Asked whether the debate could go forward if McCain doesn’t show, Obama spokesman Robert Gibbs replied, "My sense is there’s going to be a stage, a moderator, an audience and at least one presidential candidate." Continue reading…

State party to consider bid to oust Lieberman
September 24, 2008 15:34 EDT
HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) — Connecticut Democrats are considering trying to force Joe Lieberman out of the party.
The veteran senator calls himself an "independent Democrat." He was re-elected as an independent two years ago after losing the Democratic primary. Six years earlier, he nearly became vice president as Al Gore’s running mate.

Absolutely no new drilling (even though EVERY other country in the world does it).
No new nuclear plants.
His answer to high gas prices is windfall profits tax. Whatever the fuck that is…sounds like something that will just result in higher prices at the pump.
….and now his most brilliant new solution to the energy problems yet!

Lol at the quiz about tax breaks, isn’t McCains plan to reduce corporation tax to 25% so of course oil companies will benefit but so will every one else, they make it seem it is a specific reduction for oil companies
Also about the leases, why would oil companies pay millions of dollars to lease the land and not explore/develop?
Isn’t that slanderous against Exxon/Mobil?
At the very least, it’s defamation of character, or character assassination. Hell, I wouldn’t want my oil company associated with that dinosaur.

I’m waiting for Tupac to mention Obama
…or McCain
As Barack Obama has said many, many times in the past, rap lyrics today too often perpetuate misogyny, materialism, and degrading images that he doesn’t want his daughters or any children exposed to,” said spokesman Bill Burton. “This song is not only outrageously offensive to Senator Clinton, Reverend Jackson, Senator McCain, and President Bush, it is offensive to all of us who are trying to raise our children with the values we hold dear. While Ludacris is a talented individual he should be ashamed of these lyrics.”

For the past month or so I have noticed that this community lacks any concentration of direct explanations by the posters themselves on their own socioeconomic and political views. I am curious what drives people to hold the beliefs that they do, and was inspired by where the posters there revealed what drives their religious (or non-religious) beliefs.
What I’d like to do is have people just explain a bit about what got them to where they are and what they believe in a more direct fashion, rather than in bits and pieces that show during various debate threads. If you’re not shy, please include some demographic information, a little history of where you grew up, what sort of education you have, and what sort of political environment you were raised in. These sorts of things influence our views, obviously.
