She`s not competent enpugh to run the local "PTA". So I`m not surprised at some of the rediculas comments that come out of her mouth. Intellegence? She wasn`t there when they pass them out. Do`nt really know how she won the Govenorship in the State of Alaska !! "Moronic" is the term I`d use to discribe her, and he`s (McCain) is just to old.

First, public schools right? She did serve on the PTA. That was her first run for anything actually. Didn't they mention that in the DNC talking points sent out today?

She won Alaska because she's a normal person with great skills. Very few people, even when well coached could walk out on stage and face what she has over the last 5 years. She's been beaten and beaten up her own party. In Alaska she took on a political machine as challenging as the Daley machine in Chicago and lived to talk about it. She's going to be a great VP and an even better President. Wow, a woman president and she didn't need affirmative action, Federal grant money or other hand outs. So that's why you guys hate her so much. Strong woman able to stand on her own. Isn't that what the left always wanted?-

She simply doesn't have a firm grasp of facts and is somtimes incoherant.
She seems like a nice woman except for legalizing the shooting of wolves from a helicopter and not caring if polar bears become extinct-

First, John is the presidential candidate, not Governor Palin. The effort put forth by the DNC is amazing. Secondly, besides writing 2 mediocre books about himself and voting 130 times present, what has Barrack actually done in his career? I've heard about his community activities and I don't buy it. He went to Springfield to change his local community and it did change. From bad to worse. He won his position in the Senate because of bad politics. Sealed divorce records of his opponent magically found found their way to the Trib. If records are so easy to open why haven't we seen Barrack's real birth certificate along with his full medical records? What's the matter not a citizen or can't he pass a urine test?

As to hunting, I've been to Alaska and Canada. Contrary to the lefty media, there is an over population problem with the bears and wolves. We could let them eventually starve or hunt them. Please see this and then talk:

I'm not against hunting though I don't understand the pleasure in killing.
Reply
The wolves that are shot out of helicopters suffer terribly.I wouldn't call it a hunt,more like torture and murder.
Palin has sued the federall government to take polar bears off the endangered species list.
Polar bears are starving to death on the ever shrinking ice,sometimes turning to cannabilism.This is not good stewardship of our earth.
Wolves were nearly hunted to extinction in the last century.They haven't recovered completely.I find it hard to believe with all that land in Alaska there isn't room for the wolf to be left alone or hunted in a fair and humane way.-

First, stop listening to your "experts" when it comes to hunting and numbers. There are over 20,000 polar bears today. In 1960 there were around 5000. That doesn't sound like they're dying off. In fact in Canada and Russia, they're increasing the hunting permits being issued. On the pain caused by hunting, any high powered rifle fired into a living thing isn't comfortable. From the ground or air, it's not painless. You take the best shot and make sure you kill the animal as fast and humanly as possible. I don't know where you're from but the DNR of Wisconsin through their ignorance and lefty morons released dozens of wolves in our northern woods. They're protected and the population has grown to well over 1000. Problem? They were supposed to go after the deer and wild turkeys. Instead they've attacked farms. We'll be seeing our first wolf hunts over the next couple of years. Then again, that doesn't cover the ones farmers shot because they were a danger to their animals or family members.
Reply
As to the bears and eating the young, that's very common in the wild. Have you not read or watched National Geographic? Why do you think momma bear is so protective of her young when there are other male bears around? They kill the off spring, even when it's their own. Rather than only getting you news from sites like this, read up on your topic first. Bears and wolves are not becoming extinct. Global warming is a scam. Ethanol and wind are total rip offs.-

Actually the science doesn't explain anything we're seeing. Warming? Where? My home state didn't hit 100 degrees this year. We had the worst winter in 20 years. We're looking at another bad one too. All of your maps and plans failed to account for any of this. I'm still waiting for any of you to tell me what the proper temperature is supposed to be and the formula you used to come up with this. We know that for the first 2 billion years the earth was much warmer. Then is saw a number of coolings only to see warmings. What is the proper temperature supposed to be? 4 billion year old planet, 100 years of temperature.

When's the last time Lake Erie froze solid where a person could drive on it? An ice breaker had to keep shipping lanes open for freight to travel across it. Hasn't happen since 1998 I know for sure. In the 1960-1990 it use to be a yearly event to drive across the ice to Kelly's Island. Do it now and you'll drown.

Lake Erie? When did the fires go out... Just kidding. You're seeing a natural cycle of weather. Again, I go back to the science. You're basing your entire theory on 100 years of information. The planet, again based upon your science is over 4 billion years old. There simply isn't enough hard data to support your ideas. Your best computer mock ups failed to explain why some glaciers shrank while others increased. Your mock ups failed to explain the huge volcanoes under the North Pole and how that would effect the ice. Your models never explained the 110" of snow we had in Milwaukee last year. Why has Michigan's levels increased? In all of your models, the lake should go down, snow stop and temperatures increase. They haven't.
Reply
As for driving across the lakes in the winter, we also had an ice breaker stationed in Milwaukee but it wasn't needed well before the global warming scam.
Again, show me your hard data supporting this theory. Show me your proof that this is actually happening and that man is the cause. All you folks have done is hold a bunch of concerts and used tons of fuel and energy to promote this. Where is your verifiable evidence?

As I see it, BB64 is on the oil company payroll. If I remember correctly, he works/worked in China building a plant to turn coal into a usable gas. Did not get all the information from his post but I would have to assume it could be used in automobiles as well as other places. In other words it wasn't clear whether the coal was turned into a form of gasoline or something like propane or many forms of petroleum products.-

First, I work in many areas of energy. Mainly on the capital investment side. Gasoline processing, coal processing, nuclear plants and the like. I've build a few ethanol plants and even work with a wind generator builder outside of Chicago.
Reply
On the coal, I do support the conversion of coal to gasoline. It could be done rather easily but the left is afraid of it. In very simple terms, you crush the coal and turn it into a slurry. That slurry you refine just like sweet crude. It can be done for under $45/barrel. Also, you can control the carbon emissions and avoid using ethanol completely. But what fun would that be for your side.
As to China, we will have many plants doing this but they do not require any of the safeties or environmental protections we would use in the west. I am a big fan of this because if done here, the product would be 100% American made. American coal, American employees, and American profits all staying here. But like all liberals, you feel that nothing good ever comes from America.

I have a PhD in engineering and an MBA. When you talk of warming, you're talking of cycles and weather patterns. All science should be able to be proven. Where is your proof? I don't mean some fancy computer model that can be manipulated to favor one side or the other. The planet is 4 billion years old. You must have had data somewhere to base your conclusion on. I can't go to market with a product and not have some proof it will work. Where is your proof global warming actually exists and is caused by humans?

As technology improves so will the cost of production come down. As for wind power generation, with technology advances, it is making great gains towards being more economical. Anyone that cannot see all sources of renewable energy being utilized along with petroleum is a fool.
Granted that Alcohol and wind aren't the complete answer but every BTU that doesn't come from another country is less we import. Every barrel of oil that is burned is one less we have for the future and there are to many products made from petroleum to just waste. But hey, why worry about tomorrow when we have today to live. Right?-

First, I've never heard of your group before. It is not a government run agency and is classified as a 527. That sends red flags up for me, especially when you realize my company builds plants and power stations. That would include ethanol plants too. They're efficient enough but the product they make isn't what they claim it is. Your study missed some very key issues. I grew up on a farm. Corn requires a lot of care and chemicals. While it mentioned some, it missed tons of others. Let's take them off for now. Let's talk about transport costs. Corn or ethanols can't be shipped by pipeline. Corn is corn so you understand that. But ethanol has too much oxygen and would breakdown the pipes and itself if shipped by pipe. There is the matter of fuel economy. For every percentage added to our modern cars, you lose that in fuel economy. 10% ethanol, 10% drop in mileage. I could provide you with the actual mileage data we provided congress showing this but I'm afraid they never released them. It didn't meet their needs. In our modern cars, we also create more carbon burning this fuel additive. The sensors have problems with it and fail more often. So again, how helpful was this additive? I mean to anyone other than ADM and their stock holders.
Reply
Tell you what, go down to Brazil and tell me how clean the air is. They burn ethanol only. Take a full breath and tell me how clean the air is. Should you survive, write me.
I do support coal based gas for the short term. Battery isn't there and solar may never.-

You're missing the point. The point is renewable. Gasoline was criticized when it first hit the market for automobiles because competitors made accusation that it would explode and blow people up in the autos. It's called propaganda.
Fuel efficiency of alcohol is being improved in automobiles like the Saab that uses e85 or gasoline and gets more power.
http://www.autonet.ca/autos/search/concepts/2006/0...
"Battery isn't there and solar may never."
Again the potential of the two together is great. I believe that a battery powered automobile with a solar panel array to recharge it would be great for a family to use around town. Technology is advancing every day.

BB - You sound so absolutely certain about the population of polar bears. In reality, even the scientists were unsure of the correct estimate. Technology, methodology, and funding were different. But numbers are more reliable now. We simply are not sure of the trend over the past 50-100 years.
Reply
Nonetheless, the consensus is that polar bear numbers have peaked.
The concern arises because of the alarming melt off of the Arctic ice shelf. This phenomenon is universally accepted by scientists. Surface area can be measured by satellite imaging and ice thickness can be determined by drilling and by submarine measurements of depth.
The hunting habits of polar bears (and therefore, the survivability) is totally dependent on the pack ice. The less the available ice, the less polar bears will eat and survive. We know from weight and size measurements that polar bears are now smaller than they used to be.
The greatest reason for species extinction in the modern world is not hunting, but habitat loss. That is exactly what is now happening to the polar bear's world in the Arctic. That is why scientists are predicting the ever increasing probability of extinction for these magnificent mammals. -

BB - Why are you shouting that global warming is a scam? Even your esteemed president Bush has finally admitted that there is global warming and that human activity contributes to the warming.
Reply
There is ample evidence all around us. The ice pack measurements of the Arctic, the Antarctic, and Greenland show it. The majority of glacier fields in the world are retreating. There has been observable migration of warm weather species drifting northward into territories they do not usually inhabit. There is warming of the ocean temperatures and large swaths of coral reefs are dying off. The weather patterns of hurricanes and typhoons is worsening.
As far as ethanol fuel is concerned, it has proven to be a disappointment. Ethanol is cleaner burning and produces less CO2 and no particulate pollution.
However, the CO2 balance is harmful because of the loss of natural forests eliminates the CO2 absorption by those trees and the tilling of the soil releases CO2. So overall we get a net gain in atmospheric CO2, rather than a decrease. Moreover, the use of corn in fuel generation raises the cost of corn as a food for much of the world's poor.
Wind generation seems to be a much more hopeful endeavor. The wind is always there. The technology is relatively cheap. And once the windmills are built, there is no more capital cost to the company. Other than minimal maintenance, you don't have to build or clean up anything else; labor costs for the work force is low; security and safety issues are almost nonexistant. The windmill just has to turn and generate profit. So don't count wind generation out yet. T. Boone Pickens may yet come out a huge winner.-

I am not a fan of Bush, let's get that straight from the start.

As to the weather patterns, we've seen this many times before. One area of coral grows while another dies off. Some is caused by illness others pollution while others we're not really sure. To say it's only global warming would be wrong.
On the Ethanol, it's a terrible solution for a problem we're not sure ever existed. As to cleaner, that would be wrong. When you take Ethanol by itself, perhaps but when you realize the amount of energy used to produce the stuff, it certainly has a larger carbon foot print than old fashioned gasoline.
Wind really is a lose lose. Wind generation requires a huge infrastructure. You don't just pop up a wind mill and have power. Well you do but what do you do with it? You lay more power lines, transformers, etc. Maintenance on the wind machines is also very high. Contactors, breakers, bearings and other mechanical items fail. You also need a fossil fuel or nuke plant somewhere on the grid to back up the wind when it isn't blowing fast enough to generate power. Taking everything into account, wind energy is a huge loser and has a much larger carbon footprint than the new clean burning coal plants.
On batteries, that's fine but what do you do when you have to replace them. They're costly to recycle and even more so if they're Lithium Ion. They're also very messy to build and many times are done in countries like China and India where its not uncommon to simply landfill the waste.
As to Pickens, like Gore he's realized he can make billions selling the "ecco" friendly solution to a problem that doesn't exist. He's a capitalist that has a pleasant way of selling his solution. Remember, the bigger the smile, the sharper the knife.-

I will defer to you on the engineering issues.ou say you are a PhD in engineering. Nonetheless, my understanding is that the widnmill generated power will simply piggyback on to the colossal power grind that already exists across the country. The wind power will simply take over some of the power needs of the nation and allow the regular coal-burning generators to work less.
Reply
These facilities are lready there. Very few need to be constructed and only as our power needs increase with the population increase.
Nuclear power is fine by me. I have no fears about it. It simply is a much more expensive option. Nuclear currently accounts for less than 1% of the nation's electricity. Even with a massive construction effort over the next decade, it will only increase to about 2% of our needs.
Useful - yes. Panacea - no.
The other option to back up wind generation is solar energy. Photovoltaic material research is creating thinner, lighter, and more efficient (hopefully cheaper) films. This is even cheaper than windmill farms.
Well, the point that I am trying to make and that I have not articulated clearly is that there are good options other than drilling more either offshore or in ANWR.
We own only 3% of the wolrd's known oil reserves and we use 25% of the petroleum products in the world. Drilling more now will simply deplete our reserves that much sooner.-

Actually drilling now and mining now using current technologies permits the time to develop the other alternatives. I'm a huge fan of nuclear. My company has offices throughout the world and we've built many plants in France. The 1 or 2% could easily be increased dramatically but with the current left in control, this will not happen any time soon. It's too bad.
Reply
On the wind mills, where the wind is, there really isn't the infrastructure available for a power grid of this nature. Wind is also very "dirty" power and requires lots of harmonic mitigation. In the long term, if it works, it's very expensive and very challenging to maintain. That is with our current level of technology. If that changes, then wind might be more successful.
On oil, I support the conversion of coal to gasoline. When crushed and turned into a slurry, it's processed for less money than crude oil and can be done more cleanly. Again, this is a fix for the short-term. But it gives us the breathing room to keep high paying jobs here and our profits too. Freeing some of that money surplus to develop new options. Win, win. Also, instead of spending gasoline tax money on bike trails and light rail, use it for what it was meant to be used on, new energy solutions and road repairs.

Palin's Lobbyist Has Abramoff Ties
It looks like Sarah Palin's claim to represent a cleaner brand of politics could be about to take a bruising.
The Washington Post reports today that, while Mayor of Wasilla, Palin oversaw the hiring of a lobbyist, Steven Silver -- a former chief of staff to now-indicted GOP senator Ted Stevens -- to help win federal earmarks for the city.
But Silver appears to have additional ties that could further undercut Palin's image as a squeaky-clean reformer. According to Senate lobbying disclosure reports examined by TPMmuckraker, from 2002 to 2004 Silver listed as a client Jack Abramoff's lobbying firm, Greenberg Traurig. On Greenberg's behalf, Silver lobbied the federal government on "issues relating to Indian/Native American policy," "exploration for oil and gas" and "legislation relating to gaming issues" -- the very issues that Abramoff headed up for Greenberg at the time. In other words, Silver appears to have been a part of "Team Abramoff."...

As to Canoe U, my wife and I both attended. The US Naval Academy isn't like Harvard or Yale. You don't get to attend because of daddy or because a family bought a building. They don't go out and recruit as some here have tried to claim. They receive over 100,000 inquires and receive over 12,000 applications per year. Included in that is a letter from your Congressman or Senator. Of those 12,000 only 1200 make it in. Daddy could be the president but you wouldn't make it in unless you were really the best of the best. I was very lucky to have made it.
As to being shot down, wouldn't that be a failing of the equipment. It was a heat seeking missile that took him out. Why didn't Johnson provide better planes or jamming equipment? On that note also, his ship was recalled back to the states after the fire. McCain volunteered to serve aboard the replacement ship. When he came back home he could have stayed home but didn't. McCain's whole life is service to his nation. Then we have Obama... What the hell is a community organizer? Oh that's right. Barry attended 150 meetings and checked is as present. War survivor and life long service to our nation or the kid that got a gold star for voting present over 150 times.

All those accusations are being taken for Jerome Corsi's book The Obama Nation. If you've read the book you know what I'm saying. What you may not know is that Corsi did not research his book but rather took statements from blog sites without verifying to truthfulness of the accusation. FactCheck.org did an investigation of the items in Corsi's book and debunked his whole book. In other words, Corsi wrote a book without fact to sell to right wing nuts that were looking to destroy Obama. By the way, Corsi also claimed the Twin Towers were brought down by explosives, You believe that too?

I'm not sure which area you're commenting I seem to be quoting him in. If you mean the drug issues or the lack of medical reports being released, that is true. Senator Obama hasn't released many of his records including medical and even his birth certificate. His ACORN group is being shut down here in Wisconsin and many warrants for their leadership will be issued. The same thing is happening in other areas of the country. Voter fraud is clearly the motivation of this group. A group Obama clearly supported and worked with.
He is friends with Ayers, Wright and Rezko. An unrepentant terrorist, a racist and a felon. Not the company one would expect a candidate for president would associate with.

She may have some good points who knows, if she would ever answer a question straight or for that matter honestly America might have discovered that. Instead she fell in line with typical GOP tactics of lying and hoping that no one is smart enough to do a little research and see you are full of BS!

20% of the nations oil supplies?

Foreign policy experience because you can see Russia from a small island?
Asked to name a Supreme court decision that you disagree with and you can't name one, not even the one that 3 mths ago you released a statement on?
Asked to name a newspaper/magazine that you read and you can't name one? A 5 year old will tell you at least one book that they love!
Husband a member of an organization that seeks to secede from the US because its founder has no need for "America or its damn institutions?
These are just a few questions people need to start asking about. I know some will vote strictly on party lines and I am ok with that but don't sit here and defend a woman that is ignorant of all facts including ones that relate to her own damn state. I would be happy if people just said they were going to vote for her and move on. -

Comments regarding intelligence, competence and capability should demonstrate the writer's competence.
Intelligence, ridiculous, describe are the correct spelling of the words you've used. I let you off the hook for what may have been typos (enpugh, do'nt). Let's not even address the tense/ownership issues surrounding the comment re: "intellegence". "She wasn't there when they pass them out!" Oh and by the way, when using "to" to describe old, you must add another o (too).
Enough about these minor details - Nebraska if you represent the typical Obama voter, we have bigger problems than I thought.

Palin lacks the qualifications to spin lotto balls, let alone govern an entire country. Her state is so sparsely populated that she might has well be boro president of Brooklyn. Her ascent is testament to the quality of the competition in AK (thin), and Palin's willingness/ability to scratch, claw, flirt and otherwise LIE her way to the top. Her administrations both in Wasilla an in Juneau have been characterizes by corruption, cronyism and small-mindedness (asking rape victims to reimburse the town of Wasilla? Golly, what a great role model for women). To call Palin provincial would be an insult to the small-minded.

Is this a trick question? Even thugh I am not a Con, I will take a stab at it. Neither, because according to the definition, the word "intelligent" is defined as someone who is alert, perceptive, bright, informed, clever, and wise. I can honestly say that the word "intelligent" does not apply to either Palin or Bush, alone or together taken as a whole.

Considering President Bush's record, he certainly is. But he isn't running for president and neither is Sarah. God willing John would serve his full term or even two. He has the experience and skills to do a very good job. He has a track record that out shines the candidates from the DNC. Once again, we see the DNC trying to make this race about Palin. It's not. It's about Barrack and John McCain. Again, it's clear you don't want us to compare the two. A veteran with years of working in and around DC or a new guy with no track record in government and in the private sector, his claim to fame is Acorn. They're being shut down here in Wisconsin for over 3000 acts of voter fraud. They'll manage to stay funded until after the election but they will finally be charged with the crimes they've committed. Too bad it took federal prosecutors to do the job of the local DA. Then again, he's another Dem too.

The pick of Winky as his running mate shows a complete lack of judgment. Her "choice" was from the far right of the GOP. His testimony that he did due diligence in her choice is just lies. There were no boots on the ground and she is an embarrassment to American politics. The fact that she is an attraction to the gullible does NOT give any credit McCain. John, what did the GOP do to you?-

Palin has been a star in the GOP since she started cleaning house in Alaska. Now I'm sure you will find a bunch of anti-Palin websites all claiming she's the anti-Christ or that she's a power hungry witch. She's not. She did clean house and made enemies across the isle. She upset the GOP apple cart and the DNC didn't pick up any seats. Both sides are not fond of her.
She's not a joke. Biden is a joke. Obama, a freshman senator with zero leadership is a joke. The only reason any of you are supporting him is his race. He's of mix heritage so that's why you're voting for him. I've asked why anyone would want him as president. All I ever get is the same DNC talking points. Change and hope. Well change isn't a map to success and hope isn't a destination. Those are simply hot buttons from the motivational speakers that sell books, CD's and tapes to moron. We've all seen them, some are better than other but they're usually a big waste of time and money. As is Obama.-

Sorry but I reserve the right to disagree. Sarah Palin is a joke and she did participate in a ceremony to have the witch removed from her. The "pastor" that performed the ceremony on her drove his neighbor out of town by accusing her of being a witch. Is this what we want in the White House? Remember, McCain is not a young man any more.

"The only reason any of you are supporting him is his race."
Wrong again paleface. Obama is a very intelligent man that is not a Republican. There is no need to bring the race of Obama into it because it's not an issue with open minded people. The issues are the failed economy which McCain stated last month was in great shape. The issue is the on going war in Iraq that never should have been. The issue here is the failed policies of the war in Afghanistan which should have gotten Osama bin Laden by now. The issues here is the administration in office now that has been misleading the American people and has had the support of McCain for 8 years.
"Those are simply hot buttons from the motivational speakers that sell books, CD's and tapes to moron."
Speaking of books, have you read The Obama Nation by Jerome Corsi, that is filled with lies, that the right wing nuts now place beside their Bible? -

No doubt. But she is still joke.
The fact that you can"t see it, just demonstrates how sad you and the other WINKY fans are...the same cast of characters that brought us Dubiya the Chimp and who think that he is the most intelligent Republican EVER.

Barrack Obama. Pull the teleprompter and he stunk. He's gotten much better as time move forward. One thing you guys have to remember is that Sarah isn't John. This is his show and she's only the VP. She's a fighter. If they let her loose, I think you'd see someone far different. McCain is a quiet fighter, he doesn't like the constant attacks he must do to defend himself. Palin on the other had has no problem fighting all of the way. I suspect over the next few days you will see the gloves come off and she will go on the total attack.

Actually McCain was never to have been charged. At least that was according to Bob Bennett, the DNC lawyer appointed to review the case. As far as he's concerned it was a cheap shot and political game played by members of the DNC. Nothing ever came out from this and he was never charged.

Leadership? And you folks are supporting Barrack? A guy who didn't know his pastor was a racist or his buddy Ayers was a member of the Weather underground. Sounds like change to me...

I guess that comes from running a businesses successfully. We're adding an additional 500 jobs over the next year. What we build is exported across the planet and brings power to millions. So yes, I guess I am pompous. What have you done besides bitching about America and claiming we're the cause of all of the world's problems?

I had back surgery about 4-5 months ago and I'm basically stuck at home about 3 days a week. Can't sit, stand or lay down for any length of time. Can't take the pain pills. I'm a workaholic and it drive me crazy. Believe it or not, I find fighting with you guys relaxing.

As to business, I've been very blessed. We've never been more successful. We started marketing overseas when everyone else was coming here. I'd like to think it was all my team but you never have 49 months of growth without help from a higher power and lot of luck.
But again, you haven't told me what you're doing to give you the right to judge me. Charity work? Homeless shelters? VA hospitals? DAV? Scouting? I support all of those, what do you do?-

Well to date.. I've organized, collected and sent items that the troops in Iraq.. want and need....

stuff like .. phone cards, hickory farms gift sets-- they LOVE those meat sticks.. ... personally bought with my own money over 100 of those after christmas at the local stores with 10 miles of my house... tooth paste and tooth brushes.. tampax.. kotex.. deoderant.. ..
i would suspect that your involvement comes from WRITING A CHECK... much like this same conversation I had with FSUgrad.. who GAVE AT THE OFFICE...
I organize the collection... help to pack it haul it to the post office.. and bug people .. even in these tough times.. to give money for postage and such.. AND I NEVER TAKE OUT A DIME... NOT ONE.. NOT FOR GAS .. NOT FOR SHORTFALLS IN POSTAGE... NOTHING....
about 250 boxes so far ... just collected at the local pubs I hang out with.. so much so that even tho I never served in the military. I'm more than welcom e in the American Legion, VFW and the local chapter of the American Military Veterans MC.. gave me honorary colors.. and I can ride with them any time I wish..
since you asks. ..
but again .. you didn't care you only come here to do one thing.. BRAG ABOUT YOUR SUPERIORITY TO OTHERS...-

I think what you're doing if wonderful and should be complimented. Most of your postings would lead many to believe you'd be one of the protesters at the military funerals. Before the surgery, I also organized many of the collects. Right now I'm really stuck writing checks. I enjoyed the spirit of packaging the boxes and getting them ready for shipping. I sponsored several family events for the units in the greater Milwaukee area. It was a chance for the families of those serving to spend time together in a safe environment. It started in my church's basement but in the end I ended up renting Miller Park. It's hard to squeeze 900 people into the church. The only requirement I asked for was no press. We're not the heroes this is the very least we could do. My Scouts ran the whole thing including the softball game on the main field. I also send care packages and school supplies regularly. Then again having a wife back over there, I look at things a little differently.

I don't mention this to brag, only to share. If we all gave back just a little, we wouldn't see the welfare rolls grow daily. That's the difference between McCain and Obama. One feels that people can make the difference and the other feels only the government can only make change. And shouting the last line, I believe we are all equal in America. Fate is what we are given, destiny is what we do with it.-

I became a member of the GOP because of Reagan. My dad's last posting in his Marine career was in the White House. He worked there twice. During JFK's time and RR. He much preferred Reagan.

As to why I support the troops, part of my family is from Ladysmith, Wisconsin. Tiny place, only 4000 people. In the last couple years we've lost 4 including my first cousin, SSG Patrick Lee Lybert. Also marrying a war widow who still is the Navy is a constant reminder. She will be stationed around 150 miles from where her first husband was killed. I tend to be very protective of the troops and their families. As to the Outlaws, I tend not to want nor need their help. I appreciate it, but prefer the company of fellow Vets to escort one of our own when we're bringing them home for the last time.
I've sat too long and the cramps are starting again. Trust me when the docs tell you recovery after back surgery is better than living with the problems before, they're lying. They're looking for someone to pay for their next Rolls.-

I missed this last comment. I would have been a bigger jerk. I don't need your subsides. The technology exists as does the mining. We know where the coal is buried. We could have this up and running in about 24 months using the existing refineries and adding the coal slurry equipment. You're right when you say it's old but it works and would solve our short-term problems, freeing much capitol for research and development without hitting the taxpayers for funding. That's they way it used to be done and should go back to that. At least in this case.

ACORN is not responsible for voter fraud. There have been some voter registration fraud issues but those are different and were done by people looking to make easy money by signing up Mickey Mouse. It is not voter fraud to sign up Mickey. Mickey is not going to vote! Also when Obama worked for ACORN he served as a lawyer in partnership with the Justice Department to allow voters to register at Driver's License Office.

WHAT DOES GEORGE BUSH HAVE TO DO WITH ELECTION? I DID NOT VOTE FOR BUSH EITHER TIME. I VOTED FOR GORE AND THEN KERRY. I VOTED FOR HILLARY BUT OBAMA STOMPED HER OUT BY ACCUSING HER OF BEING A RACIST WHEN IN FACT HE IS THE RACIST. NOW, I VOTE FOR MCCAIN. SARAH PALIN IS INTELLIGENT. SO I VOTE FOR MCCAIN / PALIN TICKET. I WILL NEVER VOTE FOR OBAMA, I LOST RESPECT FOR HIM. I AM NOT A CONS, I HAVE BEEN A DEM FOR 45 YEARS. SO THERE YOU HAVE YOUR ANSWER SINCE I DID NOT VOTE FOR BUSH.

PALIN IS A LOT SMARTER THAN YOU AND MANY OTHERS PUT TOGETHER. MCCAIN IS THE BEST MAN FOR THE JOB WHETHER YOU AGREE OR NOT ! GIVE CREDIT WHERE IT BELONGS. MCCAIN / PALIN '08. I DON'T HAVE ANY RESPECT FOR OBAMA AFTER THE WAY HE TREATED HILLARY CLINTON. SHAME ON HIM. NOW HE USES HER TO HELP HIM. WHAT A TURD OBAMA OSAMA IS. I VOTED FOR HILLARY NOW I VOTE FOR MCCAIN.
