Republicans don't acknowledge the concept of Efficiency.

It's either use a service, or don't use a service.
Nothing in between.

-David Ahlport

Neeehaaaaww!  As Colbert said tonight, commenting on Obama's observation that the good folk like mcbush, are actually proud of their ignorance.  They glory in it.

Why?  Because they know it bothers us so much.  The key is insteasd of getting mad, you have to go all Colbert on 'em.

Duuuhbya is dumb as a stump and proud.  All the dumbasses voted for him to get revenge on the rest of the world, hehey.

The earlier fun that the McCain campaign had over the tire gauges was stupid. But it takes courage for a politician to acknowledge a mistake. Let's at least give McCain credit for bringin an end this silliness.

While on the topic of energy efficiency, I know that reducing the speed limit is a political non-starter. But couldn't one or both of the presidential candidates suggest that one thing that people could do starting today is simply abide by the legal speed limits we already have? (I mean how could any politician get up and argue with that?)

Recently I drove a rental car to and from north-eastern WV and Washington, DC, sticking to the speed limit of 55 MPH. Just about everybody else was passing me, driving at 60-70 MPH, and getting at least 5% poorer fuel economy as a consequence.

These are only my personal opinions.

It takes courage to acknowledge a mistake?  That wasn't a mistake.  That was an intentional Rovian strategy to harass the Obama campaign.  They pulled back only when it looked like the tactic had started to backfire on them.  

Rove and Co. don't do truth.  It's all about winning at any cost.  Call that cynical, but that's the basic political reality of today's Republican party.

Let's at least give McCain (and only McCain, not his handlers) for acknowledging that Obama was right to begin with.

By the way, what do you think of "Save money and gasoline: stick to the legal speed limit" idea?

These are only my personal opinions.

Can't give Mcbush "credit" for yet another flip flop.  He still implied that Obama's only strategy on energy policy was tire inflation, in his flip flop statement.

How many flip flops is this on his continual weak  attempts at swiftboating Obama?

Did you like his entry of the prospective first lady, his wife, in that "beauty pangeant" at the biker rally?  Big pimpin'!  That's a real tailhook, fighter pilot 'tude towards women.

Wait for yet another flip flop.

Ron, with all due respect, if you distinguish McCain from his handlers you haven't been paying close attention.  Virtually everything that comes out of McCain's mouth is scripted to the nth degree.  It's not like McCain is a captive mouthpiece -- as the candidate he is the decider, is he not?

At any rate, the way McCain reraised the issue in a highly inaccurate and unfair way should tell you everything you need to know about his sense of decency and ethics.  McCain knows that the only way he wins is to completely demolish Obama's character.  That's exactly what he's doing.  And it is going to get much, much worse by election day.  The swiftboating of Kerry in 2004 will look like a picnic.

When folks make excuses for McCain that merely enables his passive-aggressive behavior.
