Romney/Ryan Lose 2012 Election Thread

[twa]

The only reason to do it that way is because it makes it harder for people to figure out what is going on because there will be lot's of individual state regulations.

As opposed to the feds not knowing what regs they will pull out of their ass next?

Right and that's what this push is really about. It is about limiting the power of the federal government on federal land.

It is about diminishing the ability of many of the citizens of the US to know and have a say about what is going on in land that is owned by the US.

I'm not saying that the states shouldn't be consulted and shouldn't have an important say (and I'll say the samething about Utah and off shore drilling in places like FL), but to simply turn over the control of federal land to those states is dumb and about limiting the ability of people who have a different opinion about what should happen on federal land to influence the policy of what happens on federal land.

Even though we are all citizens of the US and represented by the federal government.

**EDIT**
The other issue is that I don't think this really opens up much land for drilling UNLESS you are going to tell the state of UT that they can manage the federal lands in their state.

But a state like FL has no say in what happens off their costal, even if they are most directly affected by drilling there.

There are a few places where doing what you want would matter, but much of the federal land that is being held in reserve is off shore places where the nearby states don't want drilling.

You can't be surprised. Mitt Romney will say absolutely anything to win. He doesn't care about this country, he cares about Mitt Romney. There are so many Republicans that genuinely care about this country that it amazes me that couldn't have nominated someone else.

How about your tax records? Many have asked, including members of your own party.

Just another reason for me to dislike this dude.

This guy is the gift that keeps on giving.

Romney then added that the reason that big businesses are "doing fine in many places" is because they are able to invest their money in "tax havens."

"They know how to find ways to get through the tax code, save money by putting various things in the places where there are low tax havens around the world for their businesses," said Romney. "But small business is getting crushed."

Yep, because all white people are from America!

Just ask Martin Van Buren.



edit...Well, technically Canadia is America.

I think you are thinking of Chester A. Arthur, the 21st President of the United States who is rumored to have been born in Canada.
Martin Van Buren our 10th President, was born in the US, was actually the first President born a citizen of the United States.

Who is whiter than Tony Blair? Not born in the United States.

True. fyi - that post was meant to be sarcastic.

Actually, if you had watched, you'd know he was talking more about vehicles(particularly large trucks)being powered by natural gas, which would curb carbon emissions by 30%. I know you don't care, just had to get the truth out for the people.

T Bo is behind the curve,but trying to catch up.
I'm very familiar with NG applications and was pushing them while he was hoping to make a killing on wind subsidies

[DCSaints_fan]

Ahh I think you provided the link.

100-70 = 30

And no that isn't proven reserves (as your own link describes).

An "increase of 30%" would mean more like 77%.

0.3x + x = 1
1.3x = 1
x ~ 0.77

Very disappointing. People still believe that ****, it is irresponsible for someone seeking the presidency to fuel their idiocy. I felt he came off as a total douche when he was interviewed by CBS about it. Maybe I am wrong, but it seems like terrible politics to me. The only people who will find it endearing would crawl over broken glass to vote for him anyhow.
