If the party big-wigs don't believe in the party, why should America? This is another sign that even the Republicans know that they have failed the nation and that it is high time we had a Democrat in the white house. They have failed America in every rerspect: they turned surplus into deficit, depleted our economy, sent our boys and girls to go and die in a war that they would not send their own children to, they were no where to be found when the Katrina disaster happened. Away with Senator McCain and his party. Vote Obama Good advice. If the party big-wigs don't believe in the party, why should America?

Are people really that dumb that they can't see that this party is going nowhere and has no new ideas. There answer to the oil addiction is to drill for more oil. They want more leases for offshore drilling yet they already have what about 6000 leases that are environmentally safe but they won't drill there. What a political play if I ever seen one. Pretending to give a solution. Even if you drill the oil first won't come in about 10yrs and second it will run out quickly so you are back to square one. And finally the oil found in America does not belong to Americans it belongs to the oil company that drill it since oil is not nationalize. Meaning that they can choose to export that oil to China or India which will most likely happen. Does it matter?

I watched the Senate debate on oil yesterday and the Democrats introduced at least 3 bills to try to help lower gas prices and the Republicans said no each time because their bill did not include offshore drilling. So this is it. If the Republicans cannot have offshore drilling they will block each and every energy bill that will help bring down gas prices or help to create alternative energy sources. This is there strategy. Don't fall for it. They are scam artists. How many times to they have to prove before people quit falling for these Rebublican lies. All they really care about is Big Oil and Big Corporations. Isn't it funny that John McCain received $1 million dollars from Texas oilmen right after he changed his position on offshore drilling.

The problem is that most americans don't understand that. When the Dems tried to block right-wing judges from being posted on the Supreme Court, all we heard on the evening news was that the Dems were obstructionists and that the Republicans were going to force votes by using the nuclear option. Now that the Republicans are blocking votes left and right, we don't hear anything about it. I partially blame the media for not covering this as a story, I also partially blame the Dems for not reminding the people that they're not threatening to take away the Republican's filibuster rights, but then again, I also blame the American people for not giving the Dems the majorities they needed in the first place to fix this country.

Than we can at least limit the creep of socialism and political correctness at the state border. Yesterday, the New Jersey Supreme Court ruled that religious jokes were a form of discrimination. I am not kidding, look it up. Closer and closer to Thoughtcrimes, courtesy of the marxist-leninist thinking on the left. Take back America? Indeed, take it and turn it into the socialist utopia. Don't let Eastern Europe's, Russia's, or Asia's history be a deterrent. This attorney is buying land in a solidly red state and stockpiling ammo while it is still legal.

Since he was the only candidate who actually had any real support and fund raising success. If the GOP had any sense about them and actually cared about winning they would have McCain drop out for medical reasons and nominate Ron Paul. Sounds like they want them to act like Ron Paul.

Furthermore, people who continue to support the current [R] debacle are a waste of space. Thus, what you will have at the RNC will be a celebration of the new kind of physics that has been inflicted on this country for the past 7 years: wasted space-time. I believe Einstein saw this possibility in his equations, but chose to reject it as being too bizarre. It is indeed ironic that such a new solution to Einstein's equations was not found by the highly trained and intelligent among us, but instead was brought about the imbeciles that populate this country. But let's face it, using imagery from Einstein's famous thought experiments, only an imbecile could have watched the train head off in the wrong direction the last 7 years ending up off the track and yet then come up with some sort of "wasted" space-time solution which tells them that not only did the train NOT go off the track, but it was never heading in the wrong direction in the first place! The RNC will be the biggest collection of idiots in one place ever. What the article is telling us is that even some [R]s know this, and they are trying to warn away some of their friends to not be part of the "wasted" spectacle. That there is hope for some [R]s is only vaguely comforting. For once, I agree with a [R]: the RNC will indeed be a "waste of time"!

Even with a majority we see what they did. Now there are more Democrats, but they have had to buck Bush's veto and do not have enough seats to overcome a filibuster. They have lacked guts in my opinion, but the more the seats go democratic along with a democratic president, we have the best scenario to finally get things done. FOR THE PEOPLE!
