I know it is not as dynamic as Senator McCain's gas tax holiday and I know
that Senator Obama has kept his opinions the same, instead of Senator
McCain's earlier position about what a bad idea and how long it will take
to
see any results and the small impact increased domestic drilling would
have
on our economy as he said repeatedly in May and yet last week he reversed
himself on ALL of his prior positions concerning domestic drilling (geez,
Senator McCain did manage to keep to one policy for a whole month!) But
if
you are really interested in Senator Obama's plan then look he
http://www.barackobama.com/issues/energy/.

There is little to nothing there that will lower energy costs. In
fact, things like "cap and trade" will likely increase the costs. The
whole link you cited has little in the way of specifics (other than
they plan to spend a lot of money). I'll ask again: where's the Dem
plan to solve high energy prices again? Talking won't improve things.
One must actually put something specific forth.


Heck, the republicant plan was to jawbone OPEC and the Saudis. How well did
that work? Senator Obama's plan was to stop throwing good money after bad.
Giving oil companies tax breaks and subsidies while they were enjoying
record profits did not do what republicants told us it would do either.
Invading Iraq also opened up a lot of cheap oil to us, did it not?

Senator Obama has repeatedly called for spending those tax breaks and
subsidies on the next generations of energy sources and not on dumping more
money down the oil wells. I understand that you do not like his answers as
they do not provide the quick fix hat no one has to offer. I also suspect
that you do not take into account that our government's borrowing policies
of the last 7 years, international inflation, means that the price of that
gallon of gas that cost ~$1.40 when president Bush took office, should cost
nearly $3.00 in today's devalued dollars. You may be a little young to
remember or understand what it is like but you do not want to see deflation
cause a gallon of gas return to $1.40.

Senator Obama has repeatedly called for spending those tax breaks and
subsidies on the next generations of energy sources and not on dumping more
money down the oil wells.

So, in other words, he has no plans whatsoever to help people who are
losing ground financially *right now* due to the high cost of energy.
All he seems to talk about are things that will happen some day yet we
can't drill in Anwar because it would supposedly take ten yers to get
the oil.

America's long national nightmare is over.

The neocon is on the verge of inevitable extinction. Next year,
you'll only be able to find them in Paraguay.

Unfortunately, the neocons have amongst their members most of the
wealthiest people in America. These wealthy people have over the
years learned how to manipulate the masses into voting against their
own best interest. Remember how union members voted for Reagan?
Remember how many of the poor vote for Republicans? The wealthy will
gain control of the masses one way or another.

Compare the price of oil and gasoline today to it's price January 20,
2001.

Senator Obama's plan was to stop throwing good money after bad.
Giving oil companies tax breaks and subsidies while they were enjoying
record profits did not do what republicants told us it would do either.

What did Republicans "tell" us that tax breaks and subsides would do?

Make oil cheaper by making exploration and development less expensive
for them.

While you're at it, tell us what percent of a gallon of gas goes to
oil company profits. How does this compare to other products.

I don't have any problems with their profits or margins, but I do have
a problem with tax breaks and subsidies for a healthy, vibrant and
thriving industry.

Invading Iraq also opened up a lot of cheap oil to us, did it not?

Gotta love libs. Did we "invade" Iraq for "cheap oil prices" or
"higher prices"?

Iraq's oil production should be returning to 2002 levels this year.
That should help negate the shortfall in global production caused by
the invasion.

Senator Obama has repeatedly called for spending those tax breaks and
subsidies on the next generations of energy sources and not on dumping more
money down the oil wells.

So, in other words, he has no plans whatsoever to help people who are
losing ground financially *right now* due to the high cost of energy.
All he seems to talk about are things that will happen some day yet we
can't drill in Anwar because it would supposedly take ten yers to get
the oil.

The Republicans had their chance to do something about our energy
dependence when Reagan was President. Too bad he de funded Carter's
alternate energy support.

If Bush announced that the U.S was starting a "Manhattan Project" to
drill for domestic oil, build refineries, build nuclear power plants
and develop clean coal technology the price of oil would drop like a
rock overnight. The world knows we have done it and can do anything if
the american people put their minds to it.
