the economy and social fabric of this country and why.

1) Rand Paul (R candidate Kentucky) let slip that he wanted the Obama administration to leave BP aloooooone!

2) Michele Bachmann(R Minnesota congresswoman) saying that the government was "nowhere to be found" after the Deepwater Horizon rig exploded...except, of course, they actually arrived within hours.

3) Sarah Palin (R vice presidential candidate) I told you so." Palin tweeted out to "extreme greenies" to gloat that the spill vindicates "Drill, Baby, Drill."

4) Haley Barbour (R Mississippi Gov. and my favorite) he's repeatedly insisted that the oil spill isn't worth fretting over. It "isn't anything like Exxon Valdez," Barbour claims, comparing the crude itself to caramel mousse, toothpaste, and the fuel sheen surrounding speed boats.

5) John Boehner (R congressman) "I think the people responsible in the oil spill--BP and the federal government--should take full responsibility for what's happening there,"

6) Joe Barton (R congressman) I think it is a tragedy of the first proportion that a private corporation can be subjected to what I would characterize as a shakedown, in this case a $20 billion shakedown," Barton said. I apologize. I do not want to live in a country where any time a citizen or a corporation does something that is legitimately wrong, is subject to some sort of political pressure that is, again, in my words, amounts to a shakedown. So I apologize."

That when the democrats say the water is wet the republicans say no its not, and that when the republicans say the sky is blue the democrats say no its not and that we all really don’t know what anything that comes out of congress is good or bad because of all the lies for and against are told about it from the opposite side until it has been out there for several years and we can look back and say yes that was good or no that was bad idea. Much like the Iraq war or the deregulation of the banking industry.

Yet all republicans believe they are better for the economy.

Do you really think this women supports your view of things, she wants to put a gun in everybody’s hand, attack any country she thinks should be attacked, take away the right for women to choose what is best for them, teach her view of religion in our schools, Only 10% of Alaskan students complete a college degree the second lowest in the nation, a husband who wants Alaska to secede from the nation how patriotic is that, wants to tear up wildlife refuges so big oil can make a little more money, doesn’t believe in global warming, is against birth control, trys to use her power to punish people who disagree with her, is this your view of what women want in a VP.

When he was having an affair thats all you heard about. Why are they not blasting McCain for picking a person who’s teenage daughter is pregnant out of wedlock. This is the same thing as saying that’s ok what kind of example is this setting for teenage women in this country where is the outrage by the religious right on how this will corrupt our daughters into believing this kind of behavior is ok. Notice I am not criticizing Palin’s daughter or Palin I am criticizing the republican leadership for saying this is the best example to our youth that we can find in our party to make VP. Was there no one else?

conventions.

Isn't this just like when he sat with the first graders reading when 9/11 was going on. Is it just a way for Cheney to keep him out of the way.

Nixon in the 70's Reagan in the 80's and Now Bush, and the democrats dig us out of it why would any one not invested in oil vote republican.

praise the democratic congress for the fall in oil prices or will they make up some other excuse.

to do that job anymore.

the day they are born since he wants us to be in Iraq for 100 years and we are going to need the new soldiers by the time they turn 18.

how it would destroy earth in a second but what would happen to us or our solar system if it hits Jupiter, Saturn, or the Sun or even our Moon?

threatens them they are on there own since they have no problem keeping oil production low helping to cause high oil prices and hurting the U.S economy.
