That means 70% of the country is uninformed or stupid.

Try to argue that its not, please.

Because we should drill for more oil? Because we need oil? Because our economy runs on oil? Because it would be nice to get more oil ourselves and be less dependent on countries that hate us?

It's not mutually exclusive between drilling and investing in alternative energy sources and investing in ways to create more efficient vehicles. We can do all of these things, because it makes sense.

ditto... big time. ive ben pretty confident for a while though. i just cant wait until biden gets to be in the same room as palin. let alone obama and mccain...

this rudi speech here, just seems really really bad to me.

The word about McCain and Palin: MAVERICKS.

We don't get a ton of oil from 'countries that hate us', though.

Regardless, chanting it is simply stupid.

did he actually just say that palin has more experience than the entire democratic ticket?

was palin just on camera and did she have blonde hair?

did I miss something?

I'm a maverick too. But you'd be stupid beyond belief to vote for me.

if that's the case, then I guess we should put her on TOP of the ticket, not the bottom, seeing as biden and mccain have similar careers

Our second biggest oil provider is Saudi Arabia and our fourth biggest is Venezuela.

yeah
this seems worse
oh here she is

More interestingly, in a reversal of normal practice, the Reps are running late, while the Dems were pretty much spot on with the schedule.

Here comes Palin.

there's nothing wrong with getting it from Venezuela, IMO. Canada is our biggest supplier.

aren't we all about the free market? it's not like we buy from certain countries, oil is pooled on a global level.

the entire oil in alaska thing has gotten a little out of hand. by most estimates there is about 100 days worth of oil in the distputed areas... in otherwords.... next to nothing. i dont think it will/should be a major issue in this election.

but in anycase, it is completely pointless to drill there.

i believe obama voted for a bill that would allow it at some point because he was able to cram a huge amount of funding for alternative fuel development in the bill... but its still stupid to drill that oil.

did anyone else see the thought bubble over levi johnston's head in that cutaway? i think it read: oh my god, what have i done.

numbers from NPR: 1/3 of delegates are female, 2% are black (lowest in a long time, especially compared to a 2004 high)

Palin's voice annoys the fuck out of me.

shut up shut up shut up.

What's with the John S. McCain?

Was someone confused about which John McCain was running for president?

hillary clinton probably hates this lady so much

You know, the truck driver "voice of America" guy who spoke to the Democrats did a better job than Palin.
