Had Enough? Vote Democrat?

I've certainly had enough of THIS.

I guess they'll have to come up with a new slogan ---Or perhaps McCain can show this graphic and steal it.

Had enough of this??? Vote Republican.

The Left pins this all on Bush.

We are about to suffer an Obama presidency. I've seen too many "intelligent" people that I know who are willing to overlook Barack's inexperience, wandering/naive foreign policy, Socialistic tendencies, affiliation with terrorists/ crooks, and abject racism- all in the hope for "change" (read lower gas prices).

I'll certainly vote for McCain, but I'm not too hopeful right now.

I brought up the question a couple of weeks ago: Who is the least qualified major candidate for President ever? I wasn't talking about stands on issues, of general politics, but experience and knowledge. My contention is that it's Obama. This matters not a whit to liberals, who counter with the idiotic, such as "Well, look where (fill in the blank's) 'experience' got us!" But his lack of experience is only part of what's wrong with him.

Gas prices will go down when supply goes up or world wide demand goes down. A US President can only realistically influence the former, and the Democrats are more likely to do things to lessen supply. Oh, I forgot to mention. Gas prices can go down when government subsidizes it. This, more than any social program, would break the government's bank.

BTW, I checked to see if I was anywhere near being right about my last claim above. The US uses approximately 400 million gallons of gas a day, or about 150 billion gallons a year. If the government subsidized the price at $1 per gallon, enough to drive the price down to what was only recently the shocking price of $3 a gallon, it would cost the government $150 billion a year. That's a lot of money. Maybe not enough to break the bank, but a lot. And that of course doesn't include the fact that subsidies would increase demand, increase inefficiencies in the market, add other costs, hinder exploration, and delay research into alternatives (the market is the only thing that can effectively drive this), all of which would increase underlying price. (Basically, any time the government subsidizes something, it gets more expensive.) And it hides the fact that we're still actually paying for it, through taxes. It's the way all subsidies work. Too bad socialists don't understand that.
