Wow I remember seeing this when it aired, it is so obvious what these Washington bubbleheads agenda was and probably still is. War War War all the time, everybody gets rich!
The add is shrill and very unfair. It implies McCain is going to forcibly take the kid to war, through the draft I guess.
But, McCain hasn't proposed reinstting the draft and has clearly and repeatedly rejected a new draft. The Left is just twisting his comments (about needing a draft if WW III broke out) for partisan political purposes.
How ironic that it's the Dems, and ONLY the Dems, that have initiated legislation (Rangel) to reinstitute the draft. Where's the Left's outrage here?
I'm just pointing out the obvious...If McCain wins, "baby alex" will be 4 or 8 when his term is over. So is the implication that McCain will take Alex out of elementary school, give him a Fisher Price M-16 (I got to get one of those!) and air drop him in Al Anbar?
They're all WHORES - corporate media whoo-ahhs! They're trying to remain neutral on the ad but all fail miserably. They're not supposed to wear their hearts on their sleeves, don't you get it?? That's what Keith Olberman is for on Countdown.
That show is not passed off as news, it's a commentary show. The ad was extremely dishonest and, frankly, stupid. There could be up to 5 different Presidents by the time "baby Alex" is 18. Firstly, McCain never said we'd still be at war in 100 years, Secondly, he won't be President when Alex is 18, Thirdly, she doesn't have a say in what he does once he's 18, and Fourthly, you can still be against the war and admit that this ad was totally dishonest and designed to pray on emotions unfairly.
Yeah, no kidding. It's an all volunteer army. The kid will be 9 by the end of McCain's Presidency. There's nothing insiteful or honest about this ad. It is completely deceptive and is totally based on a false premise that should make her ashamed of herself. You can still be against the war and admit that the ad is a sham, designed to pray on emotions.
Obama keep his kids in a 20yr hate filled church! Full of Pastors, Priest,Dancing and yelling ,hate for the USA. Lets put a add together with the effect that must have on kids,Wifives and there out look on life. 57 states,Pastors,Priest,Board members,Fathers are fools,turn off our TV VCRs,Clinging to church,beer,and guns,and we eat to much,and he wont Drill here save NOW! NO!! OBAMA!!
Oh like the McCain pastor who will probably blame the lost of the Lakers on the fact that they allow gay marriage in California. please shut the fuck up!!!
I've pasted and sent your vulgar comment to You tube and the authority's.Pea brains like you think the F...words are fine in main stream America we Don't
we who mother fucker??? The president used the word shit and fuck on live TV and McCain used the word cunt to refer to his wife I suggest you go ahead and pass that along to who ever gives a flying fuck? Words that actually appear on the dictionary while you send ur e-mail to youtube, people are getting killed with bullets you helped create with your tax money how about that for MAIN STREAM AMERICA!!!
oh please sorry he is destroying McBush with contributions I would do the same and McSame would do the same shit. at least this lie not as retarded as voting 95% with Bush and his lying ignorant policies.
McCain has been the most vocal opponent of Bush his entire Presidency. Sorry, your story doesn't fly, calling him McBush. And why are you so angry? Are you really going to go through life so angry? You're hysterical, calling everyone names. Why? It's not good for you. Relax, breathe, take control of yourself.
57 states was a sarcastic comment about visiting alot of states. Even if we even beging drilling NOW it wont matter for 10 years from now when we are all broke and we dont have cars to drive since we wont be able to afford them since the Oil companies keep rising the gas prices at the rate they have when in 7 years we will be paying 10 dollars per gallon dumb ignorant fuck.
Oh, he was being sarcastic? Was Quayle when he mis-spelled "potatoe"? And, no, you're wrong, it won't take 10 years, we can do it faster than that, now. So what's you solution? To just complain? We have access to millions and millions of barrels of our own oil, and you'd rather see China get it off Florida? If we start drilling, prices will start to drop. It's called supply and demand. Add to the supply, prices go down. Economics 101. The oil companies make 4 cents profit per gallon pumped.
The actual Price of oil pb is around 60 or 70 dollars, oil companies have raised that to 140 pb as an excuse potential of "wars" or "conflicts" that will raise the price of oil meaning they are assuming. If a Doctor assumed you had cancer with out looking at the charts and evaluation papers will you still believe him??? The USA oil companies are not drilling in every place they are allowed to, yet they still want more places to drill NOT SOLVING the oil addiction NOT changing gas prices.
Why is it the oil companies job to solve our "addiction" to oil? And the oil companies don't set the price of barrels. That's not how the market works. It's not artificially high. It's supply and demand. The demand is alot higher now because of all the developing thrid world countries that didn't need gas 10 years ago but now do. When demand goes up but the supply stays the same, prices go up. The only chance to bring prices back down is to increase supply, which we can do but are choosing no to
I have seen cars running on watter, electricity, and cooking oil and this is just in the past few years with few resources and help from the goverment, Imagine if we used just 10% of what we are spending on a war in Iraq and the time we are spending debating on looking for alternatives instead of oil where could be designing specially in this great country with all the means, but Republicans want to pull us back to oil and not let us dream and hope anymore well fuck that.
OK, so, you suggest replacing 300,000,000 million cars in this country with what kind of engines? Do you plan on also replacing the millions of gas stations? Are you OK with polluting the environment even more with the tons upon tons of extra coal we'll have to burn to power electric cars that can only go about 100 miles before they are recharged? Say goodbye to any faraway vacations. And how would we replace all the existing cars? This process would take decades upon decades.
It takes one week to create one gas station is even easier to replace it, not only is it easy as fuck it will provide more employment, Cars are metal metal can be reused for buildings like power plants or even to use on better technology, also providing more employment shit with the money we are spending on Iraq we could already had develop millions of vehicles running that don't require oil at all. So lets be lazy and old school and KEEP ON DRILLING just 'cause its easy.
Who's going to build it? What will it be pumping? If it's an electric car, are people gonna pull up and charge their car for 6 hours? Is the government going to pay for it all? What's the fuel? Vegetable oil? We don't even have a replacement fuel and you think that every new imaginary-fuel station can be built in a week. Really? And all the gas stations torn down? And the oil companies put out of business? That would wipe out the retirement of thousands of shareholders. Is that your plan?
What a concept would be that every time you park you car you could charge it everywhere you go restaurants, your house, and charging stations. By my house a car crashed into a gas station and practically destroyed it, It took one week flat to replace it and even make it bigger, Must oil companies have started "looking" into other directions of technology and energy they know as soon as the corruptable republicans are out a new market will open, why do you think gas went up so fast. wake up!
It's not feesible. Our economy is dependent on trucking of our food and goods long distances. Truck drivers have to drive hundreds of miles a day. That have to be able to drive 12 to 15 hours at a time sometimes. Not possible with your so called electric cars, which can't even drive that fast. Not to mention the fact that our electricity production would have to go up 100 fold! Guess what, we would have to burn tons and tons more coal, which is also of limited supply and causes worse pollution
Whether you like it or not, we are decades away from differently fueled cars. It will cost an enormous amount of money and we would have to replace hundreds of millions of cars. It's not something that is in the forseeable future. Are best bet, (only bet, actually) is to try to reduce the current cost of oil, otherwise our economy will no longer be in a period of growth. We will be in constant recessions.
Well recession for us is like the recession that China and India suffered for years, now that Capitalism allowed this to happen don't and turn the game around don't complain specially when is what this country that has fought for and voted for all this years. But getting out of your problems the easy way tend to cause more problem in the future.
Are you actually saying you want us to go into recession? You want millions unemployed? You want businesses declaring bankruptcy and other countries surpassing our productivity?
I don't want it I wish I wasn't dealing it with it right now but the fact is that Capitalism works like that one side wins the other one loses. We have being in have being investing in drilling oil in the middle east its so Hypocritical that now things have shifted that is immoral and unsafe to allow other countries to invest in drilling in our land now??? So we can fuck around with other countries land but they cant touch ours??? maybe that is the real reason they don't like us huh?
So, you aren't American, then, you are a Globalist. You don't care about America being the best? You want other countries to be better than us? Plus, we aren't just "taking the oil" from the Middle East. Do you not see the way their leaders live? They live in palace that are acres large while their people are dirt poor. Those countries are making billions of dollars. But, I guess you are just one of these people that think America should "pay" for being the most prosperous country for so long.
I'm a human who has an American Citizenships, The market doesn't give a fuck what citizenship and nationality you are, Capitalist go to the best economy power which is not us at this moment, Guess what our own goverment has show us they don't give a fuck about us right now if they did we wouldn't be where we are right now and I'm including Republicans and Democrats
So, you're not American? Obviously you are really spoiled by the easy life you have lived and don't realize what citizens of most other countries go through. Some day, hopefully soon, you'll be happy and thankful to be an American.
I was born in Mexico City, and I moved here legally at the age of 14 I go back almost every year, the only reason I live here is that they pay more here for my career, if tomorrow they pay more in Mexico I would move back.
I love how you are crying about this addiction. Oil is a good thing, not bad like crack. Gas-powered vehicles were instrumental in helping make this the greatest, most prosperous nation the world has ever seen. It is the life-blood of our economy. I proudly drive my car every day. And, I wounder why you make more money here than in Mexico?
Ok first your making it seam as if I wanted to praise Mexico which I'm not. I would get paid more in Europe I just haven't found a way to get there. I'm no expert but doest the word have moving plates that might use that oil to move??? while Republicans and Democrat and even Liberals agree we need to get out from that addiction but your selfish ass wants to drive their car just 'cause you are proud, is not a mother fucking answer.
There is no alternative. We can still try to come up with something else but that is decades away at best. In the mean time, we must continue to use oil and should be trying to make it as inexpensive as possible so our economy, which affects the global economy, doesn't begin to go backwards.
Go to the Toyota website, USA car companies have stated they have stopped creating big cars and began investing in Hybrids, McCain two days ago did a photo up in front of 2 electric cars that didn't need shit he even offered a reward for a design of a battery car. I have 2 friends who drive cars that use cooking oil. Please just because you don't research or even read the news doesn't mean it doesn't exist
Do they have diesel engines or regular engines? Electric cars are not going to replace current cars. Period. There is no chance that they could be used on 18 wheelers or for anything longer than a trip accross town.
How fucking retarded are you??? ok the less oil regular cars use the more there is for the 18 wheelers. This is not about getting rid of oil completely is about consuming less saving more, control the usage. Is not about getting rid of oil as a source of energy. Depending only on oil for this country to work is like a smoker saying they cannot function with out 5 cigarettes every day.
That is not what you've been saying. You're changing your story. That is not the point of all your angry diatribes against me for the last 2 days. I'm glad I'm persuading you that I'm right, though. I'm glad you finally concede that we do need to use oil for the forseeable future. Thank you for agreeing with me.
If we drill in the USA that oil is going into the market not into our gas stations. Even if we drill today it will take 10 years, and in 5O years that oil will be gone if we continue using the same type of cars. or we could invest into Hybrids and out there Electric cars that oil will last us 200 years
First of all, it WON'T take 10 years. Second of all, if we started drilling in 96 before Clinton vetoed it, we wouldn't be where we are now. Third of all, why can't we do both? Why can't we drill AND develop new technology? The roughneckes doing the drilling aren't the same as the egg-head scientists doing the developing of new tech? Explain why we can't do both. I haven't heard a rational expalnation yet that wasn't some emotional, phylisophical plea to others emotions, yet
You're the one that wants to abandon the leaps and bounds we've made and in transportaion in the last 100 years and scrap it. You're the one who just admitted you'd like to go back to the Middle Ages with taking the side of suicidal terrorists worldview. Do you threaten everyone you talk to like this?
And it's not even a matter of how long it would take from start to finish. The mere fact that we were seen doing it would affect the futures specuations because they would see the supply increasing.
Every country is investing in other alternatives from oil India China France Germany everyone except us we are actually Behind the 21st century countries at this point.
Even if every new car made today was a hybrid from now on, it'd take 10 to 20 years to get everyone in this country to drive one and replace their old cars. Or do you want the government to buy them for poor people or the middle class. And how do you plan on forcing China not to use cars that run on gas? We could replace all our cars in 20 years but if other countries don't, we'd be stuck with all these ugle, shoebox looking cars while China increases the amount of cars by 20% a year.
Oh so this is about nice cars now? Is about your nice car you want to drive honestly this is why terrorist hate us selfish fucks like you who have no vision and lack common fucking sense or even economic idea of what you are talking about.
Now I deserve to die by the hands of a terrorist because I refuse to go backwards in time. Thanks for all but threatening my life because you disagree with me. I've been completely civil with you, yet you continue to pepper your senseless diatribes with eff-word and name calling. Now, you can understand why a terrorist would want to blow me up. You are entirely classless and I feel I've wasted my time with you. However, I did get you to admit that we do need to use oil for the forseeable future.
Have fun driving around in your shoebox Prius. I've officially won the argument. You were forced to give up and resort to name-calling and death-threats!!!! Don't worry, we should have something new in about 20 years, until then, I'm sure you'll use a bicycle or a horse and buggy...
Crack is made from coke is made from a plant, and guess what they use to make those leafs into coke??? Gasoline that come from OIL!!! dumb ignorant fuck.
The first sign of someone losing an argument is resorting to swearing and name calling. The point is, you're trying to equate crack and oil. I reject your premise that oil itself is inherently evil and to use it is an "addiction". This countries boom of prosperity is directly proportional to our inventing and eventual widespread use of internal-combustion engines. Because of this prosperity we have, as a nation, been able to advance mankind and do a lot of good for the world.
You fail to realize that the prosperity has shifted to Europe and Asia, just because most big American companies are investing in those markets does not mean we regular Americans Citizens are gaining anything out of it. And a addiction is a dependent of a substance or a compulsion, does this country need oil? yes but if we can invest on cars that don't need it as much why would we want to waste our oil in everyday driving??? its fucking stupid.
So, you want this nation to be less prosperous? OK, I understand. America has had too much for too long and you want Europe and Asia to catch up. Got it. Are you going to demand developing countries in Asia not use gas, too, or just us?
How fucking ignorant are you honestly??? how is it what I want the reason of a question??? how are the facts not getting inside your head?? If I could do what I wanted I would be rich and I wouldn't give a fuck how much the price of gas is. Asia and Europe are more prosperous economically than the USA not because of what I want or what I don't want. China is also looking for alternative cars that dont use oil so is Japan, so is Germany, and so is every car developing country out there.
Europe is a whole group of countries. Asia is a whole group of countries. I never said there's anything wrong with looking for new sources of energy, we SHOULD be doing that. Why shouldn't we also be getting access to all the oil we possibly can?
If we start drilling here do you think other countries like china or India wont want to buy that oil too? don't you see that they will do what we have being doing to the middle east. You really believe USA oil companies are only gonna drill for America and sell to the USA market???
They're (China mostly) the reason for most of the increased demand. It's a global market. There's nothing we can do about that. Demand is starting to go up dramatically and about the only way to lower prices is to increase supply. Like I said, we are decades away from any other form of transportation that will not use conventional gasoline, so we really have no choice.
There's nothing we can do to stop 3rd world countries from slowly joining us in the 21st century and to do that, they will need more and more cars and gas every year. What you're suggesting is keeping prices for the US high while the rest of these countries catch up with us. You want the US economy to slow down and go backwards while the rest of the world catches up to us. Sorry, I don't want that. I prefer living in the most prosperous country the world has ever seen, with the most opportunity
Hey well you stay in your bubble and keep thinking if we drill more oil will stay a 21st century when even China is investing more money in other alternatives of energy than we do.
I'm not in a bubble, I'm living in reality which you are not. Go ahead and drive around in your Wesson-powered car. We can both drill and develop new technology. For some reason, you want us to drill. You don't want to increase supply, which to me, says you don't care how high gas prices are. Sorry, I'm not following you back to the 19th century. Good luck in your "bubble"
Make up your mind, are pro-America or anti-America? So you want this country to thrive or are you a World Citizen who just "happens" to live here? Do you care about America being the best or are you a Globalist?
Plus, there's no such thing as a water-powered car. It's a "theoretical concept". The point is, even when there is a new, workable engine, we'd have to replace all existing cars, which would take decades. What will you do for the people who are too poor to buy a new car? Does the government buy everyone a new car? Then, we would need build imaginary-alternative-fueling stations for you "endless" supply of this imaginary-fuel. It's not something that can be done over night.
The car is there there the frame is there all you have to do is replace the engine, and the energy source or the fuel. Its gonna take a decade to lower gas prices regardless which road we take, the Ideas and the mock ups ideas are there all they need is the attention and the money to develop meaning to GROW, oil doesn't grow oil is only drilled.
All we have to do is replace the engine of what, 300 million or so cars? That's it? At like, what, $1,000 a pop? That's how much an engine now costs. Could you imagine replacing every single engine in America with your new imaginary-fuel engine? Who would pay for that. That would be up in the trillions of dollars, wouldn't it? It's just not possible. Any new car would have to be phased in gradually. It would take decades. It took the current car nearly 50 years before they became common to
People replace cars like they change underwear now a days, now Imagine the government helps pay for most of those changes it would be less than $2 trillion which is what we have spent on the Iraq war. The iPod came out less than a year later Zune and other MP3 players came out with versions close to the iPod, there is a demand for this cars. 50 years is what it will take to drain this country dry of oil, that instead of using for everyday travel we could use in farms to feed us.
You want the government to pay for everyone getting a new car? Really? Wow, I guess you really don't like capitalism. So you're a socialist? OK, now I get you.
The funny part is that we have access to our oil, so much so that the USA oil companies haven't even drilled in all the ares that are allow to drill out of today. Capitalism and Socialism have both their good ideas and the bad ideas. You really don't get me 'cause you are narrow minded that just because I'm pointing out the bad side of capitalism u automatically think I'm a socialist In my opinion a mixture of the two is the answer but whatever that is not even important right now.
Show me an example of a great socialist nation in the history of the world. Also, I love how you just dropped your alternative(imaginary) fuel argument. You finally just realized how stupid and far away we are from it.
there is no great country just like there is no perfect person, but China is kicking our ass economically which is why the market has shifted and that is why Capitalism has moved directions of investing in china and India the next growing economies, when we were the super power economically China and India were in the same place we are now.
We aren't a great country? We feed the world, we give more foreign aid than any other country in history. People are literally dying to get in our country. There are millions of illegal immigrants that risk their lives to get here every year. Why do you think that is? Meanwhile, people are dying to get out of China. They are a ruthles, murderous regime where the people have little to no rights and families are forced to kill any female babies because of the one child limit imposed. Sound good?
I think I'm wasting my time with you. You are obviously very young and don't realize how lucky you are to be here. Some day you'll understand. I wish you the best and maybe some day in 40 years we'll get in a car accident with our fish-head powered cars.
Please I know how lucky I am that is why I don't want to see this country go to shits just because dumb fucks like you think that getting out of an addiction is to keep smoking the drug.
no but that has nothing to do with the subject, I do have friends in Iraq fighting for their life just because Bushy wanted more of the oil drug. I also have friends who know its more expensive to drill in the USA than to drill in Mexico or any where in the world. If we are ok with paying the salaries for drilling right here GO AHEAD, I'll rather use my money to get out from the addiction.
Are you also OK with adding to Global Warming by all the increased coal burning we'd be doing if we somehow, miracualously swicthed all cars to electric? Do you have any idea how much more electricity we'd have to harness for the skyrocketing demand that would cause?
Yes, it does. But your new source of fuel will create just as much so called "global warming". If we could transfer all cars today to electric cars that we'd have to "charge" overnight, do you have any idea how much our need to "create" electricity would skyrocket? Then, we'd fall right back to the problem of burning 100's of times more coal, which would lead to excess pollution, not to mention that we don't have an infinite supply of coal, either, and we'd be right back at square one, again
There is no alternative fuel, that's what you're not getting. It would be more than $2 trillon. It would be replacing every car in the US, every gas station, putting oil companines out of business, and producing the new imaginary-fuel that doesn't exist. What you are calling for is not something that can or will happen. It's the fantasy of a child.
And no, we haven't spent $2 trillion in Iraq. We have spent $600 billion on Afghanistan and Iraq, which, I concede, is insanely too much, but that has nothing to do with what you are saying.
bullshit but even if it was true Imagine what we could have done with $600 billion dollars?
If we allow a our own companies drill our oil do you think we are the only ones going to be using that oil? do you even know the difference of price drilling in other countries to drilling here??? its about 100% more expensive to drill here that anywhere in the world, but we will still have to sell at market price.
So we should allow China to just take our oil? Is that your solution? Is it time for us to "pay" for being a rich country? I'm still waiting for your alternative(imaginary) fuel. Oh yeah, if we spent $2 trillion, we'd have it. You're not dealing with reality.
There is no other alternative. We need to have access to our own oil, period, so we are less dependent on countries that want to harm us or don't care if their citizens do. We are sitting on top of millions of barrels of oil that we are not allowed access to by your Congress.
I live in Florida and China is not getting Oil from Florida they are getting Oil from Cuba. I mean sorry My Dad worked for PEMEX supply and demand is bullshit when you are trying to sell any product that is in danger of stop being the main source of fuel for the world. I personally don't give a fuck where China gets their oil 'cause I live in the USA where we can create cars that don't need oil, dropping the demand.
Cuba is only 90 miles from Florida. Ever see There Will Be Blood? "I drink your milkshake!!!!" They'll be able to suck up all our oil. If you don't want us drilling for our own oil then you have no right to complain about $10 a gallon gas prices. You have no right to ever bitch about it. If you're willing to let millions and millions of barrels sit below the surface of our land then you must be fine with what you pay at the pump.
Sorry I live in the present not in the past, where oil was the only source of energy. You have being voting for Capitalism all this years and now that you are getting the back end of it you have no right to bitch today!
Yes I do have a right to bitch. If Bill Clinton didn't veto drilling in ANWR in 96, we'd have access to that oil now. Prices would be no where near as hi as they are now.
I usually think of republicans as being ill-informed and, well, pretty dumb. I would like to publicly thank people like "danthevinylman" who continue to prove me right. You have done a fine job of making almost no sense, therefore invalidating any "point" you might have had. Your stupidity truly amazes me.
I get the truly amazed part ,But the stupidity part is on YOU!! I'm not a Republican!!Obama kept his family in a hate filled church and your dumb "if you really think this yelling hate" for the USA did not get heard by these children.A baby can even hear "the out side world" from its Mothers womb. NO!! OBAMA!! any
Honey, you have a lot to learn. Racism is alive and well and black folks continue to be damaged in fundamental ways by white America. I believe that most of what the reverend said, while difficult for white ppl to hear, was actually right on the money. Just to be clear, I am white myself. I also consciously take an ANTI-racism stance. If those sweet daughters of Obama's feel the hate from anyone, it is from ignorant ppl like yourself who can't wake up and smell the oppression.
Even Dick Chaney is DNA POSITIVE with your man OBAMA, you might check, YOU all could have FAMILY TIES..
'Wake up its not about color or race" ITS about REV. WRIGHT ,Bill Ayers AND anyone else who has hate for our country .People who hate, talk about it, try blow it up! Must be stuck on stupid,CAUSE This is the only and best country on earth. Why sit in church 20yrs learning hate for it? JUST leave "NO!!OBAMA<S RED ,YELLOW,BLACK,OR WHITE"!!NO CHANEY,s either
I have no idea what you are trying to say. I would assume that English was your second language if you hadn't said that "this is the only and best country on earth." Actually (please recognize my intended patronizing sarcasm here) there are in fact other countries in the world. You have done a fine job again of demonstrating good ol' American ethnocentricity which is at the core of racism. Challenging the cultural norm by speaking honestly about one's marginalization is an act of patriotism.
McCain's "100 year war" comment was poorly worded, as was Obama's "bitter/guns/religion" comment. It would be nice if both campaigns could leave it at that and discuss substance.
John McCain never said "100 year war". The clip is on youtube. Someone asked him if troops will be in Iraq 10 years from now and he said, "Why not make it 100?" That's what he said.
Oh so its OK for Republicans and Conservatives to twist words and give a spin on any comment Democrat and Liberals say but its NOT OK when we play by their book. Go cry me a mother fucking river maybe it can be made out of oil then the republicans will kiss your ass to keep the addiction going.
IF you notice most reporters don't report the up to date facts on anything. Just b/c Mr. McCain fought in vietnam ( and crashed 5 planes while at home and graduated at the bottom of his class) doesn't mean that he understands the History of the region or cares too. He said that our policy has nothing to do with why people hate us, like overthrowing the Iranian govt, helping Israel (not all Jews) take other people's land etc.
Check youtube for 2 minutes...and you will find MSNBC clips that accuse the whole network of being liberal...here, they are right wing and too conservative...truth is, they are what they are..a bunch of people talking, and everyone else assigns whatever characteristics they want to them.
Perfect title for this vid. I'm surprised at how out of touch they are. A cheap shot? McCain has clarified? Are you kidding me? I think it's a brilliant add - simple, clear, and effective. It is also honest. McCain is a war monger and the soldiers of war have to come from somewhere. Obviously the MSNBC folks haven't really thought about who is going to replenish those fallen troops... which means that subconsciously believe it will not be their kids... and they're probably right.
People can not handle the truth. Patriotism is nothing more than a tool of manipulation. Conservatives are nothing but puppets that are used and they don't even value themselves. they create and raise the future marines. They are disposable and they are proud of it.
Ummm. where have you been Mr. McCain DID indeed in PA use it about a week ago. 100 years he said he wouldn't have a prob with if we weren't getting killed BUT this shows a misunderstanding of the region and why they even hate America.
Don't Seem to remember the MSM getting too upset when Bush Co. exploited a little girl who lost her mom on 9-11 to get elected. THAT is pretty fukt considering he's exploited that event to cause the deaths of WAY more people!
Fucking right wing media in Amerika will SINK that country, and maybe the rest of us with it!
Wow I remember seeing this when it aired, it is so obvious what these Washington bubbleheads agenda was and probably still is. War War War all the time, everybody gets rich!

Franklin Roosevelt, when you say America will still be in Germany in 2008, were you counting on baby alex (DOB 4/12/1944),because you can't have him.
Rompcom 3 years ago
I'm just pointing out the obvious...If McCain wins, "baby alex" will be 4 or 8 when his term is over. So is the implication that McCain will take Alex out of elementary school, give him a Fisher Price M-16 (I got to get one of those!) and air drop him in Al Anbar?

That show is not passed off as news, it's a commentary show. The ad was extremely dishonest and, frankly, stupid. There could be up to 5 different Presidents by the time "baby Alex" is 18. Firstly, McCain never said we'd still be at war in 100 years, Secondly, he won't be President when Alex is 18, Thirdly, she doesn't have a say in what he does once he's 18, and Fourthly, you can still be against the war and admit that this ad was totally dishonest and designed to pray on emotions unfairly.

jeffbatt2000 3 years ago
57 states was a sarcastic comment about visiting alot of states. Even if we even beging drilling NOW it wont matter for 10 years from now when we are all broke and we dont have cars to drive since we wont be able to afford them since the Oil companies keep rising the gas prices at the rate they have when in 7 years we will be paying 10 dollars per gallon dumb ignorant fuck.
gallomex13 3 years ago
Oh, he was being sarcastic? Was Quayle when he mis-spelled "potatoe"? And, no, you're wrong, it won't take 10 years, we can do it faster than that, now. So what's you solution? To just complain? We have access to millions and millions of barrels of our own oil, and you'd rather see China get it off Florida? If we start drilling, prices will start to drop. It's called supply and demand. Add to the supply, prices go down. Economics 101. The oil companies make 4 cents profit per gallon pumped.
jeffbatt2000 3 years ago
The actual Price of oil pb is around 60 or 70 dollars, oil companies have raised that to 140 pb as an excuse potential of "wars" or "conflicts" that will raise the price of oil meaning they are assuming. If a Doctor assumed you had cancer with out looking at the charts and evaluation papers will you still believe him??? The USA oil companies are not drilling in every place they are allowed to, yet they still want more places to drill NOT SOLVING the oil addiction NOT changing gas prices.
gallomex13 3 years ago
Why is it the oil companies job to solve our "addiction" to oil? And the oil companies don't set the price of barrels. That's not how the market works. It's not artificially high. It's supply and demand. The demand is alot higher now because of all the developing thrid world countries that didn't need gas 10 years ago but now do. When demand goes up but the supply stays the same, prices go up. The only chance to bring prices back down is to increase supply, which we can do but are choosing no to

jeffbatt2000 3 years ago
I have seen cars running on watter, electricity, and cooking oil and this is just in the past few years with few resources and help from the goverment, Imagine if we used just 10% of what we are spending on a war in Iraq and the time we are spending debating on looking for alternatives instead of oil where could be designing specially in this great country with all the means, but Republicans want to pull us back to oil and not let us dream and hope anymore well fuck that.
gallomex13 3 years ago
OK, so, you suggest replacing 300,000,000 million cars in this country with what kind of engines? Do you plan on also replacing the millions of gas stations? Are you OK with polluting the environment even more with the tons upon tons of extra coal we'll have to burn to power electric cars that can only go about 100 miles before they are recharged? Say goodbye to any faraway vacations. And how would we replace all the existing cars? This process would take decades upon decades.
jeffbatt2000 3 years ago
It takes one week to create one gas station is even easier to replace it, not only is it easy as fuck it will provide more employment, Cars are metal metal can be reused for buildings like power plants or even to use on better technology, also providing more employment shit with the money we are spending on Iraq we could already had develop millions of vehicles running that don't require oil at all. So lets be lazy and old school and KEEP ON DRILLING just 'cause its easy.
gallomex13 3 years ago
Who's going to build it? What will it be pumping? If it's an electric car, are people gonna pull up and charge their car for 6 hours? Is the government going to pay for it all? What's the fuel? Vegetable oil? We don't even have a replacement fuel and you think that every new imaginary-fuel station can be built in a week. Really? And all the gas stations torn down? And the oil companies put out of business? That would wipe out the retirement of thousands of shareholders. Is that your plan?
jeffbatt2000 3 years ago
What a concept would be that every time you park you car you could charge it everywhere you go restaurants, your house, and charging stations. By my house a car crashed into a gas station and practically destroyed it, It took one week flat to replace it and even make it bigger, Must oil companies have started "looking" into other directions of technology and energy they know as soon as the corruptable republicans are out a new market will open, why do you think gas went up so fast. wake up!
gallomex13 3 years ago
It's not feesible. Our economy is dependent on trucking of our food and goods long distances. Truck drivers have to drive hundreds of miles a day. That have to be able to drive 12 to 15 hours at a time sometimes. Not possible with your so called electric cars, which can't even drive that fast. Not to mention the fact that our electricity production would have to go up 100 fold! Guess what, we would have to burn tons and tons more coal, which is also of limited supply and causes worse pollution
jeffbatt2000 3 years ago
Whether you like it or not, we are decades away from differently fueled cars. It will cost an enormous amount of money and we would have to replace hundreds of millions of cars. It's not something that is in the forseeable future. Are best bet, (only bet, actually) is to try to reduce the current cost of oil, otherwise our economy will no longer be in a period of growth. We will be in constant recessions.
jeffbatt2000 3 years ago
Well recession for us is like the recession that China and India suffered for years, now that Capitalism allowed this to happen don't and turn the game around don't complain specially when is what this country that has fought for and voted for all this years. But getting out of your problems the easy way tend to cause more problem in the future.

jeffbatt2000 3 years ago
I don't want it I wish I wasn't dealing it with it right now but the fact is that Capitalism works like that one side wins the other one loses. We have being in have being investing in drilling oil in the middle east its so Hypocritical that now things have shifted that is immoral and unsafe to allow other countries to invest in drilling in our land now??? So we can fuck around with other countries land but they cant touch ours??? maybe that is the real reason they don't like us huh?
gallomex13 3 years ago
So, you aren't American, then, you are a Globalist. You don't care about America being the best? You want other countries to be better than us? Plus, we aren't just "taking the oil" from the Middle East. Do you not see the way their leaders live? They live in palace that are acres large while their people are dirt poor. Those countries are making billions of dollars. But, I guess you are just one of these people that think America should "pay" for being the most prosperous country for so long.
jeffbatt2000 3 years ago
I'm a human who has an American Citizenships, The market doesn't give a fuck what citizenship and nationality you are, Capitalist go to the best economy power which is not us at this moment, Guess what our own goverment has show us they don't give a fuck about us right now if they did we wouldn't be where we are right now and I'm including Republicans and Democrats

I love how you are crying about this addiction. Oil is a good thing, not bad like crack.

And, I wounder why you make more money here than in Mexico?

Ok first your making it seam as if I wanted to praise Mexico which I'm not. I would get paid more in Europe I just haven't found a way to get there. I'm no expert but doest the word have moving plates that might use that oil to move??? while Republicans and Democrat and even Liberals agree we need to get out from that addiction but your selfish ass wants to drive their car just 'cause you are proud, is not a mother fucking answer.
gallomex13 3 years ago
There is no alternative. We can still try to come up with something else but that is decades away at best. In the mean time, we must continue to use oil and should be trying to make it as inexpensive as possible so our economy, which affects the global economy, doesn't begin to go backwards.
jeffbatt2000 3 years ago
Go to the Toyota website, USA car companies have stated they have stopped creating big cars and began investing in Hybrids, McCain two days ago did a photo up in front of 2 electric cars that didn't need shit he even offered a reward for a design of a battery car. I have 2 friends who drive cars that use cooking oil. Please just because you don't research or even read the news doesn't mean it doesn't exist
gallomex13 3 years ago
Do they have diesel engines or regular engines? Electric cars are not going to replace current cars. Period. There is no chance that they could be used on 18 wheelers or for anything longer than a trip accross town.
jeffbatt2000 3 years ago
How fucking retarded are you??? ok the less oil regular cars use the more there is for the 18 wheelers. This is not about getting rid of oil completely is about consuming less saving more, control the usage. Is not about getting rid of oil as a source of energy. Depending only on oil for this country to work is like a smoker saying they cannot function with out 5 cigarettes every day.
gallomex13 3 years ago
That is not what you've been saying. You're changing your story. That is not the point of all your angry diatribes against me for the last 2 days. I'm glad I'm persuading you that I'm right, though. I'm glad you finally concede that we do need to use oil for the forseeable future. Thank you for agreeing with me.
jeffbatt2000 3 years ago
If we drill in the USA that oil is going into the market not into our gas stations. Even if we drill today it will take 10 years, and in 5O years that oil will be gone if we continue using the same type of cars. or we could invest into Hybrids and out there Electric cars that oil will last us 200 years
gallomex13 3 years ago
First of all, it WON'T take 10 years. Second of all, if we started drilling in 96 before Clinton vetoed it, we wouldn't be where we are now. Third of all, why can't we do both? Why can't we drill AND develop new technology? The roughneckes doing the drilling aren't the same as the egg-head scientists doing the developing of new tech? Explain why we can't do both. I haven't heard a rational expalnation yet that wasn't some emotional, phylisophical plea to others emotions, yet

Even if every new car made today was a hybrid from now on, it'd take 10 to 20 years to get everyone in this country to drive one and replace their old cars. Or do you want the government to buy them for poor people or the middle class. And how do you plan on forcing China not to use cars that run on gas? We could replace all our cars in 20 years but if other countries don't, we'd be stuck with all these ugle, shoebox looking cars while China increases the amount of cars by 20% a year.

Crack is made from coke is made from a plant, and guess what they use to make those leafs into coke??? Gasoline that come from OIL!!! dumb ignorant fuck.
gallomex13 3 years ago
The first sign of someone losing an argument is resorting to swearing and name calling. The point is, you're trying to equate crack and oil. I reject your premise that oil itself is inherently evil and to use it is an "addiction". This countries boom of prosperity is directly proportional to our inventing and eventual widespread use of internal-combustion engines. Because of this prosperity we have, as a nation, been able to advance mankind and do a lot of good for the world.
jeffbatt2000 3 years ago
You fail to realize that the prosperity has shifted to Europe and Asia, just because most big American companies are investing in those markets does not mean we regular Americans Citizens are gaining anything out of it. And a addiction is a dependent of a substance or a compulsion, does this country need oil? yes but if we can invest on cars that don't need it as much why would we want to waste our oil in everyday driving??? its fucking stupid.
gallomex13 3 years ago
So, you want this nation to be less prosperous? OK, I understand. America has had too much for too long and you want Europe and Asia to catch up. Got it. Are you going to demand developing countries in Asia not use gas, too, or just us?
jeffbatt2000 3 years ago
How fucking ignorant are you honestly??? how is it what I want the reason of a question??? how are the facts not getting inside your head?? If I could do what I wanted I would be rich and I wouldn't give a fuck how much the price of gas is. Asia and Europe are more prosperous economically than the USA not because of what I want or what I don't want. China is also looking for alternative cars that dont use oil so is Japan, so is Germany, and so is every car developing country out there.
gallomex13 3 years ago
Europe is a whole group of countries. Asia is a whole group of countries. I never said there's anything wrong with looking for new sources of energy, we SHOULD be doing that. Why shouldn't we also be getting access to all the oil we possibly can?
jeffbatt2000 3 years ago
If we start drilling here do you think other countries like china or India wont want to buy that oil too? don't you see that they will do what we have being doing to the middle east. You really believe USA oil companies are only gonna drill for America and sell to the USA market???
gallomex13 3 years ago
They're (China mostly) the reason for most of the increased demand. It's a global market. There's nothing we can do about that. Demand is starting to go up dramatically and about the only way to lower prices is to increase supply. Like I said, we are decades away from any other form of transportation that will not use conventional gasoline, so we really have no choice.
jeffbatt2000 3 years ago
There's nothing we can do to stop 3rd world countries from slowly joining us in the 21st century and to do that, they will need more and more cars and gas every year. What you're suggesting is keeping prices for the US high while the rest of these countries catch up with us. You want the US economy to slow down and go backwards while the rest of the world catches up to us. Sorry, I don't want that. I prefer living in the most prosperous country the world has ever seen, with the most opportunity
jeffbatt2000 3 years ago
Hey well you stay in your bubble and keep thinking if we drill more oil will stay a 21st century when even China is investing more money in other alternatives of energy than we do.
gallomex13 3 years ago
I'm not in a bubble, I'm living in reality which you are not. Go ahead and drive around in your Wesson-powered car. We can both drill and develop new technology. For some reason, you want us to drill. You don't want to increase supply, which to me, says you don't care how high gas prices are. Sorry, I'm not following you back to the 19th century. Good luck in your "bubble"
jeffbatt2000 3 years ago

jeffbatt2000 3 years ago
Plus, there's no such thing as a water-powered car. It's a "theoretical concept". The point is, even when there is a new, workable engine, we'd have to replace all existing cars, which would take decades. What will you do for the people who are too poor to buy a new car? Does the government buy everyone a new car? Then, we would need build imaginary-alternative-fueling stations for you "endless" supply of this imaginary-fuel. It's not something that can be done over night.
jeffbatt2000 3 years ago
The car is there there the frame is there all you have to do is replace the engine, and the energy source or the fuel. Its gonna take a decade to lower gas prices regardless which road we take, the Ideas and the mock ups ideas are there all they need is the attention and the money to develop meaning to GROW, oil doesn't grow oil is only drilled.
gallomex13 3 years ago
All we have to do is replace the engine of what, 300 million or so cars? That's it? At like, what, $1,000 a pop? That's how much an engine now costs. Could you imagine replacing every single engine in America with your new imaginary-fuel engine? Who would pay for that. That would be up in the trillions of dollars, wouldn't it? It's just not possible. Any new car would have to be phased in gradually. It would take decades. It took the current car nearly 50 years before they became common to
jeffbatt2000 3 years ago
People replace cars like they change underwear now a days, now Imagine the government helps pay for most of those changes it would be less than $2 trillion which is what we have spent on the Iraq war. The iPod came out less than a year later Zune and other MP3 players came out with versions close to the iPod, there is a demand for this cars. 50 years is what it will take to drain this country dry of oil, that instead of using for everyday travel we could use in farms to feed us.
gallomex13 3 years ago
You want the government to pay for everyone getting a new car? Really? Wow, I guess you really don't like capitalism. So you're a socialist? OK, now I get you.
jeffbatt2000 3 years ago
The funny part is that we have access to our oil, so much so that the USA oil companies haven't even drilled in all the ares that are allow to drill out of today. Capitalism and Socialism have both their good ideas and the bad ideas. You really don't get me 'cause you are narrow minded that just because I'm pointing out the bad side of capitalism u automatically think I'm a socialist In my opinion a mixture of the two is the answer but whatever that is not even important right now.

there is no great country just like there is no perfect person, but China is kicking our ass economically which is why the market has shifted and that is why Capitalism has moved directions of investing in china and India the next growing economies, when we were the super power economically China and India were in the same place we are now.

Do you have any friends who are risking their lives to get back to Mexico?
jeffbatt2000 3 years ago
no but that has nothing to do with the subject, I do have friends in Iraq fighting for their life just because Bushy wanted more of the oil drug. I also have friends who know its more expensive to drill in the USA than to drill in Mexico or any where in the world. If we are ok with paying the salaries for drilling right here GO AHEAD, I'll rather use my money to get out from the addiction.

Are you also OK with adding to Global Warming by all the increased coal burning we'd be doing if we somehow, miracualously swicthed all cars to electric? Do you have any idea how much more electricity we'd have to harness for the skyrocketing demand that would cause?

Do you have any Idea how much oil we have under our ground? Do you know gas cars add more to global warming than anything else?
Face it you are addicted to oil.
gallomex13 3 years ago
Yes, it does. But your new source of fuel will create just as much so called "global warming". If we could transfer all cars today to electric cars that we'd have to "charge" overnight, do you have any idea how much our need to "create" electricity would skyrocket? Then, we'd fall right back to the problem of burning 100's of times more coal, which would lead to excess pollution, not to mention that we don't have an infinite supply of coal, either, and we'd be right back at square one, again

gallomex13 3 years ago
There is no alternative fuel, that's what you're not getting. It would be more than $2 trillon. It would be replacing every car in the US, every gas station, putting oil companines out of business, and producing the new imaginary-fuel that doesn't exist. What you are calling for is not something that can or will happen. It's the fantasy of a child.
jeffbatt2000 3 years ago
And no, we haven't spent $2 trillion in Iraq. We have spent $600 billion on Afghanistan and Iraq, which, I concede, is insanely too much, but that has nothing to do with what you are saying.
jeffbatt2000 3 years ago
bullshit but even if it was true Imagine what we could have done with $600 billion dollars?
If we allow a our own companies drill our oil do you think we are the only ones going to be using that oil? do you even know the difference of price drilling in other countries to drilling here??? its about 100% more expensive to drill here that anywhere in the world, but we will still have to sell at market price.
gallomex13 3 years ago
So we should allow China to just take our oil? Is that your solution? Is it time for us to "pay" for being a rich country? I'm still waiting for your alternative(imaginary) fuel. Oh yeah, if we spent $2 trillion, we'd have it. You're not dealing with reality.
jeffbatt2000 3 years ago
There is no other alternative. We need to have access to our own oil, period, so we are less dependent on countries that want to harm us or don't care if their citizens do. We are sitting on top of millions of barrels of oil that we are not allowed access to by your Congress.

I live in Florida and China is not getting Oil from Florida they are getting Oil from Cuba. I mean sorry My Dad worked for PEMEX supply and demand is bullshit when you are trying to sell any product that is in danger of stop being the main source of fuel for the world. I personally don't give a fuck where China gets their oil 'cause I live in the USA where we can create cars that don't need oil, dropping the demand.
gallomex13 3 years ago
Cuba is only 90 miles from Florida. Ever see There Will Be Blood? "I drink your milkshake!!!!" They'll be able to suck up all our oil. If you don't want us drilling for our own oil then you have no right to complain about $10 a gallon gas prices. You have no right to ever bitch about it. If you're willing to let millions and millions of barrels sit below the surface of our land then you must be fine with what you pay at the pump.

Sorry I live in the present not in the past, where oil was the only source of energy. You have being voting for Capitalism all this years and now that you are getting the back end of it you have no right to bitch today!

Yes I do have a right to bitch. If Bill Clinton didn't veto drilling in ANWR in 96, we'd have access to that oil now. Prices would be no where near as hi as they are now.

I usually think of republicans as being ill-informed and, well, pretty dumb. I would like to publicly thank people like "danthevinylman" who continue to prove me right. You have done a fine job of making almost no sense, therefore invalidating any "point" you might have had. Your stupidity truly amazes me.

I get the truly amazed part ,But the stupidity part is on YOU!! I'm not a Republican!!Obama kept his family in a hate filled church and your dumb "if you really think this yelling hate" for the USA did not get heard by these children.A baby can even hear "the out side world" from its Mothers womb. NO!! OBAMA!! any

Honey, you have a lot to learn. Racism is alive and well and black folks continue to be damaged in fundamental ways by white America. I believe that most of what the reverend said, while difficult for white ppl to hear, was actually right on the money. Just to be clear, I am white myself. I also consciously take an ANTI-racism stance. If those sweet daughters of Obama's feel the hate from anyone, it is from ignorant ppl like yourself who can't wake up and smell the oppression.

Even Dick Chaney is DNA POSITIVE with your man OBAMA, you might check, YOU all could have FAMILY TIES..
'Wake up its not about color or race" ITS about REV. WRIGHT ,Bill Ayers AND anyone else who has hate for our country .People who hate, talk about it, try blow it up! Must be stuck on stupid,CAUSE This is the only and best country on earth. Why sit in church 20yrs learning hate for it? JUST leave "NO!!OBAMA<S RED ,YELLOW,BLACK,OR WHITE"!!NO CHANEY,s either

I have no idea what you are trying to say. I would assume that English was your second language if you hadn't said that "this is the only and best country on earth." Actually (please recognize my intended patronizing sarcasm here) there are in fact other countries in the world. You have done a fine job again of demonstrating good ol' American ethnocentricity which is at the core of racism. Challenging the cultural norm by speaking honestly about one's marginalization is an act of patriotism.

I'm with Morning Joe on this one.
McCain's "100 year war" comment was poorly worded, as was Obama's "bitter/guns/religion" comment. It would be nice if both campaigns could leave it at that and discuss substance.

This add was paid by MoveOn not the Obama campaign so you can put this on Obama.

John McCain never said "100 year war". The clip is on youtube. Someone asked him if troops will be in Iraq 10 years from now and he said, "Why not make it 100?" That's what he said.
jeffbatt2000 3 years ago
Oh so its OK for Republicans and Conservatives to twist words and give a spin on any comment Democrat and Liberals say but its NOT OK when we play by their book. Go cry me a mother fucking river maybe it can be made out of oil then the republicans will kiss your ass to keep the addiction going.

IF you notice most reporters don't report the up to date facts on anything. Just b/c Mr. McCain fought in vietnam ( and crashed 5 planes while at home and graduated at the bottom of his class) doesn't mean that he understands the History of the region or cares too. He said that our policy has nothing to do with why people hate us, like overthrowing the Iranian govt, helping Israel (not all Jews) take other people's land etc.

Check youtube for 2 minutes...and you will find MSNBC clips that accuse the whole network of being liberal...here, they are right wing and too conservative...truth is, they are what they are..a bunch of people talking, and everyone else assigns whatever characteristics they want to them.

Perfect title for this vid. I'm surprised at how out of touch they are. A cheap shot? McCain has clarified? Are you kidding me? I think it's a brilliant add - simple, clear, and effective. It is also honest. McCain is a war monger and the soldiers of war have to come from somewhere. Obviously the MSNBC folks haven't really thought about who is going to replenish those fallen troops... which means that subconsciously believe it will not be their kids... and they're probably right.

People can not handle the truth. Patriotism is nothing more than a tool of manipulation. Conservatives are nothing but puppets that are used and they don't even value themselves. they create and raise the future marines. They are disposable and they are proud of it.

Don't Seem to remember the MSM getting too upset when Bush Co. exploited a little girl who lost her mom on 9-11 to get elected. THAT is pretty fukt considering he's exploited that event to cause the deaths of WAY more people!
Fucking right wing media in Amerika will SINK that country, and maybe the rest of us with it!
