Barack's Energy Plan: The poisoned apple
It seems all the energy plans these days are calling for significant energy conservation, and small steps toward making the energy we use "green". Obama has said we need to, first, pick the lowest hanging apple, that is, reducing our energy consumption. This is wrong. The lowest hanging apple is also the poisoned apple. Our efforts should be focused toward providing our energy needs through alternative sources, rather than reducing our consumption. Our focus on reducing consumption should be a secondary.
The reason why, is our economy is driven by energy. We use energy to produce and process everything we consume or need. If we decrease our energy consumption, we slow down our economy. Our economy is dependent on energy, absolutely. We use energy to build houses, produce metals and wood, till corn fields, etc. If we no longer have this resource to produce these goods, be prepared for housing prices, food prices, automobile prices, and the price of every other commodity we enjoy to increase even further.
There is no question we have the resources, money, and technology to replace our energy needs within the next few decades, the trick is putting our vast wealth toward long lasting alternative energy, rather than crutches like further oil drilling.
My point is, America is the greatest, richest, and most technologically advanced country in the world. We have the resources to provide all our energy needs through alternative sources. Lets go green the American way, by providing for our needs through clean alternatives, rather than changing our lifestyles to accomodate a diminishing fuel supply.

You can't even muster the courage to go to the video, where she clearly says, " I put it on Ebay!" Not, "I sold it on Ebay."
None of what you say has any substantiated FACT. That is so poor.
91% has already been disproven by the Congressional Records Department. Need a URL to go face the music little screamer ??? I have it here, or would you prefer to go find it yourself? Did your po' mama not teach you how to perform simple searches? BTW, your boy Obama just used 97% this AM. Who's the bigger liar, you or Obama?
You must feel so alone here, whining to only 1 or 2 other folks that give your disgruntled rants any relevance at all...

You lie beyond the common immaturity and angry denials of the democratic party. The Democrats themselves called the town "of 9000 people..." just over the national airwaves less than 48 hours ago. If they are wrong again, well, who would predict that.
John McCain's first wife reported to the Washington Post, February of 2000, during his first election run, that calling him a cheater "was not in full reference of the facts, and that she made mistakes too, that are not accounted for in any accusations of his being called a cheater." Wow, and ex-wife making that claim of clarity, where was this sovereign idiot Michael Garcia then???
The New York Times retracted ALL indications that Senator McCain even had the probability of cheating on his second wife Cindy. Fact, your source already ran and hid after the ambush attempt, not long after endorsing McCain as the Republican to run for President, but no...... little Garcia's can't show their face in the light of truth. Smears are all you can attempt.
Palin did not steal tax dollars for any home. The 30 lawyers and press investigators had that wiped from their books before they flew out to Alaska 36 hours ago. You are the liar, you need the pulpit or you feel as you must always feel, very inadeqaute. If the allegation hungry lawyers dropped that, well Michael Garcia knows better than even leftist lawyers eh??
McCain has fought Bush so many times, before the late Tim Russert died, both he and Tim Scarborough, original democrats both, warned national viewers and Matt Lauer on the Today Show, that the democrats labeling McCain as just "more of Bush" would not work, that his record clearly showed reforms and his fights over the improper portions of the Bush Administrations policies and decisions.
The democrats can't even decide on the overall percetage they say McCain voted with Bush (92-97% now), when the voting record actually shows only an 81% vote-with rate over the last 7 years. The votes he objected with Bush on? (# of troops in Iraq, pollution and global warming issues, modifying the tax cuts to help the lower middle class more and not the upper class, education reforms, import tariffs to protect US employees, oh yeah, all of the issues the democrats are trying to use against Bush and McCain now....) Too bad my fav' Tim Russert died, not only was he dearly loved by most, he'd still be saying this now.
And I believe Tim knows more about it than you.
Lightweight? Junior at least I come with facts anyone can verify, you toss mindless and cruel allegations, that have no proof, and show your brainless style about how the government owes you money, and it must be Bush and McCains' fault your check is not already in the mail.
McCain dropped bombs in the line of duty, for his country, and fought in his post-war years to bring stability, aid and a military re-organization to avoid future war abuses that Viet Nam exposed. You would never qualify to perform duty to your country, which others provide you the freedom to avoid, you only complain and blame others without fact or substance. Pathetic, simply Obama-like Pathetic.
Palin did put the Jet up on Ebay, never said she actually sold it there, that was McCain's advisor-gaff. You can't even get that right. The $750 in 'earmarks' well now, guess what is the #2 accusation the democrat's lawyers in Alaska have dropped? Seems that can't be proven either. Who are you really Garcia? The only one I've seen make sure careless and un-substantiated remarks is Keith Oberman. OOOPS, didn't he just get demoted, since the truth did not work for him either?
You ought to leave the site, T. Boone must be suffering serious indigestion right now, reviewing over your mindless remarks on his website.

This is supposed to be bipartisan. You need to settle down. If you want to support someone who has no experience that would in any way prepare or qualify him to be president, and nothing but high talk to solve our problems, it's your business. This site is not intended for these kinds of political sniping. We're trying to solve a problems here. You can take that kind of talk to the Huffington Post or somewhere you will find someone who cares.

Thanks Marlene. Someone needs to be policing these forums and it's obvious they are not. We don't need to be giving the Mr. Garcia's a forum to rant in. Unfortunately, I don't think there is going to be a bipartisan solution with all of this going on. I think Pickens needs to come in and delete discussions when they get this bad.

But, in the meantime, what will our children be exposed to? I agree with the basic premise but the unintended consequences could devastate civilization as we know it.

i think many people think, we as a nation, have a great deal of issues to over come. i also think many of us are looking at it from different angles.
finger pointing is not going to solve it. taking a look at the bigger picture might put us in the right direction.
just my opinion
