It’s pretty amazing how Sen. McCain has the ability to make me proud and drive me crazy, simultaneously.
In this discussion with Matt Lauer, McCain talks about the necessity to explore and initiate the transition to alternative sources of energy. I wholeheartedly agree with the need to break free from the dependency on foreign oil, as many do, but still don’t buy the man made global warming thing. I’m beginning to get pretty uneasy about Sen. McCain’s rhetoric on the matter, in fact, but I’m still going to back him because handing our country over to Barack would be a true shame.
But then he goes on to say oil companies need to be “more participatory sharing their profits.” What’s all this nonsense about sharing profits? Perhaps because the MSM keeps referring to it as “windfall” profits, rather than explain that multinational firms like these big oil companies are serving billions of people around the globe with an increased appetite for oil and stronger currencies to buy it??
On to where he makes me proud, standing firm on finishing up our victory in Iraq. People are making a hooplah over his phrase that it’s not important when American troops come home. He goes on to say that what’s important is death toll. We have troops stationed all over the world. We’ll wait for the summer to hear General Petraeus tell us when he thinks we can start pulling out. Ding ding ding. At least someone running for president has a clue.

I wonder what Juan would think about beer distributors sharing their profits...
How in God's name did we end up with this choice for leader of the free world?
I can't help but throw up in my mouth a little...
Haha. Scarborough was joking about this morning on Morning Joe...if you were going to pick one heiress to latch on to, it’s a beer heiress.
"We're going to take things away from you on behalf of the common good.- Hillary Clinton
"I'll make oil companies like Exxon pay a tax on their windfall profits, and we'll use the money to help families pay for their skyrocketing energy costs and other bills."- Barack Obama
The shades of red socialism in this campaign are sublime, mah FRiends.
And BigOil is doing that quite well.
Another post for liberal, Democrat light McCain from a newbie.
Another newbie who isn’t thinking or doesn’t want to. The only hope for conservatives to come back is for McCain to lose, which he will. He won’t get votes from many true conservatives nor will he get the Independent vote as they will vote Democrat this time and it’s their vote that elects candidates.
I know how oil companies can be more participatory with their profits——higher stock dividends.
The people who say they have to vote for McCain have my blessing. I'm going to try not to fight with them too much between now and November, but darn these threads seem repetitive.
the liberal/socialist side of John McCain keeps showing itself and it keeps me from getting behind him. I like him on life and national security. Can’t stand him on first amendment, amnesty, tree hugging, global warming, economics, and his tendency to compromise with the devil.
