And thirty years of “We need an energy policy” from both sides.

Now they say it will be 10 years before we see oil from offshore or from Alaska and it won’t make any difference. Not so much. If the market / speculators / OPEC saw that we were serious about using our own resources the fear that’s built into the market would diminish to next to nothing. There are some that don’t think it would take that long. Maybe for the offshore rigs because there’s more involved and we don’t have the equipment and ships ready to go, a massive offshore project would take awhile. But for ANWR? Probably a lot quicker. The pipeline is already there, the infrastructure and support systems are already there or close by.

Everyone loves free money! I know I do. But I know I’m not going to get rich or get stronger financially by giving away tons of money I don’t have and no idea how I’m going to get that money to give away in the first place.

Obama: Give economy $50 billion boost
With a big jump in the unemployment rate and record oil prices, Barack Obama says he wants to extend benefits for those out of work and send out more rebate checks.

He wants all of this done before he gets into office. Whether he’s the president of not, it needs to get done!

Told you there was going to be a change! Check out the Libertarian Presidential nominee. You’ve heard McCain, Obama and Hillary. They all sound the same with the same idea. Listen to someone that is so conservative to the point of Libertarian, the Founding Fathers were Libertarian so it can’t be all that bad. This is 40 minutes but worth the time. I like Glenn Beck on the Radio and his Headline News show. Bob Barr is beginning to sound like he’s making sense. Much more than the “mainstream” candidates.

Unless McCain selects Romney as a Vice President, he doesn’t stand a chance against the Obama-phenomena. That’s exactly what it is, because there isn’t any substance to it. Even with Romney as VP, McCain doesn’t stand a chance, but that’s the only way I would vote for him and hope for only a four year term. McCain is just too old, too old school. He’s been in the Senate forever, he’s part of the problem, not the solution.

This interview is a great introduction to Bob Barr’s basic viewpoints. Everything from defense, Iraq, the economy and immigration. You know, the important stuff. Bob Barr‘s Website Libertarian Party‘s Website.

What in the world is wrong with the Republican party? The American people? The only reason I can see why John McCain is doing so well, is he’s got all the connections and will owe a lot of favors for all those endorsements. Everyone “likes” him because he’s been around forever.

McCain is an angry, arrogant old man. The LA Times or someone did a very detailed bio. Granted – he served his country, but so did a lot of people and that was a long time ago. His current record show how he feels nowadays.

According to the article (which I can’t find right now), he went to the Naval Academy, and finished, but almost finished last of his class. Then he gets into jet fighter training? Only the best get into jets, but his dad was an admiral. He was the youngest commander of a large squadron and his dad was an admiral in the same theater. I’m sure that had nothing to do with it.

And now this from World Net Daily:

How the Clintons will undo McCain
According to T, they reveal that McCain had made an “accommodation” with his captors, and in exchange, T’s father saw that he was provided with an apartment in Hanoi and the services of two prostitutes. Upon returning to his prison cell, he would say he had been held in solitary confinement. That may be why so many of his fellow prisoners said later they saw so little of him at Hoa Loa.

Read the entire article. It says the CIA has proof from documents they got after the Soviet fall and a certain Clinton has connections in the CIA.

He went from the military to politics, so he’s never had a job in the economy, but he’s for tax cuts now. His temper has been reported by other Senators as being out of control. He’s yelled obscenities at other Senators because they had a different opinion than he had.

With all the talk about change and people being sick and tired of the political system and the people go for the same old political games. McCain is the expert at political games because he’s been playing for years. Look at his campaign, kind of like Clinton, if you say something loud enough and often enough, people will think it’s true.

We get a good, family man, scandal free, tough, smart, intelligent business man and what do we do? I just don’t get it. A lot of people say Romney is too polished. For God’s sake! After complaining that Bush was a “dummy” in front of the microphone you think this would be a good thing? He was a CEO and they have to be smart, articulate and be good with facts and numbers. And people are complaining about that? I just don’t get it.

If nothing else, has everyone forgotten McCain-Kennedy? And after they tried to sneak the Dream Act through in the middle of the night behind our backs and you believe a politician when he says he “heard the American people”??? I don’t get it. I said that. I’m still saying it. I’ll probably be saying it awhile longer too.

And Huckabee? Don’t get me started. That backstabbing, game playing, lying, prisoner releasing, pro-open border, politician. But he’s pastor, Governor from Arkansas? That’s what this country needs? ‘cuse me while I throw-up. I don’t get it.

Good thing I’m learning Spanish. I’m building another site to document my progress and keep some notes about the products and how I’m learning. Standby for that.
