He writes, ".."Bush misrepresents evidence on Iraq to the United Nations"
Where is the proof of that." I guess you don't get out much, do you?

The Congress of the United States of America came to that conclusion. Amoung about 100 other academic reviews.

You don't vote with that 'mind' do you?

Where is the proof of that. All I have seen is the media throwing that trash about. And I happen to think Iraq is a good decision and Iran should be next.
"Bush tries to cover up global warming." What sort of nonsense is this. The average temp of the planet has gone DOWN in the past twenty years. And Global Warming has been a topic for 30 years. All I hear from liberals is about global warming while they globe trot in private jets.

"remove more rights from Americans than any in history"
WOW, here is a man who has not read ANY History....what about WWII and the rights that every democrats favorite president Roosevelt took away. Speech, Commodities, Properties...GIVE ME A BREAK!
SOROS Moore to name a few of the libs who own a vast amount of Haliburton stock. By the whay Scott De whatever, without running to google, tell me what contracts Haliburton has on the table now.
"Bush charges dozens of people as terrorists" Who has Bush personally charged, hahahahha, last I heard he was the president not a cop or FBI agent.....as I said before, GOOD GOD what does it take to get you koolaide drinkers to see past the media blitz on Bush...but then again, they fooled you morons into putting Barak Hussein on the ballot.
If you koolaide drinkers want to talk about torture you should call on the ghosts of the innocent people beheaded by your beloved muslim friends. Must be nice to blame one man for the last thirty years worth of bad decisions.

Scott De Jack wrote on July 15, 2008 05:33 PM: Jack says:"Why don't you tell us all about all the decisions that George Bush has made that are wrong on which he refused to listen to anyone".
OK Jack, here's a few!: Bush misrepresents evidence on Iraq to the United Nations.Bush proposes loosening protections of endangered species.Bush discloses undercover CIA agent's identity as retribution against her husband.Bush tells Congress not to offer a Medicare prescription drug benefit to the poor.Bush tries to cover up global warming.Bush uses the September 11 attacks to justify all his policies, including the act to remove more rights from Americans than any in history- "Patriot Act".Bush chooses not to regulate auto emissions.Bush awards no-bid contracts to Halliburton.Bush cuts pay for soldiers in Iraq.Bush charges dozens of people as terrorists for no reason.Bush lies about Iraqi weapons of mass destruction to justify war.Bush lies about homeland security funding and blames his allies in Congress.Bush cuts education for military dependents.Bush cuts federal housing subsidies.Bush proposes retirement savings plan to benefit the wealthy.Bush proposes yet more tax cuts for the rich.Bush blocks agreement that would provide cheap drugs to the world's poor.Bush changes U.S. foreign policy strategy from deterrence to preemptive strikes and military dominance.Bush lets mining companies dump waste into streams.Bush makes the possibility of U.S. using nuclear weapons much more likely.Bush bans stem-cell research that could save millions of lives and unfortunately I could go on- heck I didn't even touch on the torture and war crimes charges in the news today.These were just a few from a letter I wrote months ago. It's not all Republicans that are a disgrace to this country, just those that continue to back the current administration. Like I said, really sad.

Scott De Jack wrote on July 15, 2008 04:20 PM: To Randy- again: Even Bush's own energy advisors say it would take 6 years to start pumping any of the oil 'offshore' that's being discussed. Then another 7 years to actually start producing gasoline from production and so in 2022 or so when this oil actually hits the market. Although because the price of gas is controlled by the world marketplace, its effect on the actual price would be according to George Bush's own energy advisor; "Insignificant"!

Jack wrote on July 15, 2008 03:51 PM: The economy has always run in cycles. We have recessions and a few depressions in our history and this is something we have to live with.
What I don't have to live with is legislators who think that high gas prices are good because their party is controlled by environmental whackos. I don't need a presidential candidate telling me that the world doesn't like my spending, driving and eating habits. The world hates whoever is smarter and has more...human nature folks.
I appreciate Bobs book recomendations but I have read a few books myself and most of them deal with the historical forces. History tells us that supply and demand and a market based on free enterprise and capitalism works better than anything the world has ever seen. People who call themselves impoverished in our nation own cars, homes and have food on their tables. The biggest issue we face is unscrupulous politicians like Dingy, Filthy Harry trying to get people angry by telling them that the "RICH" should do more for them. Al Gore making millions off his "green corporation" while he uses twenty times the fuel and power I use in a year. Arnold Swhanznegger telling us about our presidents bad environmental policies while he drives an H1 Hummer.

For god sake people have these energy wasting fabulously wealthy democrats got you so bamboozled that you can't see their hypocracy. For Heavens sake the champion of the working people, Nancy Pelosi owns an upper crust winery hotel in California where there are NO UNION MEMBERS HIRED.
I feel for anyone with so little common sense they can't see through these people!

RANDY wrote on July 15, 2008 03:01 PM: THE DEMS IN CONGRESS STILL WON'T LIFT THE BAN ON OFF-SHORE DRILLING FOR OIL. THE LAW OF SUPPLY AND DEMAND IS IN PLAY HERE. SPECULATION WOULD LEAVE THE OIL COMMODITIES MARKET AND IT WOULD BRING DOWN THE PRICE IF WE WOULD LIFT THE BAN. DRILLING WOULD HELP IN THE SHORT RUN WITH PRICES. THE LEADERSHIP IN CONGRESS IS PLAYING POLITICS WITH OUR WALLET. WE NEED NEW LEADERSHIP.

two much tax Tom wrote on July 15, 2008 01:10 PM: To all the people that say Jon Porter voted against H.R. 6251 on the many millions of acres of leases to big oil. a lesson on supply and demand. If you increase the supply and demand stays the same the price will come down. Jon Porter not only supports drill here and drill now but also supports drilling in An-War Alaska and off shore.
Yup! Now they say we can't drill our way out! It is estimated that there is about 10 billion gallons of oil in shale out here in the west, but why can't we get it? Liberals! They is 1.7 billion acres of oil rich land, but congress leases land to the oil companies that hasn't any oil. Thank you democrack liberals. This country has more coal than any other fuel but the democrack liberal harry reid says it's killing us. Yup! More people die in cars accidents every year than any other way. On Las Vegas highways it is demolition derby. The next time one of you liberals want to take a airplane for transportation, you will complain of the price, the cost of a soda or a cup of coffee and a bottle of water, the other service, the on time performance! I would like harry reid to use an airplane to fly back from Washington D.C. that uses solar power. harry reid please use one that is powered by a windmill or solar power and do us all a favor.

kelly wrote on July 15, 2008 11:55 AM: I am disapointed that just a few weeks a go, June 26th to be exact, Jon Porter voted against H.Res 6251 which would have required federal lease holders to "use it or lose it". Many millions of acres of leases are tied up by Big Oil and many have been sitting dormant for years (up to 20 years in some parts of Alaska), when instead companies that are ready, willing and able to drill, drill, drill, are not getting access to the land. Prices won't come down till production starts, and Porter and Heller are protecting Big Oil's side of the ledger sheet and not the needs of the American Consumer.

Shame on Jon Porter for not requiring drilling here and drilling now! Even if all our lands and seas were leased, under Porter's vote, the leases could just lay fallow until Big Oil decided it was time to go drill.....in the mean time, the 2nd Tier oil companies will be unable to bid billions of dollars for the leases and thus, just when we need all hands on deck, they'll be going out of business.

Nice move, Porter. Now if we can get you to move back to Nevada.
