Free In Idaho!

If you don’t don’t vote, nobody can tell where you stand, right?

This ought to tell you a little something about John McCain.  Strategic oil reserves.  Time of war.  Filling the reserves for a national emergency (we have, since 9/11)… got the picture?

WASHINGTON, May 13 (UPI) — The U.S. Senate Tuesday voted to stop filling the Strategic Petroleum Reserve to help reduce the retail price of gasoline.

The Hill reported that the measure passed 97-1, with Sen. Wayne Allard, R-Colo., opposing the bill.

Republican presidential hopeful Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., and Sen. James Inhofe, R-Okla., did not vote, the Hill said.

Good job Johnny boy.  You’ve missed a lot of votes since you started running.  But then, it’s tough to convince anybody you’re “a real conservative” when you actually have to record a vote, eh?

By the way, if we can’t drill for our own oil, we’d better be sticking some aside for a rainy day, don’t you think?  After all, as a nation we use a ton of oil, and filling the reserves takes a little time. 

For his part, U.S. President George Bush has resisted calls to suspend the delivery of about 70,000 barrels a day to the emergency stockpile. He said doing so would have little impact on prices in a nation that uses about 21 million barrels a day.

This is more election year, “we’re really doing something about gas prices” smoke and mirrors for the home folks. Thanks for showing up Maverick.

Faith.  Hope.  Change.  Bullcrap.

Obama in the pulpit in front of a cross, doing the Lord’s work, running for President.  McCain on a nationwide glowball warming crusade.  Big government to the rescue, saving mankind from all of its sins.

There is something wrong in this country right now, and you can blame it on the media, or blame it on stupid voters, or blame it on a corrupt system… it doesn’t matter.  Barack Obama is full of crap, and it has nothing to do with his color, his religion, or his party.  You people who will fall for this baloney and vote for this guy truly do deserve what you get.  The rest of us don’t.  And you folks who want to try to tell me that unless I vote for McCain it’ll be like voting for Obama can stuff it. 

If this guy is the best the Democrats have to offer, and a zillion Americans vote for him, then so be it.  And if John McCain is the best the Republicans can scrounge up and he loses, then so be it.  They’re both junk.  It isn’t my fault.  Every once in awhile the electorate goes brain dead.  And right now the system is broken.  Don’t tell me that voting for John McCain will save the day, and the country.  Don’t tell me it isn’t a vote “for” McCain, it’s a vote “against” Barack Obama.  I didn’t just fall off the turnip truck, and I recognize road apples when I see them.  There’s a bumper crop this year, but I’m not buying.
