Obama’s holding a pair of gimmicks

The only thing OBLAHBLAH’s holding onto these days, is his arse. As the polls do a number on his hemorrhoids, he’s coming back down to earth.

Teddy Kennedy is a textbook case of a politician that would be on the street corner with a cardboard sign proclaiming that he “will legislate for food.”

Food????

“Increasing taxation on something you want more of (oil production) in order to subsidize something you want less of (oil use), is pretty stupid.”

Somebody in the McCain campaign needs to do a press release with these exact words. :) :) :)

Yes, and they should emphasize that their taxes are 3X as much as their profit. I don’t know why they don’t do a little PR work on that. If people are angry at the oil companies for making alot of money, they should be 3X as mad at Congress. And to add insult to injury, the Democrats have actually suggested raising the taxes at the pump, raising taxes on oil company profit, while also blocking a vote on opening up some increased supply opportunities, and blowing our strategic oil reserve for a quick, and expensive fix.

H. Obama made over a million last year, according to his tax records.

Question: Did H. Obama give away to the needy $750K of the million he made?

Answer: No.

Conclusion: Hypocrite.

Unless he’s willing to self-impose a “windfall” tax on himself, he should keep his mouth shut.

The Washington Post starts its editorial praising Barack Obama’s cap-and-trade proposals, which would cripple American energy production and manufacturing through burdensome quasi-taxation.

Yep. And how would McCain’s cap-and-trade proposals be different?

McCain really needs to synchronize his positions on energy.

Making Exxon surrender money that is now falling into its lap would not necessarily affect its longer-term plans or incentives.

.
Exxon-Mobil has a profit margin of around 9%. Coca-Cola has a margin of something like 20%, and Microsoft’s margin is over 30% – which one of these companies is making ‘obscene profits”? My answer: none of them, but to single out oil companies is not only stupid, it is also damaging to our economy.

The Washington Post starts its editorial praising Barack Obama’s cap-and-trade proposals, which would cripple American energy production and manufacturing through burdensome quasi-taxation.

Don’t worry. This fall, when the presidential debates are moderated by NBC, CBS, and PBS, those networks will make sure nobody asks these tough questions of Obama. (Yep, Variety reported yesterday that ABC was left out of the debates this year because they had the temerity to ask Obama tough questions! And, of course, Fox News was never in the running, because heaven forfend that a truly fair and balanced network ask any questions.)

Are those his two little gimmicks he’s pinching between his index fingers and thumbs? Or are they two little violins playing for all the little people who don’t like paying $4 for gas?

Yes, but we cannot drill our way out of this problem.

I think Paris said she supports getting drilled .

the video is on the internet, but not youtube

I heard that Paris Hilton supports Drilling. I think some videos on You Tube would confirm…

I think Paris said she supports getting drilled .

Not to mention decreasing the trade deficit and making the dollar stronger.

Cindy Munford on August 6, 2008 at 8:50 AM

yep, Oil tripling in cost so quickly has done more to hurt the dollar than anything else. These points should be brought up when this topic comes up along with New American Jobs, less Energy Dependent, etc…

Then the Obama rebate would have to be paid for through spending cuts, taxes on something else or borrowing.

Or just telling the Treasury to print more money, like the Clinton administration did.

These people are just clueless idiots.

I guarantee that Barry and his advisors have a very low opinion of Americans. I mean, it’s pretty damned obvious from Barry’s actions, re: going to Germany and kissing ass.

If I hear one more dem say….”we want oil companies to drill on leases already owned”……I may vomit! ugh

How about a tax on Islam, to fund Homeland Security operations?

That’s partly how the RoP forced conquered people to convert:

Jizzya or Poll Tax Part 57 Not only were the lands of the People of the Book OCCUPIED by the Muhammadan Arabs, they added Insult to Injury to permanently HUMILIATE them

It should be mandatory to run your own business before holding office.

It should be mandatory to have a real job/career on top of public office. The problem with creating a career political class is that these people have absolutely no skills. Teddy Kennedy is a textbook case of a politician that would be on the street corner with a cardboard sign proclaiming that he “will legislate for food.”

Democrats know all about business.

Mainly, how to bankrupt it through frivolous lawsuits.

And many Democrat daddies and hubbies built successful businesses.

So Democrats have all sorts of experience at giving people the business.

Sure would beat the pair of arugala he’s now holding, for sure.
