Who do you trust on energy: BHO (Barack Hussein Obama) or JMC (John McCain)??


McCain FAVORS drilling off the Gulf of Mexico (miles into the gul - you won't be able to see it from the beach, trust me, I have lived off the coast with oil riggs).

Obama OPPOSES any drilling anywhere.

McCain FAVORS a multi-pronged approach of nuclear, drilling, expanding refining capacities, while researching alternative energy sources for the future.

Obama OPPOSES nuclear, drilling, or expanding refining facilities. He also favors an additional tax on oil companies and taking away their profits, which will cause oil companies to pass on the costs to consumers.

--> Note: it is widely known that VIABLE alternative energy sources that are clean and AFFORDABLE (hey, paying $100,000 for an eletric car is not an option for 90% of US families) is at least 10+ years away and 10-14 MORE years to implement in a large scale. So "alternative sources only" won't work for quite sometime.

McCain FAVORS research for alternative sources of energy.

Obama FAVORS research for alternative sources of energy.


Finally, we know that Obama is receiving MILLIONS of Dollars from oil, gas, drug, and insurance companies. So the following statement should come as no surprise:

The only time Democratic rival Barack Obama voted for a tax cut was for a "break for the oil companies."

Meanwhile, McCain opposed the 2005 measure and said at the time it was larded with billions in unnecessary tax breaks for the oil industry.

SO WHO DO YOU TRUST TO HELP AMERICA OUT OF THE ENERGY SLAVERY/HOSTAGE CRISIS?

McCain. You forgot to mention that Obama wants to pass a global warming tax which will add $1.50 to the price of gasoline. If Obama were prez, you would be paying $5.50 now instead of $4.

This is a total no brainer. Obama is against us drilling our own oil and if we did drill it this loon wants to nationalize and control it. What does that tell you?
Obama makes no sense in any economic speech he makes. He doesnt understand it at all. He wants to create a million green jobs, but what he doesnt tell you is where is the money going to come from to build all these new jobs?

Holy crap, I TOTALLY forgot about Obama's "Global Warming" tax. Obama was also pushing for Liberman-Warner, which would have caused gas prices, heating fuels, and electricity to almost doublt by 2012!!!

You think it's that cut and simple??? I mean, Obama still has morons screaming at his rallies... well, I will give you that the whole furor has much died down, but still, some people still; think BHO will be good on gas prices.

I am wondering HOW?!?!

We are still waiting to hear WHAT are the "millions of new green jobs" that Obama promissed to create and WHERE these jobs will be created?!
