^^^also, congratulations to Chelsea Clinton. She grew up to become super hot!!

After stating how you're against oil drilling in the US, I'm going to take this moment to point out how completely contradictory paragraphs A & B really are.

You don't want the US to be world police but you want us to keep buying oil from other countries. You don't want to drill within our borders but you don't seem to mind if other countries ruin their own environments while watching American jobs disappear that could be invested in our own oil industry. You want to make sure our citizens are secure, but you're willing to keep watching over 70% of our oil money leave the country to go to whatever tyrant has control of the well that day.

You can't have your cake and eat it, too. Sacrifices must be made in one area or another.

I wonder if we see the same Chelsea Clinton

blah blah freaking blah.

I never said she was extensivley experienced, I just said shes MORE experienced than Barrack Obama, which is 100% true. All you really did was show the glaring flaws in the Democratic Ticket. See, the one at the top is woefully inexperienced from your very own standards, at least Pailin is the VP pick, not the Presidential pick.

Also her policy on drilling is to use enivromentally safe albiet more expensive technologies.

And her husband is a fisherman by trade that contracts with BP in the off seasons to maintain some income. Contracters are not employees, I know, I am one.

Actually with regards to energy, I don't mind seeing the oil prices stay high while we invest in alternative sources of energy and actually build half decent subways and public transit systems. In the meantime we can buy from the old oilfields instead of drilling new ones. Besides why is Exxon and the rest of the oil industry making so much profit while the rest of the US is falling apart?

I certainly donit like the idea of another oil industry insider (Palin) holding an executive position. Bush and Cheney were enough. Besides, America is govered along party lines. Bush has shown us what the GOP is all about. I don't know about you, but I certainly didn't enjoy it one bit. He lasted 8 years for that matter because of the same old gimmick issues. looks like we're going for another round.

Its funny how Putin accused the US of orchestrating the Georgia-Russia war to benefit one of their political parties ( a 3 a.m call to scare Americans right?). I'm wondering which party that was.

Sarah still doesn't look that bad.

Okay, so you're perfectly fine with money possibly going to rogue states whose motives are, at best, uncertain. You don't mind if the environment is ruined so long as it's not yours. Check. You also don't seem to mind that oil prices are high and are going to go even higher due to China's overwhelming growth, even if it means an ever bigger burden for the average American. We won't see the results of alternative energy for at least a decade. It's good to know that you're willing to "take one for the team" and possibly push the country into serious problems for the forseeable future while we adjust to the energy crunch.

Besides, what happens after we reduce our gasoline consumption? Do we suddenly stop needing oil? Last time I checked, it's used in everything from plastic to tires to damned near everything you use in daily life. We'll still need it, which means that according to your plan, we'll always be buying oil from the Middle East and Russia. Great.

Palin is hardly an "oil insider". Isn't her husband just a contractor for BP? From what I've read of her, she's aggressively pushing new methods of oil extraction that are less damaging to the environment, albeit at a higher cost. That doesn't sound like an oil stooge to me.

And your continual comparison of John McCain to George Bush is tiresome. McCain is nothing like Bush and he's known for seeking out powerful Democrats to get something done, something that little Texan tyrant would never dream of doing. Let's give that line a rest, shall we?

Inexperienced is a good thing!

It doesnt matter what your political viewpoints are, the people American as elected on both sides are not getting the job done.  If I see Al Gore push his global warming agenda while he pays a $3000 electric bill, Ted Kennedy push alternative energy while he blocked wind turbines being built 10 miles offshore from his beach house so he doesnt have to look at them, George Bush give no-bid contracts to his elite buddies, or another homophobic Republican vote to take rights away from gay Americans only to turn out to be a flaming homosexual who likes hairy men to ride their backs, I'm going to explode.

Kennedy was inexperienced, so was Abrham Lincoln.  And they were the best American presidents.  See a trend?

 I was only trying to counter your attack on the democrats. Personally, I don't care for party or experience after how much prosperity the experience of the Bush/Cheney administration brought us. I just care for trying to improve this economy from the current mess its in and the democrats just seem like the way to go. I thought McCain would at least pick Romney but he chose to pander to Hillary's voters instead.

I have taken a couple of courses in environmental science. I've never heard of a way to drill thats enviromentally safe. Perhaps you could point out this miracle technology? Besides, drilling more oil doesn't really move us away from our extreme oil dependence.

Did you really just compare Kennedy to Lincoln? Seriously?

Kennedy's most famous political move was slumping into the back seat of a convertible. Lincoln saved the Union.

That's it, I've had enough of CrazyTown for the day. I'm outta here.
