Since the Bush family made their fortune in the oil business, and all their friends are in the oil business, and they are incredibly close to the Saudi royal family, how likely do you think it is that they will encourage the development of alternative power sources, or act to reduce our dealings with the Saudis?
The thing is, the gasoline WILL run out someday at the rate we are consuming it. Why not think long term and begin to develop these technologies?
This isn't Michael Moore right? lol. I'm pretty sure technologies for alternative energy's are being developed.

Re: right on.
Committing suicide and voting for a president are slightly different
Heck, maybe it's a non-fatal stab wound. It's just gonna hurt like a bitch and generally impair your quality of life from then on. Is it okay to call someone who does that stupid?
This is not a rhetorical question.

Re: right on.
Funny, I didn't mention a who ... but if the shoe fits ...
and I also allowed other categories, of which "ignorant" is not a critisism of intellectual ability, but of education on the topic ... and it can be cured.

Very simple message, MessenjaH. Someone stabs themselves in the throat. Is the person smart for doing so, or stupid?
A direct answer would be much appreciated.

Re: right on.
One could argue not for those of the nearly 1000 dead soldiers in Iraq that did vote for him, but that puts the arm swing before picking up the knife: anyone that votes to re-elect him and gets sent there has the knife in their hand.
not to be cruel to the memory of our vets, but Bush is the one that sent our boys into an unnecessary war for the wrong reasons and with insufficient planning for the reality that was there and no idea what to do in the aftermath because they had failed to understand the people.
incompetence is like that.
gross incompetence.
impeachable incompetence.
this from an unprincipled war dodger.

Re: right on.

Maybe from this standpoint, explain.

Re: right on.
Maybe Kerry changed his stance again but last time I checked he had the same policy in Iraq that Bush has.

If he's not stupid, then why aren't you stabbing yourself in the throat? Apparently, it's the smart thing to do.

Re: right on.
Kerry voted for the ability to go to war, not the act, and this was based on a promise of considering all the alternatives, which was not done (another grubby shrubby lie?)
Kerry's position on the war now is that the reality is we are there, we have done massive damage to the country and should be responsible for rectifying that, but that it cannot be done without international cooperation and assistence. That cooperation is not just for the manpower and money, but for credibility with the Iraqi people.
Bush is being forced to move in that direction because his current planning has failed, failed miserably. This is another bush flip flop.
Bush accusing Kerry of flip flops would be laughed off the stage if people looked at the facts.
enjoy.

Changing votes ...
from another board:
I am a former Republican and Bush backer who has now seen the light and am a new democrat who supports John Kerry for President!!!!!
I find your comments somewhat inflated but based on truth, nonetheless...thanks.
seems there are a lot of people who are changing their votes based on the incompetent performance of shrub.
