   IMho it's a stupid thing to even campaign about, or discuss. It's economics.    
   But, we stand there and beat our breast if   
   we're a pol and say what we're gonna do to give us cheaper   
   gas.   
      
   INstead imho we need to be talking about alternative energy, rebuilding the   
   infrastructure and sustainable economy across the board.  The rest of it is   
   just bs.  But, these folks   
   don't have any plan of addressing those issues because the   
   huge multinational corporations don't want them addressed.

   We don't anyway, better mass transit, alternative energy   
   sources and the like.  We're selling some of ours to europe   
   and importing it from people who hate us.  .

   YEah I know, but you'll get sold the same bs bill of good   
   whether you vote for Obama or the other guy anyway.  I found it amazing the   
   sheeple bought in so readily the first time.
