This is the reason why neither Obama or McCain get my vote. They’re going for the appeal of the lowest common denominator. Until they listen, no soup for them!

I see stuff like this, and I start thinking maybe the VW Diesel wagon is the next car, even though I’d want the G8 instead. Poo.

Yeah! Why doesn’t our government just come out and tell us bad, evil, greedy Americans what we can and can’t drive! Oh wait, they’re already doing so with CAFE. How dare people want to have a choice in what they drive. Soon we can all drive the same kind of neutered, underpowered vehicles and we’ll finally all be “equal”. I guess our right to choose only counts for abortion, huh? God (as in the State) bless our brilliant communist, oops, I meant Progressive leadership! I can’t wait for the “Barack Obama Doesn’t Heart Transplants” article to open up for comments.

Why are comments open for this video, but not on the Barack Obama video?

Middle Eastern countries in aggregate, including Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, and Azerbaijan, supply more of our oil than does Canada.

So get more oil flowing only to continue to waste it? Stupid. Why not be more careful with what we’ve got so if we ever have to defend ourselves we can.

Still can’t fly jetfighters and bombers on battery power.

The notion that oil prices will go down based on off-shore drilling is beyond ludicrous. Domestic oil can never be more than a minute fraction of world oil supply and will have no impact on gas prices whatsoever. Shame on you, John McCain, because you know this full well.

All “dependence on foreign oil” rhetoric (I’m looking at you, Barack Obama!) is complete bogus as well. Our sources for oil are geographically quite diverse, with Canada being our most important supplier.

Hooray! Our pump prices get to go up while they build these new oil rigs in the gulf and then go up again (even higher) when a tropical depression OR hurricane enters the area.

Good Game Washington – way to suck on the oil companies tits while they keep socking it to us at the pump.

I’m waiting to see Sally Struthers do a commercial on behalf of the starving SUVs and that if every American would donate $2 a day to the oil companies to help them drill for oil anywhere in order to provide enough food to feed them.

“Offshore drilling to spur truck sales” (Cue shot of SUV’s rotting in the lot).

Damn… they’re pros!

They don’t mention that the product of this “drilling” could be consumed in a very short period by those hungry, hungry SUV’s, leaving us at the mercy of our Saudi Masters once again.

But, hey, as goes the car industry, so goes America.

Both candidates could be accused of looking at problems through peepholes; but throwing all pragmatism out the window merely disgusts me; yet (to all appearances) it seems to be what the voters want.

Have we always been this friggin’ stupid?
