"The money is going to bad guys you don’t like, such as Hugo Chavez and the House of Saud"
1. Bush doesn't call the House of Saud bad guys, he actually calls them his friends, they've helped Bush througout his llife
2. Saudi Arabia is not seen or threated by the US as a bad guy
3. If you're calling Chavez a bad guy, what do you call the Bush administration, how many hundreds of thousands of deaths has Chavez caused
4. Chavez has a legitimate beef with the US, they tried to oust him from power, I would be pissed too
(Texas Kenny how strong is your urge now to call me a Chavez lover? Nowhere in there do I profess any love for the guy, just asking some objectivity)
"By drilling for American oil, we can help balance the trade deficit and the budget deficit, while creating hundreds of thousands of high-paying petroleum industry related jobs"
you could do the same by investing in infrastructure, but I now that's almost a commie thing to do
Do people need to keep explaining to you over and over again that the oil companies already have giant leases, but don't develop them, they haven't invested in refinary facilities for decades (some say to keep prices up), ....
Your way of comparing poll numbers is of course not only NOT scientific, but just insane dumb, that way you can argue everything eg: since Obama wore that shirt on TV a couple of weeks ago, his poll numbers have dropped.
It's named causality, look it up. You need to proof it, something you haven't done. Your analysis might be true, but so might another hunderd reasons.
"Then we can talk about Barack Obama being against guns. Then we can talk about Barack Obama planning to immediately initiate redeployment from Iraq."
do you even get the news where you life? 2 reasons why the so called left is getting angry with him, read: he's been going your way.
"Then we can talk about Barack Obama’s drug use in his younger days."
in his younger days. Bush was snorting coke in the oval office when he was in his 40s, when daddy sat in the chair
"Then we can talk about Barack Obama’s lack of military service"
McCain has said that you don't need it to become president. BTW in what kind of fascïod world do you live? You can't become president if you haven't learned to take orders without question? Oh yes, might come in handy when corporations tell you how to act.
