Who are you voting for?

[BOB]

I'm getting into this Poll a little late...crappy PC.
my vote is for mccain-PALIN
wasn't much of a McCain fan but Palin simply kicks ass.
so far, so good for her. I always said I'd vote for the right woman, and she is it.
hell, my first choice would have bee Condee for VP.
She proved she is too smart by walking away from the VP opportuntity.
I must admit, the GOP is getting better. Palins speech was off the charts.
But, I was impressed when McCain pointed out all the small countries we send money to that did not support us in the IRaq war. He said F*^% em, stop sending them money, and put that money towards Social Security.
Yo mama Obama is just a Community Organizer, whatever the hell in the world that is?
when I grew up in Chicago, that meant he picked up the squeeze money for guys like Jesse Jackson..

"A recent low point was reached in January 1999 of $16 (all prices are in US$ per barrel), after increased oil production from Iraq coincided with the Asian financial crisis, which reduced demand. Prices then increased rapidly, more than doubling by September 2000 to $35, then fell until the end of 2001 before steadily increasing, reaching $40-50 by September 2004. [2] In October 2004 light crude futures contracts on the NYMEX for November delivery exceeded $53 and for December delivery exceeded $55. Crude oil prices surged to a record high above $60 in June 2005, sustaining a rally built on strong demand for gasoline and diesel and on concerns about refiners' ability to keep up. This trend continued into early August 2005, as NYMEX crude oil futures contracts surged past $65 as consumers kept up the demand for gasoline despite its high price. Crude oil futures peaked at a close of over $77 in July 2006, and in December 2006 at about $63.

Let's see, ((77-16)/16)* 100 % = 381.25% increase in the price of crude oil, before the Dems took back Congress in January 2007, not 2006! Even if I use the 2002 price bottom of about $20/barrel, I get 77/20 = 385% increase.

With oil at about $106 a barrel right now, if I use the dec 2006 price above of $63 I get ((106-63)/63)*100% = 68% since the Dems took back control or the House of reps.

How about you take the price that oil reached a high of - what, like $150? Instead of the current price...

And how about we get some real numbers in here instead of the ones you doctored to make your boys look good.

http://www.wtrg.com/oil_graphs/oilprice1970.gif

lets go with the average price...$32 a gallon from 1970 to 2006. In 06 prices averaged $60 a barrel. I wonder what the 2008 average is so far....

And look at that black line that ends about 83/84....look how much cheaper our own oil was when we were using most of our own....

Arguing with you is like running my head into a brick wall. Except I think I'd get more accomplished with the wall.

As was stated before, Iraq needed stability and regime change - look at how steady their oil production has been now, compared with what it was from 91-03.

Crap, now I've gone and helped steer this thread off topic....its so easy to do...

I don't think a McCain-Palin administration will have the temperment to work with a Democratic Congress, which means McCain would give us 4 more years of stalemate in Washington, which would be very bad for us right now.

So why can't the Democratic Congress work with McCain? I don't think the Dems will have the temperment to work with McCain.

Maybe if both sides bend a little to work with each instead of working for their party something will get done.

The presidential approval rating is horrible; somthing like 19%
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Approval_rating#Lowest_approval_rating

(Kinda funny Bush has the highest rating and the lowest.)

But the Congressional approval rating isn't much better; 14%
http://www.gallup.com/poll/108856/Congressional-Approval-Hits-RecordLow-14.aspx

Both sides suck no one wants to work with the other to get stuff done. But sorry I've already voted for McCain. If I wanted to live in a Socialist country I'd move back to Germany where taxes are through the roof and everyone leaches off the government.

 

[BOB]

I am looking forward to the day when McCain gives his first State of the Union speech with Pelosi and Palin seated behind him.
Pelosi is a biaaatch. She didn't want Hillary anywhere near the White House.
She wanted to be the alpha female. She did whatever she could to derail Hillary.
Now, she will be seated next to Palin, the soon to be VP.

Great question! It's because many Democrats and most liberals can't do much for themselves; they need others to do it for them. This includes putting the onus on John McCain to work with a Democrat Congress. BTW Mike--and I hate pointing out the obvious, but apparently you need it--McCain has worked with Democrats probably more than any other Republican in history. Did you forget this out of convenience?

I don't think McCain is the bending type, in spite of what he said. One minute he is saying he will work with congress, the next he his saying he will hold their feet to the fire. I suspect he will work with congress only if they do what he says to do, just like GWB. Of course the same probably goes for Congress if either side has a majority in Congress.

I can't help but wonder if the congressional disapproval is due to 50% democrats disapproving of the 4x% republicans in the Congress, and 50% republicans disapproving of the apx 50% democrats in the Congress.

CAT FIGHT! LOL.

Perhaps the WWF could have them on as guest star Divas!:clap:

Unfortunately Pelosi would probably kick her ass, but one ever knows for sure what will happen.

I hope Sara whoops her ass, hockey style, the first time Nancy's mouth opens and a typical smartass/dumbass comment flows out.

This is silly, but seriously, Pelosi isn't much younger than McCain...she's 68. She'd break her hip with the first chair shot....while you have a young, in shape Palin, who probably carries a knife (or concealed handgun) on her - avid hunter/fisher/sportswoman.

Even your views on a fight are flawed....

Notice the more Mike posts in this thread the higher the McCain number goes. LOL

Thanks Mike

My mistake, unintentional typo, I typed the wrong name. Should have read Palin, not Pelosi. Perhaps Baracuda Palin, would have been better.

I will given Palin one thing, she played the best sport in the world in High school as a point guard! BASKETBALL! Seems like she and Obama have something in common afterall, LOL!
