		<description>&lt;em&gt;“Rove: ‘This Administration Put More Into Alternative Energy Research Than Any Administration in History’”&lt;/em&gt;

Probably a byproduct of the development of MORE EFFECTIVE nuclear warheads, in violation of the SALT and START treaties:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strategic_Arms_Limitation_Talks

&lt;em&gt;An agreement to limit strategic launchers was reached in Vienna on June 18, 1979, and was signed by Leonid Brezhnev and President of the United States Jimmy Carter. Six months after the signing, the Soviet Union deployed troops to Afghanistan, and in September of the same year some senators like &quot;Mr. Boeing&quot; (Henry M. Jackson) unexpectedly discovered the so-called &quot;Soviet brigade&quot; on Cuba. As such, the treaty was never ratified by the United States Senate. Its terms were, nonetheless, honored by both sides until 1986 when the Reagan Administration withdrew from SALT II after accusing the Soviets of violating the pact.&lt;/em&gt;</description>

		<description>JOHN McCAIN’S 3R ECONOMIC PLAN 2008
Abbreviated version
 
Progressive thinking Republican Candidate John McCain comes through for America with his 3R economic plan. In the persona of Theodore Roosevelt, McCain’s plan just makes sense.
 
FIRST , keep in mind that to drop the fuel tax, the local gov’ts would crash. We must use the 3R to replace taxes lost from replaced fuel through green energy (Yes, we have it ready to go!)
www.betterconstructed.com
 
1.  RETHINK: America must see globally on what America is capable of in our current state of technology, engineering and meet the demands that face the world.

Private Sector framework is in place and current laws allow the 3R to happen. The Progressive attitude of John McCain to get things done by crossing party lines will resurrect America.
 
2.  REFORM:  The American people must demand higher quality products and less restricted trade routes for Made in USA components. We will lead the way of MFG again!

The USA will reform its dead manufacturing base 

3.  REINVENT: America and Americans must reinvent themselves to reach and maintain these standards and by sheer American ingenuity, control the world’s marketplace in the competitive manner, as the USA has always been proud to be #1. 

NUTS AND BOLTS of the plan are simple.
 
Billions of savings equates to millions of lost tax revenue from energy companies. The US needs a separate tax revenue source before we can move away from fossil fuels. 


McCain 3R solution.

McCain’s 3R is about technical, closely monitored and rapid hands on training from pros to create new pros. Thousands of currently-job-displaced  “once leaders in the manufacturing arena” will be asked to train and play instructor rolls in the 3R plan. Paid, of course, as these new leaders will help create a whole new style of prosperous America. A massive restructure providing thousands New American MFG means millions of new jobs for infrastructure alone. 
 
We have the buildings, needs and infrastructure to do this!

New jobs is the mainstay for Creating a new guard for Social Security.
                              
This is the new place for financial speculators to invest!


McCain’s Progressive nature embodies Theodore Roosevelt more than any US presidential candidate in history since the original Rough Rider blazed the greatest era of growth in America. 

We need John McCain to lead our nation with the same type of change.

THIS 3R DRAFT COURTESY OF: 
John Lewis Mealer, Founding President of Mealer Companies 

IF Obama is elected he would crush this nation by doing the following: 
Obama&#039;s World Poverty Bill (google it) would be passed and take ALL of the US Gross Domestic Profit earnings to give to the UN for distribution to African nations (seriously, GOOGLE IT) (All 7%. Which is the profit margin). 
 There goes the US cash gifts to support Israel! 
Guns would be also gathered up according to Obama&#039;s Global Poverty Bill plan (Did you Google it yet?) and the US would go into massive civil war. 
 Hey.. the lefties are unarmed anyway, so that might not be so bad! 
Obama would tax the investor class and no new small businesses would come into being (esp with the bank failures going on at the moment and no new loans being issued). 
 America would stagnate and begin to fall apart. 
 Obama&#039;s tax on the investor class also takes away incentives for lower classes to strive to become better people! 
Did you hope to begin your own business someday? 

Obama says NO! 
 Obama must keep us in our place, after-all. 
 Obama would immediately tax the large corporations which are already just barely balanced between the democrat instituted union demands and simply closing up and moving overseas or to Mexico. 
The USA corporate infrastructure would be detroyed within a year.

Obama would force the remaining small businesses to pay totally unaffordable health care for employees and they too, would close up and go out of business even before finding health care, IF it were available. This will really hurt the women business owners who employ mostly younger women in retail, who have higher health care coverage. THEN he comes up with some LIE that he wants to give small business 5k per covered worker. DO you realize how many workers there are in small businesses? How would he pay for thise TRILLIONS?!! Talk about not even thinking about how grand of a lie he tries to weave.
 Jane... Looks like you need to become a waitress again. 
Obama will over tax and over extend this country so quickly and at the worst time that we will DIE as a nation. 
If you want the USA to die, then you surely want Obama to become president and vice versa. 
 Israel will fall apart and diappear if the USA falls. 
The US pays Israel just enough to stay afloat with all of it&#039;s military needs against the very countries that McCain defends Israel from, YET, Obama supports and wants to discuss politics with these same terrorist groups over crumpettes and tea. 
 Note to Obama: 
Terrorists do not eat crumpettes, they send their brainwashed neighbors into tea N crumpette shops with bombs strapped to their bodies. They do not negotiate! 
This is not some game where we can push reset and this certainly is not a basketball game or charisma pagaent. 
This is the cold hard reality of Obama that people play deaf and dumb to. 
 
This is real life. 
 Are you awake and ready to learn about the survival of our nations? 
McCain 3R Plan is a start, but Obama&#039;s view is the end.</description>

&lt;strong&gt;Q U E S T I O N:&lt;/strong&gt;

Why is it that Rove can tell a Congressional inquiry to go Cheney themselves, escape on vacation, and return from a 5 day extension by that Committee, repeatedly telling them to get Cheney&#039;d AND then still collect a paycheck to propagandise his truths on National air waves?

Where&#039;s the outcry?
Why no thread covering this angle?

Or is CONgress that incompetent and impotent?

Jim,  I ask you when has KKKarl Rove, George Bush, Dick Cheney and the rest of the crime family ever been right or told the truth about anything?  Did the sun come up in the west today that would make you think that they are telling you the truth?  I refuse to waste time on what these thugs say because they have never been right or truthful in the past eight years.  If you are stupid enough to believe what they say, you qualify for the lowest level we have in this country, the knuckle dragging, bottom feeding, troglodytes in the 28%tile.</description>

		<description>Jim Wilke said:

&lt;em&gt;Bush agreed with one main argument for restricting drilling - that it would take years for the new supplies to come online. But still, he said that’s no reason to not act.

“There’s a psychology in the market that says supplies will stay stagnant while demand rises,” he said. “It seems to make sense to say to the world that we’re going to explore for oil and gas, to send a message that supplies will increase.”&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;

What point are you arguing?  That Bush really is the alternative energy president or that drilling in protected areas is the way to go?

For the first point, whatever amount his administration has spent on alternative energy, his statements make it crystal clear where his priorities are.  That is what I meant about plausible deniability.  Bush has given lip service at best about finding new sources of energy while his policies have, and continue to favor burning oil.

As to the second point.  Drilling in protected areas will not lower the price of fuel, in part because of how long it will take to produce any oil and in part because whatever oil is produced will only represent a fraction of the oil in the market.  Contrary to Bush&#039;s statement regarding the psychology involved, oil futures are mostly measured in months not years so opening up new leases will have &lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;no&lt;/em&gt; effect on the &quot;psychology&quot; of oil futures today or for some time to come.

Meanwhile, serious amounts of resources will go towards extracting this oil, resources that could be better spent developing alternate sources of fuel.  More drilling will only put of for a short time the problems we&#039;re facing now with the addition of pumping that much more greenhouse gases into the atmosphere.

		<description>My guess is that MOST of the Government Funded research and development into Alternative Energy occurs in the Military and the Space Program.

Whatever Government Funding exists...it is Appalingly Inadequate.   We need solar power on earth, not just on the space station.</description>

		<description>i&#039;m sorry. i can&#039;t listen to this vermin... nor any public speaker that sees fit to wave his arms in front of a camera like a used-car salesman. classic deceptive techniques: &quot;pay no attention to that man behind the curtain&quot;.

it&#039;s all about that &quot;body language&quot;, huh, &quot;DubYuh&quot;?

but... i WILL listen to him when he gets his ass hauled to Congress for some face time.

based, of course, on some rare show of patriotic backbone.</description>

		<description>Jim Wilke Says: 

Walt, you did not address the issue and no one else has, either.

If Rove’s claim is a lie, as so many of you here have said, then some other Administration must have spent more on alternative energy. Fine. Which one? Which President has “put more into alternative energy”?

Well for starters:
 Roosevelt, Franklin Delano
 Truman, Harry   
 Eisenhower, Dwight David   
 Kennedy, John Fitzgerald    
 Ford, Gerald Rudolph   
 Carter, James Earl Jr.  
 Clinton, William Jefferson</description>

		<description>Our decision about energy will test the character of the American people and the ability of the President and the Congress to govern. This difficult effort will be the &quot;moral equivalent of war&quot; -- except that we will be uniting our efforts to build and not destroy.

President Carter  1977

So....what happened??/ Oil dropped to $10 a bbl...gasoline dropped to 79cents/ gallon... and the American people and the 
President and Congress forgot  all about the whole problem.

I hope the WHO were right , &quot; we won&#039;t be fooled again&quot;</description>

		<description>Jim Wilke Says: 

Since when do we have a supply problem with plenty of supply?  Have you waited in line to pay $4.00 per gallon of gasoline lately?  No you have not.  The drilling is only a diversionary tactic to get the remaining 21% of leasbable land for Dubya&#039;s oil baron cronies.  Dubya is a slacker and a liar.  The 28% who believe this moron after all the lies of the past eight years are beyond help.  Go away.  The GOP makes sh!t up.</description>
