Or perhaps it's more of a schism... looks to me like neither side is willing to back down, looking at the comments in Political Radar: Candidate Clinton to Richardson: 'Barack Obama Can't Win'.
It's ugly.
But there was one comment that REALLY made sense.
God Help us all,
Well - there ARE. Just not terribly good ones.
Obama: an inspiring speaker, a refreshing presence on the political landscape. No grasp on foreign policy, not honest about his personal beliefs. The Wright thing will kill him in the general election.
Hillary: Absolute liar and self serving subhuman. She will say/do/believe anything to get elected Power. power, power. I'm sorry, but defending Bill says it all. No chance in the general election due to her negatives. I'd vote for my cat first.
McCain: Senial, no grasp of the economy, arrogant, will not admit that so any advice will be brushed aside. Best chance of the 3 to have a clue how to defend America. But if elected the deadlocked congress means nothing good gets done.
We're screwed. Everyone I know is clear on the issues and what needs to happen, What planet are these politicians on?
.
1. Energy. We should have drilling like it was a national emergency. It is. Alternative fuels are 25-35 years off. What do we do till then? The Corps of Engineers should be directing drilling starting in an hour. That ='s jobs, self sufficiency, security, economic stability.
2. Job's= health care, security, economic stability.
3. A Stable economy ='s money to care for the environment,develop other energy sources, non-reliance on foreign goods and services, strong defence. Ever notice how everything comes back to energy?
Hey environmentalists, Since oil isn't going anywhere for a while, should we drill for it here where we have some pollution controls or just buy it from countries like Mexico, and Russia where they just dump the waste on the ground and let it leach into the water table? Last time I checked we all live on the same planet. If America is not strong, who is going to finance all of your poofta organizations, Nato, The UN and all the other worthless corrupt organizations you love so much. Better take care of the golden goose.
All that said McCain is so clueless on the ecomomy that he will be no better than the others if he wins. There are no choices this time..
I disagree about McCain being senile. Fully agree about the energy - if the fools in Congress were serious about it, we'd be drilling like crazy. But it's all for show - they don't really CARE about solving the problem as long as they can LOOK like they're solving the problem.

I've always said, "Let Congress announce that drilling will be allowed in ANWAR and the Gulf of Mexico and the price of oil will be cut in half within 24 hours."
We wouldn't have to wait for drilling to actually commence, the very idea that the U.S. is actually going to do something about its oil supply would force the Saudi's, among others, to radically rethink their pricing policies.
Also, if Congress wants to stimulate the economy there is nothing they could do that would have a greater effect than granting a ten year tax holiday on all diesel fuel produced from refineries built after 2007. I predict the price of diesel fuel would drop from its current, ruinously high, price of $4.00 a gallon to less than $3.00 a gallon on the announcement of the implementation of this policy and to less than $2.00 a gallon before the first acre of ground was cleared for the first refinery.
Too bad the Greens and the Progressives will never let this happen.

You know, I'm really starting to get a bit ticked at the technological suicide they seem to be espousing...
