John Boehner is evidence of that. The NeoCon's had their way with our poor beleagured state in '04, turning it into the Florida of '04. The real estate market is so messed up here that nobody can afford to leave this land of shame to the rich Repubs who messed it up. Boehner is just another pubic....whoops, I mean, public tool....whoops, I mean, servant for the right wanger...whoops, I mean, winger machinery. I'm sure if somebody killed over 3,000 of his personal friends, he would think it was a high price. Of course, its doubtful that he has 3,000 friends. More like a flock of sheep and the sheep shearer, praise Jesus. Ohio has this little problem with broken balloting equipment…or maybe that was rigged balloting equipment.

Less consumption all round by the consumer base will reduce demand on fossil fuels and thereby human impact on the enviornment. the 'whole we cant change unless they do' excuse is utterly bogus. and is proof that the last half centurys social engineering has successfully atomised almost an entire civilisation. but im not talking about any environmental impact persay.

If everyone in the U.S. <em><strong>and</strong></em> China were to follow your advice, there would <em><strong>still</strong></em> be a problem with the human contribution to global warming, and a high demand for fossil fuels. The largest contributor to greenhouse gases and the largest users of fossil fuels in the U.S. and China are factories and manufacturing plants, <em><strong>not</strong></em> the average citizen. Until the citizens <em><strong>require</strong></em> the global conglomerates that own the polluting factories and plants to clean up their act, and lower their dependency on fossil fuels <em><strong>little</strong></em> progress will be made, no matter <em><strong>what</strong></em> we do. Your suggestion sounds like the Ad Council's response to the pollution of of our land, lakes, rivers, and streams: "Don't litter!" Comment by daytripper — September 21, 2007 @ 7:27 am

It probably is a small price to pay. But dont be fooled into thinking he is talking about "security" of the USA. he is talking about access to oil and the the benefits of that access on the long term stability of the US economy. You want to stop these wars properly. Then change your lifestyle. Be energy efficient in the home, in the car and at work. because if you live a lifestyle not much different to the average republican then you are every bit as invested in the conflict as the average street-hawk.

As the November 2008 elections draw ever-closer, Boehner and the GOP will become increasingly anti-war, which happens to be the place where most of America is. The GOP is showing us that what's wrong with America isn't MoveOn or Michael Moore or the Dixie Chicks.
