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.

Do you just quote what you see on Fox/MSNBC or whatever. People make things happen and Politicians block the way or take our money. I bet you believe that Hamburgers should be taxed to stop people from eating thing that are bad for them. Get goverment out of the way "regulations.. standards.. incentives.. subsidies.. tax offsets.. ALL political.." move to Russia if you want someone to take care of you. I would rather have the best ideas that can make money in society lead the way. Bye bye Michael. Please repond with a Dem blog to an energy problem...

Thank you, Mr. Hillyer. I don't know who, from America, would champion socialism. Everybody understands there are people starving on the street in America, the ticker is there are fewer starving here than elsewhere. Yeah, I'm sure there are examples of countries which are socialist and have some characteristic that would give evidence of superiority, so save the post.

John McCain never cheated anyone in American Politics, and he never will. What happened with his first wife is not fully of public record, and he never cheated on his second and current wife, Cindy. The NY Times even had to go back and admit this in a cowardly retraction on page 21 of their A section.
Why have you shrunk what the Democrats reported as a city of 9000 already,
Obama does not know crap, and has already back-peddled, trying to recreate himself as a 'limited oil drilling supporter' repeating parrot that he is. Palin actually ran the country's largest state, heavy in oil and infrastructure legislation, legislation, a commodity Obama has hardly ever touched (PART OF THE OFFICIAL STATE OF ILLINOIS RECORD AND US SENATE RECORD), and you sit there and lie about McCain, the original 'change' guy that Obama is plagarizing from now?
What a worthless bed-wetting web-surfer you are. You sure sound Angry! Might want to go back and check out your sources Mikey-boy, the same ones retracting the statements you so class-lessly shared here.

Does it not Sound like Mr. Garcia is probably here illegally? He sure is looking for handouts with so many allegations and not a single specific cited fact.
Someone get T.Boone to get INS on here.

If you are speaking of Illegal Immigration, maybe you should check your party's nominee for president and his take on the mexican border. Atleast Obama has a obligation to black americans; so he could help them get jobs back from the Illegals.
We need to stop the imports, whether from China or Mexico.
May I add, that I am a republican who supports the best candidate.
Why would I vote for McCain, he says he knows more about this subject than anyone!!

Obama has no obligation to blacks or whites. He's bi-racial and is only using the blacks to get elected. His view on illegal immigration is even worse than John McCain's because he will not only legalize them, he will double or triple the social services they can get, making it an even bigger draw. We will be trampled by the flood over the border.
I don't believe you are a republican or you'd realize that we can hold off a lot of things from passing Congress so whoever is president doesn't get to sign them but we have to have the right kind of judges and that's where McCain comes in. We can't let Obama pick our next crop of supreme court justices or this country is truly lost.

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.

Lying Dumbass = Michael Garcia
I reviewed GS and Marlene's comments, not a racist blurb amongst any of them. You are soooo INSECURE, you must really be afraid John McCain or Sara Palin will be sending out INS after you and your green card eh?
I bet you think that is a racist remark too eh? Can't see through the dark humor you bring upon yourself can ya' Mikey?
