Political Punch

if they had listened 35 years ago, there would be anything to talk about!!!!!!!!! if they had respected the rain forests, the arctic, the air, the wildlife preserves, the oceans, there would not have been a problem with our resources. if there had been no more wars and the energy sources mined were used properly, the world would have had enough energy to replenish itself and no one would have been without!!!!!!!!! challenge that and i challenge every politician since eisenhower to deny it!!!!!!!!! if they hadn't blocked progress in medicine, there would have been the cure for cancer... if they hadn't blocked the the developement of several inventions including the 35mpg carberator, there wouldn't have been all those shortage problems. if they don't listen to the radical politicians that keep trying to sell off our ports, close our air force, sell off our Cable/digital Tv,block our radio signals(it's coming), restrict our pricing for oil and other necessities, we'll be in better shape, when 'we don't' listen this time. when is the time to listen? they knew 35- 40 years ago what to do. almost like an answer to a 'prophecy'.......Humanitarianism First!!

don't believe everytihn gyou read and don't read anything into what "they" said. the "stories" you people come up with nowadays are bias ans sensationalized at best. they're meant to keep church and state seperate. keep business out of our politics and maybe we'll find the word 'government' back where it belongs. stay with one objective and make it work. Al Gore and others like him have spent their own money to make the world a 'cleaner' place. let's now prove your ignorance by believing in "republican politics" where "money" comes first before the people's needs!! you'd bet against your own team if they had a scandel to write about!! Humanitarianism First!! p.s. you never bet against...

ABC is just going through the throws of a transition from supporting the intended Bush/Cheney, 911 instigating, fascist takeover and their upcomming corporate supported Obama Bashing future. You must have patience and sympathy in these matters, as both they and Bush/Cheney represent the 1/50th of our population that still have any stake in this gutted society. After all, they don't want to go without their (how many houses does McCain have a dozen?) their dozen houses and their Rolls Royces while the world burns.

Isn't it just great that Gore endorsed Obama and now will be sharing in the Oil Pot of cash to the party. Interesting little asside upon reading David Brooks column in the NYT was an interesting little tidbit. Obama has been touting how 90% of his campaign money comes from small donors. Turns out only about 44% from small donors the rest from large corporations. No surprise to me. I never trusted all of his hope and change rhetoric from the beginning. Typical political fraud.

Random political trivia, Rick: Friends of the Earth endorsed Gore's primary rival, Senator Bill Bradley, during the 2000 race. Can you imagine this scenario today?

Hope and Change--an absurd gimic

Why do you clowns keep talking about gas prices going up as if talking about that will help?

There is not a damn thing in the world that Obama can do to lower gas prices.

Democrats (of which Obama is one) long ago made sure gas prices went up by refusing to drill in our country, refusing nuclear power, etc. etc.

Blame yourselves.

Obama will lose and it won't even be close.

And thank God Gore the hypocrite never won.

Things happen as they should.

Guess who's going to be your next POTUS despite the whines, moans, groans and plugs of hair being pulled out?

All of that for what? You can't stop it.

OBAMA 08 FOR 8

Gore wasn't a push to any democrat...

Gore is one of the fattest cats around....he doesn't need Obama or his dirty money.....

But Obama better watch his mouth....as he's stuffing all these folks under the big'o'Obama bus.....all's fare in love and war and in election time---you find out everyone and their cousins have been sleeping with each other.

While in Chicago---Obama's been taking it....but he better becareful if he tends to give it----everyone is watching.

Another pointless blog; gas prices are driving Ford and GM out of business as well as our airline industry. And we're talking about some irrelevant trivia. Or are we talking about lobbying by Charlie Black and Bill Clinton? Who cares...

OMG: Al Gore's FATHER joined an Occidental SUBSIDIARY in 1971 and had investments there????????

Wow. What a HUGE SCANDAL FOR OBAMA, THIS WILL COST HIM THE ELECTION!!!!!!!!

THAT'S BREAKING NEWS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wouldn't you think Obama would get dizzy the way he continually turns in circles?

here goes ABC (Against Barack Channel) again trying to turn a big McCain present day campaign BLUNDER with Charlie Black into a distant tie to Obama.

I think bringing up the Gore link to Occidental is a little scurrilous as they were just from the estate of his father and I believe I am right I am saying that they were immediately put in blind trust and sold off as soon as possible. Gore basically had the shares because he didn't have a choice. They were sold as soon as was politically and practically possible.

WHAT you mean Mr. "Climate change hero" is just another corrupt, greedy OILMAN!!! NO, NEVER, Not "Mr. Enviroment NAZI Al Gore?" Oh lordy, somebody save us from the evil OILMAN Albert Gore. Look up Occidental Petroleum, look at what kind of stuff they've been doing in the third world. Look for yourself, he's no saint. He's just as dirty as his buddy BUSH.

Next thing you know, General Wesley Clark, who as another ABC blog noted "has no official role in the Obama campaign" will be accused of impugning Charlie Black's service as a lobbyist. In the ensuing media firestorm, Obama will be forced to admit that he never implied that "being an oil lobbyist" was grounds for him to demand Black be fired by McCain.

Angry McCain supporters will accuse ABC of bias toward Obama because the network did not claim in 2000 that being the Chief Executive of several failed oil companies did not disqualify
Geoge W. Bush from being President.

Then, before this post is deleted, gas will have gone up another 3 cents a gallon. I don't know why I do these things. I must hate America.

who cares

So you just turned a mini-scandal involving McCain's top adviser into an old and tired "story" about Al Gore's petro contacts from his father and the 2000 campaign? This is utterly insane. What does this have to do with, oh, I don't know - THE 2008 PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN??!!

Feb 3, regarding Obama's Nuclear Release Notice Act, the NY Times writes: "Since 2003, executives and employees of Exelon, which is based in Illinois, have contributed at least $227,000 to Mr. Obama’s campaigns for the United States Senate and for president. Two top Exelon officials, Frank M. Clark, executive vice president, and John W. Rogers Jr., a director, are among his largest fund-raisers.

Another Obama donor, John W. Rowe, chairman of Exelon, is also chairman of the Nuclear Energy Institute, the nuclear power industry’s lobbying group, based in Washington. Exelon’s support for Mr. Obama far exceeds its support for any other presidential candidate.

In addition, Mr. Obama’s chief political strategist, David Axelrod, has worked as a consultant to Exelon."
