The republicans have won the last coupe of elections by reeling the 'godbotherers". Could be a conflicting allegience for you there GG. Stock up on Colgate!
But the yanks don't have to vote, and as Obama is a dead cert most of the doctor's wives will stay at home and the conservative voters will turn out like it is for church and John will get in.

McCain voted against dependence on foreign oil as he knows that nothing much will happen in the next eight years. Green fuel will increase 10 fold in that time but will still account for nothing much.Doris;3203937: [B said:McCain Voted Against Reducing Dependence On Foreign Oil. [/B]
* McCain Voted Against Off-Shore Drilling.
McCain Voted Against Taxing Oil Companies To Provide $100 Rebate To Consumers.
McCain Voted Against Funding for Renewable Energy, Extending Tax Credit and Low-Income Energy Assistance.
Do the oil men have him in their back pockets?
Do status quo electricity companies have him in their back pockets?
McCain is pretentious in alluding to be the saviour by solving the US dependence on foreign oil by off-shore drilling and denigrating Obama's policy ban on this.
What a flip flop!:
McCain voted against [reducing] dependence on foreign oil as he knows that nothing much will happen in the next eight years. Green fuel will increase 10 fold in that time but will still account for nothing much.
Funding renewable energy is a waste of time, it will have its day, with Uranium, in thirty years time.
Obama, great man as he is, will have to get bundles of cash in, to fund all his expensive policies. With the US in decline there will be less cash around.
McCain knows that it is oil and mining companies that are farthest ahead in the advancement of green energy.
Olbermann interviewing Brendan Freedman , US veteran of Iraq and Afghanistan wars...
zzd,What a lovely guy this fool Olbermann. He is truly pathetic.
zzd,
If you're defending OReilly , that says it all .
Uh, no, I'm pointing out what a pathetic human being Olbermann is.
ZZD.. at least O'Reilly has debates with people of different points of view.

Here's an example of O'Reilly "debating" Dawkins.

1.... that link provides quite a respectful and reasonable debate. ....
2. I've seen Bill O'Reilly when he has been bombastic and all, but this one was not one of them.
3. Olbermann's show is all one sided, and you have not addressed that. His ideal government would be a left wing dictatorship.
4. By the way, I remember a few years ago when Olbermann loved McCain - when McCain was poking GWB in the eye at every opportunity.
5. John McCain should have known that the tide would turn against him in the main stream media when he got the Republican nomination...
3m40s mark:-
Rupert: Obama is Highly intelligent, great record at Harvard, a complete break with the past ; I just hope that he's as good as he promises.
Question: Did you have anything to do with the New York Post endorsing him in the Dem Primary in NY State
Rupert: yeah (followed by laughter)
Unlike those on the left, people on the right are not one dimensional.
One can abhor godbotherers and still induce them to vote for one's own preferred candidate, who for their own reasons prefer him or her.
Now on the left you are a warmer, pro choice, anti indigenous intervention, read SMH, anti Murdoch, pro sorry, anti development and progress, and a tree hugger or else you are not in the running for a cushy $200,000 a year job as an adviser or a hollowman.
I don't necessarily include you in the above.

Olbermann is prepared to give a polly a fair hearing
well ZZ, most would agree that only a comedian would say that OReilly was fair with Dawkins.Ha Ha, that's a good one!!
Are you a comedian? Either that, or you haven't been watching Olbermann for the last 5 years.
