Exxon McCain

$4 Gas for
4 More Years?
As long as Big Oil's friends are in the White House, nothing will change.
We're paying $4 a gallon for gas, while big oil companies are making billions in profit. AND nothing much is being done about oil independence or global warming.
Why?
Because oil companies and their friends write our national energy policy. If we want change, we need a President who will stand up for us rather than give in to Big Oil. That is NOT John McCain.
John McCain
received over $1 million in campaign contributions from »»oil & gas industry companies
1 has over 20 oil company lobbyists running his »»campaign
2 would give big oil companies $3.8 billion in tax breaks »»
3 supports gimmicks (like a Gas Tax Holiday and offshore »»drilling), over real solutions

As the world reels from the Deepwater Horizon Platform Disaster unfolding I find myself wondering what and who to blame now.. myself first off.. for using packaging that is oil based. search Uses of oil End Oil billions of us do it everyday. What to do now? so glad Sarah Palin didn't make it into the White House.

show proof that everything in this video is rumor... did McCain recieve money from oil lobbyist? discount anything in this video as rumor go ahead.. Please enlighten me.

[anutshell]

I don't believe that Bush is the sole offender or that Congress hasn't done thier job.. but it is true that we can't continue to use gas and oil we must find alternatives. To that end I dont think putting Mr. McCain in the white house will be of the best interest of the US. I'm not listening to rumers I would hope that no voting American will as our future depends on it. Just voicing my opinion which is my right under the US constitution.

we need to drill now look what happened when the president just lifted the ban the price has droped.I'm all for electric cars and other tecnologies but we need something till we get there.energy independace is the only way we will make it

[anutshell]

Drilling now won't help anything. It wouldnt even make it to market for 10 years... and there has been no refineries built nor will the government allow one to be built. So no place to refine it..I say invest in alternative energy and stop buying into the imports. and for Petes sake quit sending all the jobs overseas..

[anutshell]

@philipvanwinkle hows that drilling working out for ya?

McCain has actually recieved $1.33 million from individuals employed in the gas and oil industry ... not Exxon ... Obama has recieved $400,000 in contributions from individuals in the oil and gas industry.

[philipvanwinkle]

You my not agree with what I say.But at least I'm not listening to rumers.Everyone that watches this should check your facts.

[philipvanwinkle]

Why doesn't anyone question why congress has done nothing to help us acheve energy independance.Gas prices have shot thru the roof the past 2 years which would be when Pelosi took over.Everyone wants to blame Bush,but the truth is congress has done nothing but stop the production of gas.stop the building of nuclear power plants(which even the people of three mile island only got the dose of radiation equal to that of an xray).Clean coal technology.And hold on here is the kicker hydrogen.
