What is one of the biggest issues effecting main street citizens today? If you guessed the soaring cost of oil you are correct. Plain and simple: the country providing our gas hates America, as do many other countries. They hate our freedoms, our ideas and all that we stand for. But what can they do about it? Attack us with bombs and military? Absolutely not, because we are ten times as powerful as them. So they have taken the one thing that we rely on them for. The weakness of the United States and that is our ultimate reliance on oil. They’ve jacked up the prices, which we can do nothing about. BUT, what we CAN do is stop relying on them for our oil needs, but how?
Our country is committing the main thing that George Washington warned against in his Farewell Address and that’s relying on foreign sources for a necessity of our country. If we can make a way to get our own oil, then gas prices will take a hit and we won’t need all of our gas imported from other countries! And guess what: there is another way, and it’s not wasting billions of dollars on “alternate fuel sources” that could take years to develop! It’s drilling offshore, where there are reserves of oil under the sea. This process (contrary to popular belief) is not harmful to the environment and costs MILLIONS less than “alternate fuel sources”.
Another question: what exactly are average American families supposed to do while these “amazing ‘healthy planet’ environmentally safe” fuel sources are in the development process? Continue paying four bucks a gallon for fuel? We can’t last much longer on these terms. This is what Barack Obama is suggesting: That we continue with what we are doing currently while he “invests” away our tax money towards other fuel when it’s right underneath us!!!!!! Does that make any sense at all?! John McCain’s ideas are much more practical. We drill offshore and in the Alaska reserves and stop relying on these other countries who just want to stick it to us. And then we use money LEFTOVER from a government budgeting system to find cleaner fuel. But that in no way will be a top priority of our country. This is hoe it should be.

Nuclear Weapons
As many people all know nuclear weapons are deadly and not to be taken lightly. A lot of people know about the tragedy of Hiroshima when we dropped an atomic bomb on them. It killed thousands instantly, injured more, and the radiation poisoning took care of the rest. So why remind you of this horrible piece of history? Because without history we are doomed to repeat the mistakes of the past.
After the initial blast of a nuclear weapon or bomb, the contamination process begins. These types of weapons are filled with a lethal chemical called Chernobyl which is part of what killed so many in Hiroshima. Alongside of that, the area around the target immediately heats to tens of millions of degrees Fahrenheit. A while after that cools there is a great amount of electromagnetic radiation, there is not much chance of survival from nuclear bombs.
Surprisingly, the political candidates are in agreement on this issue. Both believe that the world can survive without nuclear weapons. They cause so much damage and could severely injure our country if we were hit with one. Other countries are continuing to develop them though and I believe a common goal is to halt their production as well. If we have other countries dangling their knowledge over us we could wind up at their mercy and we CANNOT afford for that to happen.

Global Warming
The ideas behind global warming are actually pretty simple. Greenhouse gasses capture heat here on Earth and stay there in order to keep the surface warm. After a while more and more unnatural sources for greenhouse gasses were emitted into the atmosphere, so much that it created a thick layer over top of the surface of the Earth. These gasses remain in the atmosphere for more than fifty years so they can obviously be very damaging to our planet. As these gasses build up and sit in the atmosphere, apparently, the temperature of Earth rises. Over the past few centuries, the overall temperature of the Earth has increased one entire degree Fahrenheit. The controversial question facing us is whether or not these ideas are true or if it is a natural heating process?
If in fact the ideas proposed are true, then we are going to face big problems in the oh so near future. First of all, the effects have already become costly. We have dedicated millions of dollars already to support research for alternate fuel sources so as not to do the atmosphere more harm. Also in the long run it has been bad for the economy. People who believe in global warming have stopped buying certain products to “preserve” (or are they just being cheap?) Not to mention, people have taken a hit. We hear that rides in planes, driving a car, or even using HAIRSPRAY are bad for the environment! No one wants to be a planet hater so basically we get screwed over because we feel we shouldn’t use certain products. On top of that fuel efficient products are TWICE as expensive as regular!
The political parties have contradicting and corresponding views on global warming. The conservative party wants to drill offshore and drill in Alaska and stop relying on other countries for our oil. With EXTRA money republicans want to work on alternate sources for fuel. The Democratic Party also wants to halt reliance on other countries. But they are critically opposed to offshore drilling and drilling in Alaska. Part of the liberal platform is investing BILLIONS (with a B) in alternate fuel sources, when the answer is right underneath us (literally). To conclude, I believe the myth must be busted.

The Candidates on Technology
Though John McCain may not be able to use computers to their full advantage because of his disadvantage, he has a lot of opinions on them. He wants to put a permanent ban on state and local taxes for internet access. He also wants to create sights for emergency officials. Plus he wants to create websites that issue awards to government officials. John McCain has been penalized by the people for his lack of knowledge on computers because he can’t use them. His arms were broken and deformed during his time in captivity. But, it’s really not important for the president to use MySpace, when he should be concentrating on keeping our country safe.
But still, John McCain wants to take technology developments to a new level, for both communication purposes and to solve problems facing our country, such as addressing the climate change and better educating children. He is the former chairman of the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science and Transportation, and thus knows a lot about the issues affecting the people. John McCain wants to keep the internet free of unnecessary regulations. Isn’t that what most of us want?
On the other hand, Barack Obama wants more restrictions put on the internet, limiting search engines to a minimum. But he, like McCain, wants to use technology for the more pressing issues of our country, which hopefully will provide a solution. He also wants to use it to conduct business in Washington. Seeing how privileged Americans are, he wants to see to it that all of the access to technology that we have is utilized to its full extent. Obama wants to create alternate fuel sources and clean sources of energy for our nation. In the end, the candidates do not have many differing views on this subject.

Cartoon #1
In the eyes of the Democratic Party, Barack Obama can do no wrong. He is nicknamed the Messiah referring to the Bibles description of a religious figure who will lead the world from dark and sins. In this cartoon, it depicts Barack Obama writing the word “potatoe” on a black board. As most people know this is spelled incorrectly. We then see a journalist saying “HOW EMBARASSING! I’VE BEEN MISSPELLING IT ALL THIS TIME!” As we all know this notion is absurd, but is it unlike what people have been saying? According to democratic people BARACK OBAMA IS ALWAYS RIGHT! Is that possible: the answer is no. On top of that, how right exactly has Barack Obama been? He has relations to terrorists, which he denies. He has claimed that he will provide tax cuts to 95% of US citizens, when 35% aren’t paying them anyway! Another question that has arisen is Barack Obama’s critical analysis of Sarah Palin’s daughter Bristol. Barack Obama was born absolutely ILLEGITIMATELY!!!! And his mother married the man, and had the baby and he supported her! So, why is NObama so critically opposed to the decisions made by Palin’s daughter when the same ones were made by his mother! He supports abortion and yet if his mother had done what he wants all women with illegitimate children to do, he wouldn’t be alive!!! So how can people say that Barack Obama is always right when he has obviously made dozens of ridiculous blunders? Why can’t Obama just go visit his 58th state.
Cartoon #2
What exactly is Barack Obama’s relationship to Reverend Jeremiah Wright? During his campaign Obama was accused of having Muslim and terrorist ties. In his own defense he told the public that he has attended The Trinity United Church of Christ for over 20 years. In this cartoon it depicts Wright shouting “KILL WHITEY” and Barack Obama with a paper bag over his head saying “don’t blame me. I’m not really here.” So why would someone with such openness about where he attended church have a paper bag over his head? Well—it’s not that surprising! After his statements were made, there was a flood of information about the racist, anti-America, AWFUL preaching styles of Rev. Wright. When questioned about this—Barack Obama responded saying he had never heard anything racist OR anti-America come out of his mouth. Make no mistake: Barack Obama is a LIAR! Reverend Wright has written books, come out with videos, and been very open about his feelings. Now—Obama has even worse ties before, and as always his first choice is LIE LIKE A DOG!!!!! In conclusion: Should the US be angry? YES! Should the US have alternated opinions of how Barack Obama will lead this country? YES! Should the media buy into his crap and believe what he says? NO! But do they? YES! Because now our media is nothing but biased.
Cartoon #3
A question that has arisen among citizens is: Where the government is getting the 7 billion dollars to bail out these businesses? In this cartoon we see a sign that says “The Amazing Bail-Out!” and a “magician” pulling $7 billion out of a hat. This is actually how the government is acting. Like they have $7 billion to throw around, like it’s no big deal. Ask yourself: Where does the government get most of their money? The taxpayers. And with this bailout they will have to steal money from us through taxes to pay it off. We then see a woman and a man next to one another. The woman says “WOW! That’s incredible! How’d they do that?!” and the man replies “I know haw it’s done…I’m a taxpayer, you can’t fool me!…It’s all done with mirrors!” Then you see a bunny with a fishing pole stealing wallets from people’s pockets. This is how it will have to be done! If we want to live in a free country we have to pay taxes, and the government can charge however much they want. Then again, if we don’t go with the bailout, hundreds of people will lose money and these huge businesses will crash. We have to decide what’s more important. In the end, most people, other than the owners of these businesses, are undecided. It’s a rock and a hard place.
