NObama 08

Answer 9

"Campaign Contributions" = Bribes--he who pays the piper calls the tune, McCain is a puppet of the oil companies because he is basically on their payroll with "campaign contributions".

Answer 10

Palin's husband is a BLUE COLLAR oil worker.

I heard that she taxed the oil companies in Alaska and gave every man, woman and child a $1200 tax rebate. She is doing such a good job as Governor that the state has a surplus which she returned to the people of Alaska.

Answer 11

Big Oil hates Palin, Palin taxed the c**p out of the ones operating in Alaska and gave each family a 1200$ tax rebate check. Courtest of Exxon,BP, etc etc.

Definition of Flip Flop : See : Obama

and as to the guy above me, he is right, Big Oil isn't the enemy neither is Microsoft.

OPEC ( Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries ) is the real enemy.

Iran in 3 days makes enough to buy all of Walmart Corporation, the largest corporation in the world.

Iran in 1 month makes enough to buy half of all stocks in the S&P 500.

Answer 13

who cares mccain sucks azz

Answer 14

The rich will put up as many smoke and mirrors as they can to save their god the "Almighty dollar".  If it doesn't benefit their total profit, they will rig elections in order to get their way.  They have officially forced our economy into a coma!  The US dollar is at an all time low and neither candidate has layed out a true and definite plan on how to bring back jobs that originated in the states in the first place.  Democrats, Republicans, and Independents PLEASE wake up and realize that the true separation in the US and around the world is only between the haves and the have nots.  

    DON'T JUST VOTE THIS TIME...ASK QUESTIONS!!!  WE MUST HOLD EACH AND EVERY ELECTED OFFICIAL ACCOUNTABLE FOR THE DIRECTION IN WHICH THEY HAVE LEAD OUR COUNTRY!!  

Answer 15

NOPE

Answer 16

*rolls eyes* Yes, the evil "Big Oil" which only controls about 7% of the oil trade.

Answer 17

He's an EMPLOYEE...get it?  (nah, you're an Obamabot...you're probably incapable).  I think you're just desperately worried since the record proves she's actually taken on the big oil companies.  Her husband is a union member, so definitely working class/blue collar.  She is Obama's worst nightmare since his base is the "latte liberal" faction of the party, not the middle class, American worker types.  BTW:  2 of Obama's biggest bundlers are oil company execs.  

Scared much?

edit:-    "spenny", insults and immature (i.e. "babyish") name calling are the last resort of those who lack the logic and intelligence to counter the facts which they prefer to ignore.  I could call you an "idiot" as well (not saying I am), and I have the evidence to back up my claim.  I'm thrilled that you are so frustrated by the insights and factual analysis of my post that you must lash out in a juvenile and childish display of behaviour.  

Meds might help...LOL

Answer 18

Palin's husband works for a living.  That's more than you could say about Obama's daddy!

Answer 19

Sounds like Palin's husband is in mid management at BP, hardly something showing she's a fan of big oil.  

Answer 20

Conservative values has always included big oil

Answer 21

Money.

Answer 22

Palin's husband quite his job to become a commercial fisherman.

Answer 23

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say because HE'S A POLITICIAN, HELLO!

oh, as a side note: "just me" youre an idiot

Answer 24

Obama gets more money from Exxon than McCain. How's that any different?

Being employed by an oil company doesn't mean anything, by the way.  On top of that, there's nothing wrong with the oil companies. They make very little profit compared to most other markets. They are lucky to bring in a 8-9% profit margin, which is quite low.  Microsoft has around a 26% profit margin typically.

Answer 25

What has conservative values got to do with oil?  Would you rather us depend on terrorists for oil?  People who hate us?  Hugo Chavez?  The Middle East who rather see us cooking in a pot of oil?  

We need to find our own resources and fast.  

...Or would you rather see a senior citizen frozen to death in their home because they couldn't afford the fuel bill?  Is that a conservative value?
