Obama says he may back limited offshore drilling

Hm.. not liking this at all. So no matter who we get i the office, there is going to be drilling allowed. Of course it was already approved anyway. But all the same. I guess Big Oil will always get its way.

Not to change the subject, but this reminds me of Mccain, Obama and taxes. Mccain also loves to paint Obama as wanting to raise your taxes.
I love it how, now a days, republicans like to bust the fed budget thru the roof, then pretend no one will ever be accountable.
JFK once said ?the torch is passed to a new generation?. McBush famous words will be ?the torch is passed to a new generation, and while I?m at it, here?s your trillion zillion dollar national credit card? maxed out already. And notice too, the payment due date is a ?little? past due.?
So Mccain thinks he can paint Obama a tax raiser, and simply pass trillions of debt onto the kids?

Obama SHOULD simply say ?yes, there may be tax increases. And thank you Mr Bush for passing the buck.
Now I know why republicans are so anti abortion. Some future citizens will be needed to pay off their debt. Surely they would not be anti abortion for any ?moral? reason?

I see a trend here. Republicans love to bust the budget with war's and tax breaks for Rush Limbaugh, then point fingers at those liberals that are stuck with massive debt to pay off.
Thats a new twist...?

You're missing something here.....one of McCain's main goals is to bring fiscal responsibility to the white house. That means, NOT having to raise taxes by cutting out of control spending. Hard concept to grasp amirite? Tax breaks for the rich, if only they would have just gotten rid of welfare so 1/2 the obamabitches wouldn't be able to access internet anymore.

Gotta love all the Messiah's followers talking ALL sorts of shit about drilling...and now Obama pulls his all too predictable political expedient 180's and IT'S ALL GOOD OBAMA, WE LOVE YOU!!!!!!!

12? Are you fucking retarded? Do you always throw insults directed at specific posters? Go fuck yourself and guess again.

There are plenty of perfectly fine ways to express disagreement with another poster...this isn't one of them. Less personal attacks, if you don't mind.

Oh wow, this was witty! :laugh:

Pal, every single Republican since FDR has promised to cut spending in every single election. And how many have done it?

So who is fucking retarded? I'd say it's you and that's why I insulted you specifically. Maybe if you had the balls to take some responsibility for being such an idiot. Seriously. Both parties play their scams. Pretending you're better by spouting the oldest and most tired of one side's scams is just... well... are you 12 then? Either that or I gotta bridge for sale... cheap, I swear..

Ok, I'll just be so cynical as to not ever believe what a Republican says now and reserve any "hope and change". In fact, I'll turn into Air America now and take a listen to Randi Rhodes so I can educate myself.

People bitch when McCain votes against spending (some vet bills), then in turn bitch that he won't control spending.

You mean people bitch when McCain votes against spending for what he talks so he can vote for spending for what he condemns?

Fuck cynical, pal, you are naive. The biggest most wide-eyed Obamabot has got nothing on you.

And drop the partisan hack shit please. Politics is an intellectual endeavor, not a team sport. I can call both you and (your example) Randi Rhodes idiots in the same sentence without any contradiction.
If you can't get beyond Republican good, Democrats bad, then you're not even worth talking to. And if you don't like being mocked for your mental retardation in this regard, then get the fsck over to forums where your genetically-afflicted kind flock together.

You're too funny, in a kind of sad way. I can handle being mocked by an "intellectual" like yourself, it's like a retarded midget kicking me in the shins.

Back on point.

Obama is an empty suit who will say anything the polls tell him to. Proven.
BHO will lie and make up stories for soundbytes. Proven.

Public outrage over his 20 year relationship with Rev Wright --- Throw him under the bus
Public outrage over gas prices --- Jump on board with what Conservatives have been calling for

BHO says he would never let his children listen to music like Ludacris' new shit song....yet there is a recorded speech where he's laughing about how his 3 year old daughter loves Snoop Dogg's "Drop it like it's Hot" song.

BHO says he never said he would plan to withdraw troops from Iraq and not have permanent bases there....then he says he never said that, claiming he was always for withdrawals based upon performance and the situation on the ground.


You would think "intellectuals" would call him out on things like this...instead they're too busy building up their BHO Shrines and championing faux superiority.

Ask yourself, what have you proven here beyond your ability to spout your team's rhetoric? (Oh and I applaud you for that, have no doubt).

Well... beyond deflecting off the obvious that McCain is NOT going to cut spending like you said before... so your 'back on point' was really a deflection now wasn't it?

And that's all you really have now, isn't it? Your heroes are just as bad as the other guy's heroes. Wow... that IS impressive.

Then there's the rest of us who don't want 4 more years of the last 8 disasterous years which is why we will be voting for Obama over McCain.

Meh, it's hard when people tell me that --- as an intellectual -- I should be condemning the faults of just one side when --- as an intellectual -- I can see the same faults on the other side. Fuck, who am I supposed to call out? 😛

You you feel that he shouldn't consider it? I bet if it was old Methuseleh..err..McCain you'd be onboard with it.

*DING*

I finally decided that I am officially NOT voting this election cycle. As dumb as this sounds I'm taking a page from Brewster's Millions... NONE OF THE ABOVE

There is no one to vote FOR. I could vote against either candidate... neither one of them are conservatives. And I suppose that if I were to take that tack, or vote for the lesser of two evils, I'd take McCain. But I still wouldn't be voting FOR him.

So if I don't have anyone to vote FOR, why should I vote? To mitigate the damges? That's pretty crappy.

Obama is a wussie flip flopper who campaigns to the polls and got the nom because he wasn't a Clinton.
McCain is a war hero who FINALLY got that well deserved maverick recognition he's been begging for for the last decade.

Out of 300 million people how did we get these two? This is the best we can do? SRSLY?

As you may or may not know, once a thread hits the 40th or 50th post it rarely has the same flavor as the OP. I was responding to a specific post that was already off the OP. My response was in context to that post.

You cherry-picked a sentence fragment in my post and created a response out of that. Seems a bit cheesy to me.

Title: Obama says he may back limited offshore drilling

I think he is hoping if they drill deep and often enough they might find him a pair as he seems incapable of growing ones on his own.
