The republicans and Mccain are resorting to their dirty politics because they have no other course. They certainly cannot run on their records for the last 8 years! Thanks to the republicans we are in the worse shape we have ever been in, in my lifetime. How any intelligent person can still support them is beyond me. It boils down to, survive with Barack Obama or continue down the road to distruction with Mccain. It is sad to see that the polls are reflecting that Mccains trash

The pity of the situation is that despite his background in oil, Bush failed repeatedly to come up with a viable set of policies to reduce consumption and increase production. With the support of Republicans in Congress, Bush/Cheney managed to encourage increased consumption, but did little or nothing to increase production. Permitting additional leases in the Rockies was futile because most of them produce natural gas, not oil. The only gains under Bush/Cheney went to the large oil companies. As to Obama "stealing" ideas from Hillary, if he did, that would be a sign of good judgment, not a weakness. We'll see what Obama can come up with on Energy.

Now when he see's some one else getting any attention for idea's , well then, of course it becomes his by saying the following, "as I have said repeatedly before" and his flip/flops are just mere "refinements" How is this guy going to lead this country when he obviously has no original thoughts in his head.

Everything I have hear from him on oil is he has not a clue about oil independence being important to our National Security. He also has no real plan to get us off the dependence of forgein oil. Everything he has mentioned is many yrs down the road. People have been working on alturnitives for yrs. I knew a man in MT in the 70's that was working on using Quake and Aspin wood . No one in this country has come up with anything that is affordable in the 50 yrs they have worked on this. I'll be interested in hearing his plans but it will not change my mind on the no X on my ballot for Obama.

In the military, Senator McCain was told when to wake up, told when to sit down, told when to eat, when to march, when to go to the bathroom, and when to go to bed. Unless you are the one in charge, this is not a leadership training program. I am not sure that McCain can really benefit from the ". . . is he ready to lead?" question posed to O'Bama.

We watched this republican president create an atmosphere of fear and anger. We have then endured a disrespect for the American people as he took on his personal agenda without regard for the affects and effects those decisions had on the American people. Now as we hurt we have another republican that wants to inflict even more damage with no policies, no new ideas, no direction other than war and occupation of another sovereign country. The smears, slander and misrepresentation of the McCain Campaign and the Republican party are all character type attacks attached to direct lies or misrepresentation of facts. They then end with no new ideas or solutions to our many issues. I for one have had enough of the republican party. The fact is I'M NOT BETTER OFF THAN I WAS 8 YEARS AGO WHEN A DEMOCRAT WAS IN THE WHITE HOUSE!!!

Nor is it humourous that Senator Obama is comparied to Britney Spears and Paris Hilton, two young women that has serious personal issues and is implying that Senator Obama has no substance to his character.
