First of all, I hope I am in the top 5.
Of course, no one believes he's going to lower taxes ~ his own party wouldn't vote for him if they thought that was true. Those of us here are hoping for some awesome prosperity coming our way, the gov't is going to get 41% of anything we make anyway. If you want to donate more, be my guest, but don't force me to.

I am going with John McCain. I think he will and knows how to slove this country's energy crisis. I am confident that he has the abilty to utilize the natural gas resources we have to the better for this nation to get us away from foriegn imports. I think he will use tax incentives to get industry to use natural gas in place of oil. He is the better canidate as far as I am concern, and I am sticking to that.

With the ears that Obama has I'd bet he could generate some awesome wind power with those things once they get flapping in the breeze!

AND, MCCAIN IS EYE CANDY???
FLAPPING EARS IS A BETTER ENERGY PLAN THAN MCCAIN HAS.
ITS WHAT'S BETWEEN THE EARS THAT MATTERS. WHEN A PERSON'S THOUGHTS ON THE ISSUES LACK SUBSTANCE THEY LAUNCH PERSONAL ATTACKS AS YOU'VE DONE HERE.

McCain will have an energy plan. We need to see who he chooses as a running mate and hear his plan.

McCain will have??? Seems to me he should already have an energy plan. He allegedly has so much experience. What has he been thinking for the last 26 years? This is energy crisis did not sneak up on us.

I could and so could you, say exactly the same things he has said but until
I , you, or he explains exactly how we will do these things, it's just a bunch of empty words!

Fair enough,

considering that he has intimate knowledge of several programs that waste money and perhaps using propaganda instead of million dollar marines to win the hearts and minds of enemies would save us about 10 billion a month.

I would say that is a good start to affording such change, it would give me relief having several marines in my family....
