No one ever got elected to office by being candid with the public. So says Washington Post columnist Robert Samuelson.Do you doubt it? Well, read his candid speech from a generic pol and see how much you like it.

Love it. Would elect him if he said one more thing: Disagree with me? Show me the solutions. Don't call me to complain about something unless you also offer a tenable solution. eg:
I"Energy independence" is a fraud. We simply use too much foreign oil. All we can do is limit our dependence by shifting to more-efficient vehicles and increasing domestic production. But these measures will take years and have only modest effects. The same is true of global warming. Without major technological breakthroughs, making big cuts in greenhouse gases will be impossible./I
Germany and Brazil made major strides in less than a decade... American's bought Prius' in droves, even though so-called experts said 'at these gas prices, it'll take X number of years to be worth it'.. . that was back when gas was $2 a gallon.
Give us access to Electric Cars/Motorcycles (over half of us drive 50 or less miles a day) that have been available for over 10 years in Germany that get 250-600mpg equivalent http://www.twike.com)
Give us FutureGen sequestering coal plants combined with burning Miscanthus and we start extracting the CO2 from the air.
No, I'd vote for him if he not only spoke the truth (which many perceive as complaining or besmirching the USofA), but also demonstrated he had an open mind by saying here's a solutions' box -- fill it.

Mankind's "influence" on "Gore-Bull Warming" (now REFERED to as "Climate Change" because GUESS WHAT? the climate is ALWAYS CHANGING!!) is a FARCE (being used) to destroy the capitalist system and move to a Socio-Communistic "government run/ government CONTROLLED" system in these great United States of America.
NEWS FLASH!! The globe has not been "warming" since 1988 and is now in a COOLING cycle according to the very "scientists" spouting the farce, and they expect it to continue through the next DECADE!!
JUST AS IN THE 70'S THE ALARMISTS WERE FORETELLING OF THE NEXT ICE AGE BECAUSE OF WHAT MANKIND IS "DOING" TO THE ENVIRONMENT!!
METEOROLOGISTS CANNOT GET THE WEATHER FORECAST RIGHT FOR 7 DAYS IN THE FUTURE AND WE ARE SUPPOSED TO BELIEVE "SCIENTISTS" FORCASTING THE DESTRUCTION OF THE EARTH WITHIN 10 YEARS IF WE DON'T ADOPT A BUNCH OF MUMBO-JUMBO CALLET "KEOTO"??!!
"dw" (what's that stand for? dimmmmm witted??) you state:
"I"Energy independence" is a fraud. We simply use too much foreign oil. All we can do is limit our dependence by shifting to more-efficient vehicles and increasing domestic production. But these measures will take years and have only modest effects. The same is true of global warming. Without major technological breakthroughs, making big cuts in greenhouse gases will be impossible./I"
IF oil drilling were allowed in our own KNOWN massive oil reserves, the effect on the FUTURES market of oil would be affected shortly because of the possibility (PROBABILITY) of MORE oil being in the WORLD SUPPLY!! The $120-$130 dollar per barrel of oil is FUTURES MARKETS and is (can be) influenced by speculators that want to control WORLD economies. Think George Soros, who wants DESPERATELY to turn America into a Socio-Communist "state" CONTROLLED by the united nations, DESTROYING our Constitution in the process!!
Soros is a MULTI-Billionare who is a STRONG "supporter" (puppet master?) of one B. Hussein Obama in his(Obama's) run for the presidency (and his run for the Senate, of which Obama is now IGNORING his responsibilities!) of these great United States of America. DO NOT trust Obama, he is a KNOWN LIAR, he associates with KNOWN terrorists and terrorist sympathizers/enablers, his philosophy is SOCIALISM (*COMMUNISM*) and he will APPEASE to ALL of America's ENEMIES!!!
May God BLESS America and protect us from our enemies BOTH foreign AND domestic!!

Neocon Republicans and their helpers in the owned MSM are responsible for "DESTROYING our Constitution". These greedy, self-serving bums have been feeding people like FReRydr a line of crap for years and he buys it all! How dim-witted must you be FreRydr not to see what's right in front of your face? What do you do? Stare at right-wing conspiracy sites all day? No wonder you're so ill-informed. Why not pull your head out of your backside and see that you're part of the problem. I'd like to think people like you will go the way of the dinosaurs once we get a progressive majority in charge in this country. Good riddance to you!
P.S. If you're going to barf your ignorance on these blogs, maybe you might take a writing class or something.

Oh, and it's spelled KYOTO, you dimwit.

MORE HATRED coming from one who "proposes" to be a "progressive", the VERY ones who PREACH : TOLERANCE, DIVERSITY, AND ACCEPTANCE!!!
NEWS FLASH!! FReRyder (NOT me) the MSM (aka "also known as" the "LAMESTREAM media" are SOOOOOO Socialist ("progressive") they have to make three LEFT turns to get where they need to go so they DON'T have to make a RIGHT turn!!!
The NEW Media, Right Talk Radio, are the ones that are gaining more listeners daily, as opposed to "AIRHEAD AMERICA" that has a total of about three listeners, Dick Dur-bin, Tom Daschel, and alBore. The New York Slimes is loosing circulation DAILY, along with ALL the other "Big City" socialist news outlets.
Your statement " "DESTROYING our Constitution"." is EXACTLY what the "progressives" are trying to do. Have you ever read the Second Amendment ".... the right of the people to keep and BEAR arms, SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED!" ??! WHAT PART OF "SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED" DO YOU "PROGRESSIVE MORONS" NOT UNDERSTAND??!!
MAY GOD BLESS AMERICA AND PROTECT US FROM INEPT, IMMORAL, DEVIANT, SOCIO-COMMUNIST "PROGRESSIVES" AND THE TERRORISTS THEY "APPEASE"!!!!

Oh, and BTW, you right-wingers are responsible for this:
So get off your high-horse and read it. I mean really read it FreRydr. I think your handle is ridiculous, that's why I'm using it too. People like you aren't "free". You're expensive. Your ideology have cost this nation and the families of its' soldiers dearly. Live with that!

"Oops, I apparently copied some garbled misc. stuff on the page into the body of the article. Please disregard that part. Oh well, I'm inclined to do that kind of STUPID stuff."
Posted by BillD on March 22, 2008 at 6:50 PM
PLEASE disregard ALLLLL that "BillD" (AND "FReRyder") post as they are one-and-the-same, and their opinions are BLATHER, regurgitated (COPIED) from Socio-Communist sites such as "The Huffinpuff Pist", "DummmyCrapic Underground"!! AND the Socialistic "Boston Globe"!!!!
UNFORTUNATELY, FReRyder, it is the ANTI-WAR, ANTI-(PRESIDENT)BUSH, SOCIO-COMMUNISTS that are making the HONORABLE service to our GREAT COUNTRY, a thing to be ASHAMED of!!! AND therefore THEY are the TRUE REASON that returning soldiers that already have mental disturbances defer to suicide and attempted suicide.
"We all are capable of doing the best things or the worst things," he said. (Ian J. Lavallee, cochairman of the Boston chapter of Iraq Veterans Against the War.)[from your article]
This is WHY CHARACTER matters in our leaders and those who serve in our military, because each and every one of us has in their power to be EVIL, or stand for good and HONORABLE ACTIONS!!!
I would suggest that YOU, FReRyder (or BillD, or whoever you purport to be today) visit the "festivities" when a troop deployment comes home to the grand support offered by family and friends with American flags flying and the love and support "dripping" from all attendees, glad to see their loved ones come home.
May God continue to bless America and protect us from our Socio-Communist ENEMIES BOTH foreign AND domestic!!!

There YOU go AGAIN BillD, calling others (me) names, rather than try to DISCUSS issues, YOU can NOT refute statements OR FACTS, YOU resort to ATTACKS!!!!
BillD, I find it odd that you accuse others (me) of "inability to mount a substantive argument", however YOU do not refute any factual statements I have quoted or stated for myself, YOU have no "argument", YOU just attack those you disagree with. As with most Liberal/socio-communists, you can not refute facts, you resort to attacks.
I propose you are just as much a liar as your inept messiah, Osamabama, when you state:
"I did read it (that loony website you frequent)......blahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblah..... I choose not to."
May GOD protect our great country from inept socio-communists and their followers that would destroy our country and the freedoms that have made it great!!
