After hearing the O’Reily interview, I agree. McCain is simply awful. When he equated the bleak empty permafrost tundra of ANWR with the Grand Canyon, and threw in Teddy Roosevelt’s conservationism as his model for such a comparison, I nearly lost my lunch! Teddy would not agree. He would want us to drill, knowing full well that we can drill in a relatively small zone compared to the enormous expanse of frozen, treeless flatland that is ANWR. The fact that the environmentaists will not give an inch on ANWR is very telling as to who they support, the average hard working American, or the goddess Gaia.
McCain fails to realize, the little guy is hurting due to increased energy costs brought on to a very great extent to our foolishness concerning the environment; where no scientific evidence but only raw emotion rules to our disadvantage. Even the French get 80% of their electricity from nuclear power that we’ve been taught to fear thanks to Hollywood and the Left. But it’s not just in the gas tank that the little guy is hurting on now, but on everything he needs to buy and survive. The dem candidates want to make it worse by passing a tax on the energy companies that will only be passed on to the public. How do they intend to stop that? They can’t and they won’t! But hey, they’ll tax all of us through their new tax collector EXXON/Mobil.
McCain has a golden opportunity to help his country and his countrymen but what is he going to do? Tow the environmentalist line, which is nature trumps mankind, plain and simple.
I’ve had it with him. McCain is no Republican.
They both want to be loved by the left. And they are both stupid enough to believe they can play both sides, it never works and won't this time.
McCain may still win due to the fact that boma is so polarizing.
But BOR will never ever get even close to Rush in numbers(audience) even though he gets the left over affiliates on his radio show. He just is no Rush and never will be.
Agree. As we get into the general election campaign, McCain is going to move further and further to the Left to court moderates and independents. He will also pander to Hispanics. His upcoming speech at the La Raza National conference will be an indicator of how far he will go in this regard. McCain is going to depress Rep turnout, which is going to hurt Reps downticket. The more his positions become known, the more he hurts other Reps. And so far, his fund raising has struck a dry hole.
I spent $15 to tell McCain how we feel about the Anwar thing.
I got one of those questionnaires from him and wrote ‘drill in Anwar’ all over it.
They asked for contributions, which I declined but did send the requested fifteen bucks to ‘read the questionnaire.’
Unless we have the courage to fight the Enviroterrorists we are going to have some very hard times.
The lumber industry is on its last leg due to hug a tree mentality. Trees are the most efficient solar generators in the world and regrow in 20 years, every 20 years w/o energy but can we use them? No, foolishness they want us to live in a Petroleum house.
Pray for W and Our Troops
I got a contribution request in the mail from McCain. I put this reply in the pre-paid envelop. My suggestion is for everyone to do something similar.
Dear Senator McCain,
I cannot support you due to:
1) Your continuing support for allowing illegal immigrants to remain in the United States. I am not saying deport. But these people need to go back home and get back in line. We, Americans, hate line-jumpers. We can do this by enforcing all current laws and deny illegal immigrants access to jobs, welfare and education.
2) Your out of touch stance on Global Warming. Global warming is a HOAX promoted by socialists and envronmentalist-wackos. The solution to our energy problems and many of our other economic issues is simply drilling domestically wherever there is oil or natural gas. I have been to the rigs in the gulf and the everglades (you should go). There is more wildlife around these structures than in adjacent areas. Again, we currently drill in the everglades and you should go out and see what it is really like. Plus exploring our own natural resources would create a massive amount of domestic high paying jobs.
Sincerely
McCain is for McCain.
We know Clinton was for Clinton and McCain is from the same cloth.
We have three political clones running for same position.
Hillary talks tax cuts out of desperation, just like mccain gives lip service to border security.
This election will depend on conservatives on the LOCAL level.
