but I can assure you that many people have very large issues with nuclear energy and drilling for oil in Alaska. Most of these issues are environmental concerns, and for those that value the environment over non-renewable energy sources, it would seem simply absurd to be ravaging the natural landscape of Alaska to get a limited quantity of oil.
But it isnt going to disrupt a large part of the Alaskan Landscape, the area they want to drill is incredibly incredibly small, and wouldn't do much damage to the landscape.
It's important for the public to know what the candidates intend on doing to fix the problem.
The People have been hearing this for a year and a half, how about the Candidates stop with the rhetoric, and actually work to fix something instead of talk everyone's heads off of it.
Responsible leadership also involves talking to the people and keeping them informed;
No responsible leadership is knowing how to prioritize things, knowing that the economy is more worthy of attention than one of three debates. Responsible leadership is going to Washington to get it passed, and not sitting around and waiting for some one to call you.
suspending a campaign because you decide that you need to be doing something else just shows the people that you are incapable of juggling more than one thing at a time.
Okay this line has been pissing me off so expect to get the full brunt of my anger. Yes a President has to multitask, that is one of the fundamental components of a Presidency.
BUT! A even bigger component of the Presidency is knowing how to priortize, to say, "This is less important than this, so I am going to put it off."
Let me ask you this, on 9/11 should Bush have continued his tour of Florida after the events happened and he made his speech? By the absolute stupidity of the Obama Campaign he should have becuase he should have been able to juggle two things at once.
If a major crisis were to happen in the United States while the President is meeting with a Foreign Leader or at the G8, should he return to the states, or remain at the conference? The absolute stupidity of the Obama Campaign says that he should stay.
Yes a President should be able to juggle things, but when a Crisis happens a President needs to put non important things on the back burner, and work on fixing that crisis. Having a debate that could easily be postponed, on FOREIGN POLICY, is not, is absolutely not, on the same level as a Financial Crisis.
To believe that they are, is horribly ignorant of the situation we are facing.
Also, to say the Republicans have lost some support is just looking at the
polls, really. But really, it seems like they're taking a new poll every hour and each one changes the gap by like 4%... whatever. Polls are kind of useless in my opinion. It might be worthy to note though, that I haven't really seen any polls with McCain in the lead... always close but never winning...
Zogby: McCain up by 2, he experienced a five point swing the night that he suspended his Campaign.
Gallup: Race is tied, Obama has been on a downward trend all week.
How about informing yourself of today's polls.
Not to mention the main poll quoted in that article is the pathetic ABC Poll, a poll so absolutely one sided, that they went out and polled a full 10% more Democrats than Republicans, think that played a part in the poll numbers? Or how about the oversampling of blacks?
I feel like, as we get closer and closer to the election, a lot of people will realize the HUGE GLARING FLAWS in having her a veep.
The same goes for Biden who's gaffs in the last few days have put every coal mining stay in play. You can bag on Palin all you want, but at least she isnt helping lose states.
It's hard to take somebody seriously who tries to use proximity to Russia and a layover in Ireland as foreign policy experience. If that's really the best you've got, we have some issues. She's simply ignorant... and that's really the best word.
And so is Biden, I mean you want to compare Foreign Policy, this idiot wanted to split up Iraq into three Separate Countries, the idea was so hated in Iraq that it is said that helped bring the different factions together.
You have a man who said that we should give a free check of nearly half a billion dollars, no strings attached to Iran to make them "Like Us".
She probably has the potential to be a very good leader at one point, but right now it is just too obvious that she has no idea... what the word "politics" even means. I'm not gonna compare her to Joe Biden, who definitely suffers from chronic "foot-in-mouth" disease, but simply on her own merits, she does not cut it. Not anyone can be in such a position of power, and she's just the every-woman.
Yes becuase the Vice Presidency holds so much power, with being a tie breaking vote and all.
Listen everything you just attributed to Palin being ignorant and all, goes the exact same for Barack Obama. The difference is the Vice Presidency is a place for on the job experience, the Presidency is not.
Now before you hit that post button, I want a answer to my questions:
1: on 9/11 should Bush have continued to take a tour around Florida instead of going back to the White House ASAP.
2: If a major crisis were to strike the US, and the President was meeting with a Foreign Leader in a place like Japan, or at the G8, should he cancel the trip to go back to the United States and be a leader, or should he stay?
