Democrats Don't Get It

I am listening to Obama criticize the Republicans proposals for off shore drilling, drilling in Alaska and drilling in the States.

The Democrats arguement is- it will not produce oil for atleast 5-10 years.

Well Wake Up!!!! This is the same position that was made 30 years ago, 20 years ago and 10 years ago!!
If the drilling was done back then- do you think we would be paying $4/gal for gas now--I do not think so!!
Obviously the Democrats have no idea of the mind set of the OPEC members.

If there is any hint that we were going to start drilling, and build more refineries- the members of OPEC will drop their price-- they will do anything to keep our dollars flowing-- I can noy believe that the Democrats are so ignorant.

Time for a transitional President

With Obama and Clinton attacking each other, and the threat of various Democrats threatening to vote for someone else instaed of thier favorite candidate-- it might be time for the Democrats to throw up their hands and risk losing this election.

Neither of the two were my first choice- and the way they are battling each other- I will have a problem voting for either one of them.

There has got to be better candidates in the Democrat Party.

Perhaps we should all vote for McCain- and hope that the country turns around(elect a Democratic majority Congress and Senate)- and if the country doesn't turn around- choose a Democrat in 2012 who is better qualified, and not carrying a lot of baggage.

John McCain for Transitional President- Why not.

Clinton, Obama or McCain

I am a registered Democrat. This is no way means that I vote the Democratic ticket all the time.
I have voted for Gude, Morella, Reagan, Perot, Nader and many other candidates over the years.

This year I may vote for McCain.

I believe many democrats will do the same.
The reasoning-- We are sick and tired of the dirty politics of the Democrat front runners- we are sick of the bickering, the lies, the name calling and the mistaken belief that these two Democrats think they are qualified to be President.

I believe McCain would be a good transitional President- and maybe the Democrats will find someone four years from now more qualified and suitable to be President.

I can only hope.

Obama or Clinton

I am still undecided about the election. Do I vote for Obama, Clinton or should I cast a vote for Edwards to show some kind of protest.

Although Clinton has more experience than Obama- do either one of them really expect to change anything.

We know they can not withdraw the troops within 6 months, a year or even two years.

We know there will not be a national health policy- Capitol Hill has been trying to pass some kind of Universal Health plan for over 40 years.

We know that no matter who wins-- the majority of of us will go on with our lives with no noticeable differences.

So I plan to vote in the primary- but I won't make up my mind until I walk into that booth.
