Talking politics
Both Gerald Witt at Inside Scoop and Mark Binker at Capital Beat have announced and solicited for Voterspeak '08, a weekly online conversation about news and politics. You might think there is no reason for me to promote it here, too. You would be wrong.
I know that readers of this blog are politically engaged and would love to participate with us and each other. Just in case you don't read Scoop or Capital Beat, well, now, you won't miss this opportunity.

John McCain has received two million dollars from the oil industry, and now he want to give them an four million dollars tax break, when they are rake in record profits on the shoulder of America. So, John McCain said, “Our dangerous dependence on foreign oil has been thirty years in the making, and was caused by the failure of politicians in Washington to think long-term about the future of the country.” What John McCain neglected to mention was that during those thirty years, he was in Washington for twenty-six of them. And in all that time, he did little to reduce our dependence on foreign oil. Not to mention, that out of the last twenty eight years, twenty of those years, our nation energy policies were manipulated by an oil man in the Whitehouse representing his party interest (George Sr.12 years. George Jr.8 years) that have all but destroyed our Country.
Here is some straight talk. When John McCain was running in the Republican primary he never mention or addressed anything about this nation energy problems. After the primary when he saw that Barack Obama energy position was getting footage he flip-flopped and quickly and turned into Mitt Romney. The Straight Talk express at its best. So here my question to you: Why do Jack Cafferty and others find it so amusing to report on Barack Obama supposedly flip-flopping , when John McCain twisted on more issues then any Politician in recent history beside Mitt Romney, and fail to get equal coverage? Can I be sensing media bias? After all, Barack Obama has received 72% negative coverage, when they have reported on him. WHY? America has to stop acting like they don't know the difference between right and wrong.
Finally, there are those who say that John McCain new ad depicts Barack Obama as trying to present himself as a messiah, well I beg to differ. I believe that John McCain new ad tries to depict Barack Obama as being as old as Moses, when John McCain himself is old enough to have been Moses childhood buggy!
