starfish Posted March 20, 2005 Report Share Posted March 20, 2005 How long do we have to wait before we realize that political correctness and the liberal left are harming our economy? Our energy infrastructure is aging rapidly and we need to do something about it now. Why do we have 42 or whatever types of fuel grades and formulas that strain our limited production facilities? Why have we not allowed the building of new nuclear power plants and oil refineries in over 30 years? Why don't people realize that forests ARE a renewable source? Why did many politicians stand in the way of drilling in ANWAR years ago and say that it was a waste of time because it would take ten years before the infrastructure could be built where we could get at the oil? Wouldn't we be closer to it now to it if we had started then? Why do we continue to elect politicians who stand in the way of progress? Why does the Democratic party call themselves progressives yet stand in the way of every reform plan whether it be energy, medicare, social security, taxes or education? Why have they become the party of NO?Am I the only guy who refuses to buy anything made in China? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for forests being renewable, what about the animals? 20 years ago africa in the interest of the people took your approach. Lets say it didnt go well.

wills Posted March 20, 2005 Report Share Posted March 20, 2005 It's easier to criticize than create. It's the NIMBY attitude, I want the benefit without the cost. I want a big SUV, but no refinery to fuel it. The Dems oppose anything Bush wants because they hate him. Have you heard any Social Security plan from them, other than no to Bush's plan?

starfish Posted March 21, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2005 Sure did! Partisan stuff. I think most people just want something done!←Exactly! Let's just get it done and done right! We need more doers and less jawboning politicians from whatever party who are more interested in petty party arguments rather than working on solutions. If your local politician from whatever party is not on the peoples side by bringing forth positive movements and real reform, its time to cut the strings.

550 Posted March 21, 2005 Report Share Posted March 21, 2005 Yeah hehe. All of what you stated is opinoin. I mean anyone can say that politicians stand in the way of progress. Well duh. But there are things they don't stand infront of. I mean you were rather vague in most of what you said. Not saying that I don't agree with some of it. But even if you were to "reference" it, that would make no difference that this is just your opinoin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheDude Posted March 21, 2005 Report Share Posted March 21, 2005 Exactly! Let's just get it done and done right! We need more doers and less jawboning politicians from whatever party who are more interested in petty party arguments rather than working on solutions. If your local politician from whatever party is not on the peoples side by bringing forth positive movements and real reform, its time to cut the strings.←That is what politics is "jawboning" (what does that mean?) Also you say "If your local politician from whatever party is not on the peoples side by bringing forth positive movements and real reform, its time to cut the strings". Thats one hell of a dumb thing to say. All politicians are on the peoples side, that is how they got to be politicians. They tried to accomplish things for the people that elected them. The fact is, people differ in opinion. I know that here in colorado half of the population is Rep. and the other Dem. so "cutting the strings" would be useless because a person would be brough in to replace the one you got rid of. This person will please half the people and offend and "not bring forth positive movements and real reform" in the eyes of the other half. Your ideas are useless for they will not accomplish anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where exactly am I being vague? What part is agreeable to you? Have you researched these topics or have expert knowledge of them that you would like to discuss? Please do so. If I would reference my post's comments to government reports, would it still be my opinion? Did you find my opinion of facts inconvenient to your beliefs?
