*sigh*
One would hope that for more people it would make them think 'Dear god McCain is desperate if he's coming up with outlandish crap like this'
This is what the media's job is....speaking truth to power, not letting them get away with this kind of shit.
Fortunately the people who believe ads like this are that 20-30% of the public who don't understand anything that's going on in the campaign. They'll mostly vote for McCain or stay at home due to apathy on voting night. There's little or nothing Obama can do to sway such wilfully ignorant people so there's no point in trying to reach them. What I'm trying to say is the ad is completely ineffective, anyone who believes it probably already believes all the bizarre rumours about Obama so their votes are not worth competing over.
supposin' most folks here believe they are in the alternate reality of, 70-80%...HAH!!! Puny humans.....
It's weird, there's even times where I think they look the same, as if brother and sister. Maybe it's just me.
And even though I freaking hate McCain, the stupid lady in this video has no idea how markets work. The market is very emotional, it prices in what it thinks politicians are going to do in the future. Just the ANNOUNCEMENT of drilling would be enough to alleviate prices a certain amount, you don't necessarily have to wait years for an effect. And yes, stupid woman, that oil shouldn't necessarily go to Americans. It's called free trade. We import 70% of our oil right now, how would we like it if other countries nationalized theirs you stupid bitch? We'd have chaos. The way you win the global bidding contest for this finite resource is to preserve the value of your currency. You can't do that with a central bank, no gold standard, and bunch of spendthrift socialists under any part name who can't resist the temptation to inflate. Even now, they're trying to prop up an artificially high market (created by the central bank, btw) that needs to collapse and reallocate to something that's actually exportable (unlike housing and services), because that's the only thing a weak currency is good for. It's the equivalent of giving someone who's high more shots instead of letting them go through withdrawal. We're going to kill the patient (the dollar) with either option. Pick your poison, they'll both do it.
Obama's political party wants Americans dependent on big government even more than on foreign oil. They hate private property and free enterprise, so of course they oppose drilling, oil exploration, etc.
Obama is singled out because he's McCain's opponent in the Presidential race. B. Hussein's neo-marxist record is there for all to see.
BansheeX, I agree with you about nuclear energy and off-shore drilling. I'm not sure I agree with off-shore drilling being forced to sell US. Think about the worlds biggest oil exporters: if they stopped exporting oil, what would they have going for them? Iran would just be some crazy-potential terrorists in the desert if it weren't for the money they make from us in oil trade. With that in mind consider what would happen (the assumption is made that oil is cheaper in the US than other places):
A. Oil sold in foreign markets: drillers make more money. Supply in the world economy increases and the price reacts accordingly (if at all). Most Americans would not see a benefit.
B. Oil sold in domestic markets: drillers make less money. Demand in the US decreases (since we have more domestically and rely less on foreign oil). Price reacts accordingly.
Seems to me if the oil is forced to be sold domestically, Americans would get more benefit from it.
