I am unclear what you are asserting. Are you asserting that a US Senator, much less one on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee - cannot go to Iraq and Europe. Are you actually asserting that. I mean even McCain said he should go

You missed the point. The point is McCain lied in his attack ads and you condone it. Would you feel the same way if the tables were turned.

What Obama won't tell you is that if he taxes the oil companies at the rate he wants to and gives us all $1,000.00, it won't outweigh the price increases we will have to suffer as a result of his misguided policy, or the effects from the rising deficit by using the government to do what the market can do more efficiently. Someone open a damn textbook, will ya?! I would actually suggest Paul Krugman's texts, because he uses specific examples of the failures of these types of rehashed 70's energy policies that result in shortages and higher prices. Doesn't anyone remember this? Good lord.

I am talking about the ads specific reference to drilling for our oil and how that will somehow reduce the price of gas ostensibly now -- that is a lie and a patent one at that Do you not acknowledge that was a lie?
