Funny, but I doubt that the Obama administration will be bringing &#039;science&#039; to Interior. I think that they will probably be bringing religion instead.......</description>

It is not wrong to feel hate towards people that sold our Country out!  I feel same way. You are right. The ones that voted for that man, will be hurt.  In the mean time, I will be watching my back, and my friends also.  Then the idiots that we elect to do what is right. Just laugh at us.  There will be and soon some sh*t stirred up. People are getting fed up with this.  And now, Today a Federal Judge said that the people that were bilked from that Madoff dude. Has a right to be protected to recover their money!!! Who is going to pay for that now?</description>

		<description>Is that man alive?  Good lord, looks like he might kill over any minute!  I get so fed up with these old farts that are in office like this.  We need younger fresher minds.  This is getting to be ridiculous.  Old people cannot see both sides. They tend to not want changes.  Sorry not trying to sound like a obamibot.  They need to have short terms.</description>

		<description>You know, I read this stuff and my heart just breaks for this country. I love America, and want the best for her, but people who don&#039;t even know to come in out of the rain think they did a great thing by putting Obama into the white house. They laugh, and make jokes about how great everything is going to be and all the time never realizing that they&#039;re the ones that will be hurt the most. Ignorance I guess is bless the saying goes and I guess it is. I hate to say it but I&#039;m actually beginning to feel rumblings of hate toward those who voted for this man. I know it&#039;s wrong, but you know what, I&#039;m tired of always having to put up and pay for the ignorance of others. I&#039;m tired of people who don&#039;t give a damn about this country acting like the we owe them a living. And I&#039;m tired of our leaders not standing up and saying enough.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;&quot;From my point of view, they are the anti-Christ of the world,&quot; Salazar told the station.
Salazar, a first-term Democrat, said he was intending to call the Colorado Springs group &quot;un-Christian,&quot; a term he began applying last week after &lt;strong&gt;Focus attacked his stance on judicial nominations in the Senate.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
Salazar is a consistent liar and a hater of conservative Christians...along with any judge who might like to give LIFE a chance, even at birth.
You can not trust him. EVER.
He only won election because of the illegal alien voters he has allowed to infest Colorado for a decade.
Teamed with Soros, MeCha, La Raza he&#039;s a scary entity in any administration. 
Add in B Hussein.....we&#039;re really screwed.</description>

		<description>[...] Sen. Ken Salazar In At Interior?; **Update: Salazar Accepts Category: PPC, democratic national convention &#8212; elpresidente @ 6:53 pm   **Update--Denver Post reports that Salazar has accepted the offer, and speculates on the Dems that could line up to replace him:Names floated as possible successors include Denver Mayor John Hickenlooper; U.S. Reps. John Salazar, Ed Perlmutter and Diana DeGette; Denver Public Schools Superintendent Michael Bennet; outgoing state House Speaker Andrew Romanoff; and former U.S. Attorney Tom Strickland, among others.A Hickenlooper, DeGette, or Romanoff appointment would mean no trouble for the Democrats, given the skew of Denver, CD-1 or, in Romanoff&#039;s case, no seat in question. Appointing Ken&#039;s brother John or Perlmutter would open up CD-3 or CD-7 to a hotly contested race. Bennet is less well-known, and Strickland is a two-time Senate loser (to outgoing Sen. Wayne Allard, 1996 and 2002).Pols offers its own Salazar replacement analysis, arguing the case for Perlmutter or Romanoff.Earlier:Question mark because he hasn&#039;t been publicly offered the position and hasn&#039;t, it appears from the sources, formally accepted the offer yet.From the Rocky:Sen. Ken Salazar has been offered the position of Interior Secretary in President-elect Barack Obama&#039;s cabinet and could accept it within a matter of days, sources told the Rocky Mountain News on Monday.Salazar has long been considered a leading candidate for Interior Secretary, based in part on his past work leading the state Department of Natural Resources.On Monday, three Democratic sources who spoke on condition of anonymity said that Salazar had been offered the job, and there were conflicting accounts about whether he had yet officially accepted the position.Although one source said an announcement was a &quot;done deal,&quot; two others said he was still wrestling with a difficult decision as of Monday night.&quot;He&#039;s a very thoughtful guy, and this is a big decision,&quot; one source said. &quot;It&#039;s a great opportunity, but so is being in the Senate.&quot;Fellow RMAer Rocky Mountain Right has been following the rollercoaster yes-he-is-no-he-isn&#039;t for Sen. Salazar&#039;s potential appointment to Barack Obama&#039;s cabinet.Was Salazar worried about a possibly difficult primary and general election in 2010?Should he take up Obama&#039;s offer, we should expect Gov. &quot;Blue Ribbon&quot; Bill Ritter to create yet another panel/committee and ask for applications from any and all to be Salazar&#039;s replacement. Question to Democrats--is Ritter really capable of making any decision without the assistance of others? You know, actually &quot;governing&quot;?This also makes the 2010 election a virtual open seat. The competition for the GOP side just ratcheted up a notch, now that the Dems will be without a true incumbent. Looks like another expensive Senate race--and an extra seat for the Dems to defend without the Obama effect to help the ticket.Secretary Ken--bad for oil shale. [...]</description>

You know, actually &#8220;governing&#8221;?This also makes the 2010 election a virtual open seat. The competition for the GOP side just ratcheted up a notch, now that the Dems will be without a true incumbent. Looks like another expensive Senate race&#8211;and an extra seat for the Dems to defend without the Obama effect to help the ticket.Secretary Ken&#8211;bad for oil shale. [...]</p>

		<description>Looks like it is time to get the buggy ready. Need to find a horse, though, it may be tough - I understand there is nothing shadier than a used horse salesman, except, perhaps, a Chicago Democrat politician….

Remember Mrs. O&#039;Leary&#039;s cow. That fire produced many tons of carbon dioxide, and probably lots of monoxide as well!</description>

		<description>Barry O seems to be repeating the mistakes of the early Bush Administration--raiding the Senate and Statehouses to find experienced people for his Cabinet, because he doesn&#039;t have any among his closest advisors. 

Already he has taken two Democrat Governors (Napolitano and Richardson, who may now be tainted by pay-to-play scam alleged on another thread) and four Democrat Senators (himself, Biden, Hillary Clinton, and now Salazar). While Delaware is probably hopelessly blue, Illinois might be winnable after all the Blagojevich shenanigans, New York if Rudy Giuliani runs for the seat, and Colorado is definitely winnable for Republicans. 

While oil prices are low NOW, because speculators who bet on such things forecast low demand during an American recession, they could shoot back up again (as they did last summer) if exporting countries cut back production and/or a hurricane wipes out Gulf of Mexico offshore rigs and/or refineries and/or the American economy recovers, which would increase demand. If Salazar as Interior Secretary plays the green (stupid) card, Drill, Baby, Drill might be a good issue for the 2010 Congressional elections, with Sarah Palin leading the charge.</description>

		<description>One thing the liberals that push for electric cars seem to forget is that the batteries are made of metals that have to be mined and the processes for refining them produces greenhouse gasses. They also seem to forget CO2 is good for the trees and the organic veggies they love so much.</description>

		<description>Oh, that&#039;s just f-in great. What logical argument could there possibly be for opposing oil shale development? And, they&#039;re already pushing his brother for his replacement!?! Can we stop with the freaking nepotism appointments already? And that goes for every Kennedy in the country too!</description>

		<description>grdred944,

DO you have anything usefull to say on any thread?

You are well aware that Watt never said anything approaching that quote, but then you are a liberal.  Feelings matter more than facts, and your desperate attempts to prove you matter to someone other than your mother are really getting amusing.</description>
