		<description>Brought over from another thread, don&#039;t miss this.

See this before it is pulled, as similar videos have been recently blocked.
Chris Matthews slam dunked Senator Kirk Watson, when he asked the Senator for just one example of Obama’s legislative accomplishments. If you want to see a politician choke on national TV…watch this! Chris was surprised when the Obama campaign’s own surrogates are left utterly stumped when asked to list his legislative accomplishments as a Senator.

Another Democrat, Senator Kirk Watson, who is simply an intellectual giant…NOT!</description>

		<description>I don&#039;t work in the pharmaceutical industry, never have, have never said I did.  Please try and keep up, or just read and don&#039;t post.
I was ask to come to his slaughterhouse once to provide some things he or his staff wanted.
I REFUSED, gave them a courteous explanation and have never had contact since.  My choice, I don&#039;t need to compromise or prostitute my values for the almighty dollar, as he&#039;s doing.</description>

		<description>Boxlock...you work in the industry (unless you&#039;ve lied about that too).

Does Dr. Tiller (and all the other abortion providers) magically produce equipment, supplies, drugs, etc. or do they obtain them from the very people you work for?

ProLife insists that the abortion industry makes billions every year.  Millions must be spent on on the aforementioned items.

Claiming that you are not involved is a little like a vegetarian working the kill floor at a slaughterhouse justifying it by saying &quot;but I didn&#039;t EAT any meat!&quot;

Whining Republicans refuse to see the obvious.  

THEY are the problem not the solution.</description>

		<description>Rage I, no YOU, have no idea what you are talking about.  Obama said those things, if that&#039;s what you mean.  And I don&#039;t own stock in abortion providing pharmaceutical companies, whoever they are, if that&#039;s what you mean.
And KSNaive is a liar, if that&#039;s what you mean.
Do you know what you mean or are you just being an ass too?</description>

		<description>And KansasNaive is a LIAR.
He knows full well, as I have explained, I hold no stock in pharmaceutical companies directly.  Let alone any providing abortion, whatever he means by that stupid statement.
There may be some in mutual funds I hold, just as there may be in any retirement account the Naive holds.  Though I doubt he is responsible enough to even have retirement accounts.
He lies because he has nothing else the pathetic little weasel.</description>

		<description>And once again, we see the level of scholarship Boxlock brings to a debate. That is to say, none except to relay bullsh*t e-mails. 

http://www.factcheck.org/askfactcheck/did_obama_write_that_he_would_stand.html

Some of those quotes do not appear in the books, others are taken out of context. 

Under the context of the quotation of the book, I would &lt;i&gt;want&lt;/i&gt; a president who would &quot;stand with the Muslims&quot;. In fact, when a President swears to uphold the constitution, that is what any president should do when

&quot;...the political winds shift in an ugly direction.&quot;</description>

		<description>Below are a few lines from Obama&#039;s books; In HIS OWN WORDS!

From Dreams of My Father: &#039;I ceased to advertise my mother&#039;s race at the age of 12 or 13, when I began to suspect that by doing so I was ingratiating myself to whites.&#039; 

 From Dreams of My Father : &#039;I found a solace in nursing a pervasive sense of grievance and animosity against my mother&#039;s race.&#039; 

 From Dreams of My Father: &#039;There was something about him that made me wary, a little too sure of himself, maybe. And white.&#039; 

 From Dreams of My Father:  &#039;It remained necessary to prove which side you were on, to show your loyalty to the black masses, to strike out and name names.&#039; 

 From Dreams of My Father: &#039;I never emulate white men and brown men whose fates didn&#039;t speak to my own. It was into my father&#039;s image, the black man, son of Africa , that I&#039;d packed all the attributes I sought in myself , the attributes of Martin and Malcolm, DuBois and Mandela.&#039;
  
And FINALLY the Most Damning one of ALL of them!!!
  
From Audacity of Hope: &#039;I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.&#039; 

All you Obama maniacs explain away as best you can, or conger up and lie, but his words speak the truth before he was &#039;running for the most powerful office in the this country, and maybe the world, and can no longer be &#039;honest&#039; about himself.</description>

		<description>We could be forced into a position (if we don&#039;t seek/find alternatives) that Japan was faced with. Don&#039;t think OPEC countries would be too eager to provide us with oil to run our tanks.</description>

		<description>There you have it,
Phantom thinks that Saudi Oil can effect price, but American Oil can Not affect price.

Also, why should we worry about keeping any of our own &quot;reserves&quot;???

If some new technology is really on its way, if some &quot;alternative&quot; is really going to happen ---

Why not pump all the oil out of the ground that we can, while it is still worth something?

After all, won&#039;t all of your promised &quot;new technology&quot; make oil worthless?

So why not provide as many jobs as we can, now, in the oil business?

So why not generate as much tax revenue as we can, now, in the oil business?

So why not do what ever we can, to reduce the current price of oil?

Drill Here, Drill NOW!</description>

		<description>Our ace in the whole used to be S.A., they were needing our protection and would flood the market to bring prices down for us. They no longer have that fear, and as bush demonstrated during his last visit, they laughed in his face (or the equivalent there of).
We do not have their capacity to make much difference on the world market.</description>

		<description>Also, say Japan or China bought our oil, and decreased their purchase on mid-east oil. What&#039;s a Saudi Arabia to do, go ahead and put up the excess oil for sale, and bring prices down. Or, leave that oil in the ground for sale later?</description>

		<description>The energy dept. has no doubt factored in the exporting of Alaskan oil in their few pennies p.g. projection.
That is precisely what&#039;s wrong with the &quot;deplete our reserves now&#039; argument. We would use up our reserves to make a few cents difference on the world market prices.
Which is why to have any significan effect, the only benefit would be if we &#039;consumed here, what we pump here&#039;.</description>

That&#039;s the fundamental truth of markets.</description>

		<description>Poor ol&#039; &quot;Franklin&quot; has painted himself into a corner.

There might be enough American-produced crude oil to feed America&#039;s appetite for petroleum an current levels.

Maybe it will take more &quot;drilling here&quot; to achieve that.

But with huge expanding markets for crude in China, India, and the rest of the Third World, additional American oil would amount to a mere drop in the barrel on the international market.

If Newtie Gingrich&#039;s focus-grouped &quot;Drill Here.  Buy Here.  Save Here&quot; slogan were somehow to be transformed into policy, the only-est way it could work is if all America-produced oil it removed from the international market and dedicated to Americans.  

Think Exxon/Mobil&#039;s gonna go along with that?

It&#039;s like that &quot;What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas&quot; ad campaign.  The only way &quot;Drill Here, Buy Here, Save Here&quot; works is if what&#039;s drilled in America is Burned in America.

And that, dear &quot;Franklin,&quot; mean nationalizing Big Oil.

So which is it you&#039;re advocating?</description>

Oil sold to Japan, from Alaska, is oil Japan does not have to buy elsewhere.
Oil sold to Japan, from new wells, is oil that Japan does not have to buy from Mexico or Canada.
New wells, providing oil to Japan, will help keep the price of gasoline lower all around the world.</description>
