The random political thoughts thread (Part Deux)

Stupid crap on all fronts....

A GOP leader says "McCain is kind of like Jesus". What?????? I agree it is possible he will be crucified in the upcoming election, but that's about as far as I can see the likeness. And more of his advisors are leaving.

Obama says we can't drive our SUVs and keep the temp of our homes at 72 degrees and expect the rest of the world to be OK with it. I don't freaking care what the rest of the world thinks. How about nuclear power for electricity so we can cool our homes (and 72???? In Phoenix that usually 79-80)? What does the rest of the world think about OPEC countries and do those OPEC nations really care? Does Chavez or Castro or Osama bin Laden or leaders in North Korea or China care? I think not.

Hillary.....nothing particularly stupid or irritating, but it may be because she's not getting as much coverage as the others.

I'll assume that was a rhetorical question....

I do think the Opec countries care. Not for the USofA of course but for the teat of our industrial might that they are suckling from. They are pooping their pants because the United States is finally starting to get serious about energy independence. Every Hybrid car, solar cell, wind turbine, wave generator, and geothermal plant, is another nail in the coffin of Opec nations free ride. So they care, they care about milking every last drop of sweet cash cow milk while they can before demand drops and lesser suppliers like Russia and even the US can compete on the global market.
