[quote]Yep, except for the fact that the article is factual. Hurt your feelings that one of your party heroes is full of shit?[/quote] No, but I find it amusing how full of shit you are. Your litmus test for "typical party politics thinking" is whether or not the argument in question is factual. You just said as much. The thing that started this whole exchange is when you called me out for being partisan because of this quote: [quote]the Republicans did have a Republican oil

Yes, you're a conservative who pretends to be an independent (still no problem with all the attacks on Democrats, but you go right after an attack on Republicans) as evidenced by this thread and this exchange in particular. (Ignore that sentence -- call me a mindless sheep or something.) There's another post calling Nancy Pelosi a liar and a queen bee -- is that evidence of "typical party politics thinking"? Seems like it, but you seem cool with that...hmmmm. Seems almost, I don't know, hypo

[quote]Typical party politics thinking[/quote] Yeah, and this forum is so full of neutral people. I provide a counterpoint to all the Republican bullshit on here and your response is "you're a moron". Meanwhile, you're posting in a thread that calls Democrats H.Y.P.O.C.R.I.T.E.S. and haven't seen it necessary to mention that. You seem like one of those "typical" Republicans who tries to come off above the fray by [I]saying[/I] that you're independent, but defending all things conserva

How do you spell Democrat? Oh wait, I just did. Dumbest post title E.V.E.R. Ah ha ha ha... What's 2+2=4? 10. Ah ha ha ha...

[quote]NONE are an energy policy, and NONE are addressing the issue.[/quote] Consumer-First Energy Act Of 2008 [quote]They had enough to say no to every energy policy put forth before they had majorities, but somehow now they are all the republicans fault. Same logic applies. If they dont have the votes now, the republicans did not before. But at least the republicans tried (half heartedly) to address

[quote]They had enough to say no to every energy policy put forth before they had majorities[/quote] Well, actually they said no to LOTS of stuff (like drilling in ANWAR, which is a stupid idea that is more about further enriching oil compaines than it is anything else), and Republican's called them obstructionists. Now you're saying they should have said no more often? Odd. [quote]at least the republicans tried (half heartedly) to address the issue. The democrats seem sati

[quote]My point was not that the Democrats are directly responsible, but rather that despite all of their campaign promises to address the energy price crunch they have done nothing at all about it. Nor have they even tried.[/quote] But they simply don't have the votes, do they? They have the slimmest of majorities in both Houses and a Republican in the White House. Most of their solutions involve things Republicans aren't historically very big on, such as alternative sources of energ

[quote]energy prices didn't start shooting up until after the Democrats won the majority in the House and Senate[/quote] Incorrect statement. Check with the Department of Energy website. Gas prices began a steady increase since the war in Iraq started. New Democrats that make up the [I]slim[/I] majority in the House and the practically nonexistent one in the Senate (given Leiberman's effective conversion)didn't take office until Jan. of 2007. One of the fundamental underly

[quote]Senator Pat Leahy {D. VT} also a multi-Millionaire[/quote] Where did that come from? I always thought he was one of the poorest Senators. In 2006 he was ranked 95th in average net worth in the Senate. Here's a link proving that, and the fact that he is FAR from a multi-millionaire, based on the latest data available [link="http://opensecrets.org/pfds/overview.php?type=W&year=2006&filter=S&sort=A"]WWW Link[/link] What's the source for all this stuff? Seems like, if they ma

The current gasoline price crisis will eventually solve itself due to the fundamental laws of economics. However, it's going to keep coming back and will probably bite harder each time. A lot of states don't want offshore drilling due to the negative impact on tourism and the fishing industry, etc. My understanding is that it would take years to see any benefit from this drilling anyway. It seems clear that the best course of action is to go full bore at developing alternative energy. This

So, any word on when this is being let out of the gate? I noticed they put a buy now link on the main page, so I did, but it's still treating it like a preorder. The charge hit my account immediately, so I assume we're getting close?
