Have any of you gotten one of these yet? I don’t think I’ve ever read such a load before…
A few examples of the completely unbiased questions…
"Should Republicans do everything they can to prevent liberal Democrats from repealing the USA PATRIOT Act and other important laws that help our intelligence agencies protect America?" Yes/No/Undecided
"Should we do everything we can to stop Democrats from weakening border security" Yes/No/Undecided

A bit long but worth reading
Pelosi and the dems won’t let off-shore drilling up for a vote even when 70%+ of Americans are demanding it. Plus, she doesn’t want to force a vote on Obama because she knows it could be political suicide for him. House Dems turn out the lights but GOP keeps talking.
"Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and the Democrats adjourned the House and turned off the lights and killed the microphones, but Republicans are still on the floor talking gas prices.

That is, did he ever actually say it was really a bad thing? Everything I ever heard from him simply said it was a distraction and wouldn’t help our problems with foreign oil and gas prices. (Which he still says).
I might be wrong though, it’s not an issue I’ve followed closely.

Oil is like the road system we have, that may have some potholes and ruts, but with some capital investment, we can improve them and they will serve our needs for now and the future.

Sen. said Saturday he is simply acting pragmatically in softening his opposition to additional oil drilling along the nation’s coastline, a shift Republicans say shows he is calculating and out of touch with voters. Speaking in Florida, Obama insisted he still generally opposes additional drilling as his Republican rival, Sen. John McCain, once did as well but would be willing to support it as part of a new bipartisan energy proposal that seeks to lessen dependence on foreign oil. “If we can come up with a genuine bipartisan compromise, in which I have to accept some things that I don’t like, or the Democrats have to accept some things that they don’t like in exchange for actually moving us in the direction of actual energy independence, then that’s something I’m open to,” the Illinois Democrat said. Oil drilling, a hot topic in Florida, has been a point of dispute between Obama and McCain in recent weeks. “Sen. Obama says he wants energy independence, but he doesn’t support anything that serves that goal,” McCain said Saturday in his weekly radio address. “He believes every domestic energy source has a problem. I believe every energy source needs to be part of the solution.” Continue reading… |
