- brianbb98, on 12/11/2007, -3/+31WHY DO PEOPLE KEEP VOTING FOR THIS SAME *****?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
- Me1000, on 12/11/2007, -4/+21Ron Paul 08?
- BlackJackJester, on 12/11/2007, -2/+1815% by 2020 is such a ***** number. by that time, we are going to be forced because oil will cost 3x more and coal will cost 2x more, while the prices of solar and wind will have fallen probably by about that same amount. This bill was stupid. I propose a bill that would require all energy companies to increase the percent of energy generated from renewable sources to 50% by 2020, not to 15%...
- Borramakot, on 12/11/2007, -2/+13Not enough people get it.
- toddcat, on 12/11/2007, -6/+14Voting this guy in would be like voting in Dracula. First Alfred E. Neuman, then Dracula, drained of blood. Scary mofo.
- SteveIsTheDude, on 12/11/2007, -2/+8He stands for 911 and 911 and 911 and 911 and 911 and 911 and 911 and 911 and 911.
Oh, and he will also stand at your personal party for only $127,000 plus food for his entourage (and he must be able to set up a table to sell books). I was a fan once, but my eyes have opened.... - jmpeagle, on 12/11/2007, -2/+8it can be argued that the negative externalities (pollution) that arise from energy production infringe on private property rights as another party is affecting the value of your property without you being a part of any sort of agreement. You do not have a right to pollute your neighbor's land.
- donte, on 12/11/2007, -0/+5That's what speaking with a guilty conscience will do.
- inactive, on 12/11/2007, -4/+9The Goul, The ***** or Ron Paul! Make your choice fools!
- shadyacres, on 12/11/2007, -2/+7rudy can blow me
- inactive, on 12/11/2007, -3/+8The Goul is just another Bush! ***** him!
- dmightx, on 09/21/2008, -1/+6I'm sorry to say but I'm convinced that Ghouliani is far worse than Bush.
- SteveIsTheDude, on 12/11/2007, -1/+6Rudy went on a multi-million dollar speaking tour when he could have been on an Iraq commission that would have given him valuable foreign policy experience. Tim Russert called him on it, here: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/3032608/
- shaggy25, on 12/11/2007, -5/+10Ron Paul '08!
- jaymzdean, on 12/11/2007, -1/+6Oh, you're going to get him (or Hitlary) for president and you're going to like it.
Well, you won't like it, you'll hate it.
In fact, you'll eventually take to the streets because of it.
But go back to your cable teevee. Your government has things under control. - BeefBaron, on 12/11/2007, -0/+4Your entire Congress/Senate should be fired, a transitive bill put in place that says no income or contribution can be allowed from any source other than their set public office wage, lest they be charged with a high crime against government. Then a new government could be voted in.
Corruption would disappear pretty quickly if your idiot government couldnt profit off the corporation lobbying and self business interests. - Rubuntu, on 12/11/2007, -0/+4Sinking Fast, or should one say stinking
- tehsilentcircus, on 12/11/2007, -0/+4when are people gonna get a ***** clue? this guy is a peice of *****, and will always be a peice of *****, he is not going to be a president of the U.S. ever, NOT EVER. People just need to stop paying attention to him or even say his name. In fact, there is not one remotely acceptable candidate on the republican side other than Ron Paul.
- ChaosMotor, on 12/11/2007, -0/+4I don't know about your mother, but my mother taught me that two wrongs don't make a right, that something isn't okay just because someone else did it, and that you can't blame someone else for something you did.
- Identity4, on 12/11/2007, -0/+4I'll take Ron Paul with a side order of something different for a change.
- viktro, on 12/11/2007, -1/+5They faked the video
- jmpeagle, on 12/11/2007, -3/+7this isn't a scandal, it's just an ***** move
- mal1964, on 12/11/2007, -2/+6Utility companies’ don't have much or any competition so they will go slowwwwwwwwwwww

- inactive, on 12/11/2007, -0/+3He doesn't 'suck', he's a ***** Mafioso. FAR WORSE. He's a goddamn professional criminal.
- inactive, on 12/11/2007, -2/+5I know what's going through his head......"if I run for president, I can't lose........either my company gets more publicity because I'm such a powerful person or I'm the president and I can do all the shady deals I want.......I'll be filthy rich either way!"
- mal1964, on 12/11/2007, -2/+575% here
- blackrich, on 12/11/2007, -0/+3So go vote for him in your primary. Suppress the gag reflex if necessary and register Republican, if it's not too late. If you just sit back and wait for an honest, principled politician to pluck the nomination out of the air then YOU are responsible, in part, for the Rudy / Hilary race we are being groomed for.
Waiting for the world to change is less effective than changing the world. - bitcloud, on 12/11/2007, -0/+3"I'm not gonna do more than what's absolutely required"
that's the first bit of truth I've ever heard come out of that man's mouth - werkerb33, on 12/11/2007, -0/+3I think you found the solution when you said "by that time, we are going to be forced because oil will cost 3x more and coal will cost 2x more..."
When the money falls in line with the desired outcome all will be well. Stockholders of power companies want the best return on their investment (might include you if you own a mutual fund). Returns come from buying low and selling high. If carbon fuels increase in price and become more expensive than so-called "alternative" fuels, power firms will gladly and rapidly migrate generation to the cheapest power they can find.
I think one of the reasons we see requirements to produce xx% of renewable energy in these types of bills is because there is a secret worry among many that these source might not be (directly) cheaper in the long run. That may be, but likely does not take into account the total cost of carbon (mercury destroying fish values, etc.).
Rather than mandate a set percentage of non-carbon generation, it would be smarter to get the market on your side by providing significant incentives to renewable energy (tax credits, etc.). This will artificially lower the price of solar, et al and stimulate investment and generation. Keep in mind the lead-time for any power plant is huge (10 years), but they can last 50 years or more once built.
Get Wall Street on your side and this is a no-brainer.
Oh, and Go Nuclear! (I live within 30 miles of three reactors, so I practice what I preach) - DestroyFascism, on 12/11/2007, -0/+3Little Tyrant! What a big head....trust him? riiight!
- algorythm, on 12/11/2007, -0/+3What a weasel.
- iupetre, on 12/11/2007, -0/+3OMG... "I've severed every tie...I'm the owner" WTF is going on here?
- ivandir, on 12/11/2007, -0/+2Or the fact that he is a hypnotoad.
- inactive, on 12/11/2007, -1/+3In favor of what, moron?
- gjmcnamee, on 12/11/2007, -0/+2He is a Republican. Why is anybody surprised? This is exactly what you should expect. The next big surprise will be the the little boys he buggers! :)
- mal1964, on 12/11/2007, -0/+2Presidential Primaries, Caucuses, and Conventions. State by State
http://usgovinfo.about.com/cs/politicalsystem/a/de ...

- bobbilljoe, on 12/11/2007, -0/+2He comes across as so crooked it's unreal. What a ghoul.
- vornan19, on 12/11/2007, -0/+2Your post is so illiterately scrambled that I have no choice but to bury you as spam. Sorry.
- inactive, on 12/11/2007, -0/+2Then it just goes backroom.
The problem is that people think just writing rules down is sufficient, like the rules somehow jump off the paper and enforce themselves.
The classic, unsolvable problem is that the State doesn't WANT to play by its own rules and will take shortcuts whenever possible. It's human nature. These shortcuts inevitably progress a government to tyranny, as in Government the means is always more important than the ends. - Yage2006, on 12/11/2007, -1/+3Hey doesn't Ron Paul first have to be nominated by the republicans to run for them before anyone can even vote for him ?
Instead of saying vote ron paul everywhere on every topic maybe you should try to convince republicans who have any say on the matter to nominate him first.
I would maybe even vote for him if he was nominated though I see little hope of that happening. - ilves7, on 12/11/2007, -0/+1SPELLCHECK.. ulitity??
- Observant1, on 12/12/2007, -0/+1this the same lawfirm representing CINTRA from Spain in the building of a NAFTA superhighway to import more cheap slave made consumer goods from China for WALMART, who hillary was on the board of directors for 6+ years. WLMART is building a superport in Mexico for the Chinese supercargo ships so it unemploys US longshoremen and truckers. the cheap consumer goods funnel money out of the country as American manufacturers go bankrupt and unemploys millions.. but its all good, hillary wants to give us poor people free healthcare after making us all unemployed right?
