STILL cheaper and more efficient, not to mention cleaner, safer and LESS radioactive than even a modern coal plant, with existing quantities of fuel which will last for centuries rather than decades (oh, and the BYPRODUCTS of current nuke plants are materials potentially valuable to future generations as an additional power source, too!)…

THIS is “old hat”?

Man, tough crowd!

That, or you just get all your nuclear-power “knowledge” from watching ‘The Simpsons’.

Umm… McCain DID cheat on his first wife, and you don’t hear anyone talking too much about that!

Check it out: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-1024927/The-wife-John-McCain-callously-left-behind.html

What’s worse is that he still has the gall to run on a campaign of morality and christian values–or is that the whole point of the “cover up”?

More like “anyone here can be an East Coast Gangsta”. The Mafia has a very specific hierarchy that is lacking in al-Qaeda, which is why the latter is such a dangerous organization.

I guess the best analogy would be that al-Qaeda is a like a Greek Fraternity; in theory There is a central structure, but for the most part it’s forming a charter and a chapter. We may take out one δΦµ house, but nothing prevents another from springing up to take its place.

Obama is not a radical socialist by a longshot: he’s a centrist Democrat. If you want a real Leftist, look up the plans Dennis Kucinich wanted.

I notice you fear the threat of increased taxes, which must mean you’re in the upper 1% of income, as that’s the bracket he wants to tax (while somehow not returning it to the Republican standard under Eisenhower, a whopping 91% of income).

We’re not going to agree on social programs, so I won’t argue that point.

That was kind of my point… I was attempting sarcasm to illustrate how people accuse Obama of being a Muslim just because he went to a Muslim school by saying people would accuse Morgan Freeman of being a Muslim because he played one and…. yeah, guess I wasn’t clear enough.

herb is one of the best posters here and I’m not sure how someone like myself ended up one on one with him! I should probably be yelling “First!” somewhere. But my point is, how many peace talks have we had now in the middle east? How many more are we going to have while people are continually blowing each other up in the meantime? They don’t seem to be doing any good at all. And now they are bringing it to our country. Maybe Obama could do better? I’m not sure why though. I am not happy about war at all, but even the bible says there is a time for war and a time for peace.

McCain’s is most comprehensive (and the bulk of it long-standing; see his speech from April of LAST YEAR). The one that Paris Hilton was given is a subset of McCain’s plan. Obama’s plan is a subset of Paris Hilton’s plan.

WTF? You seriously never heard that before? You need to get in the habit of doing some reading on your own. Among other things, look up McCain’s energy speech back in April 2007.

By: hobo erectus

hobo erectus — Sat, 16 Aug 2008 08:48:17 +0000

You simply haven’t been paying attention…. McCain’s had lots of specifics for months (see post above). Obama’s near-term plan is … what… filling your tires with air? Nice idea, but that’s the stuff of a Public Service Announcement, not an energy policy.

By: hobo erectus

hobo erectus — Sat, 16 Aug 2008 08:46:03 +0000

not really, though …. McCain has had both a short term plan (drill), a medium term plan (effiency standards, build nuke plants, other proven technologies) and long term (invest in research of renewable technologies).

Obama tends to be all long-term and non-specific, unless he’s revamped his plan in the last week or two.

al-Qaeda is an organization. Saying “anone here can be al-Qaeda ” is like saying “anyone here can be Mafia”.

Sheesh.

By: hobo erectus

Um…. al-Qaeda is an organization, not an ideology.

Not that al-Qaeda’s ideology isn’t beginning to melt down, too, though.

You might want to read up on how some of the theorists that bin Laden based his ideas upon have begun to turn their back on him, his tactics and his ideas of Islam.

By: Ceefax

Ceefax — Sat, 16 Aug 2008 07:33:49 +0000

Al-Quaeda is not an organized army, anyone anywhere in the world can be “Al-Quaeda”. All you need is a chip on your shoulder, a bath and a fertiliser. Leave a video saying you did it for “Al-Quaeda” and someone claiming to speak for them will be more than happy to claim responsibility, even if you’ve never spoken to anyone else who’s declared themselves a member. This ios not something you can wipe out just by killing or capturing all their ‘troops’

I would like to express my sincere appreciation for this well thought, well expressed argument. Though I have disagreed with almost every post I have ever seen you write, and I have a very different vision of a future with Obama in the oval office, this is the best apologetic* case I have read on this site. Well done!

School means nothing. It teaches you how to find canned bits of information, injest, retain, then regurgitate it at will. Not that this is not valuable, it just isn’t enough. Real problem solving takes practise, will, experience, and conviction above all. You could go to Harvard and be no better than the guy who went to Hooters. Inteligence is the same way. The man with the highest recorded IQ is just a bouncer in Alaska, while there are Nobel Prize winners with IQs only in the 130s (higher end of average). The only determining factor in eminence is the “rage to conquer;” that will to actually use the God given talent or opportunity that has been afforded. If Hilton got her plan from a culmination of informed sources (even if those sources are presidential candidates), and produced a legitimate plan for energy then it doesn’t matter where she went to school. She deserves credit for thinking at all, and not blindly following one idea or the other exclusively. For the record, I’m not 100% on board with her, but kudos for stepping out.

I’m not all that happy with McCain lately, but Obama is a radical socialist that will destroy our fragile economy with more taxes and social programs that never seem to really help anyone. So, I have to vote for McCain and hope he choses well a VP.

We could also replace their Koran’s with copies of Whiney the Pooh! There are people you cannot talk to, they have been trained since childhood in the madrassa schools that Americans and the west are evil. Things you learn as a child tend to stay with you as truth all your life especially if you are in the company of friends and family that believe the same thing. And, their hatred has nothing to do with anything we have done to them in our own defense. They would despise us even more if we did nothing to defend ourselves.

How do you wipe out an ideology? Seriously, the more we randomly shell villaes the more we inspire people to take up arms against us. That’s why we were never ‘greeted with open arms’ upon entering Baghdad.

al-Qaeda isn’t an army; there is no leader. It’s like a sea sponge: we can tear it asunder and it will only reform that many more times. al-Qaeda needs to be contained, disarmed, and defused. “Contained” in this sense is not locking them up and humiliating them in places like Abu Gharib and Gitmo; it is grouping them into an area where we can attempt to discuss things like civil beings.
