VivaRpsNOT, we didn't have a Republican congress rom '95 to '07.

First you tell us Carter reduced oil imports by 20% then later say he reduced from 9 million to 5 million barrels.

Tell me, was your education really that poor or are you just making things up as you go along?report abuse

"Rep. Carol Shea-Porter (NH) cast the deciding vote to send the House home for recess."

Apparently each State will claim that their rep cast the deciding vote . . .report abuse

Those high minded Republicans are at it again! McCain is trying to smear Obama as a "job killing machine" (which is absurd, since Republicans have demonstrated their amazing prowess at this):

In a McCain campaign "Economic Communications Plan", an aide to the Senator lays out several themes, tactics and objectives to shore up the Arizona Republican's standing on the economy and paint Barack Obama as a "job killing machine."

Boy-oh-boy, don't those Republicans want to "move America forward"! It's things like this that Collins is affiliated with and shy Suzi needs to be sent packing to the county.

Republicans prefer stunts like calling for more drilling EXCLUSIVE of anything else, and doing it to try and manufacture a desperation campaign issue! Of course, Republicans have never been bound by the truth, so we'll see if it works. They are the party of Willie Horton and Swift Boating after all, and unfortunately too many people seem to forget this at the voting booth ... which is why America is in such dire straits right now, thanks to twisted Republican "leadership."report abuse
