here, that Washington will be close. I know several democrats that were inspired by Palin and are voting for her. I also predict the new generation of crossover voters, PUMAs and whatever else they call themselves, will be in larger numbers than the Reagan Democrats from 1984. I was a Reagan Democrat, and I can tell you I can feel something BIG happening.
The way I see it, the response to Palin is a bargaining chip, and we can either use it or lose it.
That's what happens after he gets us nuked.
Zell Miller - D GA would be a great choice if he would serve.
I was going to vote for McCain, I just wasn’t going to like voting fore him.
