Jordan, I am NOT a christian. Americans don’t HAVE to be christians.As for voting for Barack Obama, I CAN do that. As a matter of fact I DID do that. The “athem and pedge” are done to honor our freedom. If someone chooses to keep their hands in their pocket they have that right.As for the contents of a woman’s uterus, I can’t THINK of anything MORE none of my business. NOBODY is FOR abortion except for the communist Chinese, the slave labor YOUR side of the isle loves so much.My facts are as “strait” as are my personal beliefs. About the only thing you spelled correct is “monkey faced jerk”.Congratulations. Although you should add a hyphen between the words “monkey” and “faced”, a hyphen looks like this: -.

Pardon me for butting in but………Frank the Liberal……YOU NEED JESUS!!! You CAN’T, I repeat you CAN’T be a Christian and vote for that monkey faced jerk. You can’t be a Christian if you are for abortion!! Oh and by the way, you are supposed to put your hand on your heart for the national athem AND the pedge. You need to start getting your facts strait before you open your BIG, FAT mouth!!!! In my opinion, you’re stupid if you vote for BARRAK OBAMA!!!

Jeeze. Where to start.Barack Obama is NOT a Muslim. AND as Colin Powell said today, so what if he WAS? He has been sworn in on a Bible for EVERY public office he has ever been elected to. He sings (badly) the National Anthem whenever it is played in his presence just like ALL AAmericans. For your information, we are to place our hand over our heart during the pledge of allegiance, NOT during the national anthem.
I see that you must spend a lot of time reading right-wing sites, which is your prerogative.All of the stuff you have presented here is straight from those kinds of sites. We all make our decision as to whom to vote for based on what we believe about the candidates. All of your concerns have been debunked months ago. But we still live in a free country and you and I both have the right to do our research and vote accordingly. I thank you for at least reading what I have written here and wish you the best.

Okay. Why ON EARTH would you vote for someone who doesn’t participate in the NATIONAL ANTHEM?!?!?! Are you serious right now? That song represents our country. When we put our hands over our hearts were representing our country. Does Obama put his hand on his heart??? no. he doesn’t. Also, to top that off, if he wins he’s not swearing into being the president on the BIBLE, he’s doing it on quran. Okay so he doesn’t represent our country with our song and he’s swearing into the president with a “bible” from another country. Let’s keep going. He’s pro abortion, if you take the chance of getting pregnant that’s YOUR fault. You should NEVER EVER kill someone’s life like that! Just tell me. Why would you vote for someone to represent our country who isn’t even elected yet and doesn’t represent it now. Our president is suppose to represent us. He’s a fool and you know it.

Good point Kat. I had heard something along these lines even affecting royalties from dry land drilling, something like they pay royalties on the price when the lease went into effect or something like that.
The WHOLE energy plan of the GOP is to drill for maximum benefit of guess who? BIG OIL. The dems tried to get several things passed at the last minute before they went on recess. A use it or lose it for the federal leases, eliminating unfettered speculation,release oil from the strategic reserve and MY favorite, go ahead and drill, but keep the oil HERE. They (the GOPers) said NO to it ALL. Their (cheney’s) idiotic “energy policy” he shoved through early in this administration created massive wealth for his big oil buddies, but at the same time, economically rebuilt the former soviet bear who are now staring us into a global nuclear holocaust. Nice work bush and dick.

Dig Baby Dig
For sometime I’ve been trying to figgure out why off shore drilling is so important. The other day I stumbled accross the answer in Wikipedia. While there are over 6000 dry land leases some completed wells capped off, why is off shore drilling so vital? It’s something called the Deep Water Royalty Relief Act.In the ’90s, when oil was around €15 per barrel, it was not profitable to drill off shore. To increase oil production the government passed laws to reduce and eliminate the royalties paid to the American people for oil taken from their property. The deeper the water, the less in royalties the oil companies have to pay.Take oil from dry federal lands, you have to share the profits with the American people. Take oil from underwater public lands and you get to keep all the money for your self.If the Royalty Relief Act was repealed, the urgency for off shore drilling would disappear.

I was of the opinion he was going to hit bush with 60 counts this time.
Another wimp out. My God! Do we havta try to get Kucinich outta office too, along with Nanci? I do not think I can get any more frustrated or angry with MY party. They are the weeniecrats from now on until a backbone develops - and - as a believer in evolution I suspect eventually a backbone will develop in at least ONE weeniecrat sometime off in the foggy future. Too damn far off to be of any help. I have the small consolation of being so old I will not live to see the full effect of bush’s bungling & the weenies hand wringing.
