H4y guyz! Let's all vote OBAMA!

You're right. Let's just continue pumping gas and forgo pursuing other energy options. :rolleyes:

Of course its going to take some time, but we've known this energy crunch was coming for some time and its pathetic that we're still in the same position.

I didn't say don't. I think we should do both. Produce more oil here, because as of now, we don't have hydrogen stations at every corner, and we'll need oil for the foreseeable future. You want to make an energy breakthrough, good, do it.

In the meantime, I don't want to pay $8/gallon.

Yeah way to go Republicans for causing it in the first place! Great blame tactic btw.. brush aside that it is the Republicans fault in your attempt to smear the Democrats for not being able to fix something they didn't cause.

How are Republicans at fault for high gasoline prices, SharpShooter?

probably should have thought about that before electing a president bent on carrying out an unjust war in the oil producing countries
 
This drilling canard is hilarious. I understand how oil companies must by champing at the bit to get at it now that oil is so expensive, but how you make the connection between their bottom line and your political interest? A $.05 reduction in price in 15 years doesn't get me excited like it does you.

You GOP Kool Aid drinkers are just fucking weird. What is the good part of this administration alleged to be?
 
I was going to start arguing but in all seriousness, I really believe that voting for Obama simply because the other candidate is John McCain is a good enough reason.

It will take a good 10 years to see the real benefits. Maybe another 15 to even make a 50 cent difference. You're absolutely right.

But do you honestly think we're going to make an energy breakthrough, create the infrastructure, and swap out everyone's modes of transportation within the next 30, even? That's laughable. You don't just replace everyone's car and switch out their gas stations with something cleaner over a 5 year period.

New domestic oil is slow. Its not an immediate solution. But it would still benefit us twice as fast as would only working on alt. energy.

Your argument that voting for obama would only cost us 5 cents is still retarded considering you were trying to argue he would lower gas prices? +5 cents is not lower, math whiz.

While I agree that it's ridiculous to think that drilling will magically yield lower prices, I think it's even more juvenile for the Dims to point the finger at the GOP and say, "LOL UR'E FAULT GAS PRIECS R SO HAI!!"

Party politics are a fucking insult to politico-economic philosophy. What's more astonishing is the amount of people that have the intellectual sloth that is required to buy into this shit.

seeing as how they have had the big chair for close to a decade, it's safe to say that they had more than a little bit to do with our current situation.

Seeing as how the dims have had Congress for most of this time, and they have voted in favor of everything that the Republicans are doing, I think it's rather infantile to point the finger at one particular party while not pointing your finger at the other.
 
Anytime anyone named Bush has taken office, the economy has gone into the shitter.

(Regardless of the Congress)
