Expect to be lied to like you've been lied to in the past 8 years. The Republicans have never been less known to acknowledge their faults even before Bush

Would you, along with everyone else out in the blogosphere, like to point out exactly what the fuck you're talking about? I've been hearing this from Hillary people for 2-3 months now and it's complete bullshit, especially if you were supporting Hillary, since their voting records have been pretty much identical.

Like who, Tony Rezko? Or are you talking about bullshit associations like William Ayers, people who aren't associates, but sat on boards with him, etc. I suppose that all of Ayers' students, since he's a college prof, would be unfit to be President as well?

A lot less so in the past 8 years. The transformation of John McCain since 2000 has resulted in a pandering, more hawkish individual simply because he had to pick up W's voters that defeated him in 2000. He's not the same person.
| quote: | | Energy alternatives taht the public will see in a year or less is what people want, The left so they feel like "carbon heroes", and the right cause it stops padding the pcokets of those who want to kil us (Saudi arabia, iran), here is something we can all agree on, but no plans available. |
You've got to be kidding. There are no worthwhile energy alternatives that will result in progress within a year. Do you think that this is just research and development that someone's been keeping locked up in a warehouse? This is the problem with this country - we're too impatient. Disregarding all moral issues with the war, it's the same reason that we shouldn't have gotten involved in Iraq. It's always the "get rick quick" and "short-term solutions" ideas that usually set us back rather than move us forward. We're not willing to invest in anything if we can't see results in 6 months and that's just idiotic.
The problem is that when we were dumping money into "defense" programs so that we could go on offensive wars, we've spent a minute fraction on alternative energy projects. When you don't have funds to pay researchers and scientists or to pay for equipment, you don't get results. Even in the 90s there were electric car prototypes and solar panels (on homes and cars), but they were prohibitively expensive or not as functional as needed because finding cheaper, more efficient methods wasn't affordable for the inventors.
| quote: | | If he steps into any debates with McCain, John will tear him and his in experience apart |
I'll believe this when I see it. McCain admits that he doesn't know economics very well and his main "strength," war isn't going so well in the eyes of the people.
| quote: | | It would be nice if they ran a policy election-no personal attacks-but not sure tahts possible in 2008 |
I'm sure these will be coming from Obama's people. He didn't use them to get rid of Hillary and the Republicans have been using the "Obama's a Muslim" and "Barack Hussein Obama" cards all along.
