		<description>Come now Steve.  I&#039;ve said the inability of the Bush Administration to get UBL (and the Anthrax killer among others) is inexcusable, and I&#039;ve said it for 6yrs now.

		<description>I see that you have a cool graphic that, apparently you plan to post after all of my comments, as some sor of &quot;proof&quot; that i am wrong when I point out the fact that Conservatives will never hold one of their own accountable for anything,ever.

		<description>I am no one&#039;s victim.  Unlike Conservatives who have declared themselves &quot;victims&quot; of Libaral conspiracies for years (Just ask you hero, Bill O&#039;Rielly or any member of the Religious Right).

Regarding troop reductions in Iraq, Bush Administrations have been &quot;announcing&quot; troop reductions in time for every election.  I will only believe it when they actuall do something AFTER an election.

.

regarding Osama bin laden and madelin Albright&#039;s uninformed comment:

Osama bin Laden is alive, and Conservatives everywhere have given George W. Bush a 100% Free Pass on his &quot;dead or alive&quot; pledge.  Not one Conservative, anywhere, including here, will utter even one word of criticism for the fact that, almost seven years after the September 11 attacks, Osama bin Laden is still alive and free.

Nor will any Conservative, here included, state that they have even a slight problem with George W. Bush&#039;s &quot;Don&#039;t care&quot; quote about him.

Any Democrat who declared he/she did not &quot;care&quot; about the capture of Osama bin Laden would be pilloried by FoxNews for weeks.  But never Geroge w. Bush for the same comment.  Not now, not ever.

I hold that one example up as proof of the Conservative &quot;Free Pass&quot; policy for comments and actions about which they would scream &quot;treason&quot; from anyone else.

Your responses to this comment will prove my point.</description>

		<description>There are other areas where I disagree as well Scott.

Of course, Stevie is not really interested in an intellectually honest conversation or debate.  He is only interested in his self-imposed poor pitiful me victim status, dishonest projectionism, and unfounded generalizations.</description>

		<description>Phillie Steve, prototype or production.  The govt, ordering a manuf to produce a product they&#039;d be doing anyway for good business, is a worthless endeavor and accomplishes nothing.  It will result in an inferior product, and increased cost to the consumer.  Why do you believe it takes a Congressional mandate for a business to act in it&#039;s own best interests for product demand?

Windfall taxes is a worthless endeavor and accomplishes nothing but higher prices to the end user and less supply.

Everything Congress is proposing are bandaids that do not address the problem.  Living without  oil use in our lives is not possible, unless you are willing to give up technology and advances.  And I&#039;ll guarantee that any auto prototype will end up using some petroleum based products in the design.   Printed circuit boards to upholstery... not to mention the factory energy use to create the same - all oil needs.

Oil is the foundation of so much more than energy and gas.  To attack a few industries with financial penalties and manufacturing demands  (that would be happening anyway as a result of the free market) is NOT a  cure for declining supplies and increasing needs.  It&#039;s just bait and switch of their own dereliction of duty and responsibility.  They are avoiding the obvious cure because they are owned by the enviro lobbyists.   

This is corruption you do not care to see?</description>

		<description>Scott,

I agree with you on everything except the border part.

McCain, unfortunately, has proven to be miserable on this issue.</description>

<p>I agree with you on everything except the border part.</p>
<p>McCain, unfortunately, has proven to be miserable on this issue.</p>

		<description>Yeah, if the Democrats run someone better, I will hold him accountable in 2012.  That said, I think the list you gave:

Some of John McCain’s promises:
Most American troops home from Iraq (Gen Petraeus to announce more reductions next month)
The Taliban substantially reduced (already happening)
Osama bin Laden is dead or captured (SecState Albright says we already have him)
North Korea has discontinued its Nuclear program (already discontinued and ready to be dismantled)
The League of Democracies has solved the genocide in Darfur (I have the least faith in this)
There have been several years of robust economic growth in the US. (housing collapse is supposed to end in late 08/early 09)
The US southern border is secure (McCain&#039;s big on this one)

I think that&#039;s very doable.

Conversely, will you re-elect a Democrat to Congress if they haven&#039;t ended the war in Iraq by Nov 08, if gasoline prices are higher than in 11/06, if the economy isn&#039;t better than it was in Nov 06, and if Bin Laden isn&#039;t captured as Speaker Pelosi promised?  I doubt it.</description>
